THE FACILITY, ADVANCE PROCEDURES AND NOTES


 


Section 2.1           Advances.
(a)  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender Group hereby agrees to make
advances to or on behalf of the Borrower (individually, an “Advance”
and collectively the “Advances”)
from time to time on any date (each such date on which an Advance is made, an “Advance
Date”) during the period from the date hereof to the end of the Revolving
Period; provided that there shall
be no more than two (2) Advance Dates during any calendar week.


 




    	-37-



    	 



    

 


(a)          Under
no circumstances shall any Lender make an Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance and any purchase of Eligible Collateral
Obligations in connection therewith, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances would exceed the lower of (i) the
Facility Amount and (ii) the Borrowing Base on such day. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Revolving Period,
the Borrower may borrow, reborrow, repay and prepay (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4)
one or more Advances.


 


Section
2.2           Funding of Advances.
(a)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2,
the Borrower may request Advances hereunder by giving notice to the Administrative Agent, each Agent and the Collateral Agent
of the proposed Advance at or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance
Date. Such notice (herein called the “Advance Request”)
shall be in the form of Exhibit C-1 and shall include (among other things)
the proposed Advance Date and amount of such proposed Advance, and shall, if applicable, be accompanied by an Asset Approval Request
setting forth the information required therein with respect to the Collateral Obligations to be acquired by the Borrower on the
Advance Date (if applicable). The amount of any Advance shall at least be equal to the least of (x) $500,000, (y) the
(1) Borrowing Base on such day minus (2) the Advances outstanding on such day and (z) the (1) Facility Amount on such
day minus (2) the Advances outstanding on such day before giving effect to the requested Advance as of such date. Any Advance
Request given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2, shall
be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to lend funds hereunder in its capacity
as Administrative Agent. Subject to receipt by the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower confirming
the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2,
and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such funds from the Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall make the proceeds of such
requested Advances available to the Borrower by deposit to such account as may be designated by the Borrower (in a written notice
received by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to such Advance Date) in same
day funds no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Advance Date.


 


(a)          Committed
Lender’s Commitment. At no time will any Uncommitted Lender have any obligation to fund an Advance. At all times on and
after the Conduit Advance Termination Date, all Advances shall be made by the Agent on behalf of the applicable Committed Lenders.
At any time when any Uncommitted Lender has failed to or has rejected a request to fund an Advance, its Agent shall so notify the
Related Committed Lender and such Related Committed Lender shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 2.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to provide its
Agent or the Borrower with funds in connection with an Advance in an amount that would result in the portion of the Advances then
funded by it exceeding its Commitment then in effect. The obligation of the Committed Lender in each Lender Group to remit any
Advance shall be several from that of the other Lenders, and the failure of any Committed Lender to so make such amount available
to its Agent shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation hereunder.


 




    	-38-



    	 



    

 


(b)          Unfunded
Commitment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) any acceleration
of the maturity of Advances pursuant to Section 14.2 or (ii) the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower shall request
an Advance in the amount of the Aggregate Unfunded Amount. Following receipt of such Advance Request, the Lenders shall fund such
Advance by depositing an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Unfunded Amount directly to the Collateral Custodian to be deposited
into the Unfunded Exposure Account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s
failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2).


 


Section 2.3           Notes.
The Borrower shall, on or prior to the Effective Date and any later date on which any Lender Group becomes a party hereto by assignment
or otherwise, as applicable, execute and deliver a Note evidencing the Advances of each Lender Group. Each such Note shall be
payable to the order of the Agent for such Lender Group in a face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group’s Commitment
as of the Effective Date or the effective date on which such Lender Group becomes a party hereto, as applicable. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Notes
(or on any continuation of such grid, or at the option of such Agent, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence,
inter alia, the date of the outstanding principal of the Advances evidenced thereby and each payment of principal
thereon. Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided,
that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any payment thereon.


 


Section
2.4           Repayment and Prepayments.
(a) The Borrower shall repay in full the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances on the Facility Termination Date.


 


(a)          Prior
to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower may, from time to time, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the
outstanding principal amount of any Advance using Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account or other
funds available to the Borrower on such date; provided, that


 


(i)          all
such voluntary prepayments shall require prior written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days prior
to such voluntary prepayment;


 


(ii)         all
such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000; and


 


(iii)        each
prepayment shall be applied on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent if received by 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
on such day by the Administrative Agent as Amounts Available constituting Principal Collections pursuant to Section 8.3(a)
as if (x) the date of such prepayment were a Distribution Date and (y) such prepayment occurred during the Collection
Period to which such Distribution Date relates.


 


Each such prepayment shall be subject to
the payment of any amounts required by Section 2.5(b) (if any) resulting from a prepayment or payment.


 




    	-39-



    	 



    

 


Section
2.5           Permanent Reduction of Facility Amount.
(a) The Borrower may at any time upon five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently reduce
the Facility Amount (i) in whole or in part upon payment in full (in accordance with Section 2.4)
of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances) or (ii) in part by any pro rata amount that the Facility
Amount exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment thereof).
In connection with any permanent reduction of the Facility Amount under this Section 2.5(a),
the Commitment of each Committed Lender shall automatically, and without any further action by any party, be reduced pro rata
with all other Committed Lenders such that the sum of all Commitments will equal the newly reduced Facility Amount.


 


(a)          As
a condition precedent to any permanent reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders, any applicable Prepayment Fee; provided that
no Prepayment Fee shall be payable if, as of the date of such permanent reduction (i) the Borrower has made an Extension Request
in accordance with Section 2.6 that has been declined by the Administrative Agent and (ii) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing.


 


Section
2.6           Extension of Revolving Period.
The Borrower may, at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the date that is ten Business Days
prior to the last date of the Revolving Period, deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent requesting an extension of
the Revolving Period for an additional twelve months (an “Extension Request”).
The Administrative Agent may approve or decline an Extension Request in its sole discretion. No request by the Borrower to extend
the Revolving Period shall be considered an “Extension Request” if such request is conditioned on an amendment to
any other provision of the Transaction Documents. 


 


Section
2.7           Calculation of Discount Factor.


 


(a)          In
connection with the purchase of each Collateral Obligation and prior to such Collateral Obligation being purchased by the Borrower
and included in the Collateral, the Administrative Agent will assign (in its sole discretion) a Discount Factor for such Collateral
Obligation.


 


(b)          If,
but only if, a Revaluation Event occurs with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation
may be amended by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion (but subject to the following clause (c)).


 


(c)          If,
with respect to any Collateral Obligation (i) the first Revaluation Event described in clause (g) of the definition thereof occurs
with respect to such Collateral Obligation, (ii) the current Leverage Multiple with respect to such Collateral Obligation is less
than 2x higher than the Original Leverage Multiple for such Collateral Obligation and (iii) no other Revaluation Event has occurred
with respect to such Collateral Obligation, then the Discount Factor for such Collateral Obligation may only be decreased by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (b) above by a percentage equal to (x) 1 minus (y)(A) the Original Leverage Multiple
for such Collateral Obligation divided by (B) the then-current Leverage Multiple for such Collateral Obligation.


 


(d)          The
Administrative Agent will provide written notice of each revised Discount Factor to the Borrower, the Investment Manager and the
Collateral Agent.

Section
2.8           Increase in Facility Amount.
The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be conditioned on one or more conditions
precedent in its sole discretion), (i) add additional Lender Groups and/or (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender Group, in
each case which shall increase the Facility Amount by the amount of the Commitment of each such existing or additional Lender Group,
provided that the Facility Amount shall not increase beyond $100,000,000.00. 


 


Article
III



YIELD, UNDRAWN FEE, ETC.


 


Section
3.1           Yield and Undrawn Fee.
(a)  The Borrower hereby promises to pay, on the dates specified in Section 3.2,
Yield on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance (or each portion thereof) for the period commencing on the applicable Advance
Date until such Advance is paid in full. No provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall require the payment or permit the collection
of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.


 


(a)          The
Borrower shall pay the Undrawn Fee on the dates specified in Section 3.2.


 


Section
3.2           Yield Distribution Dates.
Yield accrued on each Advance (including any previously accrued and unpaid Yield) and Undrawn Fee (as applicable) shall be payable,
without duplication:


 


(a)          on
the Facility Termination Date;


 


(b)          on
the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Advance; and


 


(c)          on
each Distribution Date.


 


Section
3.3           Yield Calculation.
Each Note shall bear interest on each day during each Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the product of (a) the
Interest Rate for such Accrual Period multiplied by (b) the outstanding
Advances attributable to such Note on such day. All Yield shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including
the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such Yield is payable over a year comprised of
360 days.


 


Section
3.4           Computation of Yield, Fees, Etc.
Each Agent (on behalf of its respective Lender Group) and the Administrative Agent shall determine the applicable Yield and all
Fees to be paid by the Borrower on each Distribution Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Collateral Agent
thereof in writing no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Such reporting may also include
an accounting of any amounts due and payable pursuant to Sections 4.3 and
5.1.

PAYMENTS; TAXES


 


Section
4.1           Making of Payments.
Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions hereof, all payments of principal of or Yield on the Advances and other amounts
due to the Lenders shall be made pursuant to Section 8.3(a) by no
later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available
funds. Payments received by any Lender or Agent after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day will be deemed to have been received
by such Lender or Agent on its next following Business Day. Each Agent shall allocate to the Lenders in its Lender Group each
payment in respect of the Advances received by such Agent as provided by Section 8.3
or Section 2.4. Payments in reduction of the principal amount of the Advances
shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based on their respective portions of such Advances, or in any such
case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Agent and the Borrower.
Payments of Yield and Undrawn Fee shall be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based upon the respective amounts
of interest and fees due and payable to them.


 


Section
4.2           Due Date Extension.
If any payment of principal or Yield with respect to any Advance falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due
date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and additional Yield shall accrue and be payable for the period of such
extension at the rate applicable to such Advance.


 


Section
4.3           Taxes.
(a)  Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes,
except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding
Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding
Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower
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 4.3) the applicable
Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 


(a)          Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable
law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes not paid pursuant to
Section 4.3(a).


 




    	-42-



    	 



    

 


(b)          Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient within 30 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 4.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient 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 Official Body; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall
not be required to indemnify a Recipient under this Section 4.3(c) for expenses arising from or with respect to Indemnified
Taxes to the extent that Borrower has indemnified such Recipient for such Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.3(c)
and such expenses arise as a result of such Recipient’s failure to remit such payment by the Borrower to the appropriate
Official Body or as a result of such Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(c)          Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally 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 Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative
Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register
and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any
Transaction 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 Section 4.3(d).


 


(d)          Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section
4.3, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official
Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.


 


(e)          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 Transaction
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower 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 4.3(f)(ii)(A), Section 4.3(f)(ii)(B) and Section 4.3(f)(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.


 



    	-43-



    	 



    

 





(ii)         Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:


 


(A)         any
Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower
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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed originals of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;


 


(B)         any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent)
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 (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;


 


 (II)        executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(III)       in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x)
a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or


 




    	-44-



    	 



    

 


(IV)        to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form
W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender
is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of
each such direct and indirect partner;


 


(C)         any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
to (x) comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA or (y) determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.


 


Each Lender agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update
such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do
so.

(f)          Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund
of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official
Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified
party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to
an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable
net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving
rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 4.3(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to
make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying
party or any other Person.


 


(g)          Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations
under any Transaction Document.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change following the date hereof (including, without limitation,
any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application
arising following the date hereof of any Applicable Law, in each case whether foreign or domestic or (ii) the compliance
with any guideline or request following the date hereof from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the
force of law), (A) there shall be any increase in the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Agent, any Lender, successor or assign
thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Person”)
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal,
interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Person hereunder), as the case may be, (B) there shall be any reduction
in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document,
or (C) any Recipient is subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes)
on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto, then, in each case, the Borrower shall, from time to time, after written demand by the Administrative
Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf
of such Affected Person, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs or reduced payments within thirty (30) days after such demand; provided,
that the amounts payable under this Section 5.1 shall be without duplication
of amounts payable under Section 4.3.

portfolio review of such Obligor (which, for any individual Obligor, shall occur no less frequently than quarterly) (i) any financial
reporting packages with respect to such Obligor and with respect to each Collateral Obligation for such Obligor (including any
attached or included information, statements and calculations) received by the Borrower and/or the Investment Manager as of the
date of the Investment Manager’s most recent portfolio review and (ii) the internal monitoring report prepared by the Investment
Manager with respect to such Obligor. In no case, however, shall the Investment Manager be obligated hereunder to deliver such
Obligor reports to the Administrative Agent more than once per calendar month. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall cause the Investment Manager to provide such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect
to any Collateral Obligation (other than any Ineligible Asset) or Obligor (to the extent reasonably available to the Investment
Manager); provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to cause the Investment Manager to provide any information with
respect to any Obligor that is subject to confidentiality restrictions disclosed on the related Asset Approval Request and approved
on the related Asset Approval Notice.


 


(m)          Commingling.

foregoing, the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to supply in a timely fashion any information maintained by it that
the Collateral Agent may from time to time request with respect to the Collateral Obligations and reasonably necessary to complete

Section
7.9           Procedural Review of Collateral Obligations; Access
to Investment Manager and Investment Manager’s Records. (a)  The
Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to, at the Borrower’s expense, retain Protiviti, Inc. (or another nationally
recognized audit firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to conduct and complete a procedural review
of the Collateral Obligations in compliance with the standards set forth on Exhibit B
hereto, (a) within three months following the Effective Date and (ii) once per six months thereafter, in each case at the request
of the Administrative Agent, with respect to the previous calendar year. The Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to promptly
forward the results of such audit to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.


 


(a)          The
Borrower shall, and shall cause the Investment Manager to, at the Borrower’s expense, permit representatives of the Administrative
Agent at any time and from time to time as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request (a) to inspect and make copies
of and abstracts from its records relating to the Collateral Obligations, and (b) to visit its properties in connection with
the collection, processing or managing of the Collateral Obligations for the purpose of examining such records, and to discuss
matters relating to the Collateral Obligations or such Person’s performance under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents with any officer or employee or auditor (if any) of such Person having knowledge of such matters. The Borrower agrees,
and will cause the Investment Manager, to render to the Administrative Agent such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably
requested with regard to the foregoing; provided, that such assistance shall not
interfere in any material respect with the Investment Manager’s business and operations. So long as no Unmatured Facility
Termination Event, Facility Termination Event, Unmatured Investment Manager Event or Investment Manager Event has occurred and
is continuing, such visits and inspections shall occur only (i) upon five Business Days’ prior written notice, (ii) during
normal business hours and (iii) no more than twice in any calendar year. During the existence of an Unmatured Facility Termination
Event, a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Investment Manager Event or an Investment Manager Event, there shall be no limit
on the timing or number of such inspections and no prior notice will be required before any inspection.

(b)          The
Borrower shall, and shall cause the Investment Manager to, at the Borrower’s expense and as applicable, provide to the Administrative
Agent access to the Collateral Obligations and all other documents regarding the Collateral Obligations included as part of the
Collateral and the Related Security in each case, in its possession, in such cases where the Administrative Agent is required in
connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Lenders, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review
such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two Business Days’ prior written notice
(so long as no Unmatured Facility Termination Event, Facility Termination Event or Investment Manager Event has occurred and is
continuing), (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) up to twice per calendar year (so long as no Unmatured Facility Termination
Event, Facility Termination Event or Investment Manager Event has occurred and is continuing). From and after the Effective Date
and periodically thereafter at the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may review the Borrower’s
and the Investment Manager’s collection and administration of the Collateral Obligations in order to assess compliance by
the Investment Manager with the Investment Manager’s written policies and procedures, as well as this Agreement and may,
no more than twice in any calendar year, conduct an audit of the Collateral Obligations and Records in conjunction with such review.


 


(c)          Nothing
in this Section 7.9 shall derogate from the obligation of the Borrower and the Investment Manager to observe any Applicable
Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Investment Manager to provide access as
a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 7.9.


 


Section

of such Optional Sale);


 




    	-59-

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent written notice of such Optional Sale, which notice shall
identify the related Collateral subject to such optional sale and the expected proceeds from such Optional Sale and include (x)
an Officer’s Certificate computed as of the date of such request and after giving effect to such Optional Sale, demonstrating
that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, calculated as of the date
of the Optional Sale as if the Collateral Obligations sold by the Borrower on such date had been sold by the Borrower and certifying
that clauses (A) and (C) above and all other conditions set forth herein are satisfied and (y) a certificate of the Investment
Manager substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 requesting the release of the related Collateral Obligation File in connection
with such Optional Sale;


 


(iii)        such
Optional Sale shall be made by the Investment Manager, on behalf of the Borrower (A) in accordance with the Investment Management
Standard, (B) reflecting arm’s length market terms and (C) in a transaction in which the Borrower makes no representations,
warranties or covenants and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party (other than those which are customarily
made or provided in connection with the sale of assets of such type);


 


(iv)        if
such Optional Sale is to an Affiliate of the Borrower or the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent has given its prior written
consent; and


 


(v)         on
the date of such Optional Sale, all proceeds from such Optional Sale will be sent directly into the Collection Account.


 


(b)          In
connection with any Optional Sale, following deposit of all proceeds from such Optional Sale into the Collection Account, the Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to release and transfer to the Borrower without recourse, representation or warranty all of the right, title
and interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Collateral Obligation(s) and
related Collateral subject to such Optional Sale and such portion of the Collateral so transferred shall be released from the Lien
of this Agreement.


 


(c)          The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable and documented outside counsel legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and each Lender in connection with any Optional Sale (including, but not
limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
in the Collateral in connection with such Optional Sale).


 


(d)          In
connection with any Optional Sale, the Collateral Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such instruments of
release with respect to the portion of the Collateral subject to such Optional Sale to the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary,

In the event of a breach of Section 9.5, Section 9.13
or Section 9.26 or of a material breach of any other representation,
warranty, undertaking or covenant set forth in Section 24(k) of the Investment Management Agreement, Article IX,
Article X, Section 18.3
or Section 18.5(b) with respect to a Collateral Obligation (or the Related

Article
VIII



ACCOUNTS; PAYMENTS


 


Section
8.1           Accounts.
(a)  On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall establish each Account in the name of the Borrower and each
Account shall be a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account established with the Securities Intermediary, who shall forward
funds from the Collection Account to the Collateral Agent for application by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
8.3 and the applicable Monthly Report. If at any time a Responsible Officer obtains
actual knowledge that any Account ceases to be an Eligible Account (with notice to the Investment Manager and the Administrative
Agent), then the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to transfer such account to another institution such that such account
shall meet the requirements of an Eligible Account.


 


Except as set
forth below, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn at the direction of the Borrower or the Investment
Manager (i) to fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Variable Funding Asset, or (ii) to make a deposit into
the Collections Account as Principal Collections if, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate amount on deposit in
the Unfunded Exposure Account is equal to or greater than the Aggregate Unfunded Amount.


 


Following the
Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to forward any draw request made by an Obligor under
a Variable Funding Asset, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) along with an instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw the applicable amount from the Unfunded
Exposure Account and a certification that the conditions to fund such draw are satisfied, and the Collateral Custodian shall fund
such draw request in accordance with such instructions from the Investment Manager.


 


Following
the end of the Revolving Period, if the Borrower shall receive any Principal Collections from an Obligor with respect to a Variable
Funding Asset and, as of the date of such receipt (and after taking into account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit
in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Amount (the amount of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded
Exposure Shortfall”), the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to direct the Collateral Custodian to and the Collateral
Custodian shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the lesser of (a) the
aggregate amount of such Principal Collections and (b) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall.


 




    	-62-



    	 



    

 


(a)          All
amounts held in any Account shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be invested by the Collateral Custodian, as directed
by the Investment Manager in writing (or, if the Investment Manager fails to provide such direction, such amounts shall remain
uninvested), in Permitted Investments that mature (i) with respect to the Collection Account, not later than one Business Day prior
to the Distribution Date for the Collection Period to which such amounts relate and (ii) with respect to the Unfunded Exposure
Account, on the immediately following Business Day. Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized
by this Section 8.1. Investments in Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Collateral Custodian, and,
except as specifically required below, such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. If any amounts
are needed for disbursement from the Collection Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such
disbursement, the Collateral Custodian shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments
in such account to make such disbursement in accordance with and upon the written direction of the Investment Manager or, if the
Investment Manager shall fail to give such direction, the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall, upon written request,
provide the Administrative Agent with all information in its possession regarding transfer into and out of the Collection Account
(including, but not limited to, the identity of the counterparty making or receiving such transfer). In no event shall the Collateral
Agent or the Collateral Custodian be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith, or for
any failure of the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to timely provide investment instruction to the
Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to receive
additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s or the Collateral Custodian’s economic
self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments,
and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable
or payable pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(b)          Neither
the Borrower nor the Investment Manager shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in the Collection
Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b), Section 8.2, or Section
8.3(b).


 


Subject to the other
provisions hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have sole Control over each Account and each such investment and the income thereon,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent or its
agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Collateral Agent
in a manner that complies with this Section 8.1. All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or
earnings on, investments of funds in the Accounts shall be deposited or transferred to the Collection Account and distributed pursuant
to Section 8.3(a).


 


(c)          The
Equityholder may, from time to time in its sole discretion (x) deposit amounts into the Principal Collection Account and/or (y)
transfer Eligible Collateral Obligations as equity contributions to the Borrower. All such amounts will be included in each applicable
compliance calculation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, calculation of the Borrowing Base and clause (ii) of
the Minimum Diversification Condition.


 


Section
8.2           Excluded Amounts.
The Borrower may cause the Investment Manager to direct the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the
applicable Account and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Investment
Manager has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral
Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, which report shall include a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting such request and designate a date
for the payment of such reimbursement, which date shall not be earlier than two (2) Business Days following delivery of such notice.

Borrower shall have given written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of the proposed Reinvestment at or

Lenders, the Agents and the Administrative Agent that:


 


Section

the Collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. From time to time thereafter, the Borrower
shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places
as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Collateral Agent in favor of the Secured
Parties under this Agreement in the Collateral and in the proceeds thereof. The Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered)
to the Collateral Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available
following such filing. In the event that the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Collateral Agent
or the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) do so, in each case at the expense of the Borrower, however neither
the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability in connection therewith.


 


(a)          The
Borrower shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation
statement filed by the Borrower (or by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Borrower) in accordance with subsection (a)
above seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent at least 30 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to
all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements (and shall provide a copy of such amendments to the Collateral
Agent and Administrative Agent together with an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that all appropriate amendments or other
documents in respect of previously filed statements have been filed).


 




    	-73-



    	 



    

 


(b)          The
Borrower shall maintain its computer systems, if any, so that, from and after the time of the first Advance under this Agreement,
the Borrower’s master computer records (including archives) that shall refer to the Collateral indicate clearly that such
Collateral is subject to the first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties. Indication of the Collateral Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) security interest shall be deleted
from or modified on the Borrower’s computer systems when, and only when, the Collateral in question shall have been paid
in full, the security interest under this Agreement has been released in accordance with its terms, upon such Collateral Obligation
becoming a Repurchased Collateral Obligation, Substituted Collateral Obligation or otherwise as expressly permitted by this Agreement.


 


(c)          Without
limiting any of the other provisions hereof, if at any time the Borrower shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or
otherwise transfer any interest in loan receivables to any prospective lender or other transferee, the Borrower shall give to such
prospective lender or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they
shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Collateral shall indicate clearly that such Collateral is subject to a first priority
security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

and interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and the Lenders in and to the Collateral against
all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Borrower (other than Permitted Liens).

receives notice of such cessation or termination, as the case may be.

In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of

presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of a request, instruction,
document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that they conform
on their face to the form required by such provision. For avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on Borrowing

taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, or taken by it
pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack
of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith,
or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case
of its willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.


 


(c)          The
Collateral Agent makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement)
as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the
Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder
that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it.

(g)          In
case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, prior to the occurrence of a Facility
Termination Event, request instructions from the Investment Manager and may, after the occurrence of a Facility Termination Event,
request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless
it has received written instructions from the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent
shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of
the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage
of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 


(h)          In

Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s

by the Borrower, the Investment Manager and the Administrative Agent that application and performance by the Collateral Agent of
its various duties hereunder (including, without limitation, recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated
hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notice provided to it by the Investment Manager, the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Collateral Obligation, and the
Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and
shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty
or obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine
or monitor on an independent basis whether any issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents
governing or securing such securities, from time to time.

omissions of the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, and shall have no liability for
any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information
or data received by it from the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent or another Person except to the extent

the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (or any other Person authorized or permitted to direct the Collateral Agent
hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent (or such other Person) shall have offered the Collateral

or elsewhere in accordance with Applicable Law. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least ten days’ notice to the Borrower 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 Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may adjourn
any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect
of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (after payment of any amounts incurred
in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and to be applied against all or any part of the outstanding

Agent (in its sole discretion).


 


Section
13.4         Collateral Agent May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.  All
rights of action and of asserting claims under the Transaction Documents, may be enforced by the Collateral Agent without the possession
of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted
by the Collateral Agent shall be brought in its own name as Collateral Agent and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment
of the reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Collateral Agent each predecessor
Collateral Agent and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes and other
Secured Parties.

any proceedings brought by the Collateral Agent to enforce the Liens under the Transaction Documents (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of any Transaction Document), the Collateral Agent shall be held to represent all

have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered but without any obligation, subject
to Section 13.9(a), by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:


 


(a)          to

to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) and of each of the other Secured Parties allowed in such
proceedings;


 


(b)          unless
prohibited by Applicable Law and regulations, to vote (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the holders of
the Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person performing similar functions in any such proceedings;


 


(c)          to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received

Section
13.7         Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No
delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Facility

therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 13.7 or by law to
the Collateral Agent or to the other Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient,
by the Collateral Agent or by the other Secured Parties, as the case may be.


 


Section
13.8         Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The
Borrower waives and covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement
of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any
remedies under this Agreement; and the Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits
or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(a)          Neither
the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Custodian shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral
or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation

give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers
of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver

disposition, the Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder
and pursuant hereto, and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction
Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall
ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent all proper bills of sale,
assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.


 


(a)          No
person to whom this power of attorney is presented as authority for the Collateral Agent to take any action or actions contemplated

action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to the power of attorney described in clause
(a), which is intended to grant to the Collateral Agent unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated
herein, and the Borrower irrevocably waives any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity
that acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney. The power of attorney granted in
clause (a) is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or canceled by the Borrower until all obligations of the Borrower
under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full and the Collateral Agent has provided its written consent thereto.

Section
14.4         Reliance by Note Agents.
Each Note Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to each of the Lenders), Independent Accountants
and other experts selected by such Note Agent. Each Note Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or
therewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders, as it deems appropriate, or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, by the Lenders or (ii) in the case of an Agent, by
the Lenders in its Lender Group, against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith
in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,

and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders in such Lender Group.


 


Section
14.5         Notices. No Note
Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of any Facility
Termination Event unless it has received notice from the Investment Manager, the Borrower or any Lender, referring to this Agreement
and describing such event. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof

in its Lender holding greater than 50% of the outstanding Advances held by such Lender Group; provided,
that unless and until such Note Agent shall have received such directions, such Note Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests
of the Lenders or of the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable.


 


Section
14.6         Non-Reliance on Note Agents.
The Lenders expressly acknowledge that no Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Note Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Investment Manager, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
such Note Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Note Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower,
the Investment Manager, and the Collateral Obligations and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder
and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent
or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Investment Manager, and the Collateral Obligations. Except as expressly provided herein,
no Note Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Collateral
or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Investment
Manager or the Lenders which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

In no event shall the
Administrative Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including,
but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance
of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war
(whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations,
governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.


 


Section
14.7         Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Investment Manager under the Transaction Documents, and without limiting the obligation
of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts
of their Advances from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Administrative Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened,
whether or not the Administrative Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any
way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other
document furnished in connection herewith or therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent or such affected Person).


 


Section
14.8         Successor Note Agent.
If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint
a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent,
and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment,
and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any
other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Any Agent
may resign as Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to
the Borrower) with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the
Agent pursuant to this Section 14.8. If an Agent shall resign as Agent
under this Agreement, then Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than 50% of the outstanding Advances held by such Lender
Group shall appoint a successor agent for such Lender Group. After any Note Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Note Agent under this Agreement. No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective
until a successor Note Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent hereunder; provided,
that in the event a successor Note Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such notice of its resignation is given as permitted
by this Section 14.8, the applicable Note Agent may petition a court
for its removal.

Section
14.9         Note Agents in their Individual Capacity.
Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrower or the Investment Manager as though such Note Agent were not an agent hereunder. Any Person which is a Note Agent may
act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator
or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.

Registrar”), shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address
of each Lender (including any assignees), and the principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to such Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Note Register”). 
The entries in the Note Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative
Agent, each Agent and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Note Register pursuant to the terms hereof

holders (or their agents or nominees) of the Advances and to any assignee (in accordance with Section 15.1) (or its
agent or nominee) of all or a portion of the Advances. The Note Registrar shall not register (or cause to be registered) the transfer
of such Note, unless the proposed transferee shall have delivered to the Note Registrar either (i) an Opinion of Counsel that
the transfer of such Note is exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable
state securities laws and that the transfer does not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or

and the restrictions noted on the face of such Note.


 


(b)          At

denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount.


 


(d)          All
Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall
be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as
the Note(s) surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


(e)          Every
Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Borrower or the Note Registrar)
be fully endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar, duly executed
by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

any registration of transfer of exchange of a Note, other than exchanges pursuant to this Section 15.5.

Note Registrar) in exchange therefor a new Note of like class and tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.


 


(a)          If
there shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Note Registrar prior to the payment of the Notes (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower or the Note Registrar that such
Note has been acquired by a bona fide Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Note Registrar), in lieu
of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like class, tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.


 


(b)          Upon
the issuance of any new Note under this Section 15.6, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
connected therewith.


 


(c)          Every
new Note issued pursuant to this Section 15.6 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement
equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.


 


(d)          The
provisions of this Section 15.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies
with respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.

in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 15.8,
except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.


 


Section
15.9         Participations; Pledge.
(a)  At any time and from time to time, each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time grant participations
in all or a portion of its Note and/or its interest in the Advances and other payments due to it under this Agreement to any Person
(each, a “Participant”).
Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) any such participation will not alter or affect such Lender’s direct
obligations hereunder, and (B) none of the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Collateral
Agent nor the Investment Manager shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship with any Participant. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3
and Section 5.1 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including
the requirements under Section 4.3(f) (it being understood that the documentation
required under Section 4.3(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender,
which shall deliver such documentation to the Borrower as appropriate under Section 4.3(f)))
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Article XV;
provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions
of Section 17.16 as if it were an assignee under this Article
XV; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
4.3 or Section 5.1, with respect
to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that (1) if such
participation is made to any Person other than an Affiliate of the participating Lender or to another Lender hereunder, such participation
is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and
(2) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Applicable Law that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 17.16(b)
with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
17.1 as though it were a Lender.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything in Section 15.9(a) to the contrary, each Lender may pledge its interest in the Advances and the Notes to any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with Applicable Law without the prior written consent of any Person.


 


(b)          Each
Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the obligations under the Transaction Documents
(the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such 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.

INDEMNIFICATION


 


Section
16.1         Borrower Indemnity.
Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower agrees to indemnify
the Administrative Agent, the Agents, the Lenders, the Note Registrar, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent and each
of their Affiliates, and each of their respective successors, transferees, participants and assigns 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 (including punitive damages), losses, claims, liabilities and related
costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements (all of
the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”)
awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or the use of proceeds therefrom by the Borrower, including in respect of the funding of any Advance or any breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Borrower or the Investment Manager in any Transaction Document or in any certificate
or other written material delivered by any of them pursuant to any Transaction Document, excluding,
however, Indemnified Amounts payable
to an Indemnified Party (a) 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 and (b) resulting from the performance of the Collateral Obligations.



 


Indemnification under this Section 16.1
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of any Indemnified Party and shall include reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.


 


Section
16.2         Reserved.


 


Section
16.3         Contribution.
If for any reason (other than the exclusions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1)
the indemnification provided above in Section 16.1 is unavailable to
an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower agrees to contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates,
on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates,
on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.


 




    	-108-



    	 



    

 


Section
16.4         After-Tax Basis.
Indemnification under Section 16.1 and Section 16.2
shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified
Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder (or of the incurrence of the underlying damage, cost or expense), including
the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified
Party (and the effect of any deduction or loss realized by the Indemnified Party).

(a)          The
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, each Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to
itself only, covenants and agrees that any information about the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Obligors, the Collateral Obligations,
the Related Security or otherwise obtained by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Agreement
shall be held in confidence (it being understood that documents provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder may in all cases
be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders) except that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Custodian or such Lender may disclose such information (i) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel,
accountants, auditors, advisors or representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public
other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or
such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential
basis prior to its disclosure to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, (iv) with the consent of the Investment
Manager, (v) to the extent permitted by Article XV, or (vi) to the extent the Administrative Agent or such

(including, without limitation, opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment
and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for

(a)          If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.1, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Lender or Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.3, then such Lender shall (at
the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Obligations
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section
5.1, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 




    	-113-



    	 



    

 


(b)          At
any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, to replace any Lender,
except (i) the Administrative Agent or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate
of the Administrative Agent, that (a) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing pursuant to Section
4.3 or Section 5.1 or (b) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would
entitle such Lender to payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, unless such Lender designates
a different lending office before such change in law becomes effective pursuant to Section 17.16(a) and such alternate lending
office obviates the need for the Borrower to make payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1
or (c) has not consented to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 17.2
or (d) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder; provided, that
(i) nothing herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its
failure to make any Advance, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts
owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) during the Revolving Period, the replacement financial
institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iv) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5, (v) until such
time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Taxes,
as the case may be, (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (vii) if such replacement is being effected as a result
of a Lender requesting compensation pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, such replacement, if effected, will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payment thereafter. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement,
no Lender removed or replaced under the provisions hereof shall have any right to receive any amounts set forth in Section 2.5(b)
in connection with such removal or replacement. 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 Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.


 


Section
17.17        Consent to Jurisdiction.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in

irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they
may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto
agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

manager, member or partner of any such member or any of their respective past, present or future incorporators, directors, officers,
employees, agents, stockholders, managers, members or partners (including, without limitation, the Investment Manager, any Affiliates
of the Investment Manager (other than the Borrower) and the Equityholder), other than interests in the Borrower’s assets,
and in no event shall any such Person be held liable, personally or otherwise, with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes, the Loans or for any other obligations under this Agreement, whether by virtue of any statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender; provided that nothing set forth herein shall
limit any liability that (a) the Investment Manager may have to the Borrower pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement or
(b) the Equityholder may have to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale Agreement.


 


Section
17.19       No Petition.
Each of the parties hereto (other than the Borrower) covenants and agrees that no party hereto shall commence or otherwise institute
against the Borrower or the Equityholder any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or
other similar proceedings. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 18.1.

(ii)         With
respect to each Collateral Obligation File which has been or will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian
is acting exclusively as the custodian of the Secured Parties, and has no instructions to hold any Collateral Obligation File for
the benefit of any Person other than the Secured Parties and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically

part of a Collateral Obligation File shall be released from the possession of the Collateral Custodian.


 


(iii)        The
Collateral Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all items in its possession in secure facilities in accordance with customary
standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the interest of the Secured Parties therein. Each Collateral Obligation
File which comes into the possession of the Collateral Agent (other than documents delivered electronically) shall be maintained
in fire-resistant vaults or cabinets at the office of the Collateral Custodian. Each Collateral Obligation File shall be marked

and the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall keep the Collateral Obligation Files clearly segregated from any other
documents or instruments in its files.

respect to the documents comprising each Collateral Obligation File, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as
Collateral Custodian for the Secured Parties, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Collateral Obligation File received
by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Administrative Agent; provided, that in the event of
a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s
written instructions shall control.


 


(v)         The
Collateral Custodian shall accept only written instructions of an Executive Officer, in the case of the Borrower or the Investment
Manager, or a Responsible Officer, in the case of the Administrative Agent, concerning the use, handling and disposition of the
Collateral Obligation Files.

(vi)        In
the event that (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Investment Manager, the Collateral Custodian or the Collateral
Agent shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Collateral Obligation
File or a document included within a Collateral Obligation File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding
by which any Collateral Obligation File or a document included within a Collateral Obligation File shall be required to be delivered
otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or
cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law) copies of all court
papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Collateral Custodian shall, to the extent permitted
by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Collateral Obligation Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final,
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination
of such court, the Collateral Custodian shall dispose of such Collateral Obligation File or a document included within such Collateral
Obligation File as directed by the Administrative Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses
of the Collateral Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower.


 


(vii)       The
Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions
which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall
not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall
be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided
that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any
Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall
be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian
to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect
thereto). In the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian does
not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt
of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.


 


(viii)      The
Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction
of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian,
or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder,
including a Facility Termination Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Custodian has knowledge of such matter or
written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian.


 


Section
18.3         Delivery of Collateral Obligation Files.
(a)  In connection with each delivery of a Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower shall
represent, warrant and agree that the Collateral Obligation Files delivered to the Collateral Custodian shall include all of the
documents listed in the related Document Checklist and all of such documents and the information contained in the Schedule of Collateral
Obligations are complete in all material respects and correct pursuant to a certification in the form of Exhibit H
executed by or on behalf of the Borrower.


 




    	-117-



    	 



    

 


(a)          Reserved.


 


(b)          With
respect to any documents comprising the Collateral Obligation File that have been delivered or are being delivered to recording
offices for recording and have not been returned to the Borrower or the Investment Manager in time to permit their delivery hereunder
at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, the Borrower or the Investment Manager shall indicate such
on a Schedule of Collateral Obligations supplement and deliver to the Collateral Custodian a true copy thereof. The Borrower or
the Investment Manager shall deliver such original documents to the Collateral Custodian promptly when they are received.


 


Section
18.4         Collateral Obligation File Certification.
(a)  On or prior to each Funding Date, the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to provide a Schedule of Collateral
Obligations and related Document Checklist dated as of such Funding Date to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent
(such information contained on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations shall also be delivered to the Collateral Custodian and the
Administrative Agent simultaneously in Microsoft Excel format) with respect to the Collateral Obligations to be delivered to the
Collateral Agent on such Funding Date.


 


(a)          In
connection with (and as a part of) each Monthly Report, with respect to the Collateral Obligation Files delivered on or prior to
the related Determination Date, the Collateral Custodian shall prepare a report (to be included as a part of each Monthly Report)
in respect of such Collateral Obligations, to the effect that, based on the Collateral Custodian’s examination of the Collateral
Obligation File for each Collateral Obligation and the related Document Checklist, except for variances from the documents identified
in the Document Checklist with respect to the related Collateral Obligation Files (“Exceptions”),
(i) all documents set forth on the Document Checklist in respect of such Collateral Obligations pursuant to the Document Checklist
have been delivered and are in the possession of the Collateral Custodian as part of the Collateral Obligation File for such Collateral
Obligation (other than those released pursuant to Section 18.5), and (ii) all such documents have been reviewed
by the Collateral Custodian and appear on their face to be regular and to relate to such Collateral Obligation. The Collateral
Custodian shall also maintain records of the total number of Collateral Obligation Files that have Exceptions and will include
such total in each Monthly Report. Other than as set forth in this Article XVIII, the Collateral Custodian shall have no
obligation to review the documents in each Collateral Obligation File.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
any language to the contrary herein, the Collateral Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible
to verify, (i) the validity, legality, ownership, title, perfection, priority, enforceability, due authorization, recordability,
sufficiency for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Collateral Obligation File or (ii) the
collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Collateral Obligation.

Section
18.5         Release of Collateral Obligation Files.
(a)  Upon satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 12.3,
the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to provide an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Collateral Custodian
(with a copy to the Collateral Agent) and shall request in writing delivery to it of the Collateral Obligation File and a copy
thereof shall be sent concurrently by the Investment Manager to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, unless it receives notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall within three Business
Days release the related Collateral Obligation File to the Investment Manager and the Investment Manager will not be required to
return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian.


 


(a)          From
time to time and as appropriate for the management or foreclosure of any of the Collateral Obligations, including, for this purpose,
collection under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral Obligations, the Collateral Custodian shall, upon receipt of a
Request for Release and Receipt substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 from an authorized representative of the Investment
Manager (as listed on Exhibit F-1, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Investment Manager with notice
to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent), release the related Collateral Obligation File or the documents set
forth in such Request for Release and Receipt to the Investment Manager. In the event an Unmatured Facility Termination Event,
a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Investment Manager Event or an Investment Manager Event has occurred and is continuing,
the Borrower shall not permit the Investment Manager to make any such request with respect to any original documents unless the
Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such
request). The Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to return each and every original document previously requested from
the Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian when the need therefor by the Investment Manager no longer exists unless
(x) the Collateral Obligation File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Related
Security either judicially or non-judicially, and (y) the Investment Manager has delivered to the Collateral Custodian a certificate
executed by an Executive Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Collateral Obligation File or
such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery, in which case the Investment Manager shall complete such
return as soon as possible.. Upon receipt of a certificate of the Investment Manager substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3,
with a copy to the Administrative Agent, stating that such Collateral Obligation was either (x) liquidated and that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited have been so deposited, or (y)
sold pursuant to an Optional Sale in accordance with Section 7.10, the Collateral Custodian shall within three (3) Business
Days release the Request for Release and Receipt to the Investment Manager, or, in connection with an Optional Sale, the requested
Collateral Obligation File, and the Investment Manager will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to
the Collateral Custodian.


 




    	-119-



    	 



    

 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Borrower shall not permit the Investment Manager to, without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, request any documents (other than copies thereof) held by the Collateral Custodian if the sum of the
unpaid Principal Balances of all Collateral Obligations for which the Investment Manager is then in possession of the related Collateral
Obligation File or any document comprising such Collateral Obligation File (other than for Collateral Obligations then held by
the Investment Manager which have been sold, repurchased, paid off or liquidated in accordance with this Agreement) (including
the documents to be requested) exceeds 5% of the Adjusted Aggregate Eligible Collateral Obligation Balance. The Investment Manager
may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents and all other property included in the Collateral that it may
from time to time receive hereunder as Collateral Custodian for the Secured Parties solely at the will of the Collateral Custodian
and the Secured Parties for the sole purpose of facilitating the management of the Collateral Obligations and such retention and
possession shall be in a custodial capacity only. To the extent the Investment Manager, as agent of the Collateral Custodian and
the Borrower, holds any Collateral, the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to do so in accordance with the Investment
Management Standard as such standard applies to investment managers acting as custodial agent. The Borrower shall cause the Investment
Manager to promptly report to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent the loss by it of all or part of any Collateral
Obligation File previously provided to it by the Collateral Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any
such loss. In such custodial capacity, the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to perform the following powers and duties:


 


(i)          hold
the Collateral Obligation Files and any document comprising a Collateral Obligation File that it may from time to time receive
hereunder from the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Collateral Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, maintain
accurate records pertaining to each Collateral Obligation to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and maintain a current inventory thereof;


 


(ii)         implement
policies and procedures consistent with the Investment Management Standard and requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity
and physical possession of such Collateral Obligation Files will be maintained; and


 


(iii)        take
all other actions, in accordance with the Investment Management Standard, in connection with maintaining custody of such Collateral
Obligation Files on behalf of the Collateral Agent.


 


Acting as custodian of the Collateral Obligation
Files pursuant to this Section 18.5, the Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to agree that it does not and
will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Collateral Obligations or the Collateral Obligation Files.


 


Section
18.6         Examination of Collateral Obligation Files.
Upon reasonable prior notice to the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower, the Investment Manager and their agents, accountants, attorneys
and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Collateral Obligation Files, documents,
records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Collateral Custodian relating to any or all of the Collateral
Obligations. Prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Facility Termination Event, a Facility Termination Event, an Unmatured Investment
Manager Event or an Investment Manager Event, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and at the cost and expense of the Borrower,
the Collateral Custodian shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with the Collateral Obligation Files or copies, as designated
by the Administrative Agent, subject to any applicable cap on costs and expenses, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly provide
the Administrative Agent with the Collateral Obligation Files or copies, as designated by the Administrative Agent; provided,
the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to provide such copies if it does not receive adequate assurance of payment.

Section
18.7         Lost Note Affidavit.
In the event that the Collateral Custodian fails to produce any original promissory note delivered to it related to a Collateral
Obligation that was in its possession pursuant to Section 10.22 within
five (5) Business Days after required or requested by the Administrative Agent and provided
that (a) the Collateral Custodian previously certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it had received such original
promissory note and (b) such original promissory note is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, then
the Collateral Custodian shall with respect to any missing original promissory note, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent
upon request a lost note affidavit. 


 


Section
18.8         Transmission of Collateral Obligation Files.
Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Collateral Custodian is directed to utilize in connection
with the transmission of Collateral Obligation Files in the performance of the Collateral Custodian’s duties hereunder shall
be delivered by the Borrower or the Investment Manager to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Collateral Obligation
Files hereunder. In the event the Collateral Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Borrower or the Investment
Manager, the Collateral Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally recognized courier
service. The Borrower shall cause the Investment Manager to arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense
(or, at the Collateral Custodian’s option, reimburse the Collateral Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the
Collateral Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral
Obligation Files as the Investment Manager deems appropriate.


 


Section
18.9         Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger
or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets
of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption
to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this
Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.


 


Section
18.10       Collateral Custodian Compensation.
As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder and in its capacity as Securities Intermediary under the Account
Control Agreement, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to its fees and expenses from the Borrower as set forth in the Collateral
Agent and Collateral Custodian Fee Letter and any other accrued and unpaid fees, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees, costs and expenses) and indemnity amounts payable by the Borrower or the Investment Manager, or both but without duplication,
to the Collateral Custodian (including Indemnified Amounts under Article XVI)
under the Transaction Documents (which includes amounts payable to the Securities Intermediary under the Account Control Agreement)
(collectively, the “Collateral Custodian Fees and Expenses”).
The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Collateral Custodian in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Custodian in accordance with any provision
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in the enforcement of any provision hereof or in the other Transaction
Documents.


 




    	-121-



    	 



    

 


Section
18.11       Removal or Resignation of Collateral Custodian.
(a)  The Collateral Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least
60 days’ prior written notice to the Investment Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided,
that no resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Custodian has been
appointed which successor Collateral Custodian, so long as no Unmatured Investment Manager Event, Investment Manager Event, Unmatured
Facility Termination Event or Facility Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Investment
Manager. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Collateral Custodian’s resignation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
appoint a successor Collateral Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to
the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the resigning Collateral Custodian and to the successor Collateral Custodian.


 


(a)          The
Administrative Agent upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Custodian, may remove and discharge the
Collateral Custodian or any successor Collateral Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement
for cause. Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent shall appoint, or petition
a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Custodian. Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written
instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian and the
successor Collateral Custodian, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Investment Manager.


 


(b)          In
the event of any such resignation or removal, the Collateral Custodian shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt
of notice of the successor Collateral Custodian, transfer to the successor Collateral Custodian, as directed in writing by the
Administrative Agent, all the Collateral Obligation Files being administered under this Agreement. The cost of the shipment of
Collateral Obligation Files arising out of the resignation of the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 18.11(a),
or the termination for cause of the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 18.11(b), shall be at the expense of the
Collateral Custodian. Any cost of shipment arising out of the removal or discharge of the Collateral Custodian without cause pursuant
to Section 18.11(b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.


 


Section
18.12       Limitations on Liability.
(a)  The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument,
opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine
and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected
in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions
of the Administrative Agent.


 


(a)          The
Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 




    	-122-



    	 



    

 


(b)          The
Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good
faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in
the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties and in the case of the grossly negligent
performance of its duties in taking and retaining custody of the Collateral Obligation Files; provided that, the Collateral
Custodian hereby agrees that any failure of the Collateral Custodian to produce an original promissory note satisfying the conditions
described in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 18.7 shall constitute gross negligence.


 


(c)          The
Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability
of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder
that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it.


 


(d)          The
Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth
in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian.


 


(e)          The
Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. In no event
shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances
beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot,
embargo, government action (including any laws, ordinances, regulations) or the like that delay, restrict or prohibit the providing
of services by the Collateral Custodian as contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(f)           It
is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability
for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.


 


(g)          In
case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of a Facility
Termination Event or the Facility Termination Date, request instructions from the Investment Manager and may, after the occurrence
of a Facility Termination Event or the Facility Termination Date, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall
be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Investment Manager or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action
taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian
be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits),
even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 




    	-123-



    	 



    

 


(h)          Each
of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Section 11.7 and Section
11.8 shall be afforded to the Collateral Custodian.


 


Section
18.13       Collateral Custodian as Agent of Collateral Agent.
The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Collateral Obligation File at any time or times in its possession or
held in its name, the Collateral Custodian shall be the agent and custodian of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the
Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC. For
so long as the Collateral Custodian is the same entity as the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the
same rights and protections afforded to the Collateral Agent hereunder.
