(a)          On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the conditions to purchase set forth in Article
III), on each Purchase Date, (x) with respect to items of Collateral conveyed by the Seller hereunder, the Seller hereby sells,
transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby Purchases and takes from the Seller all
right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located) of the Seller (including all
obligations of the Seller as lender to fund any Revolving Collateral Loan or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan conveyed by the Seller
to Buyer hereunder which obligations Buyer hereby assumes), and (y) in all other cases, with respect to items of Collateral Purchased
by the Buyer hereunder, the Buyer hereby Purchases all right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising
and wherever located) (including all obligations as lender to fund any Revolving Collateral Loan or Delayed Drawdown Collateral
Loan Purchased by Buyer hereunder which obligations Buyer hereby assumes), in the property identified in clauses (i) - (iv)
below and all accounts, cash and currency, chattel paper, tangible chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, copyrights, copyright
licenses, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles, instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment
property, letter-of-credit rights, accessions, proceeds and other property consisting of, arising out of, or related to any of
the following (in each case excluding the Excluded Amounts) (collectively, the “Collateral”):


 


(i)          the
Collateral Obligations listed on each Loan List delivered by the Seller to the Buyer from time to time pursuant to this Agreement
and all monies due, to become due or paid in respect of such Collateral Obligations on and after the related Purchase Date, including
but not limited to all Collections and other recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the related Purchase Date;


 


(ii)         all
Liens and Related Property with respect to the Collateral Obligations referred to in clause (i) above;

doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, the term “Collateral” shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed
to include any Collateral Obligation acquired directly by the Buyer from a third party in a primary market transaction arranged
and/or underwritten by the Seller or any Collateral Obligation acquired by the Buyer in a secondary market transaction as provided
herein.


 


(b)          From
and after each Purchase Date, the Collateral listed on the relevant Loan List shall be deemed to be Collateral hereunder.


 




    	-5-



    	 



    

 


(c)          On
any Purchase Date and on the Advance Date with respect to the Collateral to be acquired or financed by the Buyer on that date,
as applicable, the Seller shall be deemed to, and hereby does, reaffirm and certify to the Buyer, the Collateral Agent, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, and the Facility Agent, as of such Purchase Date or such Advance Date, as applicable, that each of the
representations and warranties in Section 4.02 is true and correct as of such Purchase Date or such Advance Date, as applicable.


 


(d)          Except
as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and purchase of Collateral under this Agreement shall be without recourse
to the Seller; it being understood that the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants
and indemnities made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are limited so as not to constitute
recourse to the Seller for the credit risk of the Obligors.


 


(e)          In
connection with each Purchase of Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer hereby directs the Seller to, and the
Seller agrees that it will Deliver, or cause to be Delivered, to the Custodian, each Collateral Obligation being transferred to
the Buyer on such Purchase Date in accordance the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Seller shall take such action
requested by the Buyer or the Facility Agent, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that
the Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest and its assigns under the Credit Agreement have an enforceable and perfected security
interest in the Collateral Purchased by the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(f)          In
connection with the Purchase by the Buyer of the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller further agrees that it
will, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files and its financial statements, on or prior to
each Purchase Date, that such Collateral has been Purchased by the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.


 


(g)          The
Seller further agrees to deliver to the Buyer on or before each Purchase Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct
Loan List (which shall contain the related Principal Balance, outstanding principal balance, loan number and Obligor name for each
Collateral Obligation) as of the related Purchase Date. Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement,
shall be delivered to the Buyer as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement
as such Schedule I may be supplemented and amended from time to time.


 


(h)          It
is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of all right, title and interest in and to the Collateral to the Buyer
as provided in Section 2.01 shall constitute an absolute sale, conveyance and transfer conveying good title, free and clear
of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) and that the Collateral shall not be part of the Seller’s bankruptcy estate in the
event of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Collateral Obligations and the other Collateral to the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. If, however,
notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.01 is determined to be a transfer
for security, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning
of Article 9 of the UCC and the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected, first priority “security interest”
within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, now existing and hereafter
created, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase
Price of the Collateral together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder. The Buyer shall have, in addition to
the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under
the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.


 




    	-6-



    	 



    

 


(i)          The
Seller and the Buyer agree and acknowledge that, in accordance with the terms of the Retention of Net Economic Interest Letter,
on and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Buyer will acquire all Collateral Obligations (other than any acquired pursuant
to an offer, exchange or exercise of rights or remedies pursuant to a Collateral Obligation owned by the Buyer) pursuant to this
Agreement including as follows:


 


(i)          The
Buyer may acquire a Collateral Obligation from a third party in a primary market transaction arranged and/or underwritten by the
Seller. Each Collateral Obligation that is acquired in a primary market transaction arranged and/or underwritten by the Seller
may be transferred to or acquired by the Buyer without waiting a two Business Day period, subject to the Seller retaining credit
and market value risk described in Section 2.02.


 


(ii)         Each
Collateral Obligation that is acquired in the secondary market (including any acquisition by the Buyer in which such Collateral
Obligation is settled directly with the Buyer) shall be held (including via a commitment to purchase) on the Seller’s books
and records for its own account for at least two Business Days before transfer to or acquisition by the Buyer.


 


Section
2.02         Purchase Price.


 


The purchase price
for each item of Collateral sold to the Buyer under and for purposes of this Agreement shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair
market value thereof as determined by the Seller’s investment adviser (the “Purchase Price”). In the case
of the acquisition of a Collateral Obligation in the primary market pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.01(i), the Seller shall
retain credit and market risk for two Business Days after the acquisition of the Collateral Obligation by the Buyer by agreeing
that if (a) the Purchase Price at the close of business on such date is greater than the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer at acquisition,
the Buyer shall pay to the Seller such positive difference from cash on hand in the Collection Account and (b) if the Purchase
Price at the close of business on such date is less the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer at acquisition, the difference shall be
payable in cash by the Seller to the Buyer. Each Collateral Obligation acquired in the secondary market and sold by Seller to the
Buyer pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.01(i) shall be sold at the Purchase Price thereof determined at the earlier of (but
in no event earlier than two Business Days after the Seller has committed to purchase such Collateral Obligation) (1) the entering
into of a trade confirmation or forward purchase agreement between the Seller and the Buyer with respect to such Collateral Obligation
or other evidence of the agreement to transfer such Collateral Obligation from the Seller to the Buyer on the books and records
thereof and (2) settlement by Buyer of its purchase of such Collateral Obligation.


 




    	-7-



    	 



    

 


Section
2.03         Payment of Purchase Price.


 


(a)          The
Purchase Price for any Collateral acquired by the Buyer on any Purchase Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid in a combination
of (i) immediately available funds and (ii) if the Buyer does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount of the Purchase
Price (after taking into account any Advance the Buyer expects to receive pursuant to the Credit Agreement), by means of a capital
contribution by the Seller to the Buyer.


 


(b)          [Reserved.]


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Collateral
proposed to be transferred to the Buyer on such date as a capital contribution to the Buyer. In such event, the cash portion of
the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the Collateral
that was so contributed; provided that Collateral contributed to the Buyer as capital shall constitute Collateral for all
purposes of this Agreement. To the extent the fair market value of any Collateral purchased or acquired by replacement and substitution
by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of cash paid or other consideration exchanged therefore, such excess shall
be deemed to be a capital contribution from the Seller to the Buyer.


 


(d)          The
Seller, in connection with each Purchase hereunder relating to any Collateral, shall be deemed to have certified, and hereby does
certify, with respect to the Collateral to be Purchased by the Buyer on such day, that its representations and warranties contained
in Article IV are true and correct on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day.


 


(e)          Upon
the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Collateral included in such Purchase shall vest in Buyer, whether
or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied;
provided that Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the
Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.


 


(f)          The
Seller and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any assignment agreement required to be
executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of any Related Documents
may reflect that the relevant seller is assigning such Collateral Obligation directly to the Buyer. Nothing in any assignment agreement
shall be deemed to impair the transfer of the related Collateral Obligation by the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Any such Collateral Obligation so assigned for administrative convenience shall be deemed sold and transferred
by the related seller to the Seller and, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be sold and transferred by the Seller to the Buyer.
For the avoidance of doubt, all of the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the conditions precedent to all
purchases, the representations and warranties of the Seller, the covenants of the Seller and the indemnity of the Seller, contained
in Section 3.02, Article IV, Article V and Article VII hereof, respectively, shall apply to the Seller with equal force with respect
to any such sales and assignments for administrative convenience by any related seller to the Buyer as if such sale and assignment
was directly from the Seller to the Buyer.


 




    	-8-



    	 



    

 


(g)          Collateral
Obligations may be purchased or acquired from time to time by the Buyer from the Seller or any of its Affiliates hereunder only
if (i) the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Buyer than the terms it would obtain in a comparable, timely
purchase or acquisition with a non-Affiliate and (ii) the transactions are effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

COVENANTS


 


Section
5.01         Affirmative Covenants of the Seller.


 


From the Original Closing
Date until the Payment in Full Date:


 




    	-17-



    	 



    

 


(a)          Preservation
of Corporate Existence. The Seller, prior to its Conversion, preserved and maintained is limited liability company (and, after
its Conversion has or will preserve and maintain its corporate) existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction
of its formation, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing as a foreign limited liability company or foreign corporation,
as applicable, in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises, privileges and
qualification has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business operations, assets or
financial condition of the Seller or on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the provisions of any other Facility
Document applicable to the Seller, or the performance by the Seller of its duties hereunder or thereunder.


 


(b)          Performance
and Compliance with Collateral. The Seller will, at its expense, timely and fully perform and comply in all material respects
with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under all agreements related to such Collateral.


 


(c)          Protection
of Interest in Collateral. With respect to the Collateral Purchased by the Buyer, the Seller will (i) sell such Collateral
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) (at the Seller’s expense) take all action necessary
to perfect, protect and more fully evidence the Buyer’s or its assignee’s ownership of or security interest in such
Collateral free and clear of any Lien other than the Lien created hereunder and Permitted Liens, including, without limitation,
(a) filing and maintaining (at the Seller’s expense), effective financing statements naming the Seller, as debtor, the Buyer,
as secured party, and the

Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as assignee, in all necessary or appropriate filing offices, and filing
continuation statements, amendments or assignments with respect thereto in such filing offices, and (b) executing or causing to
be executed such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or appropriate, and (iii) take all additional action that the
Buyer, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent may reasonably request to perfect, protect and more fully evidence the respective
interests of the parties to this Agreement in the Collateral and of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
under the Credit Agreement.


 


(d)          Delivery
of Collections. The Seller will cause all payments relating to all Collateral to be remitted directly to the Collection Account.
In the event any payments relating to any Collateral are remitted directly to the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller
will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following
receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, the Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments
to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Buyer (and its assignees).


 


(e)          Separate
Identity. The Seller acknowledges that the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are entering into the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate
from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller. Therefore, from and after the Original Closing Date, the Seller has and
will take all reasonable steps to maintain the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and each
other Affiliate of the Seller and to make it manifest to third parties that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities
distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate
(except as otherwise required under GAAP or applicable tax law). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition
to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller agrees that:


 




    	-18-



    	 



    

 


(i)          the
Seller will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that the Buyer is at all times in compliance with Section 5.03
of the Credit Agreement (provided, however, that the Seller does not hereby guaranty the solvency of the Buyer or agree to pay
any of the Buyer’s obligations or liabilities);


 


(ii)         the
Seller shall maintain corporate records and books of account separate from those of the Buyer;


 


(iii)        the
annual financial statements of the Seller shall disclose the effects of the Seller’s transactions in accordance with GAAP
and the annual financial statements of the Seller shall not reflect in any way that the assets of the Buyer, including, without
limitation, the Collateral, could be available to pay creditors of the Seller or any other Affiliate of the Seller;


 


(iv)        the
resolutions, agreements and other instruments underlying the transactions described in this Agreement shall be continuously maintained
by the Seller as official records;


 


(v)         the
Seller shall maintain an arm’s–length relationship with the Buyer and will not hold itself out as being liable for
the debts of the Buyer;


 


(vi)        except
as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Seller shall keep its assets and its liabilities wholly separate from those
of the Buyer;


 


(vii)       the
Seller will avoid the appearance, and promptly correct any known misperception of any of the Seller’s creditors, that the
assets of the Buyer are available to pay the obligations and debts of the Seller; and


 


(viii)      to
the extent that the Seller services the Collateral and performs other services on the Buyer’s behalf, the Seller will clearly
identify itself as an agent for the Buyer in the performance of such duties; provided, however, that the Seller
will not be required to so identify itself when communicating with the Obligors not in its capacity as agent for the Buyer but
rather in its capacity as agent for a group of lenders.


 


(f)          Cooperation
with Requests for Information or Documents. The Seller will cooperate fully with all reasonable requests of the Buyer regarding
the provision of any information or documents in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Seller without undue burden
or expense which are necessary or desirable, including the provision of such information or documents in electronic or machine–readable
format, to allow each of the Buyer and its assignees (including, without limitation, the Collateral Agent) to carry out their responsibilities
under the Facility Documents.


 


Section
5.02         Negative Covenants of the Seller.


 


From the Original Closing
Date until the Payment in Full Date:


 




    	-19-



    	 



    

 


(a)          Change
of Name or Location of Loan Files. The Seller shall not change its name (other than in connection with its Conversion), move
the location of its principal place of business and chief executive office, or change the jurisdiction of its formation or incorporation,
as applicable, unless the Seller gives written notice thereof to the Buyer and the Facility Agent and takes all actions required
under the UCC of each relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Buyer and
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral.


 


(b)          Accounting
of Purchases. Other than for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat (whether in
financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale of the Collateral by
the Seller to the Buyer; provided that for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Buyer is treated as a “disregarded
entity” and, therefore, the transfer of Collateral by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder will not be recognized.

Contemporaneously with
the receipt of the Substitute Loan, the Buyer shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without
recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Buyer in and to any Replaced Loan and Related Property pursuant to this Section
6.01, and the Buyer shall cause the Collateral Agent to release the Lien of the Credit Agreement thereon.


 


Section
6.02         Seller’s Optional Right to Repurchase Collateral Obligations.


 


(a)          In
addition to its right of substitution hereunder, so long as the Seller is permitted to do so pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(vi)
of the Credit Agreement, the Seller may, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(a)(vi) and Section 10.01(a)(viii)
of the Credit Agreement and this Section 6.02, repurchase any Credit Risk Loan, Defaulted Loan or Excess Concentration
Loan and Related Property at the Repurchase Price, provided that no such repurchase shall occur unless each of the following conditions
is satisfied as of the date thereof:


 


(i)          the
Repurchase and Substitution Limits applicable to any such repurchase are satisfied;


 


(ii)         the

(b)          Promptly
upon request of the Seller to do so, the Buyer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall determine each component of the
Repurchase Price and shall notify the Seller of each thereof and of the Repurchase Price with respect thereto should the Seller
elect to exercise its repurchase option. No later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such information, the Seller may,
at its option, by written notice to the Buyer, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent and the Facility Agent, elect to exercise
its right to repurchase such Collateral Obligation and Related Property and, on such date or within five (5) Business Days thereafter,
repurchase such Collateral Obligation and Related Property. Failure by the Seller to exercise such option to repurchase any Collateral
Obligation and Related Property at any time shall not affect the ability of the Seller to exercise such right at a later date with
respect to such Collateral Obligation and Related Property provided the Repurchase Price is redetermined at such later time.


 


(c)          Contemporaneously
with the receipt of the Repurchase Price, the Buyer shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Seller,
without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Buyer in and to any Collateral Obligation and Related Property repurchased
by the Seller pursuant to Section 6.02(a), and the Buyer shall cause the Collateral Agent to release the Lien of the Credit
Agreement thereon.

INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SELLER


 


Section
7.01         Indemnification.


 


The Seller agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer, its officers, directors, employees, personnel and agents (any one of which is an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments,
reasonable legal fees and related costs and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain as a result
of the Seller’s fraud or the failure of the Seller to perform its duties in compliance in all material respects with the
terms of this Agreement, except to the extent arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming
indemnification, provided that the Seller shall not be liable for any consequential (including loss of profit), indirect, special
or punitive damages hereunder. Any Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Seller if such Person receives
a complaint, claim, compulsory process or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability giving rise to a claim of indemnification
hereunder but failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless and
to the extent the Seller is deprived of material substantive or procedural rights or defenses as a result thereof. The Seller shall
assume (with the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the defense and any settlement
of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. The parties agree
that the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Seller against loss by reason
of the bankruptcy, insolvency or lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor with respect to a Collateral Obligation. The Seller shall
have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible
or uncollected Collateral Obligations.


 


Section
7.02         Liabilities to Obligors.


 


Except with respect
to the funding commitment assumed by the Buyer with respect to any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan or Revolving Collateral Loan,
no obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Collateral Obligations is intended to be assumed by the Buyer, the Facility
Agent or any of the other the Secured Parties under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


Section
7.03         Operation of Indemnities.


 


If the Seller has made
any indemnity payments to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects
any such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will repay such amounts collected to the Seller.

fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties
