Section 2.1 The Variable Funding Notes. (a) On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the Borrower shall deliver (i) on the A&R Effective Date,

this Agreement, and (ii) on the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, to
each additional Lender so requesting, at the address set forth in the applicable
Joinder Supplement, a duly executed variable funding note in substantially the

date of this Agreement or the effective date of the applicable Joinder
Supplement, each in a face amount equal to the applicable Lender’s Commitment as
of the A&R Effective Date or the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, as

evidence obligations in an amount equal, at any time, to the outstanding
Advances by such Lender under the applicable VFN on such day. (b) During the
Reinvestment Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Lenders to
make advances of funds (each, an “Advance”) under this Agreement pursuant to a
Funding Notice; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make any
Advance on or after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the

commitment to purchase an Eligible Loan prior to the declaration of the
Termination Date or the Reinvestment Period End Date pursuant to -48- USActive

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa065.jpg]
Section 9.2(a) and the related Advance Date is not more than thirty (30) days
after such declaration. (c) Following the receipt of a Funding Notice during the
Reinvestment Period and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, the Lenders shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance if, after
giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible
Loans to be acquired by the Borrower with the proceeds of such Advance, (i) in
the sole discretion of any such Lender, a Default or Event of Default would or
could reasonably be expected to result therefrom or (ii) the aggregate Advances
Outstanding would exceed the Borrowing Base. (d) The Borrower may, with the
written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons who satisfy
the requirements set forth in Section 12.16 as Lenders and increase the
Commitments hereunder; provided that the Commitment of any Lender may only be
increased with the prior written consent of such Lender and the Administrative
Agent. Each additional Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Manager and the Borrower a Transferee Letter and a Joinder Supplement. Section
2.2 Procedures for Advances by the Lenders. (a) Subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.1(b), the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders by
delivering to the Lenders at certain times the information and documents set
forth in this Section 2.2. (b) With respect to all Advances, no later than 3:00
p.m. on the Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date, the Borrower (or
the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) shall deliver: (i) to the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) a wire disbursement
and authorization form, to the extent not previously delivered; and (ii) to the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Lender and the Collateral Agent) a
duly completed Funding Notice (including a duly completed Borrowing Base
Certificate as of the proposed Funding Date and giving pro forma effect to the
Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) which shall (i) specify
the desired amount of such Advance, which amount shall not cause the Advances
Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base and must be at least equal to $250,000
(or such lesser amount that is necessary to fund a draw under a Revolving Loan
or Delayed Draw Loan), to be allocated to each Lender in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share, (ii) specify the proposed Funding Date of such Advance, (iii)
specify the Loan(s) (if any) to be financed on such Funding Date (including the
appropriate file number, Obligor, Outstanding Balance, Assigned Value and
Purchase Price for such Loan(s) (if any)), and (iv) include a representation
that all conditions precedent (other than Sections 3.2(h) and (i)) for an
Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied or waived. Each
Funding Notice shall be irrevocable. If any Funding Notice is received by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender after 3:00 p.m. on
the Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date or on a day that is not a
Business Day, such Funding Notice shall -49- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa066.jpg]
be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and
each Lender at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. (c) On the proposed Funding
Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(b) and upon
satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III,
each Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, by wire
transfer to the account designated by the Borrower in the Funding Notice given
pursuant to this Section 2.2, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the least of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Advance, (ii) the
aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (iii) the maximum amount that,
after taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Advance,
could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing the Advances
Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base on the related Funding Date. (d) On
each Funding Date, the obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of
any such Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure
of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligation hereunder. Section 2.3 Reduction of the
Facility Amount; Principal Repayments. (a) The Borrower (or the Collateral
Manager on behalf of the Borrower) may irrevocably terminate the Commitments in
whole or irrevocably reduce in part the portion of the Commitments that exceed
the sum of the Advances Outstanding and accrued Interest and Breakage Costs with
respect thereto; provided that (i) the Borrower shall provide a Repayment Notice
at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such termination or reduction
to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Manager and the
Collateral Agent); (ii) any partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an
amount equal to $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess
thereof; and (iii) in the case of such termination or reduction on or prior to
the two (2) year anniversary of the First Amendment Closing Date other than (x)
in connection with an amendment and restatement of this Agreement or (y) within
five (5) Business Days following a demand by any Lender for Increased Costs
pursuant to Section 2.12, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to the Lenders the applicable Commitment Reduction Fee. Each notice
of a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be
irrevocable. The applicable Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of
the Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this
Section 2.3(a). (b) The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Borrower) may, at any time, reduce Advances Outstanding; provided that, other
than a reduction pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8 (i) the Borrower shall provide a
Repayment Notice at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such
reduction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
(provided that same day notice may be given with respect to curing any Borrowing
Base Deficiency) and (ii) any reduction of Advances Outstanding (other than with
respect to repayments of Advances Outstanding made by the Borrower to reduce
Advances Outstanding such that no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists) shall be in
a minimum amount of $500,000 (unless the Advances Outstanding are less than
$500,000 in which case the minimum reduction shall be equal to the Advances
Outstanding at such time) and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
thereof. -50- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa067.jpg]
In connection with any such reduction of Advances Outstanding, the Borrower (or,
in the case of curing a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Equity Investor on behalf
of the Borrower) shall deliver (1) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and each Lender of such Advances, a Repayment Notice and (2) funds to the
Collateral Agent for payment to the Lenders of such Advances sufficient to repay
such Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest thereon and any Breakage Costs which
may include instructions to the Collateral Agent to use funds from the Principal
Collection Account and/or funds otherwise provided by the Borrower or the Equity
Investor to the Collateral Agent with respect thereto; provided that, the
Advances Outstanding will not be reduced unless sufficient funds have been
remitted to pay all such amounts referred to in this sentence in full. Any
Advance so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed
during the Reinvestment Period. Any Repayment Notice relating to any repayment
pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be irrevocable. (c) Unless sooner prepaid
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Advances Outstanding shall be repaid in full
on the Termination Date or on such later date as is agreed to in writing by the
Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Section 2.4 Determination of Interest. (a) The Administrative Agent shall
determine the Interest (including unpaid Interest related thereto, if any, due
and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment
Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Collateral Manager and
the Borrower thereof on the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date. (b)
No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the
collection of Interest in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law. (c)
No Interest shall be considered paid by any distribution if at any time such
distribution is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason. Section
2.5 Notations on Variable Funding Notes. Each Lender is hereby authorized to
enter on a schedule attached to the VFN with respect to such Lender, as
applicable, a notation (which may be computer generated) or to otherwise record
in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each
Advance under the VFN made by the applicable Lender of (a) the date and
principal amount thereof and (b) each payment and repayment of principal
thereof. Any such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima
facie evidence of the outstanding Advances, as applicable, under each VFN. The
failure of any Lender to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the
applicable VFN shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
Section 2.6 Borrowing Base Deficiency Cures. Any Borrowing Base Deficiency may
be cured by the Borrower taking one or more of the following actions: (i)
crediting Cash into the Principal Collection Account; -51- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa068.jpg]
(ii) repaying the applicable Advances Outstanding in accordance with Section
2.3(b); (iii) posting additional Eligible Loans and/or Permitted Investments as
Collateral or effecting a Substitution of a new Eligible Loan for an existing
Loan; provided that the amount of any reduction of a Borrowing Base Deficiency
pursuant to any such additional Eligible Loans shall be the Adjusted Borrowing
Value of such Eligible Loans; or (iv) selling Loans and/or purchasing Loans in
accordance with Section 2.14 if such sales and/or purchases, together with any
other combination of actions under this Section 2.6 will cure such event;
provided that the sale proceeds of any Loan sold pursuant to this clause (iv)
that has not settled in Cash within twenty (20) Business Days of its respective
trade date shall no longer be included in the determination of whether any
Borrowing Base Deficiency has been cured. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Borrower may cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency by any combination of (i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.6 (or by any other action with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, if the Borrower has eliminated a Borrowing Base Deficiency
pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.6, upon written request of the Borrower
to the Collateral Agent to release such funds from the Principal Collection
Account and written certification by the Borrower (which may be by email) that
immediately after giving effect to the return of any such Cash, no Borrowing
Base Deficiency will exist, the Borrower shall be permitted the return of all or
a portion of the Cash so deposited in the Principal Collection Account and the
Collateral Agent shall pay the amount so requested to the Borrower and, for the
avoidance of doubt, such amount shall not constitute Available Funds. Section

3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in
immediately available funds and any amount not received before such time shall
be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Borrower shall, to the extent
permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or
deposited when due hereunder at 2.00% per annum above the Prime Rate, payable on
demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the

of the applicable Secured Party. All computations of interest and other fees
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other
than calculations with respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year
consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days

other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case
may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are
insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased
Costs pursuant to Section 2.12, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing
and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.10(a) until repaid in full.
(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of
the failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2 (other than any condition
that is waived by the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, on the date
specified therefor, whichever of the Collateral Manager or the Borrower is at
fault, such Person shall indemnify the applicable Lender -57- USActive

interpretation issued after the Original Closing Date from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (A)
subject any Affected Party to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes and
(ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital

credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition (other
than with respect to Taxes) affecting any Affected Party’s rights hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the
cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or under any other
Transaction Document, then on the Payment Date following demand by such Affected
Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis
for such demand), the Borrower shall pay (in accordance with Section 2.7 or 2.8,
as applicable) directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost
incurred or such reduction suffered. (b) If either (i) the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation,
directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law),
including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy, but excluding with respect to Taxes,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of
any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in
connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could
have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into

[omnibusamendmenttotransa075.jpg]
Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay (in accordance with Section
2.7 or 2.8, as applicable) directly to such Affected Party such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For
the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of any amendment or supplement to
Interpretation No. 46 or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting
standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation,
causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and
liabilities of the Borrower or any Affected Party with the assets and
liabilities of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or shall otherwise impose
any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return on capital or other loss, such
event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a
claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
but subject to Section 6.7, the provisions of this Section 2.12(b) shall not
apply to the consolidation of the Borrower for accounting purposes as required
by GAAP with the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof, whether or not an
Affected Party. (c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those
described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, any Affected Party is
required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity
support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in
connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances
hereunder, then on the Payment Date following demand by such Affected Party, the
Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as
may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or
paid by it. (d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the
Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any
Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the
Borrower and the Collateral Manager a written description as to such additional
or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written
description shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) If a Eurodollar
Disruption Event with respect to any Lender occurred on any date prior to the
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, such Lender shall in turn so notify
the Borrower, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Lender in
respect of which Interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate shall immediately be
converted into Advances Outstanding in respect of which such Interest accrues at
the Base Rate; provided that such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower promptly when the Eurodollar Disruption Event is no longer
continuing and interest on such Advances Outstanding on and after the date of
such notice with respect to such Lender shall accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate;
provided, further, that if a Eurodollar Disruption Event with respect to any
Lender has occurred and the LIBOR Rate has been replaced with a Benchmark
Replacement, such Eurodollar Disruption Event shall no longer be continuing, and
interest on such Advances Outstanding on and after the date of such replacement
shall accrue interest at the Benchmark Replacement. (f) Subject to the next
sentence of this Section 2.12(f), failure or delay on the part of any Affected
Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute
a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section
2.12 for any amounts incurred more than -59- USActive 55348338.2

[omnibusamendmenttotransa076.jpg]
six (6) months prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower
of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect,
then such six (6) month period shall be extended to include the period of such
retroactive effect. Section 2.13 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall
be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by
applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith
discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the
applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such
Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.13) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been made. (b) 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.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after 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 2.13) 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 and the calculation
thereof 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. (d) Without limiting the
generality of Section 11.5, each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the
Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so),
(ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 12.16(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any
Transaction 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 under any Transaction Document or -60- USActive 55348338.2

[omnibusamendmenttotransa077.jpg]
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other
source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section
2.13(d). (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower
to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from
or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation 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
Lender, if reasonably requested by the 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 Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements, and to
comply with any such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section
2.13(f)(ii)(1), Section 2.13(f)(ii)(2), and Section 2.13(f)(ii)(4) below) shall
not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: a. in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction

establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to
any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, 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; b. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; c. in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.13-1 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 within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” 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, as applicable; or d.
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of the income,
executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit 2.13-2 or Exhibit 2.13-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification or 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 2.13-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner; (3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to
do so, deliver to the Borrower 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 Lender under 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 required to be made; and (4) if a payment made to a
Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA -62- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa079.jpg]
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements
of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code,
as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Lender has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to withhold from such
payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in
writing of its legal inability to do so. (g) If any party determines, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13
(including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13),
it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to
the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party,
shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this
Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or
any other Person. (h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 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 obligations
under any Transaction Document. Section 2.14 Reinvestment; Discretionary Sales,

certified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, prior
to the Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower may withdraw funds on deposit in the

Unfunded Exposure Account to fund such Delayed Draw Loans and Revolving Loans
prior to withdrawing funds from the Principal Collection Account for such
purpose. Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this
Section 2.14(a) (as certified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent), the Collateral Agent will release funds from the

not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower and (B) the
amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account on such day. (b)
Substitutions. Subject to Sections 2.14(e) and (f), upon not less than two (2)

the Equity Investor’s discretion) may, during the Reinvestment Period, replace
any Loan with another Loan (each a “Substitution”) so long as (i) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, immediately after giving
effect to such Substitution, no Event of Default shall have occurred, (ii) each
substitute Loan acquired by the Borrower in connection with a Substitution shall

satisfied with respect to each substitute Loan to be acquired by the Borrower in
connection with such Substitution, and (v) immediately after giving effect to
such Substitution, no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists; provided that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2, in the event
a Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have existed immediately prior to giving
effect to such Substitution, the Borrower may effect a Substitution so long as,
immediately after giving effect to such Substitution and any other sale or
transfer substantially contemporaneous therewith, such Borrowing Base Deficiency
is reduced or cured. (c) Discretionary Sales. Subject to Sections 2.14(e) and
(f), upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders), the
Collateral Manager may direct the Borrower (which -64- USActive 55348338.2

direction shall be deemed a certification that the following conditions have
been satisfied) to sell Loans (each, a “Discretionary Sale”) so long as (i) no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, immediately after giving
effect to such Discretionary Sale, no Default or an Event of Default shall have
occurred, (ii) unless the Administrative Agent has provided its prior written
consent, the sale price of each Loan sold pursuant to a Discretionary Sale shall
be greater than or equal to its Adjusted Borrowing Value and (iii) immediately
after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, no Borrowing Base Deficiency
exists; provided that, in the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have
existed immediately prior to giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, the
Borrower may, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion, effect a Discretionary Sale so long as, immediately after giving
effect to such Discretionary Sale and any other sale or transfer substantially
contemporaneous therewith, such Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced or cured.
(d) Optional Sales. Subject to Section 2.14(e), the Borrower shall have the
right to sell all of the Loans included in the Collateral (an “Optional Sale”)
on any Business Day. The proceeds of any Optional Sale shall be distributed on
the related sale date in accordance with Section 2.8. (e) Conditions to Sales,
Substitutions and Repurchases. Any Discretionary Sale, sale pursuant to a
Substitution or Optional Sale effected pursuant to Sections 2.14(b), (c), or (d)
shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (as shall be
deemed certified by the Collateral Manager upon delivery of any instruction to

Sale effective pursuant to Sections 2.14(b), (c) or (d)): (i) the Collateral
Manager shall deliver a Collateral Management Report to the Administrative

selection of the Loans to be sold or substituted; (iv) the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of any amount to be deposited into
the Collection Account in connection with any sale or substitution; (v) each

date; (vii) any repayment of Advances Outstanding in connection with any sale or
substitution of Loans hereunder shall comply with the requirements set forth in
Section 2.3; (viii) as certified in writing to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower, any Discretionary Sale or sale in connection with a Substitution shall
be made by the Borrower to a third-party purchaser unaffiliated with the
Collateral Manager in a transaction (1) reflecting arm’s-length market terms and
(2) in which the Borrower makes no representations, warranties or covenants and
provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party to such sale
(other than the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the LSTA
Par/Near Par Trade Confirmation, the LSTA Distressed Trade Confirmation or the
LSTA Purchase and Sale Agreement for Distressed Trades, in each case as
published by The Loan Syndications and Trading Association, Inc. as of the date
of such confirmation or agreement, or substantially similar representations,
warranties and covenants, to the extent such documentation is not used in
connection with such transaction), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Borrower may make a Discretionary Sale or sale in connection with a
Substitution, in each case for fair market value, to the Collateral Manager or
an Affiliate of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (except that, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such consent shall be
required in connection with a Discretionary Sale or Substitution permitted by
Section 2.14(f)); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower may only make Discretionary
Sales, sales pursuant to a Substitution or an Optional Sale with the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; (ix) the
Borrower shall pay an amount equal to all Breakage Costs (with respect to any
Optional Sale) and other accrued and unpaid costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees) of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders (but not including any Defaulting Lender) and the Collateral Agent in
connection with any such sale, substitution or repurchase (including, but not
limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and any other party having an
interest in the Loan in connection with such sale, substitution or repurchase);
(x) with respect to an Optional Sale, the Borrower shall, not later than ten
(10) Business Days prior to the date of such sale, deliver to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender a certificate and evidence to the reasonable satisfaction
of such parties (which satisfaction shall be confirmed in writing by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender) that the Borrower shall have sufficient
funds on or prior to the date of such sale to pay the outstanding Obligations in
full pursuant to Section 2.8; (xi) if any Loan sold pursuant to a Discretionary
Sale, sale pursuant to a Substitution or Optional Sale is sold for a price less
than its Adjusted Borrowing Value, the Administrative Agent shall have provided
its prior written consent to such sale in its -66- USActive 55348338.2

intended to be sold by the Borrower during any 12-month rolling period shall not
exceed, collectively, (i) in connection with a Substitution, 25% of the Facility
Amount or (ii) in connection with a Discretionary Sale, 25% of the Facility
Amount, in each case, as of the start of such 12-month period (or such lesser
number of months as shall have elapsed as of such date); provided that, the
limitation set forth in this clause (f)(ii) shall not apply with respect to any
Discretionary Sale of a Loan (x) in connection with a refinancing by the related
Obligor or (y) certified by the Collateral Manager to the Administrative Agent
to be to an existing collateralized loan obligation facility managed by the
Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager. (g) Sales of
Loans with an Assigned Value of Zero and Sales of Equity Securities. The
Borrower may sell any Loan with an Assigned Value of zero or any Equity Security
to any Person; provided, that any such sale shall be made on an arm’s-length
basis at fair market value. Section 2.15 [Reserved]. Section 2.16 Capital
Contributions. The Equity Investor may, but shall not be obligated to, make a
capital contribution in Cash or securities to the Borrower at any time, which
proceeds may be deposited into any Account. Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. (a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) 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
Section 12.1; (ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such
Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Borrower in its reasonable discretion)),
to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
-67- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa084.jpg]
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 non-interest bearing deposit account and
released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund
future Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the other 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 (except to the extent
caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Borrower in its
reasonable discretion), to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such
Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided
that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-
Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of
any Advances of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and (iii) such Defaulting Lender
shall not be entitled to receive any Non- Usage Fee or Commitment Reduction Fee
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no
circumstance shall the Borrower retroactively be or become required to pay any
such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such
Defaulting Lender). (b) If the Administrative Agent determines in its sole
discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any
cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that
portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions
as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances
to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease
to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; 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. Section 2.18 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender is
a Defaulting Lender hereunder or if any Lender (other than Wells Fargo) (i)
requires the Borrower to pay any additional amounts under Section 2.12 or
Section 2.13 with -68- USActive 55348338.2

respect thereto, (ii) does not consent to any amendment or modification
(including in the form of a consent or waiver) which is approved by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, or (iii) does not

agents regarding payments to be made with respect to the Collateral to the
Collection Account, unless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower,
have consented to such change. (d) Compliance with Sanctions. None of the
Collateral Manager, any Person directly or indirectly Controlling the Collateral
Manager nor any Person directly or indirectly Controlled by the Collateral
Manager and, to the Collateral Manager’s knowledge, no Related Party of the
foregoing will, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Advance
hereunder, or lend, contribute, or otherwise make available such proceeds to any
subsidiary, joint venture partner, or other Person (i) to fund any activities or
business of or with a Sanctioned Person, or (ii) -100- USActive 55348338.2

Lender to be in breach of any Sanctions. Each Person shall comply with all
applicable Sanctions in all material respects, and shall maintain policies and
procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with Sanctions. Each Person
will notify each Lender and the Administrative Agent in writing not more than
one (1) Business Day after becoming aware of any breach of this section. Section
5.5 Affirmative Covenants of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
covenants and agrees with the Lenders that: (a) Compliance with Law. The
Collateral Agent will comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law.
(b) Preservation of Existence. The Collateral Agent will preserve and maintain
its existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its
formation and qualify and remain qualified in good standing in each jurisdiction
where failure to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises,
privileges and qualification has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect. (c) Location of Underlying Instruments. Subject to
Section 14.4, the Underlying Instruments shall remain at all times in the
possession of the Custodian at the address set forth on Annex A hereto, unless
notice of a different address is given in accordance with the terms hereof or
unless the Administrative Agent agrees to allow certain Underlying Instruments
to be released to the Collateral Manager on a temporary basis in accordance with
the terms hereof, except as such Underlying Instruments may be released pursuant
to this Agreement. (d) Corporate Collateral Agent Required; Eligibility. The

forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time
the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.5(d), the Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice
to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Lenders that it has ceased to be
eligible to be the Collateral Agent. Section 5.6 Negative Covenants of the

contemplated by this Agreement. -101- USActive 55348338.2

certain administrative functions on behalf of the Borrower delegated to it under
this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement, and the Collateral Manager hereby accepts such appointment. The
Collateral Manager shall have the power to execute and deliver all necessary and
appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of the Borrower in connection
with performing its obligations set forth herein. Except as may otherwise be
expressly provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Manager will perform its
obligations hereunder in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard. The
Collateral Manager and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Equity Investor and the other Secured
Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the
Collateral Manager hereunder. Section 6.2 Duties of the Collateral Manager. (a)
Duties. Subject to the provisions concerning its general duties and obligations
as set forth in Section 6.1 and the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral
Manager agrees to manage the investment and reinvestment of the Collateral and
shall perform on behalf of the Borrower all duties and functions assigned to the
Borrower in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the duties
that have been expressly delegated to the Collateral Manager in this Agreement;
it being understood that the Collateral Manager shall have no obligation
hereunder to perform any duties other than as specified herein and in the other
Transaction Documents. The Borrower hereby irrevocably (except as provided
below) appoints the Collateral Manager as its true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead
in connection with the performance of its duties provided for in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the following powers: (A) to give or cause to be

Equity Securities and Permitted Investments in connection with any acquisition,
sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (C) to execute (under hand,
under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on
behalf of the Borrower all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments,

pursuant -102- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa119.jpg]
to this Agreement and relating to any Loan, Equity Security or Permitted
Investment. The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that such
attorney-in-fact (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant
hereto and authorizes such attorney-in-fact to exercise full discretion and act
for the Borrower in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the
managers or officers of the Borrower might or could do in respect of the
performance of such services, as well as in respect of all other things the
Collateral Manager deems necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct
of the Collateral Manager’s services under this Agreement, subject in each case
to the applicable terms of this Agreement. The Borrower hereby authorizes such
attorney-in-fact, in its sole discretion (but subject to applicable law and the
provisions of this Agreement), to take all actions that it considers reasonably
necessary and appropriate in respect of the Loans, the Equity Securities, the
Permitted Investments and this Agreement. Nevertheless, if so requested by the
Collateral Manager or a purchaser of any Loan, Equity Security or Permitted
Investment, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other
disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Manager or such
purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases, powers of attorney,
proxies, dividends, other orders and other instruments as may reasonably be
designated in any such request. Except as otherwise set forth and provided for
herein, this grant of power of attorney is coupled with an interest, and it
shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent dissolution or bankruptcy of
the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the appointment
herein of the Collateral Manager as the Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact
shall automatically cease and terminate upon the resignation of the Collateral
Manager pursuant to Section 6.10 or any termination and removal of the
Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 6.11. Each of the Collateral Manager and
the Borrower shall take such other actions, and furnish such certificates,
opinions and other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the other party
hereto in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to facilitate
compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of this Agreement.
The Collateral Manager shall provide, and is hereby authorized to provide, the
following services to the Borrower: (i) select the Loans and Permitted
Investments to be acquired and select the Loans, Equity Securities and Permitted
Investments to be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower; (ii) invest and
reinvest the Collateral; (iii) instruct the Collateral Agent with respect to any
acquisition, disposition, or tender of, or Offer with respect to, a Loan, Equity
Security, Permitted Investment or other assets received in respect thereof by
the Borrower; (iv) perform the investment-related duties and functions
(including, without limitation, the furnishing of Funding Notices, Repayment
Notices, Reinvestment Notices, Borrowing Base Certificates, Collateral
Management Reports and other notices and certificates that the Collateral
Manager is required to deliver on behalf of the Borrower) as are expressly
required to be performed by the Collateral Manager hereunder with regard to
acquisitions, sales or other dispositions of Loans, Equity Securities, Permitted
Investments and other assets permitted to be acquired or sold under, and subject
to this Agreement (including any proceeds received by way of Offers, workouts
and restructurings on Loan or other assets owned by the Borrower) and shall
comply with any applicable -103- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa120.jpg]
requirements required to be performed by the Collateral Manager in this
Agreement with respect thereto; (v) negotiate on behalf of the Borrower with
prospective originators, sellers or purchasers of Loans as to the terms relating
to the acquisition, sale or other dispositions thereof; (vi) subject to any
applicable terms of this Agreement, monitor the Collateral on behalf of the
Borrower on an ongoing basis and shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Borrower copies of all reports, schedules and other data reasonably available to
the Collateral Manager that the Borrower is required to prepare and deliver or
cause to be prepared and delivered under this Agreement, in such forms and
containing such information required thereby, in reasonably sufficient time for
such required reports, schedules and data to be reviewed and delivered by or on
behalf of the Borrower to the parties entitled thereto under this Agreement. The
obligation of the Collateral Manager to furnish such information is subject to
the Collateral Manager’s timely receipt of necessary reports and the appropriate
information from the Person responsible for the delivery of or preparation of
such information or such reports (including without limitation, the Obligors of
the Loans, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender) and to any confidentiality restrictions with respect thereto. The
Collateral Manager 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 reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or sent by a Person that the Collateral Manager
has no reason to believe is not duly authorized. The Collateral Manager also may
rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and made by a Person
the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Manager is
entitled to rely on any other information furnished to it by third parties that
it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine provided that no Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge that such information is
materially incorrect; (vii) subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, as
agent of the Borrower and on behalf of the Borrower, direct the Collateral Agent
to take, or take on behalf of the Borrower, as applicable, any of the following
actions with respect to a Loan, Equity Security or Permitted Investment: (1)
purchase or otherwise acquire such Loan or Permitted Investment; (2) retain such
Loan, Equity Security or Permitted Investment; (3) sell or otherwise dispose of
such Loan, Equity Security or Permitted Investment (including any assets
received by way of Offers, workouts and restructurings on assets owned by the
Borrower) in the open market or otherwise; (4) if applicable, tender such Loan,
Equity Security or Permitted -104- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa121.jpg]
Investment; (5) if applicable, consent to or refuse to consent to any proposed
amendment, modification, restructuring, exchange, waiver or Offer and give or
refuse to give any notice or direction; (6) retain or dispose of any securities
or other property (if other than cash) received by the Borrower; (7) call or
waive any default with respect to any Loan; (8) vote on any matter for which the
Borrower has the right to vote pursuant to the Underlying Instruments (including
to accelerate the maturity of any Loan); (9) participate in a committee or group
formed by creditors of an Obligor under a Loan or issuer or obligor of a
Permitted Investment; (10) after the occurrence of the Collection Date,
determine in consultation with the Borrower when, in the view of the Collateral
Manager, it would be in the best interest of the Borrower to liquidate all or
any portion of the Collateral (and, if applicable, after discharge of the Lien
of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral under this Agreement) and, subject to
the prior approval of the Borrower, execute on behalf of the Borrower any such
liquidation or any actions necessary to effectuate any of the foregoing; (11)
advise and assist the Borrower with respect to the valuation of the Loans, to
the extent required or permitted by this Agreement, and advise and assist the
Equity Investor with respect to the valuation of the Borrower; and (12) exercise
any other rights or remedies with respect to such Loan, Equity Security or
Permitted Investment as provided in the Underlying Instruments of the Obligor or
issuer under such assets or the other documents governing the terms of such
assets or take any other action consistent with the terms of this Agreement
which the Collateral Manager reasonably determines to be in the best interests
of the Borrower. (viii) the Collateral Manager may, but shall not be obligated
to: (1) retain accounting, tax, legal and other professional services on behalf
of the Borrower as may be needed by the Borrower; and/or (2) consult on behalf
of the Borrower with the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders at such times as may be reasonably requested thereby in accordance with
this Agreement and provide any such Person requesting the same with the
information they are then entitled to have in accordance with this Agreement;
-105- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa122.jpg]
(ix) in connection with the purchase of any Loan by the Borrower, prepare, on
behalf of the Borrower, the information required to be delivered to the
Collateral Agent with respect to such Loan, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender pursuant to this Agreement. (x) prepare and submit claims to, and act as
post-billing liaison with, Obligors on each Loan (for which no administrative or
similar agent exists); (xi) maintain all necessary records and reports with
respect to the Collateral and provide such reports to the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in respect of the management and
administration of the Collateral (including information relating to its
performance under this Agreement) as may be required hereunder or as the
Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request; (xii) maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures
(including, without limitation, an ability to recreate management and
administration records evidencing the Collateral in the event of the destruction
of the originals thereof) and keep and maintain all documents, books, records
and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of
the Collateral; (xiii) promptly deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, from time to time, such information and
management and administration records (including information relating to its
performance under this Agreement) as such Person may from time to time
reasonably request; (xiv) identify each Loan clearly and unambiguously in its
records to reflect that such Loan is owned by the Borrower and that the Borrower
has granted a security interest therein to the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement; (xv) notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge of any
material action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or
counterclaim (1) that is or is threatened to be asserted by an Obligor with
respect to any Loan (or portion thereof) of which it has knowledge or has
received notice; or (2) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; (xvi) assist the Borrower in maintaining the first priority,
perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral; (xvii)
maintain the loan record(s) with respect to Loans included as part of the
Collateral (except for any loan records that have been provided to and remain in
the possession of the Collateral Agent); provided that upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default or a Collateral Manager
Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may request the Loan File(s) to be
sent to the Collateral Agent or its designee; -106- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa123.jpg]
(xviii) with respect to each Loan included as part of the Collateral, make the
applicable Loan File available for inspection by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, upon reasonable advance notice, at the offices of the
Collateral Manager during normal business hours; and (xix) direct the Collateral
Agent to make payments pursuant to the instructions set forth in the latest
Collateral Management Report in accordance with Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 and
prepare such other reports pursuant to Section 6.8 as (A) required to be
prepared by the Collateral Manager and (B) to the extent not otherwise expressly
a duty of the Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Collateral Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld). It is acknowledged and agreed that the
Borrower possesses only such rights with respect to the enforcement of rights
and remedies with respect to the Loans and the Underlying Assets and under the
Underlying Instruments as have been transferred to the Borrower with respect to
the related Loan, and therefore, for all purposes under this Agreement, the
Collateral Manager shall perform its administrative and management duties
hereunder only to the extent that, as a lender under the related loan
syndication Underlying Instruments, it has the right to do so. (b) In performing
its duties hereunder and when exercising its discretion and judgment in
connection with any transactions involving the Loans, Equity Securities or
Permitted Investments, the Collateral Manager shall carry out any reasonable
written directions of the Borrower for the purpose of preventing a breach of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that such directions
are not inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement by which the
Collateral Manager is bound or Applicable Law. (c) In providing services
hereunder, the Collateral Manager may, without the consent of any party but with
prior written notice to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
employ third parties, including, without limitation, its Affiliates, to render
advice (including investment advice), to provide services to arrange for trade
execution and otherwise provide assistance to the Borrower and to perform any of
its duties hereunder; provided that no such written notice shall be required for
a delegation of any duties of the Collateral Manager to BDC Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor or their respective employees or to the Collateral Agent in respect
of collateral administration duties performed by the Collateral Agent hereunder;
provided further, that such delegation of any of its duties hereunder or
performance of services by any other Person shall not relieve the Collateral
Manager of any of its duties or liabilities hereunder. BDC Advisor has engaged
Churchill Asset Management, LLC as a sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”), and each
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges such engagement. (d) The Collateral
Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to perform the
Collateral Manager’s duties called for hereunder and under the terms of this
Agreement applicable to the Collateral Manager, in good faith and, subject to
the Collateral Manager Standard, shall not be responsible for any action of the
Borrower or the Collateral Agent in following or declining to follow any advice,
recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager. -107- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa124.jpg]
(e) In performing its duties, the Collateral Manager shall perform its
obligations with reasonable care (i) using no less degree of care, skill and
attention as it employs with respect to similar collateral that it manages for
itself and its Affiliates having similar investment objectives and restrictions
and (ii) without limiting the clause (i), in a manner it reasonably believes
consistent with customary standards, policies and procedures followed by
institutional managers of national standing relating to assets of the nature and
character of the Loans (the “Collateral Manager Standard”). (f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Collateral Agent,
the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder
(including, but not limited to, the delivery of a Collateral Manager Termination
Notice), shall not release the Collateral Manager or the Borrower from any of
their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral, except that the
Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder shall terminate upon its removal
under this Agreement. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any
Collateral, other than as provided for herein or in any other Transaction
Document, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations
of the Collateral Manager hereunder. (g) Nothing in this Section 6.2 or any
other obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement shall release,
modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the obligations of the Borrower or any
other party hereunder. (h) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any
Indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by
such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law, be applied as a
collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such
outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable
thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of
such Obligor. (i) It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, in addition to
acting in its capacity as Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. (and its Affiliates) will
engage in other business and render other services outside the scope of its
capacity as Collateral Manager (including acting as administrative agent or as a
lender with respect to Underlying Instruments or as collateral manager or
investment advisor to other funds and investment vehicles). It is hereby further
acknowledged and agreed that such other activities shall in no way whatsoever
alter, amend or modify any of the Collateral Manager’s rights, duties or
obligations under the Transaction Documents. (j) Subject to the provisions of
this Agreement and Applicable Law, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized
to effect client cross-transactions in which the Collateral Manager causes the
purchase or sale of a Loan to be effected between the Borrower and another
account advised by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates. In addition,
the Collateral Manager is authorized to enter into agency cross-transactions in
which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates act as broker for the
Borrower and for the other party to the transaction, to the extent permitted
under Applicable Law, in which case any such Affiliate will have a potentially
conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities regarding, both parties
to the transaction. The Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to such broker
engaging in such transactions and acting in such capacities. -108- USActive
55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa125.jpg]
(k) The Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, hereby agrees that it shall cause any transaction
relating to the Loans, the Equity Securities and the Permitted Investments to be
conducted on terms and conditions negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and in
accordance with Applicable Law. (l) In circumstances where the consent of a
Person acting on behalf of the Borrower and independent of the Collateral
Manager to the acquisition or sale of a Loan, an Equity Security or a Permitted
Investment is not obtained, the Collateral Manager will use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the best execution (but shall have no obligation to
obtain the best prices available) for all orders placed with respect to any
purchase or sale of any Loan, Equity Security or Permitted Investment, in a
manner permitted by law and in a manner it believes to be in the best interests
of the Borrower, considering all circumstances. Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, select
brokers and/or dealers with whom to effect trades on behalf of the Borrower and
may open cash trading accounts with such brokers and dealers (provided that none
of the assets of the Borrower may be credited to, held in or subject to the lien
of the broker or dealer with respect to any such account). In addition, subject
to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Collateral Manager may, in the
allocation of business, take into consideration research and other brokerage
services furnished to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates by brokers and
dealers which are not Affiliates of the Collateral Manager; provided that the
Collateral Manager in good faith believes that the compensation for such
services rendered by such brokers and dealers complies with the requirements of
Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act (“Section 28(e)”), or in the case of principal
or fixed income transactions for which the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e) is not
available, the amount of the spread charged is reasonable in relation to the
value of the research and other brokerage services provided. Such services may
be used by the Collateral Manager in connection with its other advisory
activities or investment operations. The Collateral Manager may aggregate sales
and purchase orders placed with respect to the Loans with similar orders being
made simultaneously for other clients of the Collateral Manager or of Affiliates
of the Collateral Manager, if in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable judgment
such aggregation shall not result in an overall economic loss to the Borrower,
taking into consideration the availability of purchasers or sellers, the selling
or purchase price, brokerage commission or other expenses, as well as the
availability of such Loans on any other basis. In accounting for such aggregated
order price, commissions and other expenses may be apportioned on a weighted
average basis. When any purchase or sale of a Loan, Equity Security or Permitted
Investment occurs as part of any aggregate sales or purchase orders, the
objective of the Collateral Manager will be to allocate the executions among the
clients in an equitable manner and in accordance with the internal policies and
procedures of the Collateral Manager and, to the extent relevant, Applicable
Law. (m) The Collateral Manager shall not have authority to cause the Borrower
to purchase or sell any Collateral from or to the Collateral Manager or any of
its Affiliates as principal, or from or to any other account, portfolio or
person for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as
investment advisor, unless (i) the terms and conditions thereof are no less
favorable to the Borrower as the terms it would obtain in a comparable arm’s
length transaction with a non-Affiliate and (ii) the transactions are effected
in accordance with all Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the
Advisers Act). To the extent that Applicable Law requires disclosure to and the
consent of the Borrower to any purchase or sale transaction on a principal basis
with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, such requirement may be
-109- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa126.jpg]
satisfied with respect to the Borrower pursuant to any manner that is permitted
pursuant to then Applicable Law. (n) In the event that, in light of market
conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it
would be advisable to (i) facilitate the sale of the same asset both for the
Borrower and for either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any
Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or for another client of the Collateral
Manager or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) facilitate the acquisition of the same
asset both for the Borrower and for either the proprietary account of the
Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or for another
client of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof, then, in each such
case, such purchases or sales will be allocated in a manner that is consistent
with the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder, the Collateral Manager
Standard and Applicable Law. (o) The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge that
in certain circumstances, the interests of the Borrower and/or the Lenders with
respect to matters as to which the Collateral Manager is advising the Borrower
may conflict with the interests of the Collateral Manager and the Affiliates of
the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager is responsible for the investment
decisions made on behalf of other advisory clients, including certain
discretionary accounts. The Collateral Manager may determine that the Borrower
and the Collateral Manager, one of its Affiliates or some other client should
purchase or sell the same securities or loans at the same time. In that regard,
the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may, with respect to the Borrower,
compete for securities and loans that are suitable for the Borrower and other
clients managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. As a result, it is
possible that such clients, rather than the Borrower, will be successful in
acquiring such loans and securities. During the Reinvestment Period, the
Borrower will be offered such proportion of investment opportunities available
to the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates which is consistent with the
investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Borrower and otherwise
suitable for inclusion in the portfolio of the Borrower as the Collateral
Manager may determine. It is expected that such allocation between or among the
Borrower and any other clients managed by the Collateral Manager and/or its
Affiliates for which such investment is suitable will be allocated in accordance
with the allocation procedures of BDC Advisor. Generally, these procedures are
expected to result in allocations being made pro rata in respect of the annual
capacity of the Borrower and such other clients, provided that where such pro
rata allocation is not contemplated due to relevant investment objectives or
other considerations, including, without limitation, the nature and time horizon
of the investment, suitability and portfolio positions of each of the Borrower
and such other clients, including concentration, diversification, liquidity,
investment restrictions or other limitations, applicable tax and regulatory
considerations, or would otherwise result in a potential violation of applicable
law or contractual considerations, the Collateral Manager will seek to allocate
such opportunities in a fair and equitable manner among the Borrower and such
other clients. Each of the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates will allocate
investment opportunities across its own clients in accordance with its own
allocation policies and procedures and without regard to the allocation being
made by other Affiliates, including the Collateral Manager. Conflicts (and
potential conflicts) may arise when the Borrower is competing with other clients
for investment opportunities and exits. Where pro rata allocation is not
appropriate or would otherwise result in a potential violation of applicable law
or contractual considerations, the Collateral Manager will determine in its sole
and absolute discretion the allocation of the Borrower’s assets on whatever
basis they consider to be reasonable and consistent with the Borrower’s
investment guidelines and -110- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa127.jpg]
their obligations to the Borrower. In certain instances, it is possible that
other clients managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates, or for a
proprietary account of an Affiliate, may be in the same or similar loans or
securities as held by the Borrower, and which may be acquired at different times
at lower or higher prices. Those investments may also be in securities or other
instruments in different parts of the company’s capital structure that differ
significantly from the investments held by the Borrower, including with respect
to material terms and conditions, including without limitation seniority,
interest rates, dividends, voting rights and participation in liquidation
proceeds. Consequently, in certain instances these investments may be in
positions or interests which are potentially adverse to those taken or held by
the Borrower. In such circumstances, measures will be taken to address such
actual or potential conflicts, which may include, as appropriate, establishing
an information barrier between or among the applicable personnel of the
Collateral Manager and the relevant Affiliates, requiring recusal of certain
personnel from participating in decisions that give rise to such conflicts, or
other protective measures as shall be established from time to time to address
such conflicts. Section 6.3 Authorization of the Collateral Manager. (a) The
Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager to take any and all steps in
its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the
Collateral Manager and not inconsistent with the grant by the Borrower to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of a security interest
in the Collateral that at all times ranks senior to any other creditor of the
Borrower, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including,
without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments
representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the
delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in
compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to
enforcing payment thereof. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Collateral Manager with any
powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Collateral Manager to carry out its management and administrative duties
hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Collateral Manager to the fullest extent
in order to permit the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the
Collateral Manager be entitled to make any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent
a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or
to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any foreclosure or
similar collection procedure) without the prior written consent of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent. (b) After the declaration of the Termination Date,
at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager shall take
such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
enforce collection of the Collateral and directs the Collateral Manager;
provided that the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with Section 5.1(m),
notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such
Collateral to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and direct
that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the
Collateral Agent or any collection agent, sub-agent or account designated by the
Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower,
the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. -111- USActive 55348338.2

of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall be
required to inquire as to the authority of the Collateral Manager or any such
agent to bind the Borrower. Section 6.4 Collection of Payments; Accounts. (a)
Collection Efforts. The Collateral Manager will use commercially reasonable
efforts consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard to collect or cause to
be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans
included in the Collateral as and when the same become due. (b) Taxes and other
Amounts. To the extent the Borrower is required under the Underlying Instruments
to perform such duties, the Collateral Manager will collect all payments with
respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to
each Loan to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application
under the Underlying Instrument, directing all such payments to be paid to the
Collection Account, and direct the Collateral Agent to remit such amounts to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Underlying
Instruments. (c) Payments to Collection Account. On or before the applicable
Funding Date, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall have
instructed all Obligors and paying agents to make all payments owing to the
Borrower in respect of the Collateral directly to the Collection Account in
accordance with Section 2.9. (d) Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby
agrees that each Account shall be deemed to be a Securities Account. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Agent or any other
Securities Intermediary that holds any Cash or other Financial Asset for the
Borrower in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and
other property (subject to Section 6.4(e) below with respect to any property
other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC)
is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (B) the jurisdiction governing the
Account, all Cash and other Financial Assets credited to the Account and the
“securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e)
of the UCC) shall, in each case, be the State of New York. In no event may any
Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the
order of, or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial Asset
has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Agent or other Securities
Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account. (e) Underlying
Instruments. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might
otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as
defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, Custodian nor
any Securities Intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection
with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower of a security
interest to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan to examine or evaluate the
sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of
the Borrower under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine
the Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any
applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without
limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Agent and the Custodian shall
hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any -112- USActive 55348338.2

[omnibusamendmenttotransa129.jpg]
Loan transferred to the Collateral Agent hereunder each as custodial agent for
the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Section 6.5
Realization Upon Loans. The Collateral Manager may, in its discretion and
consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard and the Underlying Instruments,
foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of any Underlying Assets relating to a Loan that has become subject to
any default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments. The Collateral Manager will comply with the
Collateral Manager Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Underlying
Assets, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts
consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard to enforce all obligations of
Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such
Underlying Assets at public or private sale in circumstances other than those
described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to
the contrary, the Collateral Manager may cause the sale of any such Underlying
Assets to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to
the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager delivered to the
Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan, the Underlying Assets, the sale
price of the Underlying Assets and certifying that such sale price is the fair
market value of such Underlying Assets. In any case in which any such Underlying
Asset has suffered damage, the Collateral Manager will not expend funds in
connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such
Underlying Asset unless the Collateral Manager reasonably determines that such
repair and/or foreclosure or repossession will increase recoveries by an amount
greater than the amount of such expenses. The Collateral Manager will remit to
the Collection Account all recoveries received by the Collateral Manager in
connection with the sale or disposition of Underlying Assets relating to any
Loan hereunder. Section 6.6 Collateral Manager Compensation. As compensation for
its administrative and management activities hereunder, the Collateral Manager
or its designee shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Management Fee
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.7 and Section 2.8, as applicable;
provided, that the Collateral Manager shall be permitted to irrevocably waive
all or any portion of the Collateral Management Fee payable to the Collateral
Manager on a Payment Date by providing written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day
prior to the applicable Payment Date. Section 6.7 Expense Reimbursement. Subject
to Sections 2.7, 2.8(a), and 2.9(f), as applicable, the Borrower shall pay or
reimburse the Collateral Manager for its payment of any and all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred on behalf of the Borrower in connection with its
management, administration and collection activities with respect to the
Collateral and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without

the inclusion of the Borrower in such financial statements, and (vi) any and all
expenses incurred to comply with any law or regulation related to the activities
of the Borrower and, to the extent relating specifically to the Borrower (or its
activities) and the Collateral, the Collateral Manager; provided that, the
Collateral Manager shall bear as non-reimbursable costs, all of the Collateral
Manager’s own internal and incidental costs and expenses, including the
salaries, wages (other than with respect to clause (v) of this Section 6.7) and

its officers and employees (but not including directors and officers coverage
attributable to the performance of duties pursuant to any Transaction Document)
and the other similar general overhead costs and expenses of the Collateral
Manager incurred by or on behalf of the Collateral Manager in rendering the
services of the Collateral Manager hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents; provided, further, that (i) to the extent the Borrower is entitled to
be reimbursed for any such costs and expenses by any Obligor and is, in fact,
paid or reimbursed thereby, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Collateral
Manager in accordance with this Section 6.7 (net of any amounts, if any,
received by the Collateral Manager directly) and (ii) in the event the
Collateral Manager has fees or expenses (including internal costs of the
Collateral Manager or that are allocated to the Collateral Manager) that are
allocable to one or more entities in addition to the Borrower to which the
Collateral Manager provides management or advisory services, the Borrower shall
be responsible for only a pro rata portion (based on aggregate principal or
committed amounts) of such fees and expenses, based on the aggregate assets
under management of all entities to which such costs or expenses are allocable,
all such reimbursable costs and expenses being the “Collateral Manager
Reimbursable Expenses”. Section 6.8 Reports; Information. (a) Obligor Financial

discussion and analysis, executed covenant compliance certificates and related
covenant calculations with respect to such Obligor and with respect to each Loan
for such Obligor) provided to the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower)
for the periods required by the Underlying Instruments, which delivery shall be
made within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such financial reporting

as Schedule III, it being understood that the Collateral Manager and the
Administrative Agent will provide an updated Schedule III reflecting any further
amendments to such Schedule III prior to the issuance of the first such
agreed-upon procedures report, a copy of which shall replace the then existing
Schedule III) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral, the
Borrower, the Equity Investor and the Collateral Manager, compared the
information contained in the Collateral Management Reports delivered during the
period covered by such report with such documents and records and that no
matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe
that the information and the calculations included in such Collateral Management
Reports were not determined or performed in accordance with the provisions of

to provide to the Collateral Agent upon its request from time to time such
identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in
order to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with Applicable Banking Laws. (l)
In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, punitive, indirect
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not
limited to lost profits or diminution in value) even if the Collateral Agent has
been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of
such action. (m) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise
or to honor any of the discretionary rights or powers vested in it by this
Agreement at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
unless the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have provided to the
Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and
liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction. (n) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, note or other paper or document, but the Collateral Agent, in its
discretion, may, and upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent
shall, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as
it shall be directed, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, on not less
than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower and the Collateral
Manager, to examine the books and records relating to the Advances and the
Loans, personally or by agent or attorney, at a mutually agreed time during the
Borrower’s or the Collateral Manager’s normal business hours; provided that
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been cured, waived

month period. (o) The Collateral Agent shall (i) not have any obligation to
determine if a Loan meets the criteria specified in the definition of Eligible
Loan, (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

not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Collateral Manager, the

the accuracy of information received by it from the Collateral Manager (or from
any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to
the Collateral. (q) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are
solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers.
Except for (x) as expressly set forth herein and (y) the reasonable care of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or
responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not
the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii)
taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Collateral. (r) The Collateral Agent shall not be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter unless a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
thereof is received by the Collateral Agent at the Corporate Trust Office and
such notice references the Borrower or this Agreement or otherwise identifies
the Transaction Documents. (s) 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 of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equity
Investor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender made in connection with this
Agreement; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of the Borrower, Collateral Manager or the Equity Investor or to
inspect the property (including the books and records) of any of the Borrower,
Collateral Manager or the Equity Investor; (iii) the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article III; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other
instrument or writing furnished by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the
Equity Investor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection herewith.
Other than as expressly set forth in a Transaction Document as an obligation of
the Collateral Agent, 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
related Loan or any other Collateral under any circumstances, including if
payment is refused after due demand upon such Obligor. (t) The parties
acknowledge that in accordance with the Customer Identification Program (CIP)
requirements under the USA Patriot Act and its implementing regulations, the
Collateral Agent in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that
identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens
an account with the Collateral Agent. The Borrower hereby agrees that it shall
provide the Collateral Agent with such information as it may reasonably request
including, but not limited to, the Borrower’s name, physical address, tax
identification number (or, that of the Equity Investor, if applicable) and other
information that will help the Collateral Agent to identify and verify the
Borrower’s identity (and in certain circumstances, the beneficial owners
thereof) such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license
to do business, or other pertinent identifying information. (u) The Collateral
Agent shall not have any responsibility for preparing, filing -123- USActive

or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any
time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest
or lien granted to it hereunder. (v) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable
for any obligation of the Collateral Manager or any Loan Party contained in this
Agreement or for any errors of the Collateral Manager or any Loan Party
contained in any computer tape, certificate or other data or document delivered
to the Collateral Agent hereunder or on which the Collateral Agent must rely in
order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Secured Parties, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each agree to look only to the
Collateral Manager to perform such obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have
no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability
for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its
duties under this Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Collateral
Agent acting in accordance with information prepared or provided by a Person
other than the Collateral Agent or the failure of any such other Person to
prepare or provide such information. The Collateral Agent shall have no
responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability for (i) any
act, delay or failure to act of any third party, including the Collateral
Manager, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received
by the Collateral Agent from any third party, including the Collateral Manager,

respect to any Collateral, or (v) the acts or omissions of any successor
Collateral Agent. Section 7.7 Resignation of the Collateral Agent. The
Collateral Agent shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it except upon (a) sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower,
Collateral Manager, Administrative Agent and each Lender, or (b) the Collateral
Agent’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or
becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii) there is no reasonable
action that the Collateral Agent could take to make the performance of its
duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Collateral Agent shall be evidenced as to
clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a
successor Collateral Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder provided that, any successor
Collateral Agent shall (y) satisfy all requirements of Section 5.5(d) and (z) be
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager (if no Collateral
Manager Termination Event has occurred) and the Borrower (if no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing) in their respective sole discretion.
If no such successor is appointed within 90 days after the delivery of written
notice, the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Section 7.8 [Reserved].

Information Regarding the -124- USActive 55348338.2

[omnibusamendmenttotransa141.jpg]
Collateral; Audits. (a) The Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Collateral
Agent shall provide to the Administrative Agent access to documentation in the
possession of such Persons regarding the Collateral including in such cases
where the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in connection
with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such
documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two
(2) Business Days’ prior written request, (ii) during normal business hours and
(iii) subject to the Collateral Manager’s, the Borrower’s and Collateral Agent’s
normal security and confidentiality procedures. Periodically, at the discretion
of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may review the Collateral
Manager’s collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess
compliance by the Collateral Manager with Article VI and may conduct an audit of
the Collateral in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be
reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time. (b)
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 7.10(a), from time to time
on request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall permit
certified public accountants or other independent auditors acceptable to the
Administrative Agent to conduct a review of the documentation regarding the
Collateral. Up to two (2) such reviews per fiscal year at a cost of $100,000 per
fiscal year shall be at the expense of the Borrower and additional reviews in a
fiscal year shall be at the expense of the requesting Lender(s); provided that,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, any such reviews, regardless of
frequency or expense, shall be at the expense of the Borrower. ARTICLE VIII
SECURITY INTEREST Section 8.1 Grant of Security Interest. (a) This Agreement
constitutes a security agreement and the Advances effected hereby constitute
secured loans by the applicable Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law.
For such purpose, the Borrower hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as
of the Original Closing Date, the Successor Borrower hereby transfers, conveys,
assigns and grants as of the A&R Effective Date and each New Borrower hereby
transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the date on which such New Borrower
delivers a Borrower Joinder Agreement, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of such
Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the
obligations under) all Collateral (other than any Collateral which constitutes
Margin Stock), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by such
Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete
and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of
time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations of such Borrower arising in
connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document (other than
contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim
giving rise thereto has been asserted), whether now or hereafter existing, due
or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including,
without limitation, all Obligations. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions
set forth in this -125- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa142.jpg]
Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in
any property to the extent that (i) such grant of a security interest is
prohibited by any Applicable Law in effect as of the date set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence or requires a consent not obtained of any
Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable Law or (ii) such grant of a
security interest would render the Borrower’s rights or interests in such
property void, revoked or terminated or would result in a breach, violation or
default by the Borrower with respect thereto. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral
Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable
only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for its own fraud, gross negligence or willful
misconduct. If such Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent, at its option and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, but
without any obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise
cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. The expenses of the
Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance,
together with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Advances,
shall be payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent in accordance with
Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby. (b) The
grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is
not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Collateral Agent of
any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all
of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain
liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of
its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement
had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the
Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) the
Collateral Agent shall not have any obligations or liability under the
Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be
obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder
or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower, the
Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree to
treat, and to cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat, each Variable
Funding Note as indebtedness for purposes of United States federal and state
income tax or state franchise tax to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and
shall file its tax returns or reports, or cause its Affiliates to file such tax
returns or reports, in a manner consistent with such treatment. Section 8.2
Release of Lien on Collateral. (a) At the same time as (i) any Loan expires by
its terms or is prepaid in full and all amounts in respect thereof have been
paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account or
(ii) any Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale, Substitution or
Optional Sale pursuant to Section 2.14 or has been sold pursuant to Section 9.2,
the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties will, to the extent
requested by the Collateral Manager or -126- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa143.jpg]
the Borrower, release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with any
release of such Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, will upon receipt into the Collection Account of the Proceeds of any
such sale, payment in full or prepayment in full of a Loan, at the sole expense
of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Collateral
Manager (or its designee) requesting the same, any assignments, bills of sale,
termination statements and any other releases and instruments as such Person may
reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such
Collateral, (ii) deliver any portion of the Collateral to be released from the
Lien granted under this Agreement in its possession to or at the direction of
the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and
appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties on the applicable portion of the Collateral to be released and
delivered to or at the direction of the Borrower such portion of the Collateral
to be so released; provided that, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with
respect to any such Collateral in connection with such release, sale, transfer
and/or assignment. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall diminish the Collateral
Manager’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the Proceeds of
any such sale. (b) On the Collection Date, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, will release the security interest in the Collateral
created hereby, which release shall occur simultaneously with receipt in the
Collection Account of the payoff amount specified in a payoff letter signed by
the Administrative Agent. Upon request of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent
and to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a computation of all amounts owing to
the Collateral Agent as of the anticipated Collection Date and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the
Collateral Agent, a computation of all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders as of the anticipated Collection Date. In connection with such
release of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, will, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver to
the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (or its designee) requesting the same,
any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases
and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the
release of the Collateral, (ii) deliver any portion of the Collateral to be
released from the Lien granted under this Agreement in its possession to or at
the direction of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the
Borrower) and (iii) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and appropriate
to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties on the Collateral (including, without limitation, delivering a
Termination Notice (as defined in each Securities Account Control Agreement) in
respect of the applicable Securities Account Control Agreement); provided that,
the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no
representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such
Collateral in connection with such release. ARTICLE IX EVENTS OF DEFAULT Section

[omnibusamendmenttotransa146.jpg]
Section 9.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall, at the written request of the
Required Lenders and by written notice to the Borrower and the Collateral
Manager, declare (i) the Termination Date to have occurred and all outstanding
Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the
Borrower) or (ii) the Reinvestment Period End Date to have occurred; provided
that, in the case of any event involving the Borrower described in Section
9.1(c), all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full
(without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly, waived by the Borrower) and the Termination Date shall be deemed to
have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of any such event. (b) On and
after the declaration or occurrence of the Termination Date, the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have, subject to the
following clause (c), with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section
8.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under this Agreement or other
Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default provided
under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which
rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
but subject to Section 9.2(c), the Collateral Agent, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of
any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the
Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances
transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Collateral Agent’s name or
the name of any Secured Party or its nominee or nominees, and/or forthwith
collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof
(or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions (including by lease or by deferred payment arrangement) as it may
deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or
for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk and/or may take such
other actions as may be available under applicable law. The Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, auction or
closed tender, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free
of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is
hereby waived or released. In addition, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager
hereby agree that they will, at the Borrower’s expense and at the direction of
the Collateral Agent, forthwith, (i) assemble all or any part of the Collateral
as directed by the Collateral Agent and make the same available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent, whether at
the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere, and (ii) without notice except as
specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms, in
such lots, to such buyers, and according to such other instructions as the
Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ notice to the Borrower of any sale
hereunder shall constitute reasonable and proper notification. All cash Proceeds
received by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or -130- USActive

[omnibusamendmenttotransa147.jpg]
any part of the Loans (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with
such sale) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and applied pursuant
to Section 2.8. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower waives
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. The Borrower shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the
fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party to collect such deficiency, except as provided in Section 9.6(b).
(c) In connection with the sale of the Collateral following the acceleration of
the Obligations by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Equity
Investor, the Collateral Manager and their respective Affiliates thereof shall
have the right to purchase any or all of the Loans in the Collateral, in each
case by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, an amount
equal to all outstanding Obligations. If the Equity Investor, the Collateral
Manager or any of their Affiliates thereof fail to exercise this purchase right
within ten (10) Business Days following such acceleration of the Obligations
pursuant to Section 9.2(a), then such contractual rights shall be irrevocably
forfeited by the Equity Investor and Affiliates thereof, but nothing herein
shall prevent the Equity Investor or its Affiliates from bidding at any sale of
such Collateral. Section 9.3 Collateral Agent May Enforce Claims Without
Possession of VFNs. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document may be prosecuted and enforced by the Collateral
Agent without the possession of any of the VFNs or the production thereof in any
legal or equitable proceeding, judicial or otherwise, relating thereto, and any
such proceeding instituted by the Collateral Agent shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be
applied as set forth in Section 2.8. Section 9.4 Application of Cash Collected.
Any Cash collected by the Collateral Agent with respect to the VFNs pursuant to
this Article IX and any Cash that may then be held or thereafter received by the
Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations hereunder shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.8, at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent;
provided, that (a) subject to clause (b), no such date may be fixed by the
Collateral Agent unless the Collateral Agent has given the Borrower no fewer
than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of such date, which notice
shall set forth in reasonable detail the expected applications of Cash on such
date and (b) no failure by the Collateral Agent to deliver the notice required
pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) will affect the application of funds in the
Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 2.8 on the next succeeding Payment Date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa148.jpg]
Collateral Agent to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to any Transaction Document, or for the appointment of a separate
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder. The Collateral Agent
shall only institute proceedings and exercise remedies hereunder at the
direction of the Required Lenders (which the Collateral Agent shall implement
without delay) and, in taking any action as so directed, shall have the right to
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request. Section 9.6 Unconditional Rights of Lenders to
Receive Principal and Interest (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, each Lender shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the Obligations as such amounts become due
and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and, subject to the provisions
of Section 9.5, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Lender. (b) If
collections in respect of the Collateral are insufficient to make payments due
in respect of the VFNs, no other assets will be available for payment of the
deficiency following realization of the Collateral and application of the
proceeds thereof in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8, and the obligations of
the Borrower to pay any deficiency shall thereupon be extinguished and shall not
thereafter revive. Section 9.7 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Collateral Agent or any Lender has instituted any judicial proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Collateral Agent or to such Lender, then and in every such case the
Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Secured Parties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 9.8 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent or to the Lenders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. Section 9.9 Delay or Omission Not Waiver No delay
or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any Lender to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Section 9.9 or by law to the Collateral -132- USActive 55348338.2

[omnibusamendmenttotransa149.jpg]
Agent or to the Lenders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may
be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the Lenders, as the case may
be. Section 9.10 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Borrower covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a
petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under
any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in
effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies
under this Agreement; and the Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenant that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. Section 9.11 Power
of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its
true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place
and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights
and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in
this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or
an Event of Default, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to
give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received
hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection
with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and
deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and
other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the
Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any
substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any
agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any
Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower
shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale,
assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such
request. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the power of attorney granted by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.11 supersedes any other power of attorney or
similar rights granted by the Borrower to any other party (including, without
limitation, the Collateral Manager) under this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or any other agreement; provided that, the Collateral Manager may
continue to exercise its rights under this Agreement until the Collateral
Manager has received notice of the Collateral Agent’s exercise of its power of
attorney hereunder. -133- USActive 55348338.2

ARTICLE X INDEMNIFICATION Section 10.1 Indemnities by the Borrower. (a) Without
limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under
Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Secured Parties and
each of their respective assigns and officers, directors, employees and agents
thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and
against any and all damages, losses, claims (whether brought by or involving the
Borrower or any third party), liabilities and related costs and expenses,
including reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys and experts (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded
against, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party or any of them
arising out of or as a result of this Agreement (including the enforcement of
any provision hereof) or having an interest in the Collateral or in respect of
any Loan included in the Collateral, excluding, however, any Indemnified Amounts
to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of any Indemnified Party. If the Borrower has made any indemnity payment
pursuant to this Section 10.1 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient
thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others
(including insurance companies) in respect of such Indemnified Amounts then, the
recipient shall repay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount it has
collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for
Indemnified Amounts (except to the extent resulting from gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party) relating to or
resulting from: (i) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the
Borrower, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) or any of their
respective officers under or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material
respect when made or deemed made or delivered; (ii) the failure of any Loan
acquired on the Original Closing Date to be an Eligible Loan as of the Original
Closing Date and the failure of any Loan acquired after the Original Closing
Date to be an Eligible Loan on the related Funding Date; (iii) the failure by
the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) to comply
with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or any
agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, or with any Applicable
Law, with respect to any Collateral or the nonconformity of any Collateral with
any such Applicable Law; (iv) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority,
perfected security interest in the Collateral, together with all Collections,
free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) whether existing at the
time of any Advance or at any time thereafter; -134- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa151.jpg]
(v) the failure to maintain, as of the close of business on each Business Day
prior to the Termination Date, an amount of Advances Outstanding that is less
than or equal to the Borrowing Base on such Business Day; (vi) the failure to
file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or
other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable
jurisdiction or other Applicable Law with respect to any Collateral, whether at
the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time; (vii) any dispute, claim,
offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the
Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral (including, without
limitation, a defense based on the Collateral not being a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms); (viii) any failure of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf
of the Borrower) to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party or any failure by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on
behalf of the Borrower) to perform its respective duties under any Collateral;
(ix) any inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other
adjudication system of, any state in which an Obligor may be located as a result
of the failure of the Borrower to qualify to do business or file any notice or
business activity report or any similar report; (x) any action taken by the
Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) in the
enforcement or collection of any Collateral; (xi) any products liability claim
or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or
action of whatever sort arising out of or in connection with the Underlying
Assets or services that are the subject of any Collateral; (xii) reserved;
(xiii) any repayment by the Administrative Agent or another Secured Party of any
amount previously distributed in reduction of Advances Outstanding or payment of
Interest or any other amount due hereunder which amount the Administrative Agent
or another Secured Party believes in good faith is required to be repaid; (xiv)
except with respect to funds held in the Collection Account, the commingling of
Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds; (xv) any
investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of
proceeds of Advances or the security interest in the Collateral; (xvi) any
failure by the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable
third party transferor, in consideration for the transfer by such third party to
the Borrower of any item of Collateral or any attempt by any Person to void or
otherwise -135- USActive 55348338.2

(xvii) the use of the proceeds of any Advance in a manner other than as provided
in this Agreement; or (xviii) the failure of the Borrower or any of its agents
or representatives to remit to the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the
Borrower) or the Collateral Agent, Collections on the Collateral remitted to the
Borrower, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) or any such agent
or representative as provided in this Agreement. (b) Any amounts subject to the
indemnification provisions of this Section 10.1 shall be paid by the Borrower to
the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8, as applicable, on the
Payment Date following such Person’s demand therefor (if given at least five (5)
Business Days prior to such Payment Date, and, if not, on the next subsequent
Payment Date), accompanied by a reasonably detailed description in writing of
the related damage, loss, claim, liability and related costs and expenses. (c)
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.1
(subject to the limitations set forth herein) is unavailable to the Indemnified
Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the
Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such
Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also
the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 10.1(a).
(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.1 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, the
Custodian or the Collateral Agent and the termination of this Agreement. (e) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower upon obtaining actual
knowledge of any facts or circumstances upon which an Indemnified Party may base
a claim for any Indemnified Amounts. (f) This Section 10.1 shall not apply with
respect to Taxes other than any Taxes representing damages, losses, claims,
liabilities and related costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
Section 10.2 Indemnities by the Collateral Manager. (a) Without limiting any
other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law,
the Collateral Manager hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party, the
Borrower, the Equity Investor, and their respective managers, officers,
directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Manager
Indemnified Parties”) forthwith on demand, from and against any and all
Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any such Collateral Manager
Indemnified Party by reason of any acts or omissions of the Collateral -136-

[omnibusamendmenttotransa153.jpg]
Manager arising out of a breach of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, including,
but not limited to (i) any representation or warranty made by the Collateral
Manager under or in connection with any Transaction Document or any other
information or report delivered by or on behalf of the Collateral Manager
pursuant hereto, which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any
material respect when made or deemed made, (ii) the failure by the Collateral
Manager to comply with any Applicable Law, (iii) the failure of the Collateral
Manager to comply with its duties or obligations in accordance with this
Agreement or (iv) any gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud
on the part of the Collateral Manager excluding, however, any Indemnified
Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of any Collateral Manager Indemnified Party. The provisions of this
indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by a Collateral Manager
Indemnified Party subject to the limitations hereof; provided that the
indemnification of the Borrower, the Equity Investor and their respective
managers, officers, directors, employees and agents shall be in all respects
junior and subordinate to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties and
their respective managers, officers, directors, employees and agents. (b) Any
amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be
paid by the Collateral Manager to the applicable Collateral Manager Indemnified
Party within five (5) Business Days following such Person’s demand therefor. (c)
For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Manager shall have no liability for
making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification
constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loans. Furthermore, in no
event shall the Collateral Manager be liable for special, indirect or
consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not
limited to lost profits) even if the Collateral Manager has been advised of the
likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action. (d) The
obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Section 10.2 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Custodian and the termination of this Agreement. (e) Any indemnification
pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not be payable from the Collateral. This
Section 10.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes
representing damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses
arising from any non-Tax claim. ARTICLE XI THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT Section 11.1
Appointment. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
as its agent and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint
additional agents and bailees (including, without limitation, the Collateral
Agent) to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties.
Each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the
other -137- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa154.jpg]
Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing,
each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that
the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Lender may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the
security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them
to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured
party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now
existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Lenders may
direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder.
With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically
delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent 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 Lenders; provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder
if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the
Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to
any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to
liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests
the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the
Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative)
from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such
request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the
relevant action. To the extent not delivered or required to be delivered to the
Lenders by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager hereunder or the other
Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Lenders,
promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the same, copies of all
notices, certificates and other information delivered to the Administrative
Agent under the Transaction Documents. Section 11.2 Standard of Care. The
Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Section 11.3
Administrative Agent’s Reliance, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except
for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not
be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any
other Person in or in connection with -138- USActive 55348338.2

[omnibusamendmenttotransa155.jpg]
this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any of
the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equity Investor or to inspect the
property (including the books and records) of any of the Borrower, the
Collateral Manager or the Equity Investor; (iv) shall not be responsible for the
due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur
no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone),
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and
shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or
any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in
the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor
rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether
the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or
replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section
12.1, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of,
the LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank
offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. Section 11.4 Credit
Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any
of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision
to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s
Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party. Section 11.5 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each
Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager), ratably in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder;
provided that, the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The payment of amounts under this Section 11.5
shall be on an after-Tax basis. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share promptly upon demand for -139- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa156.jpg]
any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such
expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders
hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager.
Section 11.6 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign
at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five (5) days’
written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. Each of the Borrower and each Lender agree that it shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor
Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days
after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint
a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be
either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of
any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, (ii) a Lender or (iii) an Affiliate of such a bank or a Lender.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement. Section 11.7 Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless
specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or
if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their most recent
Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless
such amounts are received after 3:30 p.m. on such Business Day, in which case
the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to
each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to
such Lender not later than the following Business Day. -140- USActive 55348338.2

Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to any Transaction Document) if the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an
obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in
any such provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not
be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. Each waiver,
amendment and consent made pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction
Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in
Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend
this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such
amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at
5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has
delivered such amendment to all Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and
the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time,
written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the
Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election
will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders
have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required
Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark
Replacement pursuant to this 12.1 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark
Transition Start Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes -142- USActive

to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent provides prompt
written notice of such amendment to the other parties hereto. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders of
(i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election,
as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark
Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
(iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv)
the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent
or Lenders pursuant to this Section 12.1 including any determination with
respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of
an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking
any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made
in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto,
except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 12.1. The
Collateral Agent shall have no (i) responsibility or liability for (A) the
determination, designation or selection of (or any failure by the Administrative
Agent to determine, designate or select) a replacement reference rate (including
any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or other modifier thereto) as a successor
or replacement benchmark to the LIBOR Rate, including any Benchmark Replacement
or determining whether any such rate is a Benchmark Replacement or whether the
conditions to the adoption of such rate or any amendment to this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 12.1 (including any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes) have been satisfied, and shall be entitled to rely upon any such
determination or designation of such rate (and any modifier) by the
Administrative Agent or (B) determining whether a Benchmark Transition Event,
Early Opt-in Election or Eurodollar Disruption Event has occurred or (ii)
liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties hereunder solely as
a result of the unavailability of the LIBOR Rate or other reference rate as
described herein or the failure of a replacement rate to be adopted. During any
Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Base Rate will be used instead of the LIBOR
Rate for all outstanding Advances. Section 12.2 Notices, etc. All notices,

to Section 10.1) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Secured
Party, such Secured Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash
without recourse or warranty a portion of the Obligations held by the other
Secured Parties so that after such purchase each Secured Party will hold its
ratable proportion of the Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of
such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Secured Party, such
purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest. Section 12.4 No Waiver; Remedies. No
failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or other
Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial

and the Equity Investor. Section 12.6 Term of this Agreement. This Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set

Manager or the Equity Investor to the extent of any fraud, misappropriation,
embezzlement or any other financial crime constituting a felony by such Person.

the Loans is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the
parties to this Agreement, may, prior to the date which is one year (or if
longer the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day after the

respect to a particular Borrower, the Termination Date or (B) if the Permitted
Securitization does proceed, the payment in full of all notes issued by the
Borrower thereunder, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, the Borrower, any bankruptcy, winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in
this Section 12.11(f) shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Collateral
Agent, the Custodian or any of the other party to this Agreement (i) from taking
any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (y) any case
or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Borrower or (z) any
involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than one
of the parties to this Agreement, or (ii) from commencing against the Borrower
or any of its property any legal action that is not a bankruptcy, winding up,

proceeding. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (f)
shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral in the manner provided herein
for the sums due or to become due under any obligation, instrument or agreement
that is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge
of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Loans or the VFN (to the
extent that they evidence debt) or secured by this Agreement until such
Collateral has been realized and proceeds distributed in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.7 and Section 2.8, whereupon any outstanding
indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower shall be extinguished. It is further
understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (f) shall not limit
the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any
proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long
as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal
liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower. (g)
U.S. Bank (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions
or directions pursuant to this Agreement or any document executed in connection
herewith sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar
unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that any person providing such
instructions or directions shall provide to U.S. Bank an incumbency certificate
listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which
incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted
from the listing. If such person elects to give U.S. Bank email or facsimile
instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and U.S. Bank in
its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, U.S. Bank’s reasonable
understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. U.S. Bank shall
not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
from U.S. Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions
notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a
subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or
directions agrees to assume all risks arising -148- USActive 55348338.2

transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that
the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its
transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree
of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances. (h) The
provisions of this Section 12.11 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Section 12.12 Protection of Right, Title and Interest in the
Collateral; Further Action Evidencing Advances. (a) The Borrower shall cause
this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements and
continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right,
title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, and of the Secured Parties to the Collateral to be promptly recorded,
registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and
filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to
preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent, as
agent of the Secured Parties, hereunder to all property comprising the
Collateral. The Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available
following such recoding, registration or filing. The Borrower shall cooperate
fully with the Collateral Manager in connection with the obligations set forth
above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the
intent of this Section 12.12(a). (b) The Borrower agrees that from time to time,
at its expense, it will promptly authorize, execute and deliver all instruments
and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the
security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative
Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies
hereunder or with respect to the Collateral. (c) If the Borrower or the
Collateral Manager fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to)
perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative
Agent’s or such Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article X. The
Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the
Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower
(i) to execute on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing
statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion
to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the
Secured Parties in the Collateral, including those that describe the Collateral
as “all assets,” or words of similar effect, and (ii) to file a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement
with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to
perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the
Secured Parties in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable. -149- USActive 55348338.2

fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of each financing statement filed
in respect of the Collateral referred to in Section 3.1(k) and Section 2.19(g)
or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or in
connection with any Advance hereunder, unless all Commitments have been
terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent
indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise
thereto has been asserted), (i) authorize, execute and deliver and file or cause
to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to each such
financing statement and (ii) furnish to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to the
Collateral Manager), an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, as of the date of such opinion, this Agreement creates in favor of the
Collateral Agent a security interest in the Collateral and that such security
interest is perfected and no further action (other than as specified in such
opinion) needs to be taken to ensure the continued effectiveness of such lien
over the next year. Such Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary
assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions. Section 12.13
Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the
Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall maintain and
shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa169.jpg]
Advance (or any portion thereof) or of any VFN (or any portion thereof) shall be
made unless the transferee has either a long-term unsecured debt rating of
“Baa2” or above from Moody’s or “BBB” or above from S&P, (ii) the consent of the
Borrower is not required for any assignment (x) to any Affiliate of a Lender,
(y) required by any change in Applicable Law or (z) if a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) in the case of an assignment of
any Commitment (or any portion thereof), any Advance (or any portion thereof) or
of any VFN (or of any portion thereof) the assignee executes and delivers to the
Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Custodian and
the Collateral Agent a fully executed Joinder Supplement substantially in the
form of Exhibit H hereto and a transferee letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit G hereto (a “Transferee Letter”). Each Lender hereby represents and
warrants that is a “Qualified Purchaser” within the meaning of Section 3(c)(7)
of the 1940 Act. The parties to any such assignment or sale of a participation
interest shall execute and deliver to such Lender for its acceptance and
recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be
satisfactory to such parties. The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or
grant any interest in, or permit any Lien (except Permitted Liens) to exist
upon, any of the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under the Transaction

Fargo shall not need prior consent of the Borrower to consolidate with or merge
into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties
and assets, including without limitation any Advance (or portion thereof) or any
VFN (or any portion thereof), to any Person. (b) The Administrative Agent,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a copy of
each Joinder Supplement and Transferee Letter delivered to it and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Obligations 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 Collateral Manager 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 Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the
Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. (c) The Borrower agrees that each participant
pursuant to Section 12.16(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12
and Section 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including
the requirements under Section 2.13(f) (it being understood that the
documentation required under Section 2.13(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant (A) agrees
to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee
hereunder; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its
participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent
such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from (i) the introduction
of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition
or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any
Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by the participating Lender or such
participant with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case
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 -153- USActive 55348338.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[omnibusamendmenttotransa170.jpg]
to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18 with
respect to the applicable participant. (d) Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of the applicable
participants and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such
participant’s interest in the Obligations (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 Obligations) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.16 or
any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or
any portion of its Advances and its VFN as collateral security to the Federal
Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its
investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder). (f) Wells Fargo, as a Lender, hereby agrees to retain at
least 51% of the Commitments unless (a) an Event of Default occurs or (b) it is
required to sell any or all of its Commitments by Applicable Law or any
regulatory authority. Section 12.17 Heading and Exhibits. The headings herein
are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or
interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached
hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are
incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes. Section 12.18 Intent of the
Parties. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that the
Advances are loans from the Lenders to the Borrower and do not constitute a
“security” within the meaning of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC. Section 12.19
Cooperation with Collateral Agent and Collateral Manager. The Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders agree to provide to the Collateral Agent or to the
Collateral Manager, as applicable, such information that the Collateral Agent or
the Collateral Manager may reasonably request from time to time in connection
with the preparation and delivery of any reports required pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the performance of their other duties under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document; -154- USActive 55348338.2

provided that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall not be required to
assume any undue burden or incur any undue expense in connection with this
Section 12.19. Section 12.20 Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
To the extent that this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document
constitutes a QFC, the Borrower agrees with each Secured Party as of the First
Amendment Closing Date as follows. (a) In the event a Covered Party becomes
subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of
this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document, and any interest and
obligation in or under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document 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 this Agreement and/or any
other the Transaction Document, and any such interest and obligation, were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b)
In the event that a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party
becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default
Rights under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document 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 this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

instruction received by it in accordance with this Section 14, or omitted to be

Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall return to the Custodian the Required
Loan Documents or other such documents (i) immediately upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, or (ii) when the Collateral Manager’s need therefor in
connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of an additional request for
release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Collateral
Manager to the Custodian in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E, the Collateral
Manager’s request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this
subsection shall be released by the Custodian to the Collateral Manager. (b)
Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision respecting release to the
Collateral Manager of the Required Loan Documents and documents by the Custodian

than 15 Loans at the time being serviced by the Collateral Manager under this
Agreement. Any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be
released by the Collateral Manager may be released only upon written
authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this paragraph
shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents to the Collateral
Manager pursuant to the immediately succeeding subsection. (c) Release for
Payment. Upon receipt by the Custodian of the Collateral Manager’s request for
release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received

request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) specifying the Collateral to be so returned and reciting
that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or
Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Custodian
shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (when required to be signed by the Administrative
Agent) promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Required
Loan Documents so requested to the Borrower. Section 14.6 Access to Certain
Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral; Audits. The Custodian
shall provide to the Administrative Agent access to the Required Loan Documents
and all other documentation in the possession of such Persons regarding the

Custodian hereunder, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such
documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two
(2) Business Days’ prior written request, (ii) during normal business hours and
(iii) subject to the Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures.
Periodically, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent may review the Collateral Manager’s collection and administration of the
Collateral in order to assess compliance by the Collateral Manager with Article
VI and may conduct an audit of the Collateral, and Required Loan Documents in
conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and
shall be completed in a reasonable period of time. Section 14.7 Merger or
Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which the Custodian may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the
Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and
assets of the Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the

of the Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Custodian under this
Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. Section

on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Custodian and appointment of a
successor custodian pursuant to Section 14.9 and the Custodian has ceased to

and unpaid Custodian Fees due and owing to it at the time of such removal or
termination. Section 14.9 Custodian Removal. The Custodian may be removed, with
or without cause, by the Administrative Agent upon at least sixty (60) days’
notice given in writing to the Custodian and the Lenders (the “Custodian
Termination Notice”); provided that notwithstanding its receipt of a Custodian
Termination Notice, the Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a
successor Custodian has been appointed in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 5.5(d) and 14.10, and has received all Underlying Instruments held by
the previous Custodian Section 14.10 Resignation. The Custodian shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon (a) sixty (60)
days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, Collateral Manager, Administrative
Agent and each Lender, or (b) the Custodian’s determination that (i) the
performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable
Law and (ii) there is no reasonable action that the Custodian could take to make
the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. No
such resignation shall become effective until a successor Custodian shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Custodian hereunder provided
that, any successor Custodian shall (y) satisfy all requirements of Section
5.5(d) and (z) be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager
(if no Collateral Manager Termination Event has occurred) and the Borrower (if
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in their
respective sole discretion. The Custodian’s sole responsibility after the
termination of its obligations as aforesaid shall be to safely maintain all of
the Required Loan Documents and to deliver the same to a successor Custodian;
provided that if no such successor is appointed within 90 days after the
delivery of written notice of the Custodian’s resignation, the Custodian may (i)
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Custodian or (ii) deliver all Required Loan Documents to the Borrower. The
Custodian shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of any successor
Custodian. Upon delivery of the Required Loan Documents to any successor
Custodian or to the Borrower as provided in this paragraph, all duties and
obligations of the Custodian shall cease and terminate. The payment of all costs
and expenses relating to the transfer of the Required Loan Documents (including
any shipping costs) upon termination shall be the sole responsibility of the
Borrower. Section 14.11 Limitations on Liability. Each of the protections,
reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Article

employees, agents, designees, successors and assigns. -164- USActive 55348338.2

Section 14.12 Custodian as Agent of Collateral Agent. The Custodian agrees that,
with respect to any Required Loan Documents at any time or times in its
possession or held in its name, the Custodian shall be the agent and custodian
of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of
perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s
security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such
security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC. For so

Agent hereunder. [Signature pages to follow.] -165- USActive 55348338.2
