CONVEYANCES
OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS


 


Section
2.1           Conveyances.


 


(a)          On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, from time to time after the Closing Date, in the event the
Purchaser agrees to acquire additional Collateral Loans (including the Related Security) from the Seller, the Purchaser shall deliver
written notice thereof to the Seller and the Administrative Agent substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto (each,
a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date (each, a “Purchase Date”) of the proposed Conveyance
and attaching a supplement to the Schedule of Collateral Loans identifying the additional Collateral Loans and Related Security
proposed to be Conveyed. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Seller
shall Convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on the applicable Purchase Date (each such purchase and sale being
herein called a “Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Collateral
Loan then reported by the Seller on the Schedule of Collateral Loans attached to the related Purchase Notice, together with all
other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing.


 


(b)          It
is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the
Purchaser. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any purchase be deemed a grant of a security interest
in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or
contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning
of the UCC and other applicable law and (ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed
to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title
and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing.
The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all
the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees and under the other Facility Documents, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.


 


The Seller and the Purchaser
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention
of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code.


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


(c)          On
or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller agrees to file, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to
the Transferred Assets that are Conveyed by the Seller hereunder from time to time meeting the requirements of applicable state
law in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s organization to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby
under the UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements
or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt thereof.


 


(d)          The
Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take
all actions as may be reasonably necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect the interest
of the Purchaser in the Transferred Assets purchased hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this
Agreement, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted
pursuant hereto) or other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser and mark its master computer
records (or related sub-ledger) noting the purchase by the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets and the Lien of the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law the Purchaser shall be permitted to sign (if necessary) and file, initial financing statements, continuation statements and
amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature; provided that the description of collateral
contained in such financing statements shall be limited to only Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction
of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.


 


(e)          Each
of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that prior to any Conveyance of any Transferred Asset hereunder, the Purchaser has no rights
to or claim of benefit from any such Transferred Asset.


 


(f)          Each
Conveyance under this Agreement shall be without recourse except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


Section
2.2           Indemnification. Without limiting any other
rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis the
Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) and all officers, directors, shareholders,
controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified
Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified
Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of any acts or omissions of the Seller and relating
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts in respect
of any Transferred Asset due to creditworthiness of the related Obligor, (b) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified
Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (c) except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset or (d) any Excluded Taxes.

(b)          Due
Qualification and Good Standing. The Seller is in good standing in the State of Maryland. The Seller is duly qualified to do
business and, to the extent applicable, is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, assets

could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)          Due
Authorization; Execution and Delivery; Legal, Valid and Binding; Enforceability. The execution and delivery by the Seller of,
and the performance of its obligations under the Facility Documents to which it is a party and the other instruments, certificates

been duly executed and delivered by it and constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance
with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.


 


(d)          Non-Contravention.
None of the execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, the

hereof or thereof, will (i) conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under its Constituent
Documents, (ii) conflict with or contravene (A) any Applicable Law, (B) any indenture, agreement or other contractual restriction

a default under, or permit the acceleration of any obligation or liability in any contractual obligation or any agreement or document
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound (or to which any such obligation, agreement or document relates),
except in the case of clauses (i) above, where such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(e)          Governmental
Authorizations; Private Authorizations; Governmental Filings. The Seller has obtained, maintained and kept in full force and
effect all Governmental Authorizations and Private Authorizations which are necessary for it to properly carry out its business,

the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, and no material Governmental
Authorization, Private Authorization or Governmental Filing which has not been obtained or made is required to be obtained or made
by it in connection with the execution and delivery by it of any Facility Document to which it is a party or the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party.

to the conduct of its business and its assets. The Seller has preserved and kept in full force and effect its legal existence.
The Seller has preserved and kept in full force and effect its rights, privileges, qualifications and franchises, except where
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, to

to the Seller’s knowledge, any investor in the Seller is a Person whose name appears on the “List of Specially Designated
Nationals” and “Blocked Persons” maintained by the OFAC.


 




    	7



    	 



    

 


(g)          Place
of Business. The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller, and the offices where the Seller keeps
all its Records, are located at its address specified in Section 8.3, or such other locations notified to the Purchaser
in accordance with this Agreement in jurisdictions where all action required by the terms of this Agreement has been taken and
completed. There are currently no, and during the past four months (or such shorter time as the Seller has been in existence) there
have not been, any other locations where the Seller is located (as that term is used in the UCC of the jurisdiction where such
principal place of business is located).


 


(h)          Backup
Security Interest. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized
as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Transferred Assets
in favor of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest
is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower;
the Transferred Assets are comprised of Instruments, Security Entitlements, General Intangibles, Certificated Securities, Uncertificated
Securities, Securities Accounts, Investment Property and Proceeds and such other categories of collateral under the applicable
UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein; with respect to Transferred Assets that constitute
Security Entitlements, (A) all of such Security Entitlements have been credited to the Collection Account, and the Securities
Intermediary has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as Financial Assets, (B) all steps necessary
to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain Control with respect to the Collection Account have been taken and (C) the Collection
Account is not in the name of any Person other than the Purchaser, subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties; the Purchaser has not instructed the Securities Intermediary to comply with the entitlement order of any
Person other than the Collateral Agent; provided that, until the Collateral Agent delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control
(as defined in the Account Control Agreement), the Purchaser (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) may cause cash in the Collection
Account to be invested in Eligible Investments, and the proceeds thereof to be paid and distributed in accordance with the Credit
Agreement; all Covered Accounts constitute Securities Accounts; the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred
Assets purchased by the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens); the
Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Collateral Loan to the sale and granting of a security
interest in the Collateral Loans hereunder to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties;
the Seller has taken all necessary steps to file or authorize the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper
filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of
the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in
Maryland; all original executed copies of each underlying promissory note constituting or evidencing any Transferred Asset have
been or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the Credit Agreement, will be delivered to the Custodian; with respect
to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such certificated security has been delivered to the Collateral
Agent, as assignee of the Purchaser on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if in registered form, has been specially indorsed (within
the meaning of the UCC) to the Collateral Agent or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security; and in the case of
an Uncertificated Security, by (A) causing the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of such Uncertificated Security
and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.


 




    	8



    	 



    

 


(i)          Fair
Consideration; No Avoidance for Collateral Loan Payments. With respect to each Transferred Collateral Loan sold hereunder,
the Seller sold such Transferred Collateral Loan to the Purchaser in exchange for payment, made in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, in an amount which constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value. Each such Conveyance referred
to in the preceding sentence shall not have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser
and, accordingly, no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the rules
and regulations thereunder. In addition, no such Conveyance shall have been made with the intent to hinder or delay payment to
or defraud any creditor of the Seller.


 


(j)          Eligibility
of Transferred Collateral Loans. Each Transferred Collateral Loan that is Conveyed hereunder is not, at the time of such Conveyance,
an Ineligible Collateral Loan. As of each Purchase Date, the Schedule of Collateral Loans delivered on such Purchase Date provides
an accurate and complete listing of all the Transferred Collateral Loans as of such Purchase Date and the information contained
therein with respect to the identity of the Obligor of such Transferred Collateral Loans and the amounts owing with respect thereto
is true and correct in all material respects.


 


(k)          Solvency.
The Seller is not the subject of any Insolvency Event. The transactions under this Agreement and any other Facility Document to
which the Seller is a party do not and will not render the Seller not Solvent.


 


(l)          Information
True and Correct. All information heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Seller in writing to any Lender,
the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is and
will be (when taken as a whole) true and correct in all material respects and does not and will not omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.


 


(m)          Selection
Procedures. In selecting the Collateral Loans hereunder and for Affiliates of the Purchaser, no selection procedures (taking
into account the type of assets included in the Collateral Loans) were employed which are intended to be adverse to the interests
of any Agent or Lender.


 


(n)          Special
Purpose Entity. The Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities separate and distinct from those of the Seller and any
Affiliates thereof, and the Seller hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties
are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal
entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller. Therefore, from and after the date of execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including all steps that the Purchaser or the Administrative
Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from
the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller, and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser 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.

Article
V


 


COVENANTS
OF THE SELLER


 


Section
5.1           Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants
and agrees with the Purchaser that, from the date hereof, and until all amounts owed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement have
been paid in full (other than as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), unless the Purchaser otherwise consents
in writing:


 


(a)          Compliance
with Agreements, Laws, Etc. The Seller shall (i) duly observe and comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws
relative to the conduct of its business or to its assets, (ii) preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence,
(iii) preserve and keep in full force and effect its rights, privileges, qualifications and franchises, except where the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) comply in all material respects with the
terms and conditions of each Facility Document to which it is a party, its Constituent Documents and each Related Security to which
it is a party and (v) obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect all Governmental Authorizations, Private Authorizations
and Governmental Filings which are necessary or appropriate to properly carry out its business and the transactions contemplated
to be performed by it under the Facility Documents to which it is a party, its Constituent Documents and the Related Documents
to which it is a party.


 


(b)          Cash
Management Systems: Deposit of Collections. To the extent the Seller (in its capacity as such) receives any Collections with
respect to the Transferred Assets, the Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all such Collections to the Collection
Account by the close of business on the second Business Day following the date such Collections are received and identified.


 


(c)          Books
and Records. The Seller shall keep proper books of record and account in which full and correct entries shall be made of all
financial transactions and the assets and business of the Seller in accordance with GAAP, maintain and implement administrative
and operating procedures, and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information necessary or reasonably advisable
and relating to the Transferred Assets prior to their Conveyance hereunder for the collection of all Transferred Assets.


 


(d)          Accounting
of Purchases. Other than for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat the transactions
contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser;
provided that for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity”
and, therefore, the transfer of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will not be recognized for such purposes.


 


(e)          Taxes.
The Seller will file on a timely basis all federal and other material tax returns (including foreign, state, local and otherwise)
required to be filed and will pay all taxes due and payable by it or any assessments made against it or any of its property and
all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount
the validity of which is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with
GAAP are provided on the books of the Seller).


 




    	10



    	 



    

 


(f)          Liens.
The Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its rights under any of the
Facility Documents or with respect to the Transferred Assets other than Permitted Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.1(f)
shall not apply to any property retained by the Seller and not Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder.


 


(g)          Change
of Name. Etc. The Seller shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing
statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller (or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Seller) in accordance
with Section 2.1(d) seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Seller shall have given
the Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously
filed financing statements and continuation statements.


 


(h)          Sale
Characterization. The Seller shall not make statements or disclosures, or treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(other than for tax or accounting purposes) in any manner other than as a true sale, contribution or absolute assignment of the
title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of the Transferred Collateral Loans; provided that the Seller
may consolidate the Purchaser and/or its properties and other assets for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP and shall,
in any such consolidated financial statement of the Seller, disclose appropriately in a footnote that such Transferred Collateral
Loans are owned by the Purchaser.


 


(i)          Separate
Identity. The Seller acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are entering into
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Credit Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal
entity that is separate from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller. Accordingly, from and after the date of execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will take all reasonable steps to maintain the Purchaser’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
Purchaser 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other
covenants set forth herein, the Seller will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that the Purchaser is at all
times in compliance with Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement.
