Section 2.            Appointment
of the Document Custodian. The Company hereby appoints the Document Custodian, and the Document Custodian hereby accepts its
appointment, to act as the document custodian for the Company and each Subsidiary, to provide the services set forth in this Agreement,
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


 


The Document Custodian
acknowledges and agrees that it will hold possession of all Collateral Files delivered to it in accordance with this Agreement
for the benefit of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable.


 


Section 3.            Delivery
of Collateral Files.


 


(a)            The
Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary) shall from time to time deliver or cause to be delivered Collateral Files, including
each of the related Collateral Documents, to the Document Custodian to be held hereunder. With respect to each Delivery of Collateral

receiving any Collateral Files hereunder, and in maintaining any listing or providing any report or communication with respect
to the Collateral Files or Collateral Documents held hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be required only to review the face

among the parties in writing, may be taken by the Document Custodian) the Document Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Company

Document Custodian shall not otherwise be under any duty to review, inspect, examine or certify the Collateral Files or related

genuineness, value, contents or enforceability of any Collateral Document; (ii) the validity, adequacy or perfection of any
lien upon or security interest purported to be evidenced or created thereby; or (iii) to determine that the contents of any
Collateral Document are appropriate for the represented purpose or that any Collateral Document has actually been recorded or filed,
as maybe applicable, or that any Collateral Document is other than what it purports on its face to be.

Custodian’s Acceptance of Collateral Files.


 


(a)            The
Document Custodian shall accept the documents received by the Document Custodian pursuant to Section 3 hereunder. With respect
to each Collateral File listed on a given Collateral Schedule, the Document Custodian shall issue a Collateral List (in addition
to the Document Custodian Certification) upon review of the Collateral Files. If upon delivery of such Collateral Files, any Collateral
File listed on the Collateral Schedule has not been received by the Document Custodian, the Document Custodian shall identify
such Collateral File as pending on the related Collateral List.


 


(b)            Any
Collateral List or Document Custodian Certification delivered to the Company by the Document Custodian shall supersede, cancel
and replace the previously delivered Collateral List or Document Custodian Certification, as applicable, and shall, in each case,
control and be binding on the parties hereto.


 


Section 5.            Document
Custodian Certification. (a) The Document Custodian shall, in each Document Custodian
Certification, certify and confirm as to each Collateral File listed on the Collateral Schedule that, except as noted on the
Exception Report attached to such Document Custodian Certification:


 


		(i)	all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 3 as listed on the related
Collateral File Checklist are in the Document Custodian’s possession as part of the Collateral File for such Collateral (other
than those released pursuant to Section 6 below and listed on the related Exception Report); and



 


		(ii)	all documents contained in the Collateral File as described on the attached Schedule I have
been reviewed by the Document Custodian and appear regular on their face and relate to such applicable Collateral File.

(a)            In
the event that any Collateral File is needed by the Company or a Subsidiary for the purpose of correction of errors therein or
for one of the other purposes set forth in a Request for Release, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Document Custodian

Section 7.            Further
Obligations of the Document Custodian.


 


(a)            Maintenance
of Facility. The Document Custodian shall segregate and identify the Collateral Files on its automated data system and maintain
custody of all Collateral Files received by it in secure and fire resistant facilities, all in accordance with customary standards
for such custody and in a manner consistent with Rule 17f-1 under the 1940 Act, as determined by the Company.


 


(b)            Insurance.
The Document Custodian shall, at its own expense, maintain at all times during the existence of this Agreement and keep in full
force and effect insurance in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as customary for insurance typically
maintained by banks that act as document custodian. Upon written request from the Company, the Document Custodian shall provide
evidence (which evidence may be in the form of a certificate of the respective insurer) that such insurance is in full force and
effect.


 


(c)            Examination.
The Document Custodian shall upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice permit (a) inspection during
regular business hours of the Document Custodian (and subject to its usual charges for such access) by the Company (or by its auditors
or agents when requested by the Company) of the Collateral Files, at such place or places where the related Collateral Files are
deposited, and (b) the Company (or its auditors or agents when requested by the Company) to make copies of the Collateral
Files. The Company shall be responsible for any expenses in connection with such inspection and copying. Any such inspection and
copying shall be subject to the procedures of the Document Custodian. In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Company shall indemnify and hold the Document Custodian harmless from all claims, costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred
by the Document Custodian as a result of the damage, loss or misplacement of any Collateral Files or Collateral Documents or other
papers contained in the Collateral Files while in the possession of the Company (or its auditors or agents).


 


Section 8.            Proper
Instructions.


 


(a)            Any
instruction or direction delivered to the Document Custodian from the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary) shall be in
writing and executed by an Authorized Representative and shall be delivered in accordance with Section 13 hereof. The Document
Custodian and the Company may agree from time to time to accept other forms of instruction or direction. Any such instruction or
direction delivered pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be considered “Proper Instructions.” The Company
acknowledges and agrees to provide all Proper Instructions on behalf of any Subsidiary and the Document Custodian shall be entitled
to rely on such Proper Instruction given to it with respect to any Subsidiary.


 






    	 	7	 



     


    

 


(b)            Any
of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Exhibit B (an “Authorized Representative”) are authorized,
acting singly, to act for the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary) under this Agreement. The specimen signature for each
such Authorized Representative of the Company initially authorized hereunder is set forth on Exhibit B. From time to time,
the Company may, by delivering to the Document Custodian a revised exhibit, change the information previously given, but the Document
Custodian shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current Exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit. Any electronically
signed document delivered via electronic mail from a person purporting to be an Authorized Representative shall be considered signed
or executed by such Authorized Representative on behalf of the applicable Person. The Custodian shall have no duty to inquire into
or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on
any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto.


 


(c)            The
Document Custodian shall have no obligation to act in accordance with purported instructions to the extent that they conflict with
applicable law or regulations. The Document Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting from a delay while it obtains
clarification of any Proper Instructions.


 


(d)            If,
in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Document Custodian is required to decide between alternative courses of action,
the Document Custodian may (but shall not be obliged to) request written instructions from the Company as to the course of action
desired by it, upon which the Document Custodian shall be entitled to conclusively rely. If the Document Custodian does not receive
such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, the Document Custodian may, but shall be under
no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Document Custodian shall act in accordance with instructions
received from the Company in response to such request after such two Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken,
or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.


 


Section 9.            Transmission
of Collateral Files. Prior to any shipment of any Collateral Files or Collateral Documents
hereunder pursuant to the request of the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary), the Company shall deliver to the Document
Custodian written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Document Custodian is to utilize in connection
with the transmission of Collateral Files or Collateral Documents in the performance of the Document Custodian’s duties hereunder
(which instruction shall include, if requested by the Document Custodian, billing account numbers maintained by the Company with
such shipper(s) to allow for direct billing of the related charges to the Company). The Company shall arrange for the provision
of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Document Custodian’s option, reimburse the Document Custodian for
all costs and expenses incurred by the Document Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against
loss or damage to Collateral Files or other loan documents as the Company deems appropriate.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed that in the absence of express written instruction from the Company pursuant to the preceding
terms, shipment may be made by the Document Custodian in any instance by means of any recognized overnight delivery or shipping
service (it being hereby expressly acknowledged that United Parcel Service is one such recognized service, without implied limitation).
All costs and risks of shipment shall be borne by the Company, and it is hereby expressly agreed that in no event shall the Document
Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any Person, arising out of actions of the Document Custodian consistent
with the instructions of the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary). Any costs of shipment that may be incurred or paid
by the Document Custodian from time to time may be billed by the Document Custodian to the Company on a monthly basis and shall
be due and payable when billed.

Section 10.           Fees
of the Document Custodian. It is understood that the Document Custodian will charge such
fees for its services under this Agreement as are set forth in a separate agreement (the “Fee Schedule”) between
the Document Custodian and the Company, the payment of which, together with the Document Custodian’s reasonable expenses
(as described below) in connection herewith, shall be solely the obligation of the Company. The final form of such Fee Schedule (as
amended or modified by the parties) shall be binding upon the parties, whether or not such Fee Schedule has been executed
by the parties.


 


The Company agrees
to pay or reimburse to the Document Custodian upon its request from time to time, any and all reasonable costs, disbursements,
advances, and expenses and indemnification amounts (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, agents and experts)
paid or incurred, and any disbursements and advances made (including any account overdraft resulting from any settlement or assumed
settlement, provisional credit, chargeback, returned deposit item, reclaimed payment or claw-back, or the like) by the Document
Custodian, in connection with (i) the preparation or execution of this Agreement, (ii) the transactions contemplated
hereby, (iii) the administration of this Agreement, (iv) in accordance with Section 16 herein, defending itself
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, agents and experts) against any claim (whether brought by or involving
the Company or any third party) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder,
(v) the performance by the Document Custodian of its duties and services under this Agreement and (vi) the enforcement
by the Document Custodian of this Agreement and its indemnification rights hereunder, from time to time (including costs and expenses
of any legal or other action deemed necessary by the Document Custodian to collect any amounts owing to it under this Agreement).


 


Any such fees, expenses
and indemnification amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of request
by the Document Custodian to the Company. If such fees, expenses and indemnification amounts are not paid within 60 days from request
by the Document Custodian, the Document Custodian may resign effective immediately, and shall ship all Collateral Files (in accordance
with Section 9) then held by the Document Custodian on behalf of the Company to the Company at its address as provided in
Section 13.


 


The obligations of
the Company under this Section 10 and such separate agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Document Custodian.

Document Custodian may terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Company.
In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall appoint, by written instrument, a successor document custodian and
(ii) the Document Custodian, promptly upon receipt of payment of any unpaid fees, expenses and indemnification amounts (in
accordance with Section 16 herein) owing to it, shall transfer to the successor document custodian, as directed, all Collateral
Files being held by the Document Custodian under this Agreement. The Document Custodian’s sole responsibility after the termination
of its obligations as aforesaid shall be to safely maintain all of the Collateral Files and to deliver the same to a successor
document custodian; provided, that if a successor document custodian has not accepted custodial responsibilities within the period
set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11(a), the Document Custodian may, at the expense of the Company, either (i) deliver
all Collateral Files to the Company or its designee, or (ii) petition any court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor

is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
(whether or not so stated therein or herein).


 






    	 	11	 



     


    

 


(a)            The
Document Custodian shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement or with respect to the Collateral
Files or the Collateral Documents except for such duties, obligations or responsibilities as are expressly and specifically set
forth in this Agreement as duties obligations or responsibilities on its part to be performed, and the duties obligations and responsibilities
of the Document Custodian shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. No implied duties, obligations
or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement against, or on the part of, the Document Custodian, including any responsibilities
for the Company’s compliance with the 1940 Act. Any permissive right of the Document Custodian to take any action hereunder
shall not be construed as a duty.


 


(b)            The
Document Custodian makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible for or required to verify (A) the validity,
legality, enforceability, due authorization, effectiveness, recordability, insurability, sufficiency, value, form, substance, or
genuineness of any of the documents contained in any Collateral File or (B) the collectability, validity, transferability,
insurability, value, effectiveness, perfection, priority or suitability of any Collateral File or any document contained therein.


 


(c)            The
Document Custodian shall have no responsibilities or duties with respect to any Collateral File while such Collateral File is not

(d)            The
Document Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction,
statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt, electronic communication or other paper or document
furnished to it in accordance with this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and
accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper
person (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of the Company shall be an Authorized Representative). The Document
Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority of any signature appearing thereon. The Document Custodian
shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement,
certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt, electronic communication or other paper or document, provided,
however, that if the form thereof is specifically prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, the Document Custodian shall examine
the same to determine whether it substantially conforms on its face to the requirements set forth herein.


 


(e)            Neither
the Document Custodian nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment, or
for any act done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake
of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action or inaction constitutes
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Document Custodian.


 


(f)            The
Document Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers
conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to Proper Instructions, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of Proper
Instructions required hereby for such action.

(g)            The
Document Custodian may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel selected in good faith, with respect to any question

such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by the
Document Custodian in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The reasonable costs and expenses of
such advice or opinion shall be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Section 10 hereof.


 


(h)            No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Document Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, take any action hereunder (or
omit to take any action) or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties under this Agreement if it
shall have grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory is not assured to it.

Document Custodian may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys, and the Document Custodian shall
not be liable or responsible for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney appointed and maintained with due care.

unless and until the Document Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Company without incurring any liability
therefor to the Company, or any other Person.


 


(k)            In
no event shall the Document Custodian or its directors, affiliates, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any lost
profits or exemplary, punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits or diminution in
value) resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised
of the possibility of such damages.


 


(l)            The
Document Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by
a Responsible Officer of the Document Custodian or unless (and then only to the extent received) in writing by the Document Custodian
in accordance with Section 13 herein and specifically referencing this Agreement. Any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Document Custodian shall have no notice of and shall not be bound by any of the terms and conditions
of any other document or agreement unless the Document Custodian is a signatory party to that document or agreement.

reimbursement of expenses; shall be under no obligation to verify the authenticity of any signature on any of the documents received

(n)            Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Document Custodian any duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other
than (i) any jurisdiction where any Collateral File is or may be held by the Document Custodian from time to time hereunder,
and (ii) any jurisdiction where its ownership of property or conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure
to qualify could have a material adverse effect on the Document Custodian or its property or business or on the ability of the
Document Custodian to perform its duties hereunder.

Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Document Custodian.

Majeure. In no event shall any party hereto be responsible or liable for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, events, circumstances

suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical, communications or other technological

or other similar events or acts; errors by the Company (including any Authorized Representative) in its instructions to the Document
Custodian; or changes in applicable law, regulation or orders.

the Document Custodian and the Company (including any Subsidiary) created hereby, including but not limited to the claims of any
third parties against the Document Custodian, except to the extent such loss, liability or expense results from the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Document Custodian.

shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Document Custodian hereunder.
