the Collateral Agent party hereto (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”); the Collateral Administrator party
hereto (in such capacity, the “Collateral Administrator”); the Securities Intermediary party hereto (in such
capacity, the “Securities Intermediary”); and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent

The Company, the Portfolio
Manager, the Financing Providers, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative
Agent are parties to a Loan Agreement dated as of July 23, 2014 (the “Original Closing Date”) (as amended by
Amendment No. 1 to the Loan Agreement dated as of February 6, 2015 and as further amended or otherwise modified prior to the date
hereof (the “Existing Loan Agreement”)).


 


The parties to the Existing
Loan Agreement have agreed to amend the Existing Loan Agreement in certain respects and to restate the Existing Loan Agreement
as so amended as provided in this Agreement, in each case effective upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Section 2.04.


 


The Portfolio Manager
and the Company wish for the Company to accumulate certain loans and other debt securities (the “Portfolio Investments”),
all on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.


 


On and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMCB”) has agreed to make
advances to the Company (“Advances”) hereunder to the extent specified on the transaction schedule attached
as Schedule 1 hereto (the “Transaction Schedule”). JPMCB, together with its respective successors and permitted

Agreement relating to types of Financings not indicated on the Transaction Schedule as being available hereunder shall not bind
the parties hereto, and shall be of no force and effect.


 


Furthermore, on the Original
Closing Date and on or about the date hereof, the Company did and intends to acquire certain Portfolio Investments pursuant to
a Sale and Contribution Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), dated on or about the Original Closing Date, between
the Company and Sierra Income Corporation (the “Seller”).


 


Accordingly, the parties
hereto agree as follows:


 


ARTICLE I

THE PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS


 


Purchases
of Portfolio Investments. From time to time during the Reinvestment Period, the Company may acquire Portfolio Investments,
or request that Portfolio Investments be acquired for the Company’s account, all on and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein. Each such acquisition is referred to herein as a “Purchase”, and all Portfolio Investments
so Purchased (or Substituted) and not otherwise sold or liquidated are referred to herein as the Company’s “Portfolio”.


 






     


     


    

 


As used herein, (a) “Reinvestment
Period” means the period beginning on, and including, the Amendment Effective Date and ending on, but excluding, the
earlier of (x) December 29, 2020May
18, 2021 or (y) the date on which a Market Value Event occurs and (b) “Maturity Date” means the
date that is the earliest of (1) the Scheduled Termination Date set forth on the Transaction Schedule, (2) the date on which the
Secured Obligations become due and payable following the occurrence of an Event of Default under Article VII and (3) the date after
a Market Value Event on which all Portfolio Investments have been sold and the proceeds therefrom have been received by the Company.


 


SECTION
1.01. Procedures for Purchases, Substitutions and Related Financings.


 


(a) Timing of Notices
of Acquisition. No later than five (5) Agent Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in
its sole discretion) before the date on which the Company proposes that a binding commitment to acquire any Portfolio Investment
be made by it or for its account (a “Purchase Commitment”) or that a Substitution occur, the Portfolio Manager,
on behalf of the Company, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice (a “Notice of Acquisition”) of
such Purchase or Substitution. “Agent Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange
markets settle payments in each of New York City and the city in which the corporate trust office of the Collateral Agent is located
(which shall initially be New York City). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Portfolio Manager, on behalf of the Company, may not
deliver a Notice of Acquisition in respect of any Purchase or Substitution from the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement, or propose
a contribution in connection with a Market Value Cure, on any date that is more than 60 days after the Original Closing Date if
on such date (i) there are outstanding Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled equal to or greater than 20% (or
such greater percentage as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) of the Net Asset Value and (ii) the Compliance
Condition is not satisfied.


 


(b) Contents of Notices
of Acquisition. Each Notice of Acquisition shall consist of one or more electronic submissions to the Administrative Agent
(in such format and transmitted in such a manner as the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Manager and the Company may reasonably
agree (which shall initially be the format and include the information regarding such Portfolio Investment identified on Schedule 2)),
and shall be accompanied by such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.


 


(c) [reserved].


 






    - 2 -


     


    

 


(d) Eligibility of
Portfolio Investments. The Administrative Agent, shall have the right, on behalf of all Financing Providers to request additional
information regarding any proposed Portfolio Investment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Portfolio Manager and the Company
(including via electronic mail or other customary electronic messaging system) of its approval or failure to approve each Portfolio
Investment proposed to be acquired pursuant to a Notice of Acquisition (and, if approved, an initial determination of the Market
Value for the related Portfolio Investment) no later than the fifth (5th) Agent Business Day succeeding the date on
which it receives such Notice of Acquisition; provided that any Portfolio Investments acquired by the Company pursuant to
the Sale Agreement on the Original Closing Date shall be deemed to be approved by the Administrative Agent. With respect to any
approved Portfolio Investment to be acquired pursuant to a Notice of Acquisition, the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward
such request to the Lenders, together with a preliminary indication of the amount and type of Financing that each Lender is being
asked to provide in connection therewith. The term “Required Financing Providers” shall mean, Financing Providers
with respect to more than 50% of the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances plus (ii) the
aggregate undrawn amount of the outstanding Financing Commitments. The failure of the Administrative Agent to approve the acquisition
of a Portfolio Investment will not prohibit the Company from acquiring such Portfolio Investment (subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 1.03); provided that any Portfolio Investment not so approved prior to its Trade Date shall be deemed to be an
Ineligible Investment until such later date (if any) on which such Portfolio Investment is so approved.


 


Conditions

the following conditions is satisfied (or waived as provided below) as of the date on which such Purchase Commitment is entered
into (such Portfolio Investment’s “Trade Date”) or the Company consummates a Substitution (the “Substitution
Date”) (and such Portfolio Investment shall not be Purchased and no Substitution shall occur, and the related Financing shall
not be required to be made available to the Company by the applicable Financing Providers, unless each of the following conditions
is satisfied or waived as of such Trade Date or Substitution Date, as applicable):


 


(1) Such
Trade Date or Substitution Date is not later than ten (10) Agent Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent
has either approved or failed to approve such Purchase Commitment;


 


(2) the information
contained in the Notice of Acquisition accurately describes, in all material respects, such Portfolio Investment and such Portfolio
Investment satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth in Schedule 3 (the “Eligibility Criteria”);


 


(3) the proposed
Settlement Date for such Portfolio Investment is not later than the earlier of (x) the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days
(or such longer period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after such Trade Date and (y) the
date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of the Reinvestment Period;


 


(4) no Market
Value Event has occurred and no Event of Default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event
of Default (a “Default”) has occurred and is continuing, and the Reinvestment Period has not otherwise ended;
and


  






    - 3 -


     


    

 


(5) after
giving effect to the Purchase or Substitution of such Portfolio Investment and the related provision of Financing (if any) hereunder:


 


(v)
if such Purchase Date or Substitution Date, as applicable, occurs during the Reinvestment Period, the sum of amounts on deposit
in the Accounts (including cash and Eligible Investments) is not less than $20,000,000;


 


(w) the Compliance
Condition is satisfied;


 


(x) the Concentration
Limitations (as defined on Schedule 4) shall be satisfied or, if not satisfied immediately prior to such Purchase Commitment or
Purchase, as the case may be, maintained or improved;


 


(y) the aggregate
principal balance of Financings then outstanding will not exceed, for each type of Financing available hereunder, the limit for
such type of Financing set forth in the Transaction Schedule; and


 


(z) the amount
of such Financing (if any) shall be not less than U.S.$ 3,000,000.


 


The Administrative Agent,
on behalf of the Financing Providers, may waive any conditions to a Purchase Commitment, Purchase or Substitution, as the case
may be, specified above in this Section 1.03 by written notice thereof to the Company, the Collateral Administrator, the Portfolio
Manager and the Collateral Agent.


 


If the above conditions
to a Purchase or Substitution are satisfied or waived, the Portfolio Manager shall determine, in consultation with the Administrative
Agent and with notice to any applicable Financing Providers and the Collateral Administrator, the date on which such Purchase shall
settle (the “Settlement Date” for such Portfolio Investment) and any related Financing shall be provided.


 


Sales
of Portfolio Investments. The Company will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Portfolio Investment or any
other asset without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers),
except that, subject to Section 6.02(hh), (i) the Company may make Permitted Distributions and Permitted RIC Tax
Distributions permitted by Article VI and (ii) the Company may sell any Portfolio Investment, Ineligible Investment or other asset
so long as, (x) after giving effect thereto, no Market Value Event has occurred and no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and (y) the sale of such Portfolio Investment by the Company shall be on an arm’s-length basis. As used
herein, “Ineligible Investment” means any Portfolio Investment that fails, at any time, to satisfy the Eligibility
Criteria. The Company may sell any Warranty Portfolio Investment (as defined in the Sale Agreement) to the Seller pursuant to the
terms of the Sale Agreement; provided that with respect to any Portfolio Investment for which the Administrative Agent has
waived one or more of the criteria set forth on Schedule 3, the Eligibility Criteria in respect of such Portfolio Investment shall
be deemed not to include such waived criteria at any time after such waiver and such Portfolio Investment shall not be considered
an “Ineligible Investment” by reason of its failure to meet such waived criteria; provided further that any
Portfolio Investment which has not been approved by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.02 on or prior to its Trade
Date will be deemed to be an Ineligible Investment until such later date (if any) on which such Portfolio Investment is so approved.

at the sole direction of, and in the manner (including, without limitation, the time of sale, sale price, principal amount to be
sold and purchaser) required by the Administrative Agent (provided that the Administrative Agent shall only require sales
at the direction of the Required Financing Providers and at then-current fair market values and in accordance with the Administrative

applicable law.

    - 9 -


     


    

 


SECTION 1.03. Interest
Rates; LIBOR Notification.



 


The
interest rate on an Advance may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of
regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate
benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently
discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent
the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  In
July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing
banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administration,
the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate.  As a result, it is possible that
commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference
rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Advances denominated in U.S. dollars. In light of this eventuality, public and
private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of
the London interbank offered rate.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an
Early Opt-In Election, Section 3.01(f) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.01(f), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest
rate on an Advance is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not
have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered
rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or any definition related thereto) or with respect to any alternative
or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement
rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.01(f)(ii) or (iii), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term
SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes
pursuant to Section 3.01(f)(iv)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative,
successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate
or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Financing
Commitments.


 


Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, during the Reinvestment Period each Financing Provider hereby severally agrees to make available

type of Financing, not exceeding the amount of its Financing Commitment for such type of Financing;
provided that, such Financing Commitment may be increased a maximum of two times in an amount no less than $25,000,000,
each time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and continuing and no Market Value Event has occurred by written notice
by the Company to the Administrative Agent with
the consent of the Lenders. Such increase shall become effective five (5) Agent Business Days after receipt by
the Administrative Agent of such notice and consent of the Lenders. The Financing

date of termination of the Financing Commitments pursuant to Article VII). As used herein, “Financing Commitment”

specified in the request submitted by the Portfolio Manager (which shall be no sooner than one (1) Business Day following the date
of such request and in any event no later than the related Settlement Date, if applicable, which shall be no sooner than one (1)
Business Day following the date of such request) as provided herein.


 


(b) Except as expressly
provided herein, the failure of any Financing Provider to make any Advance required hereunder shall not relieve any other Financing
Provider of its obligations hereunder. If any Financing Provider shall fail to provide any Financing to the Company required hereunder,
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Financing Provider to satisfy such Financing Provider’s obligations
hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.


 


(c) Subject to Section
2.03(e), the Company shall use the proceeds of the Financings received by it hereunder to purchase the Portfolio Investments identified
in the related Notice of Acquisition, to make advances to the obligor of Delayed Funding Term Loans in accordance with the underlying
instruments relating thereto or to make Permitted Distributions permitted by Article VI, provided that, if the proceeds
of a Financing are deposited in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.01 prior to or on the Settlement Date for any Portfolio
Investment but the Company is unable to Purchase such Portfolio Investment on the related Settlement Date, or if there are proceeds
of such Financing remaining after such Purchase, then, subject to Section 3.01(a), the Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds
on such date as provided in Article IV. The proceeds of the Financings shall not be used for any other purpose.


 


(d) With respect to any
Advance, the Portfolio Manager shall, on behalf of the Company, submit a request substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, not later than 2:00p.m.
New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day specified as the date on which such Advance shall be made and,
upon receipt of such request, the Lenders shall make such Advances in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.01. Any
requested Advance shall be (i) in an amount such that, after giving effect thereto and the related purchase (if any) of the applicable
Portfolio Investment(s), the Compliance Condition is satisfied, and (ii) if related to the Purchase of any Portfolio Investment,
no later than ten (10) Agent Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent approved such Purchase in accordance
herewith.

(e) If, on the last day of the Ramp-Up Period, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances (assuming that Advances
have been made for any outstanding Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled) is less than 80% of the aggregate Financing
Commitments, then the Portfolio Manager (on behalf of the Company) shall be deemed to have requested a Financing on such date,
and the Lenders shall make a corresponding Advance in accordance with Article III on such day (or, if such day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day), such that after the funding thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Advances (assuming that Advances have been made for any outstanding Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled) is
equal to 80% of the aggregate Financing Commitments. “Ramp-Up Period” means
the period from and including the Original Closing Date to but excluding August 6, 2015. The proceeds of such Advance shall be
deposited in the Collection Account and held as cash pending the acquisition of additional Portfolio Investments.


 


(f) If two Business Days
prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Company has any outstanding unfunded obligations to make future advances under
any Delayed Funding Term Loan, then the Portfolio Manager, on behalf of the Company, shall be deemed to have requested an Advance
on such date, and the Lenders shall make a corresponding Advance on the last day of the Reinvestment Period (with written notice
to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with Article III in amount equal to the least of (i)
the aggregate amount of all such unfunded obligations, (ii) the Financing Commitments in excess of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Advances and (iii) an amount such that the Compliance Condition is satisfied after giving effect to such Advance;
provided that, if the Company provides evidence to the Administrative Agent that it has cash from other sources that is available
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to make any such future advances in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loan, then
the amount of any such Advance shall be reduced by the amount of such funds. After giving effect to such Advance, the Company shall
cause the proceeds of such Advance and cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all unfunded obligations remaining in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loans to
be deposited in the Collection Account.


 


(g) Without limitation
to clause (f) above, the Company shall not acquire any unfunded commitment under any Delayed Funding Term Loan unless, on a pro
forma basis after giving effect to such purchase, the Compliance Condition and item 6 of the Concentration Limitations will each
be satisfied.

U.S. dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time,
two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement ofthe
Reference Time with respect to such Calculation Period, as the rate for U.S. dollar deposits with a maturity of
one month. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the LIBO Rate for such Calculation Period shall be the
rate at which U.S. dollar deposits in an amount corresponding to the amount of such Advance and for the applicable maturity are
offered by the principal London office of the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the London interbank market
at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement ofthe
Reference Time with respect to such Calculation Period. The LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent (and notified to the Collateral Administrator and the Portfolio Manager), and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if the LIBO Rate as calculated for any purpose under
this Agreement is below zero, the LIBO Rate will be deemed to be zero for such purpose until such time as it exceeds zero again.


 


“Reference
Time” with respect to any setting of the then-current Benchmark means (1) if such Benchmark is the LIBO Rate, 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on the day that is two London banking days preceding the date of such setting, and (2) if such Benchmark is not the
LIBO Rate, the time determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.


 


(c) Evidence of the
Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness
of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (1) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or
to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained
pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
provided further that, if such accounts are inconsistent with the Register, the Register shall prevail.


 


Any Lender may request
that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory
note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee
and its registered assigns).


 


(d) Pro Rata Treatment.
Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata
basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held
by them.

(e) Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that
the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes
it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative
Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines
(in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the Company, such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental
expenses), until such time as the Advances are required to be prepaid as mandated by law in clause (3) below, to transfer all of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with respect to which such performance
would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then
any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and other
amounts owing hereunder) but not later than such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that any
such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to the LIBO Rate, then the foregoing clauses
(1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending
immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances
set forth on the Transaction Schedule.


 


If any Change in Law
shall subject any recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender or such other recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other recipient hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other recipient, the Company will pay
to such Lender or other recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other
recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


 


If any Lender (i) provides
notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under this clause (e) or (ii) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder,
then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents
to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign),
provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment, (y) a
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and (z) such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall
be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate
or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate
shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.


 


“Connection
Income Taxes” means Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that
are franchise Taxes or branch profit Taxes.


 


“Prime Rate”
means the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by JPMCB as its prime rate in effect at its principal

for any day that is a Business Day, the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) of the quotations for
such day for such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected
by it.


 


Subject to Section 3.03,
all payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in
such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatever nature imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Company is
organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified
to be paid under this Agreement.


 


(f) Alternate Rate
of Interest. (i) IfSubject
to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) of this Section 3.01(f), if prior to the commencement of any Calculation
Period: for an Advance,
(x) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published
on a current basis), for U.S. dollar deposits and such Calculation Period; provided
that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time or


 






    - 17 -


     


    

 


(y) the Administrative
Agent is advised by the Required Financing Providers that the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Company, the Portfolio Manager
and the Lenders by telephone or,
telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company,
the Portfolio Manager and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, if
any Advance is requested, such Advanceby
the Lenders shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction

the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances
set forth in clause (i)(x) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth
in clause (i)(x) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer
be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor to establish an
alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining
a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement
to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 10.05, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice
of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Financing Providers stating that
such Required Financing Providers object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance
with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 3.01(f)(ii),
only to the extent the LIBO Rate for U.S. dollar deposits and such Calculation Period is not available or published at such time
on a current basis), if any Advance is requested, such advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.


 


(ii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in
Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any

and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under
any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day
after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such
time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Financing Providers.

of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark
for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without
any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that,
this clause (iii) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Company a Term SOFR
Notice.


 


(iv)
In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event,
a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation
of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement
of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (vi) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability
Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or
group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.01(f), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or
of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action
or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without
consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant

of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (x)
any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time
as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (y) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of
such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or
will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” for
any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was
removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including
a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative
for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation

request for an Advance in or continuation of Advances to be made or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing
that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for an Advance into a request for an Advance or conversion of an
outstanding Advance to an Advance that accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin
for Advances.


 


(viii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Benchmark Replacement shall be consistent with
the rate that the initial Lender or its affiliates are generally charging under comparable provisions of credit facilities provided
by them to similarly situated special purpose entity borrowers whose primary assets consist of loans and/or debt securities of
the same general nature as the Portfolio Investments (it being understood that the spread over such index rate or other rate adjustment
based on the credit risk of the related collateral assets or portfolio manager will not constitute a component of the interest
rate charged by the initial Lender or its affiliates for purposes of determining comparability under this clause (viii)).

of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Calculation Period” pursuant to
clause (vi) of Section 3.01(f).


 


“Benchmark”
means, with respect to Advances, initially, the LIBO Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition
Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the

benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing
market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities
denominated in U.S. dollars at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;


 


provided
that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that
publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further
that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR
Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement”

for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;


 


(b)
the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is

Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 


 


“Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational

substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market
practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration
of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably
necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).


 


“Benchmark
Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such

Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in
Election from Lenders comprising the Required Financing Providers.


 


For
the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than,
the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the
Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in
the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein
with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that,
at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor
of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).


 


“Benchmark
Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark

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


 


(b)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


(c)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf
of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(d)
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to
the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).


 


(e)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(f)
Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect
to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by
the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the
Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or
credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes)
of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund
had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or
any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

consent of the Collateral Agent. The Securities Intermediary hereby certifies that it is a bank or trust company that in the ordinary
course of business maintains securities accounts for others and in that capacity has established the Accounts in the name of the

account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”)),
(2) all property credited to any Account shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (3) except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise
each financial asset credited to each Account. The parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary shall act only on entitlement

consent by any other person); and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have exclusive control and
the sole right of withdrawal over each Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Accounts shall be in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Subordination
of Lien, Etc. If the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security
interest in any Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security
interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The property credited to any Account will not be
subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except
that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees
and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been
credited to any Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).


 


(d) Property Registered,

of the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities
Intermediary or in blank.


 


(e) Jurisdiction;
Governing Law of Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Account and all interests, duties and obligations related
thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction”
(within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition
have the meanings given to them in the UCC.


 


(f) No Duties.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties other than those
expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this
Section 8.01 so long as it acts without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary

(2) in the

Agent; and

    - 55 -


     


    

 


(c) Remedies, Etc.
During the period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and
to the extent directed in writing by the Required Financing Providers, with (to the extent permitted by applicable law) a copy
to the Company) do any of the following:


 


(1) Exercise
in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may,
without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms
as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Company of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor,
and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof.

collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise

(d) Compliance with
Restrictions. The Company and the Portfolio Manager agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in
connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel in writing is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable
law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such
prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons
who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution
or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental
regulatory authority or official, and the Company and the Portfolio Manager further agree that such compliance shall not, in and
of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall
the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company or the Portfolio Manager for any discount allowed by the reason of
the fact that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.


 


(e) Private Sale.
The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale
pursuant to clause (c) above conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and the Portfolio Manager hereby waive
any claims against each Agent and Financing Provider arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.


 


(f) Collateral Agent
Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact (it being
understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment),
with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s
discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may
be), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument
which the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this clause
is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.


 


(g) Further Assurances.
The Company covenants and agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative
Agent), the Company will execute and deliver such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent
(as directed by the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to
protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such document may
alter the rights and protections afforded to the Company or the Portfolio Manager herein.


 


(h) Termination.
Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations)
and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically (and without further action
by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination, the Collateral
Agent will, at the Company’s sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without
any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing
all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such
documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS


 


Appointment
of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Financing Providers hereby irrevocably appoints each of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”)
as its agent and authorizes such Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Financing Provider hereby agree that no Financing Provider shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and
remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


Each financial institution
serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Financing Provider (if applicable) as
any other Financing Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent
hereunder.


 


No Agent shall have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent
shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no
Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall
not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such
Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise
of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Financing Providers, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii)
in the case of any Agent, the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated
to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and
the Collateral Agent only) or the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers that
shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to it by the Company or a Financing Provider, and no Agent shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with
this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument
or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to be delivered to such Agent.


 






    - 58 -


     


    

 


Each Agent shall be entitled
to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
direction, opinion, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person.
Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.


 


In the event the Collateral
Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Financing
Providers, the instruction of the Required Financing Providers shall govern. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral
Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced
herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed
to impose a duty to act.


 


It is expressly acknowledged
and agreed that neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under
any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria (Schedule 3) or the Concentration Limitations (Schedule
4) in any instance, or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other person with the requirements of this Agreement.


 


Each Agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates
and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such person and its Affiliates (the “Related
Parties”) for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and
to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
as the case may be.


 


Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Agents,
the Financing Providers, the Portfolio Manager and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Financing Providers shall
have the right (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Market Value Event has occurred, the consent
of the Company and the Portfolio Manager) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Financing Providers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Financing Providers, appoint a successor Agent which shall
be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent
gives notice of its resignation, such Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring Agent’s resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while it was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.


 






    - 59 -


     


    

 


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


 


Anything in this Agreement
notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special,
indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator
or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 


Each Agent and the Collateral
Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent or the Collateral
Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent or the Collateral
Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.


 


Each Agent and the Collateral
Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished
to it in connection with this Agreement.


 


Each Agent and the Collateral
Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing
or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest
or lien granted to it hereunder.


 


The protections set forth
in this Section 9.01 shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

SECTION
9.01. Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Administrator.


 


(a) Collateral Agent
May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative
Agent or the Required Financing Providers) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security
interest therein, provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of
such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary
to applicable law or (2) might subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative
Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction makes provision satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent for payment of same.


 


(b) Reasonable Care.
The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession,
provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request
at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for
filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times
or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.


 


(c) Collateral Agent
Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless
disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this
Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable
to the Collateral Agent’s failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity
as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses incurred as a result of the
liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity.


 


(d) Certain Rights
and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Financing Providers, the Collateral
Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject
of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which
the Required Financing Providers have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, any Agent or Financing
Provider may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative
of the Financing Providers (but not any Financing Provider in its individual capacity unless the Required Financing Providers shall
otherwise agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all
or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account
of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.


 






    - 61 -


     


    

 


(e) Collateral Agent
and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator
such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Portfolio Manager, may agree
in writing, subject to the Priority of Payments. The Company further agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator,
or reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the Priority of Payments.


 


(f) Execution by the
Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are executing this
Agreement solely in their capacity as Collateral Agent and Collateral Administrator hereunder and in no event shall have any obligation
to make any Advance, provide any Financing or perform any obligation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.


 


(g) Reports by the
Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Administrator shall prepare such reports as may be mutually agreed to by the Administrative
Agent, the Portfolio Manager and the Collateral Administrator.


 


ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS


 


Non-Petition;
Limited Recourse. Each of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Portfolio
Manager hereby agrees not to commence, or join in the commencement of, any proceedings in any jurisdiction for the bankruptcy,
winding-up or liquidation of the Company or any similar proceedings, in each case prior to the date that is one year and one day
(or if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after the payment in full of all amounts owing to the parties hereto.
The foregoing restrictions are a material inducement for the parties hereto to enter into this Agreement and are an essential term
of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent or the Company may seek and obtain specific performance of such restrictions (including
injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation or similar proceedings. The Company
shall promptly object to the institution of any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation or similar proceedings against it and take
all necessary or advisable steps to cause the dismissal of any such proceeding; provided that such obligation shall be subject
to the availability of funds therefor. Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall limit the right of any party hereto to file any claim
or otherwise take any action with respect to any proceeding of the type described in this Section that was instituted against the
Company by any Person other than a party hereto.


 






    - 62 -


     


    

 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no recourse
under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or the Portfolio Manager contained in this Agreement shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, partner, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of the Company, the Portfolio Manager
or any of their respective Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) 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 this Agreement is
solely a corporate obligation of the Company and (with respect to the express obligations of the Portfolio Manager hereunder) the
Portfolio Manager and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer,
director, member, manager, employee or agent of the Company, the Portfolio Manager or any of their respective Affiliates (solely
by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Company
or the Portfolio Manager contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches
by the Company or the Portfolio Manager of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity,
or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent
is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.

 


Notices.
All notices and other communications in respect hereof (including, without limitation, any modifications hereof, or requests, waivers
or consents hereunder) to be given or made by a party hereto shall be in writing (including by electronic mail or other electronic
messaging system of .pdf or other similar files) to the other parties hereto at the addresses for notices specified on the Transaction
Schedule (or, as to any such party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party
hereto). All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when (a) transmitted by facsimile, (b)
personally delivered, (c) in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, or (d) in the case of notices and communications transmitted
by electronic mail or any other electronic messaging system, upon delivery, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.


 


No Waiver.
No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.


 


(a)  The Company
shall pay (1) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their Related Parties, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for each Agent and such other local counsel as required for the Agents,
collectively (subject, in the case of the Collateral Agent, to the limitations set forth in the fee schedule dated June 17, 2014
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby), in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement
or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
shall be consummated) and (2) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and the Lenders, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for each Agent and such other local counsel as required for all of them,
in connection herewith, including the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including their
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Financings provided by them hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Financings.


 


(b) The Company shall
indemnify the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Lenders and each Related Party of any of the
foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one
outside counsel for each Agent and such other local counsel as required for any Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (1) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement
or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations or the exercise of the
parties thereto of their respective rights or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (2) any Financing
or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (3) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating
to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment
to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud, reckless disregard or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii)
with respect to the Lenders, relate to the performance of the Portfolio Investments. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with
respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.


 


(c) To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, and no Indemnitee (other
than the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Related Party thereof) shall assert,
and each Indemnitee (other than the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Related
Party thereof) hereby waives, any claim against the Company, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement
or any agreement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby, any Financing or the use of the proceeds thereof.


 






    - 64 -


     


    

 


Amendments.
Subject to Section 3.01(f), no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing
(including, without limitation, a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and executed by each of the
Company, the Agents, the Required Financing Providers and the Portfolio Manager; provided, however, that any amendment
to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent determines in its commercially reasonable judgment is necessary to effectuate the
purposes of Section 1.04 hereof following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence
of a Market Value Event and which would not result in an increase or decrease in the rights, duties or liabilities of the Portfolio
Manager shall not be required to be executed by the Portfolio Manager; provided, further, that the Administrative
Agent may waive any of the Eligibility Criteria and the requirements set forth in Schedule 3 or Schedule 4 in its sole discretion.


 


Successors;
Assignments.


 


(a) The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent and each Financing Provider (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and the Portfolio Manager may not assign or otherwise transfer
any of its right or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set
forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


(b) Subject to the conditions
set forth below, any Lender may assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (or Affiliates thereof) all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at
the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent;
provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment to
an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) with a Financing Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such
assignment.


 


Assignments shall be
subject to the following additional conditions: (A) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part
of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative
Agent; and (C) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Market Value Event has occurred no Lender may assign
this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Person identified on Schedule 5 (an “Ineligible
Person”) without the prior written consent of the Company.


 


Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof below, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment
and assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as
a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.03 and 10.04).


 






    - 65 -


     


    

 


The Administrative Agent,
acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Financing Commitment of,
and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the parties hereto shall treat each person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender and the Portfolio Manager, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record
the information contained therein in the Register.


 


(c) Any Lender may, without
the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Lender
Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations and (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Financing Providers shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement
or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to
any Material Amendment that affects such Lender Participant. As used herein, “Material Amendment” means any
amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement that (i) increases the Financing Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduces
the principal amount of any Advance or reduces the rate of interest thereon, or reduces any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpones
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance, or any interest thereon, or any other amounts payable hereunder,
or reduces the amount of, waives or excuses any such payment, or postpones the scheduled date of expiration of any Financing Commitment,
(iv) changes any provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required hereby, or (v) changes any of
the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Financing Providers” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Financing Providers required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination
or grant any consent hereunder. No Lender Participant shall be an Ineligible Person without the prior written consent of the Company.


 






    - 66 -


     


    

 


(d) Each Lender that
sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant’s
interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters
of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b)(1)
of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner
of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements
and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject
to the provisions of Section 3.01(e) relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section
10.06; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a
participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate
the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.01(e) with respect to any Participant.

been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court
does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes any party hereto from bringing Proceedings
in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings
in any other jurisdiction.


 


(c) Waiver of Jury
Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Interest
Rate Limitation.. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the
interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Advance under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect
thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable
in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.08 shall be cumulated and the interest
and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor)
until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall
have been received by such Lender.


 


Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by facsimile or other written form of communication, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original as against the party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute
