THE FACILITY 
 SECTION 2.01 Revolving Note
and Advances. 
 (a) Revolving Note. The Borrower has heretofore delivered or shall, on the date hereof (and on the terms and
subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth), deliver, to each Lender Agent so requesting, at the address set forth in Section 12.02 of this Agreement, and on the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, to each additional Lender
Agent, at the address set forth in the applicable Joinder Supplement, a duly executed Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”) to the extent requested by such Lender Agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit H, in an aggregate
face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group’s Group Advance Limit as of the Closing Date or the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, as applicable, and otherwise duly completed. Interest shall accrue on the Revolving Note, and the
Revolving Note shall be payable, as described herein. 
 (b) Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Borrower may at its option, by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent, from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date until the end of the Revolving Period (but in no event more than 2 times
per calendar week), request that the Lenders make Advances to it in an amount which after giving effect to such Advances, would not cause the aggregate Advances Outstanding to exceed the Maximum Availability on such date; provided that with
respect to an Advance proposed to be funded in connection with the addition of a Loan Asset to the Collateral Portfolio, such Advance resulted in, or results in, Collateral Quality Improvement, determined as of the CQI Advance Determination Date.
Such Advances shall be used for the purposes contemplated in Section 5.02(h) hereof. Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing, the Lender Agent for each Lender Group containing one or more Conduit Lenders shall notify the Conduit Lenders
in its Lender Group of the requested Advance, and such Conduit Lenders may, in their sole discretion, agree or decline to make the Advance. If any Conduit Lender declines to make all or any part of a proposed Advance, the Lender Agent for such
Conduit Lender shall so notify the Liquidity Banks in its Lender Group and the applicable portion of the Advance shall be made by such Liquidity Banks in accordance with their ratable shares of the Group Advance Limit for their Lender Group. Under
no circumstances shall any Conduit Lender make any Advance or shall any Liquidity Bank or any Institutional Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral Portfolio of the Eligible
Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) the
aggregate Advances Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Availability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) no Liquidity Bank shall be obligated to make any
Advance in an amount that would, after giving effect to such Advance, exceed such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment less the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of any Advances funded by such Liquidity Bank under such Liquidity
Bank’s Liquidity Agreement plus (y) such Liquidity Bank’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding Advances made by the Conduit Lenders in such Liquidity Bank’s Lender Group (whether or not any portion thereof has been assigned
under a Liquidity Agreement), (B) no Institutional Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance in an amount that would, after giving effect to such Advance, exceed such Institutional Lender’s


  
 54 








 
Commitment less the aggregate outstanding amount of any Advances funded by such Institutional Lender, (C) no Conduit Lender shall make any Advance in an amount that would, after giving
effect to such Advance, result in the aggregate Advances then funded by all of the Conduit Lenders in a Lender Group exceeding the Group Advance Limit for such Lender Group then in effect and (D) no Conduit Lender shall make any Advance and no
Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender shall be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate amount of Advances Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Availability. Each Advance to be made hereunder shall be made
ratably among the Lender Groups in accordance with their Group Advance Limits. 
 (c) Notations on Revolving Note. Each Lender Agent
is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Revolving Note with respect to each Lender in such Lender Agent’s Lender Group a notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to each Advance under the Revolving Note made
by the applicable Lender of: (i) the date and principal amount thereof, and (ii) each repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation, absent manifest error, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information
so recorded. The failure of any Lender Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to any Revolving Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with their respective terms
as set forth herein. 
 SECTION 2.02 Procedure for Advances. 

(a) On any Business Day during the Revolving Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances, subject to and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof. 
 (b) Each
Advance shall be made upon delivery of an irrevocable request for an Advance from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian, no
later than 23:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed date of such Advance (which shall be a Business Day) or, with respect to an Advance related to a Qualifying Revolving Loan, and no more than 5
times per calendar month, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such Advance (which shall be a Business Day), or such shorter notice period as may be agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in the form of a
Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof),
and shall specify: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of such Advance, which amount shall not cause the Advances Outstanding to
exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $500,000; 
 (ii) the
proposed date of such Advance and, if such Advance is to be a Fixed LIBOR Advance, the related Fixed Period (it being understood that if notice of such Advance is not provided at least two Business Days prior to the proposed Cut-Off Date, then such
Advance shall be a Daily LIBOR Advance for two Business Days following which the Advance shall convert to a Fixed LIBOR Advance); 

(iii) with respect to an Advance proposed to be funded in connection with the Pledge of a Loan Asset, a written certification
of the Servicer demonstrating that such Advance resulted in, or results in, Collateral Quality Improvement, determined as of the CQI Advance Determination Date; and 

  
 55 








 (iv) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in
Article III hereof have been satisfied. 
 No later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of each Advance that was requested at least one Business Day prior,
and no later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of each Advance that was requested on the same Business Day as such Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Conduit Lender may, or the related Liquidity
Banks, as applicable, and the Institutional Lenders shall, in accordance with instructions received by the Lender Agent for such Lenders from the Borrower, make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s
ratable share of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing. 
 (c) The Advances shall bear
interest at the Yield Rate. 
 (d) Subject to Section 2.18 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth
herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period. 

(e) A determination by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Agent of the existence of any Eurodollar Disruption Event (any such
determination to be communicated to the Borrower by written notice from the Administrative Agent or such Lender Agent promptly after the Administrative Agent or such Lender Agent learns of such event), or of the effect of any Eurodollar Disruption
Event on its making or maintaining Advances at LIBOR, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (f) The obligation of each Liquidity
Bank and Institutional Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that of each other Liquidity Bank and Institutional Lender and the failure of any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender to so make such amount available
to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender of its obligation hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.03 Determination of
Yield; Conversions of Advances; Limitations on Fixed LIBOR Advances. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent (and the Lender Agents with respect
to the Conduit Lenders in their respective Lender Groups) shall determine the Yield for the Advances (including unpaid Yield 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 Remittance Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof no later than the Business Day prior to the Reporting Date. 
 (b) The
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Fixed LIBOR Advances to Daily LIBOR Advances by giving the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator and Lender Agents prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m. on the
Business Day two Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of Fixed LIBOR Advances may only be made on the last day of a Fixed Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time
to convert Daily LIBOR Advances to Fixed LIBOR Advances by giving the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date
(which notice shall specify the length of the initial Fixed Period therefor); provided that no Daily LIBOR Advances may be converted into Fixed LIBOR Advances after the earliest to occur of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default
or the Final Maturity Date. 

  
 56 








 (c) Any Fixed LIBOR Advance may be continued in whole or in part (including by combining with
other Fixed LIBOR Advances that have Fixed Periods expiring on the same date or with Daily LIBOR Advances) upon the expiration of the then current Fixed Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving prior irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent and Lender Agents not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Fixed Period setting forth the length of the next Fixed Period to be applicable to such Fixed LIBOR
Advance; provided that no Fixed LIBOR Advance may be continued after the earliest to occur of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date; provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to
give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Advance shall be automatically converted to a Daily LIBOR Advance on the last day of such then expiring
Fixed Period. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Fixed
LIBOR Advances and all selections of Fixed Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of Fixed LIBOR Advances allocated to each Fixed Period
shall be equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Fixed Periods shall be outstanding at any one time.

satisfy the foregoing requirements; or 
 (ii) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, substitute for such Warranty Loan Asset a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset;

(x) the Servicer shall not be required to take the actions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above until the relevant Cure Date therefor, and (y) if, prior to such Cure Date the Servicer and the Borrower each certifies to the
Administrative Agent that all breaches of representations or warranties that resulted in the occurrence of a Warranty Event have been cured in full, then such Loan Asset shall no longer be considered a “Warranty Loan Asset” hereunder;
provided, that until such time, such Loan Asset shall not constitute an Eligible Loan Asset. 
 (f) Release of Lien. Upon
confirmation by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of:

 66 








 
Loan Asset Dividend) for an acquisition price in cash equal to the greater of (x) the Outstanding Loan Balance, and (y) the fair market value, of such Loan Asset,

nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment); provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any
distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All 

  
 67 








 
computations of interest and all computations of Yield and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding
the last day) elapsed, other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. 

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. 

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents pursuant to
Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof as
determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender related
thereto (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof as determined in a final
decision by a court of competent jurisdiction), including, without limitation, any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses but excluding lost profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence,
such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender (either directly or through the applicable Lender Agent), an undrawn fee (the “Undrawn Fee”) payable in arrears for each Remittance Period, equal to the sum of the products
for each day during such Remittance Period of (i) one divided by 360, (ii) the applicable Undrawn Fee Rate on such day, and (iii) the Undrawn Fee Calculation Basis on such day minus the Advances Outstanding on such day (the amount set
forth in this clause (iii), the “Unused Portion”). 
 SECTION 2.10 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change that becomes effective following the date hereof (including, without
limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the date hereof of any Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law or regulation
resulting in any interest payments paid to any Lender under this Agreement being subject to any Tax, except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), in each case whether foreign or domestic, including under Basel III (including, without
limitation, in connection with the calculation of the “liquidity coverage ratio” thereunder) or Dodd-Frank, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request following the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including under Basel III (including, without limitation, in connection with the calculation of the “liquidity coverage ratio” thereunder) or Dodd-Frank, there shall be any increase in
the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank or any Affiliate, participant, successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining any 

  
 68 








 
Advance (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Party hereunder), as the case may be, or there shall be any
reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, under any other Transaction Document or any Liquidity Agreement, the Borrower shall, from time to time, after written demand by the Administrative
Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf of such Affected Party, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient
to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs or reduced payments within 10 days after such demand; provided that the amounts payable under this Section 2.10 shall be without duplication of amounts payable under
Section 2.11 and shall not include any Excluded Taxes. 
 (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change that becomes
effective following the date hereof in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the date hereof of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the date hereof, from any central bank, any Governmental Authority or agency, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy, including under Basel III (including, without limitation, in connection with the calculation of the “liquidity coverage ratio” thereunder) or Dodd-Frank, 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 any related document or arising in connection herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, from time to time, after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall
be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and certifying that such demand is being made as a general policy of such Affected Party in the majority of similar transactions in which such claim had or
would have an impact on such Affected Party’s rate of return, capital requirements or other economic loss), the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party such additional amounts as will compensate such
Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in cost or reduction in Yield with respect to any Affected Party caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to FAS 166, 167 and subsequent statements and
interpretations shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.10. 

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this
Section 2.10, (i) 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 within ten days after 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, or (ii) the Administrative Agent (whether in its own judgment or, if Citibank is no longer serving as Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders) deems it necessary or appropriate to obtain a
credit rating on the Revolving Notes, the Borrower shall (x) provide (as promptly as possible and in any event no later than 60 days following receipt by the Borrower of such reasonable request) at least one Rating Agency designated by the
Administrative Agent with all information and documents reasonably requested by such Rating Agency (to the extent such information or documents are in the possession of or reasonably available to the Borrower) and otherwise cooperate with such
Rating Agency’s review of the Transaction Documents and transactions contemplated hereby, and (y) pay the costs and expenses of such Rating Agency in respect of the rating of the Revolving Notes. 

  
 69 








 (d) For avoidance of doubt, in connection with the interpretation of clause (a) and
(b) of this Section 2.10, any regulatory changes, rules, guidelines or directives under or issued in connection with Basel III (including, without limitation, in connection with the calculation of the “liquidity coverage
ratio” thereunder) or Dodd-Frank will be considered as a “change” hereunder, and will not be treated as having been adopted or having come into effect before the date hereof. 

(e) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.10, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of
such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (f) Failure or delay on the part of any
Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation. 

SECTION 2.11 Taxes. 
 (a) All
payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan Asset and all payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that
every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been
made. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer under this Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to Excluded Taxes, and no Borrower or Servicer shall have an
obligation to indemnify any Lender for Excluded Taxes. 
 (b) The Borrower will indemnify from funds available to it pursuant to
Section 2.04 (and to the extent the funds available for indemnification provided by the Borrower are insufficient the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, will indemnify) each Indemnified Party for the full amount of Taxes payable by
such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date a
written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower. 
 (c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the
Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment
thereof. 
 (d) Each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Servicer two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits
of an applicable tax treaty), W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming 

  
 70 








 
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of
Exhibit R to the effect that such Lender is eligible for an exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in every case
with any required attachments and properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender (including
any assignee thereof) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Servicer two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise
establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon receiving notice of the
obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Servicer at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered
certificate to the Borrower or the Servicer (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form
pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Servicer, at
the time or times prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicer, such properly completed and executed documentation or information prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate (or otherwise permit the Borrower and the Servicer to determine the applicable rate of withholding), provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in
such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 

(f) If any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it was indemnified by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11 or with respect to which the Borrower or the Servicer has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11 or Section 2.10, it shall pay to the Borrower or the Servicer, as
applicable, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or the Servicer under this Section 2.11 or Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes or
Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including additional Taxes, if any) of such Lender, as the case may be, incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) 
 (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the Borrower and the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 2.12 Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) the Contribution Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), the Loan Agreements related to
each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan 

  
 71 








 
Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under Article IX of the Contribution Agreement. The
Borrower confirms that until the Collection Date the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Contribution
Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall
terminate upon the Collection Date. 
 SECTION 2.13 Grant of a Security Interest. To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in
full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document,
whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Borrower hereby (a) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and (b) grants a
security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral Portfolio, whether now existing or
hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Portfolio shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or grant a security
interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral Portfolio 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, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral Portfolio shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or
obligations under the Collateral Portfolio, and (c) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor its successors and assigns), any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or
liability under the Collateral Portfolio by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor its successors and assigns), any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party be obligated to
perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. 

SECTION 2.14 Evidence of Debt. The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, at its address
referred to in Section 12.02 a copy of each assignment and acceptance agreement and participation agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Lender Agent shall treat each person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. If a Lender sells a participation, the Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a 

  
 72 








 
participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Administrative Agent 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. 

SECTION 2.15 Survival of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 are made and are true and correct on the date of this Agreement and on each Cut-Off Date unless such representations and warranties are made as of a specific date. 

SECTION 2.16 Release of Loan Assets. 

(a) The Borrower may obtain the release of (i) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) removed from the
Collateral Portfolio pursuant to a Loan Asset Dividend or an URC Loan Asset Dividend or sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07 and any Portfolio Assets pertaining to such Loan Asset and
(ii) any Loan Asset or any other asset in the Collateral Portfolio that expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account. The Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, shall at the sole expense of the Borrower and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, give notice
of such release to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit M) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such
release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to
the Borrower. 
 (b) Promptly after the Collection Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent (and to the extent that the Borrower identifies
Liens held by such Persons, any Lender, Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent), at the direction of the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower, for no consideration but at the sole expense of the Borrower, its remaining interests in
the Portfolio Assets, free and clear of any Lien resulting solely from an act by the Collateral Agent (and to the extent that the Borrower identifies Liens held by such Persons, any Lender, Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent), but without any
other representation or warranty, express or implied, by or recourse against the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2.17 Treatment of Amounts Deposited by the Borrower. Amounts deposited by the Borrower in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder. 

SECTION 2.18 Mandatory and Voluntary Prepayments; Termination. 

(a) On each of the 4th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Payment Dates following the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date and on the
Scheduled Maturity Date, the Borrower shall reduce the Advances Outstanding by depositing in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Amortization Principal Reduction Amount applicable to each such Payment Date. 

  
 73 








 (b) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, (including,
without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.06, with respect to any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency), Advances may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any
time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender Agents at least three Business Days prior to such reduction. Upon any prepayment, the
Borrower shall also pay in full any Breakage Fees (solely to the extent such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date) and other accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders related to
such prepayment; provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion
and (ii) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.18(b) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) shall be irrevocable. 

(c) The Borrower may, at its option, permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments hereunder upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents, subject to the payment of any Borrowing Base Deficiency resulting from such permanent reduction, together with accrued and unpaid Yield and Breakage Fees (if any) relating thereto,
all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders, pro rata to each Lender Agent (for the account of the applicable Lender); provided, in no event shall the Borrower have the right
under this Section 2.18(c) to permanently reduce Aggregate Commitments below $87,500,000 without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders. Upon the effectuation of any reduction in Aggregate Commitments in accordance with this
Section 2.18(c), the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender Agent a revised Annex A indicating the pro rata reduction of each Liquidity Bank’s and Institutional Lender’s Commitment effectuated under
this Section 2.18(c) (unless a non-pro rata allocation is otherwise agreed to in writing by any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender in its sole discretion). 

(d) The Borrower may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon 15 Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents and upon payment in full of all outstanding Advances; all accrued and unpaid Yield; any Breakage Fees; all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents
and Lenders and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations). Any termination of this Agreement shall be subject to Section 12.05. 

SECTION 2.19 Collections and Allocations. 

(a) The Servicer shall direct any agent or administrative agent for any Loan Asset to remit all cash Collections with respect to such Loan
Asset, and, if applicable, to direct the Obligor with respect to such Loan Asset to remit all cash Collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the Collection Account and all other Collections as directed by the Collateral Agent. The
Borrower and the Servicer shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that only funds constituting cash Collections relating to Loan Assets shall be deposited into the Collection Account 

(b) The Servicer shall promptly identify any Collections received as being on account of Interest Collections, Principal Collections or other
Available Collections and shall transfer, or cause to be 

  
 74 








 
transferred, all Available Collections received directly by it to the Collection Account by the close of business two Business Days after such Collections are received. Upon the transfer of
Available Collections to the Collection Account, the Servicer shall segregate Principal Collections and Interest Collections and direct the Account Bank to transfer the same to the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection
Subaccount, respectively. The Servicer shall further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection Subaccount on each Reporting
Date in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b). 
 (c) On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset,
the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral Portfolio on such date. 

(d) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent and
the Account Bank), (i) prior to any Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts, or (ii) from and after any Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer
may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Servicer any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts, in each case, if the Servicer has, prior to such
withdrawal and consent or request and consent, as applicable, delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent. 
 (e) Prior to any Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written
instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent (and the Collateral Agent shall direct the Account Bank) to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Collection Account in Permitted
Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall not be invested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in the Collection Account shall mature not later than
the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity, unless the Servicer determines in its good faith commercial judgment that there is substantial risk of material deterioration of
such Permitted Investment. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and otherwise comply with assumptions of the legal opinions
of Latham & Watkins LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., each dated the Closing Date and delivered in connection with this Agreement; provided that compliance shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and the Servicer
and not the Collateral Agent and Account Bank. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in the Collection Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II
hereof. In the event the Borrower or Servicer direct the funds to be invested in investments which are not Permitted Investments, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held
therein), as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, immediately upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any
Lender Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in the Collection Account, other than with respect to fraud or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank or any of their respective Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the
Permitted Investments. 

  
 75 








 (f) Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of
direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in the Collection Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04, this Section 2.19, and Section 2.20. 

SECTION 2.20 Reinvestment of Principal Collections. 

On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Agents, prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount: 

(a) withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Pledged hereunder; provided that the
following conditions are satisfied: 
 (i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.04 have been
satisfied; 
 (ii) no Servicer Termination Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from
such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment; 

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall continue
to be correct in all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date; 
 (iv) the Servicer provides same
day written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by facsimile or email (to be received no later than 1:00 p.m. on such day) of the request to withdraw Principal Collections and the amount of such request; 

(v) the notice required in clause (iv) above shall be accompanied by a Disbursement Request and a Borrowing Base
Certificate, each executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; and 
 (vi) the Collateral Agent
provides to the Administrative Agent by facsimile (to be received no later than 1:30 p.m. on that same day) a statement reflecting the total amount on deposit as of the opening of business on such day in the Principal Collection Subaccount; or 

(b) withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject
to the terms of Section 2.18. 
 Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.20
(as certified by the Borrower to the Account Bank, Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall direct the Account Bank to release funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount to the Servicer, and the Account Bank
shall release such funds as directed, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Servicer and (B) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day. 

  
 76 








 SECTION 2.21 Extension of Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower may, within 60 days but
not less than 45 days prior to the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, make a request to extend the date set forth in the definition of “Scheduled Commitment Termination Date” for an additional period of one year. The Scheduled
Commitment Termination Date may be extended by one year by mutual agreement among the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and each of the other parties hereto and in conformance with Section 12.01(b) (such
extension, the “Initial Extension”). Following such Initial Extension, the Borrower may, within 60 days but not less than 45 days prior to the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (as revised by the Initial Extension), make a
request to extend the date set forth in the definition of “Scheduled Commitment Termination Date” (as revised by the Initial Extension) for an additional period of one year. The Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (as revised by the
Initial Extension) may be extended by one year upon the mutual agreement among the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and each of the other parties hereto and in conformance with Section 12.01(b) (such
extension, the “Second Extension”). The effectiveness of either the Initial Extension or the Second Extension shall be conditioned upon the payment in immediately available funds of an additional fee to be agreed among the
Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and each of the other parties hereto. The Borrower confirms that each other party hereto, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Loan
Assets or any other factor, may elect not to extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. 
 In connection with the Initial Extension
or the Second Extension, unless the parties expressly indicate to the contrary, the Scheduled Maturity Date shall be automatically extended by the same extension period, in conformance with Section 12.01(b). 

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. If any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the provisions of this
Section 2.22 will apply to the applicable Defaulting Lender Group until the Default Period has ended, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: 

(a) Each such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders, Required Lenders and Section 12.01. 
 (b) Until such time as
the Default Excess of any such Defaulting Lender Group has been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the aggregate Advances outstanding will be applied to the Advances of the Non-Defaulting Lender Groups in accordance with Section 2.04(a)
and (b) in accordance with the Adjusted Pro Rata Shares. 
 (c) The amount of each such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and
Advances will be excluded for purposes of calculating the Undrawn Fee, and each such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee in connection with such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment for any Default Period relating to
such Defaulting Lender. 
 (d) All or any part of each such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Advances will be reallocated among the
Non-Defaulting Lender Groups in accordance with their respective Adjusted Pro Rata Shares, but only to the extent that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of
such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower has otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower will be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (ii) such reallocation
does not cause the aggregate Advances of any 

  
 77 








 
Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No such reallocation will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party under this Agreement against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender’s having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (e) If each of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Borrower
agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that resulted in it becoming a Defaulting Lender, then the Advances of the Lender Groups will be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and
on such date such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par so much of the Advances of the other Lender Groups or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary to cause the aggregate Advances outstanding to be held by
the Lender Groups in accordance with their respective Commitments and Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.22(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that notwithstanding
Section 2.18(b), the Borrower shall not be liable for any Breakage Fees that may be incurred in connection with such readjustment of Advances. 

(f) No amount of the Commitment of any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender will be increased or otherwise affected by, and, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of, any Funding Default or
the operation of this Section 2.22. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with
respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender, Lender Agent or Lender Group may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

period set forth in such provisions); provided that any such Loan Asset will not be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base during such grace period.

except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding

(d) The Servicer shall establish and maintain an internal valuation protocol as set forth in the template attached hereto as

 SECTION 6.03 Authorization of the Servicer. 

(a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor
thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Servicer and not 

  
 121 








 
inconsistent with the contribution of the Collateral Portfolio by the Transferor to the Borrower under the Contribution Agreement and, thereafter, the Pledge by the Borrower to the Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral Portfolio, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Interest Collections and
Principal 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 Portfolio and, after the
delinquency of any Collateral Portfolio and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Transferor could have done if it had
continued to own such Collateral Portfolio. The Transferor, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio. In no event shall the
Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Lender 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 routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s, the Backup Servicer’s and each Lender Agent’s consent. 

(b) After the declaration of the Final Maturity Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral Portfolio; provided that the Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with
respect to any Collateral Portfolio of the assignment of such Collateral Portfolio 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 Administrative Agent or
any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral Portfolio, and adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof. 
 SECTION 6.04 Collection of Payments; Accounts. 

(a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral Portfolio. The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to collect or cause to
be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral Portfolio as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard. The
Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral Portfolio in a manner that would impair the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio or in any manner contrary to the Servicing Standard. 

(b) Acceleration. If consistent with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall accelerate or vote
to accelerate, as applicable, the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Loan Asset promptly after such Loan Asset becomes defaulted. 

(c) Taxes and other Amounts. The Servicer will use its best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan Asset to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application under the applicable Loan Agreement and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as
required by the Loan Agreements. 

  
 122 








 (d) Payments to Collection Account. On or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the Servicer
shall have instructed all Obligors to make all payments in respect of the Collateral Portfolio directly to the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer is not required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor or other
surety (or an Obligor that is not designated as the “lead borrower” or another such similar term) unless and until the Servicer calls on the related guaranty or secondary obligation. 

(e) Collection Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the Collection Account is intended to be a
“securities account” within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Collection Account Agreement, prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Borrower (or the Servicer)
shall be entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset held in the Collection Account and have the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account; provided that after the delivery of a Notice of
Exclusive Control, such rights shall be exclusively held by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Account Bank (or other securities intermediary) that holds
any money or other property for the Borrower in the Collection Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the Collection Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC, the cash and other property credited
thereto is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the UCC, (B) regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Collection Account, New York shall be deemed to be the Account
Bank’s (or other securities intermediary’s) jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC), and (C) it shall comply with all entitlement orders and all directions to dispose of funds in the Collection Account in
each case without further consent of the Borrower. To the extent that the Collection Account is re-characterized as a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), New York shall be deemed to be the
“bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304(b) of the UCC), the Account Bank shall be the “bank” and the Collateral Agent shall be the bank’s “customer” (within the meaning of
Section 9-104 of the UCC). All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Collection Account in the form of securities or instruments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or if in the name of the
Borrower or the Collateral Agent, Indorsed to the Account Bank, Indorsed in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Account Bank, and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the Collection Account be
registered in the name of the Borrower, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially Indorsed to the Borrower, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially Indorsed to the Account Bank or Indorsed in blank. 

(f) Loan Agreements. 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, the Account Bank, the Collateral 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 to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a 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 Loan Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any
necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


  
 123 








 (g) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in
respect of an Interest Collection or Principal Collection of a Loan Asset and such Interest Collection or Principal Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a
mistake with respect to the amount of any Interest Collection or Principal Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Interest Collection or Principal Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately
adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. 

SECTION 6.05 Realization Upon Loan Assets. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Risk and Collection Policies and the
Servicing Standard to foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Underlying Collateral relating to a defaulted Loan Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments, and may, consistent with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard and exercising its reasonably good faith judgment to maximize value, hold for value, sell or transfer any equity or other securities the
Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall have received in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization with respect to a Loan Asset. The Servicer will comply with the Risk and Collection Policies and
the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts consistent with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard to enforce all
obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Underlying Collateral 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 Servicer may cause the sale of any such Underlying Collateral to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair value
thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan Asset, the Underlying Collateral, the sale price of the Underlying Collateral and
certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Underlying Collateral. In any case in which any such Underlying Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will have no obligation to expend funds in connection with any repair or toward
the foreclosure or repossession of such Underlying Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such repair or foreclosure or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit
to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Underlying Collateral relating to a defaulted Loan Asset. 

SECTION 6.06 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be
entitled to be paid the Servicing Fees and reimbursed its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Section 2.04; provided, that the Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Subordinate Servicing Fees not paid under
Section 2.04 on any Payment Date shall accrue and shall not constitute a default or basis to terminate the Servicer duties under this Article VI.

activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of its independent accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the

Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The Servicer may be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred hereunder (including out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.04; provided that, to the extent funds are not so available on any
Payment Date to reimburse such expenses incurred during the immediately ended Remittance Period, such reimbursement amount shall be deferred and payable on the next Payment Date on which funds are available therefor pursuant to
Section 2.04.

 133 








 
hereunder, the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, (or any designee thereof, including,
without limitation, the Servicer), following an Event of Default, shall, at its option, have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under any such Assigned Document. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Yield Rate shall be increased pursuant
to the increase set forth in the definition of “Applicable Spread”, effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall apply after the occurrence of such Event of Default; or  

(t) the breach or violation by the Borrower of any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in set forth in
Section 4.01(kk), 5.01(x)(iii) or 5.02(q). 
 SECTION 8.02 Additional Remedies of the Administrative Agent. 

(a) If, (i) upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Majority Lenders’ declaration that the Advances made to the Borrower
hereunder are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) on the Final Maturity Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances, all accrued and unpaid
Fees and Yield and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent (acting as directed by the Majority Lenders), in addition to all other
rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders and Administrative Agent, to immediately sell (at the Servicer’s expense) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists)
at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral Portfolio and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations. 

(b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral Portfolio on a particular Business Day, or in a
transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of
liquidating any of the Collateral Portfolio, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral Portfolio on the date the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders declare the Advances made to
the Borrower hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral Portfolio in the same manner or on the same Business Day. 

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral
Portfolio or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative
Agent, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Servicer is required by law or contract to be kept confidential, to the extent such information can be provided without violation of laws or contracts,
including through entering into any confidentiality agreements in forms acceptable to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to the extent required to prevent violation of such laws or contracts) relating to the Collateral
Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and
(ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable non-confidential information relating to the 

  
 134 








 
Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any
other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder. 
 (d) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it
may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any
Collateral Portfolio may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into
possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to
do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or
any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral Portfolio as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such
court may determine. 
 (e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral Portfolio pursuant to this
Section 8.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct. 
 (f) The Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies
provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the
right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower. 

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

(h) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative 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 after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default provided for in
this Agreement, 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 Portfolio in connection
with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower
and the Servicer 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 or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by 

  
 135 








 
executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any power of attorney furnished hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any power of attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred. 

(i) (1) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent elects to sell the Collateral
Portfolio in whole, but not in part, at a public or private sale, the Borrower may exercise its right of first refusal to repurchase the Collateral Portfolio, in whole but not in part, prior to such sale at a purchase price that is not less than the
amount of the Obligations as of the date of such proposed sale. The Borrower’s right of first refusal shall terminate at 4:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice of the Collateral
Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s election to sell such Collateral Portfolio, such notice to attach copies of all Eligible Bids received by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in respect of such Collateral Portfolio. 

(2) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent elects to sell less
than all of the Collateral Portfolio in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, the Borrower may exercise its right of first refusal to repurchase such portion of the Collateral Portfolio prior to such sale at a purchase price of not less
than the highest Eligible Bid received in respect of such portion of the Collateral Portfolio as of the date of such proposed sale, as notified by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower. The Borrower’s right of first
refusal shall terminate not later than 4:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice of the Collateral Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s election to sell such portion of the Collateral Portfolio, if such notice is
delivered by 12:00 p.m. on such Business Day; provided that if such notice is delivered after 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives such notice, or if the highest Eligible Bid received in respect of such portion of the
Collateral Portfolio is greater than $25,000,000, the Borrower’s right of first refusal shall terminate not later than 12:00 p.m. on the following Business Day. 

(3) If the Borrower elects not to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in clauses (1) or
(2) above, the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent shall sell such Collateral Portfolio or portion thereof for a purchase price equal to the highest of the Eligible Bids then
received. For the avoidance of doubt, any determination of the highest Eligible Bid shall only consider bids for the same parcels of the Collateral Portfolio. 

(4) It is understood that the Borrower may submit its bid for the Collateral Portfolio or any portion thereof as a combined bid
with the bids of other members of a group of bidders, and shall have the right to find bidders to bid on the Collateral Portfolio or any portion thereof. 

(5) It is understood that the Borrower’s right of first refusal shall apply to each proposed sale of the same parcel of
the Collateral Portfolio. 
 SECTION 8.03 Volcker Extension. 

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing pursuant to Section 8.01(m) (any such event, a “Volcker
Event”), then, notwithstanding Section 8.02, the Administrative Agent may declare the Final Maturity Date to have occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 (which 

  
 136 








 
declaration shall be effective) but shall not, prior to the close of business (New York time) on the 30th day following the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have delivered
notice to Borrower of the occurrence of such Volcker Event (such time, the “Volcker Extension Deadline”), exercise any of the other remedies set forth in Section 8.02, if and for so long as: 

(i) no Event of Default, other than the Volcker Event, shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(ii) the Borrower and its Affiliates shall be actively engaged in soliciting or making arrangements to cause the
repayment in full of the Obligations (whether by refinancing or otherwise); and 
 (iii) on or prior to the
fifth Business Day following the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have delivered notice to Borrower of the Event of Default relating to the Volcker Event, the Servicer shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate certifying that
the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) have been satisfied. 
 (b) Section 8.03(a)
shall apply only to a Volcker Event and shall not be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent in respect of any other Event of Default. 

(c) If any of the Obligations shall, upon the occurrence of the Volcker Extension Deadline, remain outstanding, then the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to exercise immediately, and without further notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any and all of the remedies set forth in Section 8.02 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

subsequent time; 
 (vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) to the

(vii) any failure of the Borrower or the Servicer (if NF or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer) to perform its duties or

 (b) Any amounts subject to the
indemnification provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within five Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of the Administrative
Agent’s written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to 

  
 139 








 
the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for
indemnification under this Section 9.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested,
which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. 
 (c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this
Section 9.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities 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 9.01(a). 
 (d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower in an amount
equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest. 
 (e) The obligations of the
Borrower under this Section 9.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral
Administrator or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.02 Indemnities by Servicer.

indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts, awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party as a consequence of any of the following, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party claiming indemnification hereunder as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction:

(vi) the commingling by the Servicer of Collections required to be remitted to the Collection Account with other funds; 

(vii) any failure of the Servicer or any of its agents or representatives (including, without limitation, agents,

or covenants set forth in Article IV, Article V or Article VI of this Agreement. 
 (b) Any amounts subject to the
indemnification provisions of this Section 9.02 shall be paid by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within five Business Days following receipt by the Servicer of the Administrative
Agent’s written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 9.02, shall submit to the Servicer a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of
the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. 

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.02 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is
insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 9.02(a). 

  
 141 








 (d) If the Servicer has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative
Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer in an
amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest. 
 (e) The Servicer shall
have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets. 

(f) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 9.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement. 

(g) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral Portfolio. 

Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, within
a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts. 

SECTION 9.03 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative
proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in
writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying
Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of
Section 9.01, the first sentence of Section 9.02 or Section 9.02(d), as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done
so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not
conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided,
further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for
the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party.
If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as


  
 142 








 
reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action
without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action. 
 SECTION 9.04 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under
Section 9.01 and 9.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the
effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party. 

ARTICLE X. 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND THE LENDER AGENTS 
 SECTION 10.01 The Administrative Agent. 

(a) Appointment. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder
and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender Agent and each Secured Party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party 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 Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Lender Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be
read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care. 

(c) 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 as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Lender, Lender Agent and each Secured 

  
 143 








 
Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), 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 in or in
connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of
the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer; (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. 
 (d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of any Lender Agent as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lender Agents and Lenders (other than the Conduit Lenders) against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lender Agent or Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
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 Agent or Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not
receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. 

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Lender Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer
referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or
“Notice of Servicer Termination Event,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination
Event as may be requested by any Lender Agent acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 144 








 (f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent and each
Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any
assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral Portfolio, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of
the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender Agent as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party 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 Agent and each Secured Party 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. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. 

(g) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and Lender Agent (other than the Conduit Lenders) agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), 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 Lender Agents and Lender 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 as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action
taken in accordance with the directions of any Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article X. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender (other than the
Conduit Lenders) agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, promptly upon demand for 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 Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents or Lenders hereunder or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses
by the Borrower or the Servicer. 
 (h) 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 days’ written notice thereof to each Lender Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lender Agents
and the Borrower acting jointly. Upon any such 

  
 145 








 
resignation or removal, the Lender Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent (which, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, shall not be a Competitor and
shall otherwise be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld with respect to a proposed successor that is not a Competitor). Each Lender Agent agrees 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 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving
of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, 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 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank, and (iii) so long as no Event of Default
is continuing, shall not be a Competitor. 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 or
removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X 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. 

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be allocated in accordance with their related Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such
amounts are received after 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender Agent on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such
Lender Agent not later than the following Business Day. 
 SECTION 10.02 The Lender Agents. 

(a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender, respectively, hereby designates and appoints its applicable Lender Agent to act as its agent
hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Lender Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary
relationship with its related Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist
for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for its related Lender and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s successors or assigns. No Lender Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Lender Agent to
personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of each Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations. Each
Lender Agent hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any UCC financing statement deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on such Lender Agent ). 

  
 146 








 (b) Delegation of Duties. Each Lender Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Lender Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 (c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Lender
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its,
their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) responsible in any manner to its related Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Servicer contained in Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection
herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or
sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No Lender Agent shall be under any obligation to its related Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer. No Lender Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
unless such Lender Agent has received notice from the Borrower or its related Lender. 
 (d) Reliance by Lender Agent. Each Lender
Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of its related Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its related Lenders
(other than the Conduit Lenders); provided that, unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, such Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Lender Agent shall deem advisable and in the best
interests of its related Lender. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon its related Lender. 
 (e) Non-Reliance on Lender Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
neither its related Lender Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Lender Agent hereafter taken, including, without
limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Lender Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to its related Lender Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon its 

  
 147 








 
related Lender Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects,
financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto. 

(f) The Lender Agents are in their Respective Individual Capacities. Each Lender Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent were not a Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender Agent shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender,” and “Lenders,” shall include the Lender Agent
in its individual capacity. 
 (g) Successor Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and its
related Lender, and such Lender Agent will, upon the direction of its related Lender resign as the Lender Agent for such Lender. If any Lender Agent shall resign, then its related Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent
that, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall not be a Competitor. If for any reason no successor agent is appointed by such Lender during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the
Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations due to such Lender directly to such Lender, and for all purposes shall deal directly with such Lender. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Lender Agent, the
provisions of Articles IX and X shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Lender Agent under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE XI. 
 COLLATERAL AGENT 

SECTION 11.01 Designation of Collateral Agent. 

(a) Initial Collateral Agent. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents hereby designate and appoint the
Collateral Agent to act as its agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral Portfolio and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and on behalf of each of the Secured Parties and to
exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Agent by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until
its resignation or removal as Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

Lenders hereby appoint Citibank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder, as their agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral Portfolio. Citibank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder, hereby accepts
such appointment and agrees to perform the duties set forth in Section 11.02(b). 

  
 148 








 SECTION 11.02 Duties of Collateral Agent. 

(a) Appointment. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents each hereby appoints Citibank to act as Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein. 

(b) Duties. On or before the initial Advance Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 11.05, the Collateral Agent
shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations: 
 (i) The Collateral Agent shall
calculate amounts to be remitted pursuant to Section 2.04 to the applicable parties and notify the Servicer and the Administrative Agent in the event of any discrepancy between the Collateral Agent’s calculations and the Servicing
Report (such dispute to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.05); 
 (ii) The Collateral Agent shall instruct
the Account Bank to make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Report or as otherwise directed in accordance with Sections 2.04 or 2.05 (the “Payment Duties”). 

(iii) The Collateral Agent shall provide to the Servicer a copy of all written notices and communications identified as being
sent to it in connection with the Loan Assets and the other Collateral Portfolio held hereunder which it receives from the related Obligor, participating bank or agent bank. In no instance shall the Collateral Agent be under any duty or obligation
to take any action on behalf of the Servicer in respect of the exercise of any voting or consent rights, or similar actions, unless it receives specific written instructions from the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the
Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of Event of Default, in which event the Collateral Agent shall vote, consent or take such other action in accordance with such instructions. 

(c) (i) The Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise
or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative
to all or any of the Loan Assets now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section 11.02(c) shall be deemed to
relieve the Borrower or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral Portfolio, including to file financing and continuation statements in
respect of the Collateral Portfolio in accordance with Section 5.01(t). 

  
 149 








 (ii) The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such
incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral 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 Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action
hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any
provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Agent
requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent
shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. 
 (iii) Except as expressly provided herein, the
Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement (x) unless and until (and to the extent) expressly so directed by
the Administrative Agent or (y) prior to the Final Maturity Date (and upon such occurrence, the Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (x)). The Collateral Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Agent, or the
Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has knowledge of such matter or written notice
thereof is received by the Collateral Agent. 
 (d) If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to
decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within two
Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two
Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent
accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice. 

(e) Concurrently herewith, the Administrative Agent directs the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into the
Collection Account Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections and immunities provided herein shall apply to the Collateral Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Collection
Account Agreement in such capacity. 

  
 150 








 SECTION 11.03 Merger or Consolidation. 

Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation
to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Agent substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. 

SECTION 11.04 Collateral Agent Compensation. 

(a) Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Agent activities hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the
Collateral Agent Fees and Collateral Agent Expenses from the Borrower, payable to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04. The Collateral Agent’s entitlement to receive the Collateral Agent
Fees shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11.05, (ii) its resignation as Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11.07 or (ii) the termination of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Negative Covenant Regarding Compensation. The Collateral Agent will not make any changes to the Collateral Agent
Fees without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 
 SECTION 11.05 Collateral Agent Removal. 

The Collateral Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral Agent (the
“Collateral Agent Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Agent Termination Notice, the Collateral Agent shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Agent (who,
so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall not be a Competitor) has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder; provided that the Collateral Agent shall continue to receive compensation of its fees and
expenses in accordance with Section 11.04 above while so serving as the Collateral Agent prior to a successor Collateral Agent being appointed. 

SECTION 11.06 Limitation on Liability. 

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

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

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or
for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties. 

  
 151 








 (d) The Collateral Agent makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility
(except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral Portfolio, and will not be required to and will not make any
representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral Portfolio. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any
expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. 
 (e) The Collateral Agent shall have no
duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities
shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the
Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. 

(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. 

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the
obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Portfolio. 
 (h) Subject in all cases to the last sentence of
Section 2.05, in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date, request instructions from the Servicer and may, after
the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Collateral Agent
be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action. 
 (i) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement and shall
not be required to monitor the performance of the Collateral Custodian. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to perform any of the duties of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement. 

  
 152 








 SECTION 11.07 Collateral Agent Resignation. 

The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 90 days written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and with the
consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and, so long as no Event of Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is then continuing, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld). Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall promptly appoint a successor collateral agent or collateral agents by written instrument, in
duplicate, executed by the Administrative Agent, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent so resigning and one copy to the successor collateral agent or collateral agents, together with a copy to the Borrower, Servicer and
Collateral Custodian. If no successor collateral agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within 45 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may not resign prior to a
successor Collateral Agent being appointed.

 or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and
communications by facsimile and e-mail shall be effective when sent, and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received. 

SECTION 12.03 No Waiver Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Lender Agent to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

  
 156 








 SECTION 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the
Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign (with the consent of the Administrative Agent,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, (i) this Agreement and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part (including by
way of the sale of participation interests therein) or (ii) any Advance (or portion thereof) or any Revolving Note (or any portion thereof) to any Eligible Assignee; provided that prior to an Event of Default (unless waived or
rescinded), consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required for (x) a Liquidity Bank to assign to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Liquidity Bank, a Conduit Lender in such Liquidity Bank’s Lender
Group or an Affiliate of a Liquidity Bank or (y) an Institutional Lender to assign to any Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliate of such Lender; provided, further, that, a Conduit Lender may at any time pledge or
grant a security interest or Lien in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure any obligations of such Conduit Lender, without notice to or consent of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person so long as such pledge or
grant of a security interest or Lien shall not release such Conduit Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or guarantee for such Conduit Lender as a party hereto. Any such assignee, that is not,
immediately prior thereto, a Lender hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the purchaser of a participation interest or the grantee of a security interest, but which shall include any such grantee of a security interest at
the time of completion, but not before, of any foreclosure on such security interest where such grantee seeks to become a Lender hereunder) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed
Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto (a “Transferee Letter”) and a fully-executed Joinder Supplement. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and
deliver to the related Lender Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender Agent. None of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer
may assign, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender Agent and the
Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Agreement, the Transferee Letter or Joinder Supplement shall restrict or delay a Conduit Lender’s ability to assign its interests hereunder to its Liquidity Bank or an Affiliate or to any other Conduit
Lender in its Lender Group or to grant a security interest in its interests hereunder to a Conduit Trustee. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement or
under a Liquidity Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or under such Liquidity Agreement, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto or to such Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be. 

  
 157 








 (c) If a Lender (i) is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) fails to give its consent to any
amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and the Majority Lenders consented (whether pursuant to Section 12.01 or otherwise), or (iii) requests that the Administrative Agent deliver a demand for
payment by the Borrower of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (b), then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Borrower may, by notice to the applicable Lender Agent within 120 days
after such event (with a copy of such notice concurrently delivered to the Administrative Agent), require such Lender Group to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees specified by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent within 20 days after the Borrower’s notice. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such assignment if any member of the affected Lender Group fails to
execute same. The affected Lender Agent on behalf of the Lender Group shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Transaction Documents, including all principal, interest and fees
through the date of assignment (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (b) the request for which resulted in the application of this Section 12.04(c)). 

(d) Upon the effectuation of any assignment by any Lender of all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents pursuant
to Section 12.04(a) or Section 12.04(c) and the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all assignment documentation and the Transferee Letter, the Administrative Agent shall revise Annex A to reflect such assignment.

 (e) Each Affected Party and each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth
in Articles IV and V and the Servicer’s representations, covenants and duties set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that the
rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article IX,
X and Article XII and the provisions of Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 12.07, Section 12.08 and Section 12.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of
this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.06 GOVERNING LAW; JURY WAIVER. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER. 
 SECTION 12.07
Costs, Expenses and Taxes. 
 (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted to the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the
Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and their respective Affiliates under Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 hereof, each of the
Borrower and the Servicer agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral
Administrator and 

  
 158 








 
the Collateral Custodian incurred in connection with the pre-closing due diligence, preparation, execution, delivery, administration (including due diligence and periodic auditing and inspections
incurred in connection with clauses (hh) and (ii) of Section 5.01 or following an Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event and all other related fees and expenses), syndication, renewal, amendment or modification
of, any waiver or consent issued in connection with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees,
disbursements and other charges of rating agency and accounting costs and fees, the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account
Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral
Administrator and the Collateral Custodian as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any
(including counsel fees and expenses), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian in connection with the
enforcement or potential enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Person and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. 

(b) The Borrower, the Servicer and the Transferor shall pay on demand any and all present and future stamp, sales, excise, property and other
similar Taxes and fees (“Other Taxes”) payable or determined to be payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement of, filing and recording of this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents or any other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder. 

(c) The Servicer and the Transferor shall pay on demand all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and Taxes (excluding
Taxes imposed on or measured by net income or Excluded Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Account
Bank, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders in connection with periodic audits of the Borrower’s, the Transferor’s or the Servicer’s books and
records. 
 (d) In addition, the Borrower shall pay (i) to the extent not included in the calculation of Yield, any and all commissions
of placement agents and dealers in respect of Commercial Paper Notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of Advances, and (ii) any and all costs and expenses of any issuing and paying agent or other Person responsible for the
administration of the Conduit Lenders’ Commercial Paper Notes program in connection with the preparation, completion, issuance, delivery or payment of Commercial Paper Notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of Advances. 

  
 159 








 SECTION 12.08 No Proceedings. Each of the parties hereto (by accepting the benefits of this
Agreement) hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any Bankruptcy Proceeding so long as any commercial paper or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit Lender
shall be outstanding and there shall not have elapsed one year and one day since the last day on which any such commercial paper or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding. 

SECTION 12.09 Recourse Against Certain Parties. 

(a) No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of any fees or any
other obligations) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party as contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender
Agents or any Secured Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or any incorporator, affiliate, stockholder, officer,
employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or of any such administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of each party hereto contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the corporate obligations of such party (and nothing in this Section 12.09 shall be construed
to diminish in any way such corporate obligations of such party), and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or any
incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lender Agents or of any such administrator, as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or
agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party contained in this Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or agreements, or are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of
every such administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party and each incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any
Secured Party or of any such administrator, or any of them, for breaches by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common
law or in equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth herein, no claim may be made by the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer or any other
Person against the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, the Lenders, or any Secured Party or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect
to any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower, the Transferor and

assumed by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be
paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes. All payment obligations of each Conduit Lender hereunder are contingent on the availability
of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its Commercial Paper Notes; and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment
obligation owed to it by a Conduit Lender exceeds the amount available to such Conduit Lender to pay such amount after paying or making provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 12.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12.10 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including Fee Letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any Fee Letter delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Agents. 
 SECTION 12.11 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. 

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York
City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State
court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The
parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees that service of process may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, at its address specified in Section 12.02 or at such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in accordance herewith. Nothing in this
Section 12.11 shall affect the right of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lender Agents to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. 

  
 161

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower as
contemplated by the Contribution Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances described in Section 5.01(bb) and
Section 5.02(j) hereof) as a contribution by the Transferor of such Eligible Loan Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such contribution be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the
Borrower to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loan Assets are held to continue to be property of the Transferor, then the parties hereto agree
that: (i) the Contribution Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in the Contribution Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loan Assets provided for in the Contribution Agreement
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Borrower of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Loan Assets and all amounts
payable to the holders of the Eligible Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without
limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Borrower (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of
Loan Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and
(iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Borrower for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties
further agree that any assignment of the interest of the Borrower pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The Borrower shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Contribution Agreement was deemed to create a security interest in the Eligible Loan Assets, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. 

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loan Assets conveyed by the Transferor to the Borrower pursuant to the
Contribution Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower and shall not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Transferor under any bankruptcy or similar law. 

(c) The Borrower agrees to treat, and the Borrower shall cause the Transferor to treat, for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and
subject to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances described in Section 5.01(bb) and Section 5.02(j) hereof), the transactions effected by the Contribution Agreement as contribution of assets to the
Borrower. The Borrower and the Servicer each hereby agrees to cause the Transferor to reflect in the Transferor’s financial records and to include a note in the publicly filed annual and quarterly financial statements of NF indicating that:
(i) assets related to transactions (including transactions pursuant to the Transaction Documents) that do not meet 

  
 162 








 
SFAS 140 requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of NF within the “investments” line and are disclosed in NF’ schedule of
investments, and (ii) those assets are owned by a special purpose entity that is consolidated in the financial statements of NF, and the creditors of that special purpose entity have received ownership or security interests in such assets and
such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of sellers (or any affiliate of the sellers) of such assets to that special purpose entity. 

SECTION 12.13 Confidentiality. 
 (a)

Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or

 (c)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii) disclosure of any and all information (a) if required
to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation Rule 17g-5), (b) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Lenders’, the

provided that the disclosing party advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed; or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Borrower, Servicer or the Transferor.

Designation of Collateral Custodian. 
 (a) Initial Collateral Custodian. The role of Collateral Custodian with respect to the

designate and appoint the Collateral Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral
Custodian by this Agreement. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms
hereof. 
 (b) Successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination
Notice from the Administrative Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.05, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian
hereunder. 
 SECTION 13.02 Duties of Collateral Custodian. 

(a) Appointment. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agent each hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

(i) The Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Required Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 3.02(a) and Section 3.04(b) hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured 

  
 166 








 
Parties. Within five Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents, the related Loan Asset Schedule and a hard copy of the Loan Asset Checklist, the Collateral Custodian shall
review the Required Loan Documents to confirm that (A) such Required Loan Documents have been executed (either an original or a copy, as indicated on the Loan Asset Checklist) and have no mutilated pages, (B) filed stamped copies of the
UCC and other filings (identified on the Loan Asset Checklist) are included, (C) if listed on the Loan Asset Checklist, a copy of an Insurance Policy with respect to any real or personal property constituting the Underlying Collateral is
included, and (D) the related original balance (based on a comparison to the note or assignment agreement, as applicable), Loan Asset number and Obligor name, as applicable, with respect to such Loan Asset is referenced on the related Loan
Asset Schedule (such items (A) through (D) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Required Loan Documents
hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Servicer shall provide to the Collateral Custodian a hard copy of the related Loan Asset Checklist which contains the Loan Asset information with respect to the Required Loan Documents being delivered,
identification number and the name of the Obligor with respect to such Loan Asset. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Required Loan Documents shall be limited to reviewing such
Required Loan Documents based on the information provided on the Loan Asset Checklist. If, at the conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian shall determine that (i) the original balance of the Loan Asset with respect to which it has
received Required Loan Documents is less than as set forth on the Loan Asset Schedule, the Collateral Custodian shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Servicer of such discrepancy within one Business Day, or (ii) any Review Criteria is
not satisfied, the Collateral Custodian shall within one Business Day notify the Servicer of such determination and provide the Servicer with a list of the non-complying Loan Assets and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The
Servicer shall have five Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. In addition, if requested in writing (in the form of Exhibit M) by the Servicer and approved by the
Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Loan Asset which fails to satisfy a Review Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the
Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Required Loan Documents. 
 (ii) In taking and
retaining custody of the Required Loan Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Secured Parties; provided that the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or
priority of any Lien on the Required Loan Documents or the instruments therein; and provided, further, that, the Collateral Custodian’s duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein. 

(iii) All Required Loan Documents shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the locations specified on the
address of the Collateral Custodian in Section 12.02, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice delivered at least 30 days prior to such
change. All Required Loan Documents shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. The Collateral Custodian shall segregate the Required Loan Documents on its
inventory system and will not commingle the physical Required Loan Documents with any other files of the Collateral Custodian other than those, if any, relating to NF and its Affiliates and subsidiaries; provided, however, the
Collateral Custodian shall segregate any commingled files upon written request of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

  
 167 








 (iv) On the 12th calendar day of every Month (or if such day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer (in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian) identifying each
Loan Asset for which it holds Required Loan Documents and the applicable Review Criteria that any Loan Asset fails to satisfy. 

(v) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Custodian shall not
have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise
exist against the Collateral Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion
hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. 
 (c) (i) The Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and deliver any Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent (pursuant to a written request in the form of Exhibit M), as applicable, as requested in order to take any
action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable 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 any rights arising with respect to Article VIII. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Agent, the Servicer or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent. 

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


  
 168 








 
or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the
Collateral Custodian has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian. 
 SECTION 13.03 Merger or
Consolidation. 
 Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from
any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an
agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. 

SECTION 13.04 Collateral Custodian Compensation. 

(a) Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the
Collateral Custodian Fees from the Borrower as set forth in the Backup Servicer, Account Bank, Collateral Custodian and Collateral Administrator Fee Letter, payable pursuant to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.04. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive the Collateral Custodian Fees shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.05, (ii) its
resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.07 of this Agreement or (iii) the termination of this Agreement.

The Collateral Custodian may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral
Custodian (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a
successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder. 
 SECTION 13.06 Limitation on
Liability. 
 (a) The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate,
instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on
and shall be fully protected in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions of the Administrative Agent. 

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

  
 169 








 (c) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done
or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission
of its duties. 
 (d) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral Portfolio, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to
the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral Portfolio. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or
liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. 
 (e) The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties
or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian. 

(f) The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. 

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the
obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Portfolio. 
 (h) Subject in all cases to the last sentence of
Section 13.02(c)(i), in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date, request instructions from the Servicer and
may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the
Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall
the Collateral Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action. 
 SECTION 13.07 Collateral Custodian Resignation. 

Collateral Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than 90 days after delivery to the
Administrative Agent of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier

 SECTION 13.08 Release of Documents. 

(a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Collateral Portfolio, the
Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent), upon written receipt from the Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
M, to release to the Servicer within two Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Required Loan Documents or the documents set forth in such request and receipt to the Servicer. All documents so released to the Servicer shall be

documents, the Servicer shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent. Any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be released by the Servicer 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 Servicer pursuant to the immediately succeeding subsection.

Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to the Servicer. 
 SECTION 13.09 Return of Required

 The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld), require that the Collateral Custodian return each Required Loan Document (a) delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 2.16, in
each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit M hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) specifying the Collateral Portfolio 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 Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return

or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days prior written request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the

 Annex C 

Diversity Score Model 
 Diversity Score

 Calculated as follows: 
 (a) An “Issuer Par
Amount” is calculated for each issuer of an Eligible Loan Asset, and is equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Eligible Loan Assets issued by that issuer and all Affiliates. 

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

(c) An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (i) one and (ii) the Issuer Par Amount
for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount. 
 (d) An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each
of the Moody’s industry classification groups (as set forth in Schedule VI of the Agreement) and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry classification group. 

(e) An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each Moody’s industry classification group by reference to the following table
for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided, that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry
Diversity Scores:

 (f) The Diversity Score is then calculated by summing each of the Industry Diversity Scores for each Moody’s industry
classification group. 
 For purposes of calculating the Diversity Score, Affiliated issuers in the same industry are deemed to be a single issuer, except
as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent 







 Annex D 

WARR and WARF Matrix Models 

Collateral Quality Matrix 
 For any date of determination,
the intersection set forth in the matrices below that has been selected by the Servicer for use in determining the scores that are required to satisfy the Diversity Score Test, the WARF Test, the WARR Test and the Weighted Average Spread Test. The
Servicer may elect from time to time to apply a different intersection in the matrices set forth below upon notice to the Administrative Agent, however the Servicer may not elect to apply an intersection in which any Collateral Quality Test is not
satisfied if there exists an intersection in which all of the Collateral Quality Tests would be satisfied. In determining whether the criteria set forth in the matrices are satisfied, the Servicer may interpolate linearly between either Weighted
Average Spread or Minimum Recovery Rate (but not both) while leaving the other values in the matrices constant.

WARR and WARF Related Definitions 

“Assigned Moody’s Rating” means the monitored publicly available rating or the monitored estimated rating expressly assigned to a debt
obligation (or facility) by Moody’s that addresses the full amount of the principal and interest promised; provided that, if application has been made for such estimated rating, pending its receipt, the Assigned Moody’s Rating will
be the lower of (i) the rating as may be estimated in good faith by the Servicer in accordance with the Moody’s RiskCalc Calculation described herein and (ii) a rating of “B3”; provided, further, that with respect to
any Loan Asset for which Moody’s has provided an estimated rating, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) will (x) if such estimated rating was provided to the Borrower more than 6 months prior to the Closing Date, request that
Moody’s confirm or update such estimate within 6 months after the Closing Date, and in all other cases and thereafter, request that Moody’s confirm or update such estimate annually (and pending receipt of such confirmation or new estimate,
the Loan Asset will have the prior estimated rating) and (y) notify Moody’s if the Servicer becomes aware of any restructuring, recapitalization or other material amendment that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would have a
material adverse effect on such Loan Asset. 
 “Moody’s Default Probability Rating” means, with respect to any date of determination,
the rating as determined in accordance with the following, in the following order of priority; provided that, with respect to the Loan Assets generally, if at any time Moody’s or any successor to it ceases to provide rating services,
references to rating categories of Moody’s shall be deemed instead to be references to the equivalent categories of any other nationally recognized investment rating agency selected by the Borrower (with written notice to the Administrative
Agent), as of the most recent date on which such other rating agency and Moody’s published ratings for the type of security in respect of which such alternative rating agency is used: 

(a) with respect to a Moody’s First Lien Loan Asset: 

(i) if the obligor thereunder has a corporate family rating from Moody’s, such corporate family rating; 

(ii) if the preceding clause does not apply and such Loan Asset has an Assigned Moody’s Rating, such Assigned Moody’s
Rating; 
 (iii) if the preceding clauses do not apply and a rating or rating estimate has been assigned by Moody’s to
such Loan Asset upon the request of the Borrower or the Servicer, such rating or rating estimate, as applicable; and 
 (iv)
if the preceding clauses do not apply, the Moody’s Derived Rating; 
 (b) with respect to a Loan Asset other than a Moody’s First
Lien Loan Asset or DIP Loan Asset: 
 (i) if the obligor thereunder has a senior unsecured obligation with an Assigned
Moody’s Rating, such rating; 







 (ii) if the preceding clause does not apply and such Loan Asset has an Assigned
Moody’s Rating, such Assigned Moody’s Rating; 
 (iii) if the preceding clauses do not apply and a rating or rating
estimate has been assigned by Moody’s to such Loan Asset upon the request of the Borrower or the Servicer, such rating or rating estimate, as applicable; and 

(iv) if the preceding clauses do not apply, the Moody’s Derived Rating; and 

(c) with respect to a DIP Loan Asset, the rating that is one rating subcategory below the Moody’s Rating thereof. 

provided, that with respect to any Loan Asset for which Moody’s has provided an estimated rating, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) will
(x) if such estimated rating was provided to the Borrower more than 6 months prior to the Closing Date, request that Moody’s confirm or update such estimate within 6 months after the Closing Date, and in all other cases and thereafter,
request that Moody’s confirm or update such estimate annually (and pending receipt of such confirmation or new estimate, the Loan Asset will have the prior estimated rating) and (y) notify Moody’s if the Servicer becomes aware of any
restructuring, recapitalization or other material amendment that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would have a material adverse effect on such Loan Asset. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the Moody’s rating or ratings used to determine the Moody’s Default Probability Rating are on watch for
downgrade or upgrade by Moody’s, such rating or ratings will be adjusted down one subcategory (if on watch for downgrade) or up one subcategory (if on watch for upgrade), in each case without duplication of any adjustments made pursuant to the
last sentence of the definition of Moody’s Rating and (y) for purposes of the Moody’s Default Probability Rating used for purposes of determining the Moody’s Rating Factor of a Loan Asset, if the Moody’s rating or ratings
used to determine the Moody’s Default Probability Rating are on watch for downgrade or upgrade by Moody’s, the Moody’s Default Probability Rating will be adjusted down two subcategories (if on watch for downgrade) or up one
subcategory (if on watch for upgrade) and down one subcategory (if negative outlook), in each case without duplication of any adjustments made pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Derived Rating.

 “Moody’s Derived Rating” means, with respect to any Loan Asset and the Obligor thereof as of any date of determination, the rating
determined in accordance with the following, in the following order of priority:

 (b) if the preceding clause does not apply, but the Obligor has
a subordinated obligation with an Assigned Moody’s Rating, then: 
 (i) if such Assigned Moody’s Rating is at least
“B3” (and, if rated “B3,” not on watch for downgrade), the Moody’s Derived Rating shall be the rating which is one rating subcategory higher than such Assigned Moody’s Rating, or

family rating from Moody’s, the Moody’s Derived Rating shall be one rating subcategory below such corporate family rating; 
 (e)
with respect to Loan Assets that do not have a Moody’s Derived Rating determined pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), the Moody’s Derived Rating of such Loan Asset shall be the lower of (i) the rating as may
be estimated in good faith by the Servicer in accordance with the Moody’s RiskCalc Calculation described herein subject to the satisfaction of the qualifications set forth therein (and with notice of such calculation provided to the
Administrative Agent) and (ii) a rating of “B3”; provided that if the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower has applied to Moody’s for a Moody’s credit estimate (such request having been made within 10
Business Days after the purchase of such Loan Asset), then upon receipt of such Moody’s credit estimate, the Moody’s Derived Rating for purposes of this Agreement shall be such Moody’s credit estimate; provided that as of any
date of determination, the aggregate principal amount of Loan Assets with a Moody’s Derived Rating determined pursuant to this clause (e) may not exceed (1) at any time during the Ramp-Up Period, 20% of the Concentration Test Amount,
