ARTICLE

the COMMITMENTS and BORROWINGs


 


Section 2.01 Loans.


 


Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the
Borrower in Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect
to any Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings (plus the greater of (A) the Aggregate Unfunded Amount minus Cash credited to
the Unfunded Exposure Account (not to exceed the Aggregate Unfunded Amount and excluding Excluded Amounts) and (B) zero) shall
not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of the Loans made by any Lender shall not exceed such
Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.03, and reborrow under this Section
2.01. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.


 


Section 2.02 Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Loans.


 


(a) Each Borrowing,
each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Administrator, which may be given in writing, including via email.
Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (x) one Business Day prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) on the Business
Day of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Base Rate Loan. Each written notice by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in the amount of the
unused portion of the Commitments. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or in the amount of the unused portion of the Commitments. Each Loan Notice
shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case
may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the
Type of Loans to be borrowed or continued or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration
of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower
fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted
to, Base Rate Loans; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may make such specifications
of the Type or Types of Loans in the form of standing instructions. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective
as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify
an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.


 






    26


     


    

 


(b) Following
receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage
of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection.
In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds
at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 1:00 p.m. on the Business
Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice and (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in
the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of
Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.


 


(c) Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith.
During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent
of the Required Lenders.


 


(d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period
for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall provide prompt written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator) of any
change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.


 


(e) After
giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same
Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.


 


Section 2.03 Prepayments.


 


(a) The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans, in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
a.m. (A) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment
of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid
and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Subject to Section 2.12, each such prepayment shall
be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any such notice not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such prepayment
was scheduled to take place if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Loans, which refinancing will not
be consummated or will otherwise be delayed.

(b) If
the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time, then the Borrower
shall (i) give notice to the Administrative Agent and Lenders via electronic mail or facsimile of its intent to cure any Borrowing
Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the delivery of notice from the Administrative Agent of such Borrowing
Base Deficiency (unless Borrower has actually cured such Borrowing Base Deficiency by such time) and (ii) either (x) cure any Borrowing
Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the third Business Day following the date on which the Borrowing Base Deficiency arose or (y) no
more than 3 times in any rolling 12-month period, (1) provide evidence to the Administrative Agent, which is reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, that the Borrower has issued a capital call in order to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00
p.m. on the second Business Day following the delivery of notice from the Administrative Agent of such Borrowing Base Deficiency
and (2) cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day following the date on which the Administrative
Agent sent notice to the Borrower that a Borrowing Base Deficiency arose, in each case by either (A) repaying outstanding Loans,
selling Collateral Assets and depositing the proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account or transferring additional Eligible
Collateral Assets, Cash or Cash Equivalents to the Collateral Account, the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account,
as applicable, so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency will thereupon be cured or (B) delivering to the Administrative Agent a written
report showing a projected cure of such Borrowing Base Deficiency based on actions described in clause (A), if any, and pending
purchases and sales of Collateral Assets, which report shall (1) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (2) give
effect to all committed purchases of Collateral Assets and other financial assets by the Borrower and account in a manner satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent for any change in the market value of any such Collateral Asset and (3) give effect to sales of Collateral
Assets only if such sales are to Approved Dealers and the Borrower reasonably expects such sales to be settled within 30 days of
the Borrower’s commitment to such sale.

Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction
shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire Aggregate Commitments and (iii) the Borrower

the Total Outstandings (plus the greater of (A) the Aggregate Unfunded Amount minus Cash credited to the Unfunded Exposure Account
(not to exceed the Aggregate Unfunded Amount and excluding Excluded Amounts) and (B) zero) would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments.
Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage.
All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date
of such termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any such notice not later than
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such termination was scheduled to take place if such termination would have resulted from

(B)(1) the actual daily Second Unused Amount times (2) the applicable Commitment Fee Rate divided by (ii) 360. The Commitment
Fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Availability Period, including at any
time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears and
if there is any change in the Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied
by the Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.


 


(b) Make-whole
Fee. Subject to Section 2.12(a)(iii), if the Aggregate Commitments are terminated in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.04
prior to the Make-Whole Fee End Date, then Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage a fee equal to the present value in Dollars of all future amounts that would have been payable
in respect of the Aggregate Commitments (or terminated portion thereof) during the period from the termination date through the
Maturity Date assuming that the Outstanding Amount is equal to the Aggregate Commitments (or terminated portion thereof), the Applicable
Rate is equal to the Make-Whole Fee Rate and the Eurocurrency Rate is zero; provided that no Make-Whole Fee shall be due
and payable in the event of a termination in connection with the occurrence of any of the following: (A) a Permitted Refinancing
Transaction, (B) the inability to determine a Successor Rate by the Scheduled Unavailability Date or if the utilization of the
Eurocurrency Rate shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof for greater than ten Business Days or (C) the Administrative
Agent or any Lender has sought reimbursement or indemnity under Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.05,
and Section 10.04(b).


 






    30


     


    

 


(c) Other
Fees.


 


(i) The
Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts
and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.


 


(ii) The
Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and
at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.


 


Section 2.08 Computation
of Interest and Fees.


 


All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid
than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.


 


Section 2.09 Evidence
of Debt.


 


The Loans made by each
Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary
course of business in accordance with its usual practice. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest
and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the written request of any Lender
to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender
may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and
payments with respect thereto.


 






    31


     


    

 


Section 2.10 Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.


 


(a) General.
All payments to be made by the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be made free and clear of and without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrower shall have the right to use amounts standing
to the credit of the Collection Account to make any such required payments. All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the
United States. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable
share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All
payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next following Business
Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a
day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected
in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that this sentence shall not apply to payments made on the
Maturity Date without giving effect to the proviso in the definition of such term.


 


(b) Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to
12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance
with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in
accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower
a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender that is not Bank of America or an Affiliate thereof has not in fact made its
share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment
to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the
case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed
to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.


 


(i) Payments
by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower
will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.


 






    32


     


    

 


A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.


 


(c) Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made
available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds
as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.


 


(d) Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c)
are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do
so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation
or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).


 


(e) Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.


 


Section 2.11 Sharing
of Payments by Lenders.


 


If any Lender shall,
by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any
of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans
or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro  rata share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit
of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:


 


(i) if
any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and


 






    33


     


    

 


(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a
Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation
in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower (as to which the provisions of this
Section shall apply).


 


The Borrower consents
to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower’s rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.


 


Section 2.12 Defaulting
Lenders.


 


(a) Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:


 


(i) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.


 


(ii) Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or
received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s
potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to
pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting
Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 






    34


     


    

 


(iii) Certain
Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.07(a) or Section 2.07(b)
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.


 


(b) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender,
the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto in writing, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice
and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans
to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease
to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except
to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.


 


Section 2.13 Discretionary
Sales.


 


The Borrower shall have
the right to sell all or a portion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to participation agreements or other agreements
to effectuate assignments following an initial transfer of a participation interest or other portion of a Collateral Asset) of
the Collateral Assets (each, a “Discretionary Sale”), subject to the following terms and conditions:


 


(a) Immediately
after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale:


 


(i) no
Borrowing Base Deficiency Amount exists or would occur as a result of such Discretionary Sale; provided that the Borrower
may sell Collateral Assets as necessary to facilitate a cure of a Borrowing Base Deficiency (and any Default arising therefrom)
in accordance with Section 2.03(b);


 


(ii) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and


 


(iii) on
the date of such Discretionary Sale, all proceeds from such Discretionary Sale (x) will be deposited directly into the Collection
Account and (y) with respect to any sold Collateral Asset, will be in Dollars.


 






    35


     


    

 


(b) In
connection with any Discretionary Sale, following deposit of all proceeds from such Discretionary Sale into the Collection Account,
the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to release and transfer to the Borrower all of the right, title and interest of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Collateral Asset(s) and related Collateral subject to such Discretionary
Sale and such portion of the Collateral so transferred shall be released from the Lien of the Security Agreement.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13, the Borrower is at all times permitted to sell any Collateral Asset to an
Approved Dealer in order to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency in accordance with Section ‎2.03(b) so long as no Default
or Event of Default would otherwise occur or be continuing after giving effect thereto.


 


Section 2.14 Increase
of Aggregate Commitments.


 


The Borrower may, with
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (which consent may be conditioned on one or more conditions
precedent in its sole discretion), (i) increase the Commitment of the existing Lenders (pro rata), (ii) add additional
Lenders and/or (iii) increase the Commitment of any Lender, in each case which shall increase the Aggregate Commitments by
the amount of the Commitment of each such existing or additional Lender; provided that such increase does not cause the
Aggregate Commitments to exceed $500,000,000; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, so long as no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists and no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Commitments of the existing Lenders shall be increased (pro rata) on the one-month anniversary of the Closing
Date such that the Aggregate Commitments equal to $400,000,000.


 


Section 2.15 Permitted
Refinancing Transactions.


 


(a) On
any Business Day, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Loans then outstanding and require the Administrative
Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related Collateral Assets and underlying assets securing such Collateral
Assets in connection with a Permitted Refinancing Transaction, subject to the following terms and conditions:


 


(i) the
Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator) at least three (3) Business Days’
prior written notice of its intent to effect a Permitted Refinancing Transaction and shall provide the Administrative Agent with
all information reasonably required by it to release the related Lien;


 


(ii) the
Investment Adviser shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Borrower Certification, together with evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Permitted Refinancing Transaction
Date to effect such Permitted Refinancing Transaction in accordance with this Agreement, which funds may come from the proceeds
of sales of the Collateral Assets and related Collateral in connection with such Permitted Refinancing Transaction;


 






    36


     


    

 


(iii) on
the related Permitted Refinancing Transaction Date, the Borrower shall provide a certificate to the Administrative Agent representing
that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Permitted Refinancing Transaction, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (y) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists; and


 


(iv) on
the date of such Permitted Refinancing Transaction, all proceeds payable to the Borrower from such Permitted Refinancing Transaction
(net of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Permitted Refinancing Transaction) will be deposited directly into
the Collection Account.


 


(b) In
connection with any Permitted Refinancing Transaction, following deposit of the net proceeds from such Permitted Refinancing Transaction
into the Collection Account, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
in, to and under such Collateral Asset(s) and underlying asset(s) securing such Collateral Asset(s) subject to such Permitted Refinancing
Transaction and such portion of the Collateral subject to such Permitted Refinancing Transaction shall be released from the Lien
of the Security Agreement.


 


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


 


(d) In
connection with any Permitted Refinancing Transaction, the Administrative 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 Permitted Refinancing Transaction to
the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary, as the Borrower may reasonably request.


 


ARTICLE
III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY


 


Section 3.01 Taxes.


 


(a) Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable
Laws. If any Applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) require the deduction
or withholding of any Taxes from any payment under any Loan Document, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to
make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
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 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 






    37


     


    

 


(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable
Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


(c) Tax
Indemnifications.


 


(i) The
Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written 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 3.01) 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 Governmental Authority. 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 a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(ii) Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (x) 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), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z)
any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower
in connection with any Loan 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 Governmental Authority. 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
Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this clause (ii).


 


(d) Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental
Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 






    38


     


    

 


(e) Status
of Lenders; Tax Documentation.


 


(i) Any
Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the 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 Recipient, 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 Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable
judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.


 


(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,


 


(A) any
Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such
Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient 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 party to
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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as
applicable, 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;


 






    39


     


    

 


(II) executed
copies 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 E-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 Parent 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or


 


(IV) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-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 E-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 party to
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
copies 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 Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Recipient 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 Recipient 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 comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each
Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 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.


 


(iv) Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 of the Borrower or so
long as Borrower is an entity that is treated as disregarded from the Borrower Parent, the Borrower Parent. If such form becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Borrower shall update such form or promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing
of its legal inability to do so.


 


(f) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file
for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted
from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If any Recipient 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 by the Borrower or with respect
to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes)
incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in
the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection
the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been
in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and
the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be
construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.


 


(g) Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all other Obligations.


 






    41


     


    

 


Section 3.02 Illegality.


 


If any Lender determines
that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the date of this Agreement that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference
to the Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority
has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation
of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended,
and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which
is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such
Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency
Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender
to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day,
or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts
the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent
shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency
Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such
Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.05.


 


Section 3.03 Inability
to Determine Rates.


 


(a) If
in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative
Agent determines that (A) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for Dollars
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan
or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan and the circumstances described in Section 3.03(c)(i) do not
apply, (in each case with respect to clause (i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender in writing. Thereafter, (x) the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence
with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining
the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice, which it shall do promptly upon the cessation of the events giving rise to such suspension. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars
(to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted
such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and all Eurocurrency Rate Loans
outstanding shall immediately be converted into Base Rate Loans.


 






    42


     


    

 


(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) this Section 3.03,
the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate
for the Impacted Loans,  in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans
until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i)
of the first sentence of Section 3.03(a), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding
the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is
determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case
of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:


 


(i) adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without
limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;
or


 


(ii) the
administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement
identifying a specific date after which any applicable Eurocurrency Rate or LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for
determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator
that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific
date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or


 






    43


     


    

 


(iii) syndicated
loans currently being executed, or existing syndicated loans that include language similar to that contained in this Section
3.03, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace any applicable
Eurocurrency Rate,


 


then, reasonably promptly after such determination
by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Eurocurrency Rate with (x) one or more SOFR-Based
Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar
U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical
or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar
denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall
be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion
and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and
the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written
notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with a rate described
in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace the Eurocurrency Rate
with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in
the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any
such amendment. Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the
extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied
in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.


 


If no Successor Rate
has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred
(as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency
Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base
Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y))
in the amount specified therein.


 






    44


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything
else herein, any definition of Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes
of this Agreement.


 


In connection with the
implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower will have the right to make Successor
Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent
of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent
shall post each such amendment implementing such Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment
becomes effective.


 


Section 3.04 Increased
Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.


 


(a) Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


 


(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
contemplated by Section 3.04(e), other than as set forth below);


 


(ii) subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) 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; or


 


(iii) impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate
Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which
is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
the written request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amount or amounts shall be no
greater than that which such Lender is generally claiming from its other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower, as reasonably
evidenced to the Borrower at the time such amount is requested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04,
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any amounts incurred more
than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such affected Person’s intention to claim compensation
therefor, except that if the event giving rise to such request for compensation is retroactive, then such 180-day period will be
extended to include the period of the retroactive effect thereof.


 






    45


     


    

 


(b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies
and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written
request, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 


(c) Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company, including a summary of the calculation thereof, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a)
or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.


 


(d) Delay in
Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section
3.01 and this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower
of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof); provided further
that such Lender at that time has a general policy of demanding the same type of compensation from similarly situated counterparties.


 


(e) Additional
Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves
with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual
costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio
requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the
maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage
per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment
or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error),
which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower
shall have received at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional
interest or costs from such Lender which written notice will include the amount of such interest or costs, the methodology for
the calculation and the calculation thereof. If a Lender fails to give written notice 10 Business Days prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 Business Days from receipt of such written notice.


 






    46


     


    

 


Section 3.05 Compensation
for Losses.


 


Upon written demand of
any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for
and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:


 


(a) any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);


 


(b) any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower unless such written notice is rescinded
in accordance with the terms hereof; or


 


(c) any
assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;


 


including any foreign exchange losses and
any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable
to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract.


 


For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore
interbank market for Dollars for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was
in fact so funded.


 


Section 3.06 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 


(a) Designation
of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that
the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a written notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall
use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in
each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 






    47


     


    

 


(b) Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Lender gives a written notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance
with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender
in accordance with Section 10.13.


 


Section 3.07 Survival.


 


All obligations of the
Borrower under this Article III shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative
Agent.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


The Borrower represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the Closing Date, each Borrowing Date, and each other date provided
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on which such representations and warranties are required to be (or deemed to

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


 


Section 9.01 Appointment
and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as third party beneficiary of any such provisions, except that the
Borrower shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of Section 9.06. It is understood and agreed that the use
of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable
Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between contracting parties.


 






    67


     


    

 


Section 9.02 Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.


 


Section 9.03 Exculpatory
Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:


 


(a) shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;


 


(b) shall not have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents or those rights and powers that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise
as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided
for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any
Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay
under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in
violation of any Debtor Relief Law;


 


(c) shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained
by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity


 


(d) In
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment, shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe
in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice
describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender;


 






    68


     


    

 


(e) shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v)
the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV
or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and


 


(f) shall
not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with
the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender
or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation
of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender (unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge
after reasonable inquiry that such Person is a Disqualified Lender).


 


Section 9.04 Reliance
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability
for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to
the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it with due care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.


 


Section 9.05 Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines
in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection
of such sub-agents.


 






    69


     


    

 


Section 9.06 Resignation
of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, if no Event
of Default exists or is continuing upon the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), and if an Event of Default exists and is continuing in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which
at all times shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.
Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation
Effective Date.


 


(b) If
the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person
as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.


 


(c) With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for
any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly,
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all
of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section
3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section) . The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its
sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance

upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.


 


Section 9.08 No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Book Manager or Arranger listed on the
cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.


 


Section 9.09 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any
Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise


 


(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and


 


(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.09 and Section 10.04.


 


Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize
the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.


 






    71


     


    

 


The Secured Parties
hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion
of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant
to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition
vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of
the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws
in any other jurisdictions to which the Borrower is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral
in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action
or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed
to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to
contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon
the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating
the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition
vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall
be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of
the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition
vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly,
by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations
on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative
Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result
of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments
issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for
any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned
to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better,
because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition
vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or
debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle
shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(c) The Platform.
Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, make
available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of such Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on DebtDomain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system
(the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have
personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective
securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such
Persons’ securities. Borrower hereby agrees that (A) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public
Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC”
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (B) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall
be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing
any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state
securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall
be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (C) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to
be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (D) the Administrative
Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable
only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”


 


THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED
“AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE
BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY
AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its
Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other
Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of
the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the platform, any
other electronic platform or messaging service, or through the Internet.


 


Each Public Lender agrees
to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information”
or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate,
in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information”
portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities Laws.

(d) Effectiveness
of Facsimile of Electronic Mail Documents. Loan Documents may be transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail. The effectiveness
of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals
and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that
any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the
failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or electronic mail document or signature.


 


(e) Change
of Address, Etc. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, electronic mail address, facsimile or telephone
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address,
electronic mail address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that
the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic
mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.


 


(f) Reliance
by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic or electronic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified
herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices
to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the
parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.


 


Section 10.03 No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges
herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers
and privileges provided by law.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents against the Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection
with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02
for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative
Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section
10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing
pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02
and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section
2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized
by the Required Lenders.

reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee
or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising

any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative

(including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including

and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee,
be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of Section
3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims,

    79


     


    

 


(c) Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection
(a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related
Party of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Aggregate Commitments at such time) of such unpaid amount
(including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them
based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought), provided further that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability
or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or
against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent) in connection with such
capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(d).


 


(d) Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall
be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such
unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

remedies under the Facility can be sufficiently and adequately remedied by monetary damages, (ii) no irreparable injury will
be caused to the Borrower, the Borrower Parent or the Investment Adviser as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims,
damages or demands, and (iii) no equitable or injunctive relief shall be sought by the Borrower, the Borrower Parent or the

    80


     


    

 


(g) Survival.

Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the Payment in Full of the Obligations.


 


Section 10.05 Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Lender,

settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent,

and is continuing, any Palmer Square Competitor or (D) to a natural Person (any such Person described in clause (A), (B), (C) or
(D), a “Disqualified Lender”).

(vi) Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata
share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate)
its full pro rata share of all Loans accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender
for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.


 


Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising
from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon written request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation
in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.


 


(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s
Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest)
of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 




    83


     


    

 


(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a Disqualified Lender or a Lender who is lending with or whose assets constitute Plan Assets, unless
such Lender is relying on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which are satisfied) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided  further
that, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall be required for
a participation to a Palmer Square Competitor. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity
under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.


 


Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements
and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that
such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee
under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01
or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would
have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in
Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and the same greater payment would also have applied
to the relevant Lender. 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 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were
a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender
that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations
under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register.


 




    84


     


    

 


(e) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations
to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


(f) Status
as an Approved Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, each Lender
hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be an Approved Lender. Accordingly:


 


(i) each
Lender represents to the Borrower, (A) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto
or by entering into an Assignment and Assumption) and (B) on each date on which it makes a Loan hereunder, that it is an Approved
Lender;


 


(ii) each
Lender agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to
any Person unless such Person is an Approved Lender; and


 


(iii) the
Borrower agrees that, to the extent it has the right to consent to any assignment or participation herein, it shall not consent
to such assignment or participation hereunder unless it reasonably believes that the assignee or participant is an Approved Lender
at the time of such assignment or participation and that such assignment or participation will not cause the Borrower or the pool
of Collateral to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.


 




    85


     


    

 


Section 10.07 Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process with prior written notice to the Borrower to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible, (d) to
any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 10.01 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or
its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any of the
Borrower and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency
in connection with rating the Borrower or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any
similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the
credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, the Borrower
Parent, the Investment Adviser or any of their Affiliates. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the
existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending
industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. “Information” means all information received from the Borrower
relating to the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care
to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.


 


Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower,
(b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle
such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.


 


Section
10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any
time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such
Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided
that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12
and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative
Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such
right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


 




    86


     


    

 


Section 10.09 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed
to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds
the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded
to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is
not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.


 


Section 10.10 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g.
“pdf” or “tiff”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


Section 10.11 Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing,
and shall continue in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Obligations.


 




    87


     


    

 


Section 10.12 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined
in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.


 


Section
10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled
to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section
3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:


 


(a) the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) to the extent required by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 10.06(b);


 


(b) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)
from the assignee (to the extent of such Outstanding Amount and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts);


 


(c) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
and


 


(d) such
assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws.


 


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 10.14 Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.


 


(a) GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT

IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED OR IT IS OTHERWISE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ENFORCE ITS RIGHTS OVER
THE COLLATERAL.


 


(c) WAIVER

OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO

IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY

PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.


 


Section 10.16 No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges
and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding

between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders, on the other
hand, (B)  the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender is and
has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not,
and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither
the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and
(iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range
of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative
Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection
with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 10.18 USA
PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a written request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide
all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in writing in order to comply with
its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including
without limitation, the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.


 


Section
10.19 [Reserved].


 


Section 10.20 Non-Recourse
Obligations; No Petition. (a) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent covenants and agrees that the obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, payable solely from the Collateral in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents, and, following realization of the Collateral, any claims of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent and all obligations of the Borrower shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is understood that the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10.20(a) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under
any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any
indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until the Collateral has been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness
or obligation shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.20(a)
shall not limit or prejudice the rights of the Lenders in respect of any obligation of any Affiliate of the Borrower under any
Loan Document in respect of any fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or misrepresentation of any Person, including where a certification
of the Borrower Parent in the Compliance Certificate proves to have been untrue in a material respect when made; provided
that nothing in the foregoing shall give rise to any liability of or permit recourse to any natural person executing such certificate
as an officer of the Borrower, the Borrower Parent or the Investment Adviser.


 


(b) Each
of the parties hereto (other than the Borrower) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or,
if longer, any applicable preference period and one day) after the Payment in Full of the Obligations, no party hereto shall institute
against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law.


 




    91


     


    

 


(c) The
provisions of this Section 10.19 are a material inducement for the Secured Parties to enter into this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and are an essential term hereof. The parties hereby agree that monetary damages are not adequate
for a breach of the provisions of this Section 10.19 and the Administrative Agent may seek and obtain specific performance
of such provisions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
winding up, insolvency, moratorium, examinership, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States
federal or state bankruptcy laws, or any similar laws.


 


(d) The
provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 


Section 10.21 Time
of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.


 


Section 10.22 Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or
any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
(the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with
the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any
other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise,
for any swap contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”,
and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution
power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution
Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding
that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or
of the United States or any other state of the United States):


 


(a) In
the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any
interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported
QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective
under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and
rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party
or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights
under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against
such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state
of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties
with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or
any QFC Credit Support.


 


(b) As
used in this Section 10.23, the following terms have the following meanings:


 


“BHC Act Affiliate”
of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k))
of such party.


 


“Covered Entity”
means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).


 


“Default Right”
has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1,
as applicable.


 


“QFC”
has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with,
12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that if such Collateral Asset is not so priced on any such
date that is a Business Day, then this clause (b) shall be deemed satisfied if the Borrower within (x) one Business Day of any
such failure, notifies the Administrative Agent of its intent to provide such evidence and (y) within two Business Day of any
such failure, provides such evidence; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, a Collateral Asset

		e.	Up to 10% of the Aggregate Assigned
                                         Value may consist of Eligible Collateral Assets that either (A) are rated below “B-”
                                         but no lower than “CCC” by S&P or, if no S&P Rating is available,
                                         rated below “B3” but no lower than “Caa2” by Moody’s or

                                         Collateral Asset had any such lower rating before such rating was withdrawn, such Collateral
                                         Asset will be deemed to have such lower rating for purposes of this test and (2) except

                                         for purposes of determining the Assigned Value of any Eligible Collateral Asset included

    Annex B-3 



     


    

 


Selection of Non-Qualifying
Assets. As of any date of determination, if the Eligible Collateral Assets, taken as a whole, do not satisfy the Portfolio
Criteria, Eligible Collateral Assets or a portion thereof (the “Non-Qualifying Assets”) will be excluded from
such determination to the extent necessary to cause the remaining Eligible Collateral Assets to satisfy the Portfolio Criteria.
The Non-Qualifying Assets will be selected on the basis of, for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, the lowest Assigned
Value Percentage; provided that if two or more Eligible Collateral Assets have the same Assigned Value Percentage, the
Eligible Collateral Asset that would (if it were not a Non-Qualifying Asset) have the lower Advance Rate will be selected for
inclusion in the Non-Qualifying Assets. Any excess of Eligible Collateral Assets deemed to be included in the CCC Excess will
be selected on the same basis as Non-Qualifying Assets.


 


Settlement Date Basis.
All determinations of whether an asset is to be included for purposes of determination of the Borrowing Base, any Eligibility
Criteria or any Portfolio Criteria will be on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any asset that has been purchased will not
be treated as a Collateral Assets until such purchase has settled, and any Collateral Asset which has been sold will not be excluded
as a Collateral Asset until such sale has settled); provided that no asset shall be included as a Collateral Asset to the
extent it has not been paid for in full.
