 LOAN AGREEMENT dated as of July 23, 2014 (this “Agreement”) among ALPINE
FUNDING LLC, as borrower (the “Company”); SIC ADVISORS LLC (the “Portfolio Manager”); the Financing Providers party hereto; 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 for the Financing Providers hereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 

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 assigns, are referred to herein as the “Financing Providers”, and the types of financings to be made available by
them hereunder are referred to herein as the “Financings”. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this 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 or about the date hereof, the Company intends to acquire certain
Portfolio Investments pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), dated on or about the date hereof, between the Company and Sierra Income Corporation (the “Seller”). 

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 THE PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENTS 
 SECTION 1.01. 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 Effective Date and ending
on, but excluding, July 23, 2017 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 on which a Market Value Event occurs. 

SECTION 1.02. Procedures for Purchases, Substitutions and Related Financings. 

(a) Timing of Approval Requests. 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 request (an “Approval Request”) for 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 an Approval Request 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 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 Approval Requests. Each Approval Request 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]. 
 (d)
Right of the Administrative Agent to Reject Approval Requests. The Administrative Agent, shall have the right, on behalf of all Financing Providers, in its sole and absolute discretion, to approve or reject any Approval Request and 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
rejection of each Approval Request (and, if accepted, 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 Approval Request; provided that any Portfolio Investments acquired by the Company pursuant to the Sale Agreement on the date hereof shall be deemed to be approved by the Administrative Agent. With
respect to any accepted Approval Request, 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, at all times, JPMCB. 
 SECTION 1.03.
Conditions to Purchases or Substitutions. No Purchase Commitment, Purchase or Substitution shall be entered into unless each of 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

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, Event of Default or event that, with notice or lapse
of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), in each case, has occurred and is continuing, and the Reinvestment Period has not otherwise ended; and 

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

The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Financing Providers, may waive any conditions to a Purchase Commitment, Purchase or Substitution,

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. 
 SECTION 1.04. 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 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. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, neither the Company nor the Portfolio Manager on its behalf shall have any right to cause the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Portfolio Investment or any other asset (including, without limitation, the transfer of amounts on
deposit in the Accounts) without the 

  
 - 3 - 







 
consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Portfolio Investments (individually
or in lots, including a lot comprised of all of the Portfolio Investments) 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 Agent’s standard
market practices) and (iii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Portfolio Manager shall have no right to act on behalf of, or otherwise direct, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other person in
connection with a sale of Portfolio Investments pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 
 In connection with any sale of a Portfolio
Investment directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04 and the application of the net proceeds thereof, the Company hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact (it being understood that
the Administrative 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 to effectuate the provisions of this
Section 1.04 (including, without limitation, the power to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 1.04 or any
direction or notice to the Collateral Agent in respect to the application of net proceeds of any such sales). None of the Administrative Agent, the Financing Providers, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent
nor any Affiliate of any thereof shall incur any liability to the Company, the Portfolio Manager or any other person in connection with any sale effected at the direction of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 1.04,
including, without limitation, as a result of the price obtained for any Portfolio Investment, the timing of any sale or sales of Portfolio Investments or the notice or lack of notice provided to any person in connection with any such sale, so long
as, in the case of the Administrative Agent only, any such sale does not violate applicable law. 
 “Business Day” means
any day on which commercial banks are open in each of New York City and the city in which the corporate trust office of the Collateral Agent is located; provided that, with respect to any LIBOR related provisions herein, “Business
Day” shall be deemed to exclude any day on which banks are required or authorized to be closed in London, England. 

“Compliance Condition” means, on any date of determination, a condition that is satisfied if the (A) the principal
amount of then outstanding Advances (assuming that Advances have been made for any outstanding Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled (other than Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled within fifteen
(15) Business Days (or such longer period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of the related Trade Date)) minus the amounts then on deposit in the Accounts (including cash and Eligible Investments)
representing Principal Proceeds is less than or equal to (B) 50% of the Net Asset Value. 
 “First Lien Loan” means a
Portfolio Investment (i) that is not (and cannot by its terms become) subordinate in right of payment to any obligation of the obligor thereof in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings
(other than pursuant to a Permitted Working Capital Lien and customary waterfall provisions contained in the applicable loan agreement), (ii) that is secured by a pledge of collateral, which security interest is (a) validly perfected and
first priority (subject to liens for taxes or regulatory charges and any other liens permitted under the related underlying instruments that are reasonable and customary for similar loans) under applicable law or (b)(1) validly perfected and second
priority in the accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, letter-of-credit rights, supporting obligations, deposit and investments accounts under applicable law and proceeds of any of the foregoing (a first priority lien on such assets a
“Permitted Working Capital Lien”) 

  
 - 4 - 







 
and (2) validly perfected and first priority (subject to liens for taxes or regulatory charges and any other liens permitted under the related underlying instruments that are reasonable and
customary for similar loans) in all other collateral under applicable law and (iii) the Portfolio Manager determines in good faith that the value of the collateral securing the loan (including based on enterprise value) on or about the time of
origination or acquisition by the Company equals or exceeds the outstanding principal balance thereof plus the aggregate outstanding balances of all other loans of equal or higher seniority secured by the same collateral. 

“Market Value Cure” means, on any date of determination, (i) the contribution by the Seller of cash to the Company
(which shall be deposited in the MV Cure Account) and/or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (in accordance with the Sale Agreement), additional Portfolio Investments to the Company and the pledge and Delivery thereof by the Company to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the prepayment by the Company of an aggregate principal amount of Advances (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) or (iii) any combination of the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii), in each case during the Market Value Cure Period and in an amount such that the Net Asset Value exceeds the product of (a) the Market Value Trigger specified on the Transaction Schedule and (b)(x) the principal amount of the
outstanding Advances (assuming that Advances have been made for any outstanding Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled (other than Purchase Commitments which have traded but not settled within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such
longer period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of the related Trade Date)) minus (y) the amounts then on deposit in the Accounts (including cash and Eligible Investments) representing Principal
Proceeds; provided that, any Portfolio Investment contributed to the Company in connection with the foregoing must meet all of the applicable Eligibility Criteria (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent) and the
Concentration Limitations (as defined on Schedule 4) shall be satisfied after such contribution or, if not satisfied immediately prior to such contribution, maintained or improved. For the purposes of any request for consent of the Administrative
Agent pursuant to clause (i) in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent on the day on which the events set forth in clause (A)(i) of the definition of the term Market Value Event has occurred of its
intention to contribute a Portfolio Investment to the Company to cure such event and requests the related consent thereto, the Administrative Agent shall respond to such request no later than one (1) Business Day after such notice is received.
In connection with any Market Value Cure, a Portfolio Investment shall be deemed to have been contributed to the Company if there has been a valid, binding and enforceable contract for the assignment of such Portfolio Investment to the Company and,
in the reasonable judgment of the Portfolio Manager, such assignment will settle within fifteen (15) Business Days thereof. The Portfolio Manager shall use its best efforts to effect any such assignment within such time period. 

“Market Value” means, on any date of determination, (i) with respect to any First Lien Loan or Second Lien Loan, the
average indicative bid-side price determined by Markit Group Limited or LoanX (or, if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that such bid price is not available or is not indicative of the actual current market value, the market
value of such First Lien Loan or Second Lien Loan as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner), (ii) with respect to any Collateralized Delayed Funding Commitment, the market value (as
determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner ) of the Loan that would be made if such Collateralized Delayed Funding Commitment were fully drawn and advanced and (iii) with respect to any other
Portfolio Investment, the market value of such Portfolio Investment as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, with respect to each Portfolio Investment (other than those
determined by reference to Markit Group Limited or LoanX), the Administrative Agent may determine the Market Value thereof more than once per calendar week only if the Market Value of such Portfolio Investment (after such determination) would be
less than 95% (or more than 105%) of the then-current Market Value of 

  
 - 5 - 







 
such Portfolio Investment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Market Value for any Portfolio Investment shall not be greater than the par amount thereof. So long as no Market
Value Event has occurred or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Portfolio Manager shall have the right to initiate a dispute of the Market Value of certain Portfolio Investments as set forth below. 

If the Portfolio Manager disputes the determination of Market Value with respect to any Portfolio Investment, the Portfolio Manager may (with
respect to up to three Portfolio Investments per calendar quarter) engage a Nationally Recognized Valuation Provider, at the expense of the Company, to provide a valuation of the applicable Portfolio Investment and submit evidence of such valuation
to the Administrative Agent. Such valuation will be the Market Value for the applicable Portfolio Investment from and after (but not earlier then) delivery of notice of such valuation to the Administrative Agent; provided that the
Administrative Agent may determine in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner that the Market Value for the applicable Portfolio Investment has changed, in which the Administrative Agent may determine another Market Value (in accordance

Financing Commitments. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the Reinvestment Period each Financing
Provider hereby severally agrees to make available to the Company on a revolving basis the types of Financing identified on the Transaction Schedule as applicable to such Financing Provider, in U.S. dollars, in an aggregate amount, for such
Financing Provider and such type of Financing, not exceeding the amount of its Financing Commitment for such type of Financing. The Financing Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the Financing

provide such type of Financing to the Company hereunder in an amount up to but not exceeding the portion of the applicable financing limit set forth on the Transaction Schedule that is held by such Financing Provider at such time. 

A Financing Provider with a Financing Commitment to make Advances hereunder is referred to as a “Lender”. 

SECTION 2.02. [reserved]. 

SECTION 2.03. Financings; Use of Proceeds. 

(a) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Purchase of a Portfolio Investment set forth in Section 1.03 both as
of the related Trade Date and Settlement Date, the applicable Financing Providers will make the applicable Financing available to the Company on the date 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 Approval Request or to make advances to the obligor of Delayed Funding Term Loans in accordance with the underlying instruments relating thereto, 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 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 Effective Date to but excluding February 23, 2015. The proceeds of such Advance shall be deposited in the Collection Account and held as cash pending the acquisition of additional Portfolio Investments. 

SECTION 2.04. Other Conditions to Financings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Lenders to make
Advances shall not become effective until the date (the “Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion):

and such other documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of the Company and the Portfolio Manager and any other legal matters relating to
the Company, the Portfolio Manager, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

 ARTICLE III 

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE FINANCINGS 

SECTION 3.01. The Advances. 

(a) Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each
Lender shall make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the Collection Account. Each Lender at its option may make any
Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow, prepay and reborrow Advances. 

  
 - 10 - 







 (b) Interest on the Advances. All outstanding Advances shall bear interest (from and
including the date on which such Advance is made) at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any principal of or interest on any Advance is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate
otherwise applicable to the Advances as provided in the preceding sentence. As used herein: 
 “Calculation
Period” means the period from and including the date on which the first Advance is made hereunder to but excluding the one month anniversary thereof and each successive one month period during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of
the last Calculation Period, if the last Calculation Period does not end on a monthly anniversary of the date of the first Advance hereunder (each such date, a “Calculation Period Start Date”), the period from and including the
preceding Calculation Period Start Date to but excluding the Maturity Date). 
 “LIBO Rate” means, for each
Calculation Period relating to an Advance, the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 Page on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, or any successor to or substitute for such
service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to 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 of 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 of 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. 

(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. 
 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 the order of such Lender (or, if a registered note is requested by such Lender, 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 the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

  
 - 11 - 







 (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) Other Connection 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 and (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. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment. 

  
 - 12 - 







 “Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the
greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime 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. 

“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 office in New York City; each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including the date such change is publicly announced as being effective.

1%) of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is
not so published 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.

 SECTION 3.02. General. The provisions of Section 3.01 and any other provisions relating to the types of Financings
contemplated by each such section shall not be operative until and unless such types of Financing have been made available to the Company, as evidenced by the Transaction Schedule. 

SECTION 3.03. Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. 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 

  
 - 13 - 







 
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

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. 
 (ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a U.S. Person, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an

Administrative Agent, but only if the Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party

W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; or 
 (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial
owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as

Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such
Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

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. 

(2) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof. 

(3) Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part
thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto. 

(4) Endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in the Company’s name to allow collection of the Collateral. 

(5) Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral. 

(6) Execute (in the name, place and stead of any of the Company) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments
of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral. 
 (7) Perform such other acts as may be reasonably
required to do to protect the Collateral Agent’s rights and interest hereunder. 
 (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), 

  
 - 36 - 







 
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 

SECTION 9.01. 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 

  
 - 37 - 







 
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. 

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. 

  
 - 38 - 







 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. 
 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. 

  
 - 39 - 







 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 9.02. 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. 

  
 - 40 - 







 (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. 

(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. 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. 

(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 
 SECTION 10.01.
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. 

  
 - 41 - 







 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. 
 SECTION 10.02. 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. 
 SECTION 10.03. 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. 
 SECTION 10.04. 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. 

  
 - 42 - 







 (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 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. 

SECTION 10.05. Amendments. 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. 

SECTION 10.06. 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). 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. 

  
 - 43 - 







 (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) 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). 
 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 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 may 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 

  
 - 44 - 







 
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. 

(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. 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.

in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
