thereof) which constitute Noteless Loans or Participations or which are otherwise not evidenced by a “security” or
“instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC), respectively, shall be made by delivery
to the Document Custodian of (i) in the case of a Noteless Loan, a copy of the loan register with respect to such Noteless Loan
evidencing registration of such Loan on the books and records of the applicable obligor or bank agent to the name of the Company
or, if applicable, a Subsidiary thereof (or, in either case, its nominee) or a copy (which may be a facsimile copy) of an assignment
agreement in favor of the Company (or, if applicable, a Subsidiary thereof) as assignee, and (ii) in the case of a Participation,
a copy of the related participation agreement. Any duty on the part of the Custodian with respect to the custody of such Loans
shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Custodian in the physical custody of any such documents delivered to
it, and any related instrument, security, credit agreement, assignment agreement and/or other agreements or documents, if any (collectively,
“Financing Documents”), that may be delivered to it. Nothing herein shall require the Custodian to credit to
the Securities Account or to treat as a financial asset (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) any such Loan or
other asset in the nature of a general intangible (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC) or to “maintain”
a sufficient quantity thereof.

(iii)The Custodian may assume
the genuineness of any such Financing Document it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing
thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each such Financing Document it may receive is what it purports to be. If an original
“security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively,
is or shall be or become available with respect to any Loan to be held by the Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole
responsibility of the Company to make or cause delivery thereof to the Document Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under
any obligation at any time to determine whether any such original security or instrument has been or is required to be issued or
made available in respect of any Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian.


 


(iv)Contemporaneously with the
acquisition of any Loan, the Company shall (A) if requested by the Custodian, provide to the Custodian an amortization schedule
of principal payments and a schedule of the interest payable date(s) identifying the amount and due dates of all scheduled principal
and interest payments for such Loan; (B) take all actions necessary for the Company to acquire good title to such Loan; and (C)
take all actions as may be necessary (including appropriate payment notices and instructions to bank agents or other applicable
paying agents) to cause (x) all payments in respect of the Loan to be made to the Custodian and (y) all notices, solicitations
and other communications in respect of such Loan to be directed to the Company. The Custodian shall have no liability for any delay
or failure on the part of the Company to provide necessary information to the Custodian, or for any inaccuracy therein or incompleteness
thereof, or for any delay or failure on the part of the Company to give such effective payment instruction to bank agents and other
paying agents, in respect of the Loans. With respect to each such Loan, the Custodian shall be entitled to rely on any information
and notices it may receive from time to time from the related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the related
Loan Asset, or from the Company, and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate) on the basis
of such information or notices received, without any obligation on its part independently to verify, investigate or recalculate

by the Custodian, from its agents or its sub-custodian or from issuers of the Securities being held for the Company. The Custodian
shall have no obligation or duty to exercise any right or power, or otherwise to preserve rights, in or under any Securities unless
and except to the extent it has received timely Proper Instruction from the Company in accordance with the next sentence. The Custodian
will not be liable for any untimely exercise of any right or power in connection with Securities at any time held by the Custodian,
its agents or sub-custodian unless:

(whether or not so stated therein):


 


		(a)	The Custodian may rely on (and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon) any written notice,
instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to

gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part and in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Custodian shall
not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within 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

claw-back or the like), as a result of, relating to, or arising out of this Agreement, or the administration or performance of
the Custodian’s duties hereunder, or the relationship between the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Subsidiary)
and the Custodian created hereby, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses as are directly caused

The Company acknowledges receipt of the following notice:


 


“ IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT.


 


To help the government fight the funding of terrorism
and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other
legal entity the Custodian will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Custodian may
also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority
to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.”
