THE ADVANCES


 


Section
2.1.         The Advances.


 


(a)              
Loan Advances. During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Revolving Lenders to make advances
of funds (each, a “Loan Advance”) by delivering a Funding Notice with respect to such Loan Advance to the Administrative
Agent, which shall provide notification to the Revolving Lenders with respect thereto, in an aggregate amount up to the Availability as
of the proposed Funding Date of the Loan Advance; provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make
any Loan Advance on or after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the earlier to occur of the applicable Revolving Period End
Date or the Termination Date. Following the receipt of a Funding Notice during the Revolving Period, subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the Revolving Lenders shall fund such Loan Advance.


 


(b)             
Swingline Advances. During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Swingline Lender make Swingline
Advances to the Borrower by delivering a Funding Notice with respect to such requested Swingline Advance to the Administrative Agent,
which shall forward such Funding Notice to the Swingline Lender and provide notification to the Revolving Lenders with respect thereto.
Following the receipt of a Funding Notice during the Revolving Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Swingline Lender shall make the requested Swingline Advances to the Borrower; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not fund
any Swingline Advance if, after giving effect to the amount of the Swingline Advance requested, (i) in the sole discretion of the Swingline
Lender, a Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (ii) the Advances Outstanding would exceed the Borrowing Base
or (iii) the aggregate amount of Advances and Swingline Advances made by the Swingline Lender would exceed the Commitment of the Swingline
Lender.


 


(c)              
The Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, (x) add additional Persons as Revolving Lenders or (y)
increase the Commitment of any Revolving Lender and, in each case increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder; provided that,
(1) the Commitment of any Lender may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender and the Administrative Agent and
(2) the Facility Amount shall not exceed $800,000,000. Each additional Revolving Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement and a representation letter in the form of Exhibit I.
Upon such increase, Annex A hereto shall be deemed to be revised to reflect such increase in such Lender’s Commitment and
those terms set forth on Annex C shall be revised as set forth therein in accordance with such increase. For the avoidance of
doubt, on the Fifth Amendment Closing Date the Facility Amount shall be $730,000,000 and on any subsequent date of determination, the
terms set forth on Annex C shall vary in accordance with the Facility Amount then in effect (including, prior to the earlier to
occur of the end of the Revolving Period or the Termination Date, in connection with a permanent reduction of the Facility Amount). The
Borrower, or the Collateral Manager on its behalf, may at any time request Annex C to be revised so long as it has received prior
written consent from the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.


 


(d)              
Advances to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Advances shall be made by the Revolving Lenders as provided in Section
2.15.


 






    46 


     


    

 


Section
2.2.         Procedures for Advances by the Lenders.


 


(a)            
Subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders by delivering to the Administrative
Agent at certain times the information and documents set forth in this Section  2.2. Upon receipt of such information and
documents, the Administrative Agent will provide notification to the Revolving Lenders and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, with
respect thereto.


 


(b)             
With respect to (i) all Loan Advances, no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date and
(ii) all Swingline Advances, no later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed Funding Date, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its
behalf) shall deliver:


 


(i)                
to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver to each Revolving Lender or, in the case of any Swingline Advance, the
Swingline Lender) and the Collateral Custodian a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate updated to the date such Advance is requested
and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof;


 


(ii)               
to the Administrative Agent a description of the Obligor and the Loan(s) to be funded by the proposed Advance;


 


(iii)              
to the Administrative Agent a wire disbursement and authorization form, to the extent not previously delivered;


 


(iv)              
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian a duly completed Funding Notice which shall (a) specify the desired amount
of such Advance, which amount must be at least equal to $500,000 (or, in the case of any Advance to be applied to fund any draw under
a Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, such lesser amount as may be required to fund such draw), to be allocated to each Lender in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share, (b) specify the proposed Funding Date of such Advance, (c) specify the Loan(s) to be financed on such Funding
Date (including the appropriate file number, Obligor, original loan balance, OLB, Assigned Value and Purchase Price for each Loan) and,
with respect to any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, the amount to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with
the acquisition of such Loan(s) pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and (d) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an
Advance described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable. If any Funding Notice is
received by the Administrative Agent (x) after 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the Business Day for which such Advance (other than
a Swingline Advance) is requested, (y) after 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which a Swingline Advance is requested or (z) on a day that
is not a Business Day, such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business
Day.


 






    47 


     


    

 


(c)              
 On the proposed Funding Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section  2.1(a) or (b), as applicable,
and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III:


 


(i)                
in the case of a Loan Advance, (x) each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds, by no later
than 12:00 noon, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the least of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower for such
Advance, (B) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (C) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the proposed use
of the proceeds of such Advance, could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing
Base and (y) the Administrative Agent shall make all funds received from the Lenders under clause (x) available to the Borrower in same
day funds by wire transfer to the account designated by the Borrower in the Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2;
or


 


(ii)               
in the case of a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, by wire transfer
to the account designated by Borrower in the Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2, an amount equal to the least
of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Swingline Advance, (ii) the positive difference between (A) the Swingline
Commitment then in effect and (B) the aggregate outstanding Swingline Advances as of such date and (iii) the maximum amount that, after
taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Swingline Advance, could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing
the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base.


 


(d)             
On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Revolving Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any such Loan Advance shall be several
from that of each other Revolving Lender and the failure of any Revolving Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall
not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder.


 


(e)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) the Revolving
Period End Date with respect to all the Commitments, if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate
Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Exposure Amount Shortfall”).
Following receipt of a Funding Notice (including a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate updated to the date such Advance is requested
and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested), the Revolving Lenders shall fund such Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance
with Section 2.2(b) as if the Revolving Period were still in effect and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including,
without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2), except that
no Lender shall make any Advance to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Advances Outstanding would exceed the Borrowing
Base.


 






    48 


     


    

 


Section
2.3.         Reduction of the Facility Amount; Optional Repayments.


 


(a)              
The Borrower shall be entitled at its option to terminate the Facility Amount in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility
Amount that exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest and Breakage Costs; provided that (i) the Borrower shall
provide a Repayment Notice to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to such termination or reduction, (ii) any
partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof
and (iii) in the case of such termination or reduction on or prior to the first anniversary of the Fifth Amendment Closing Date (other
than to the extent set forth in Section 2.3(d)), the Borrower shall pay to each Lender the applicable Commitment Reduction Fee
in accordance with Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, as applicable. Any request for a reduction or termination pursuant to this
Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior
to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.3(a).


 


(b)              
The Borrower shall be entitled at its option, at any time, to reduce Advances Outstanding; provided that (i) the Borrower
shall provide a Repayment Notice to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to such reduction and (ii) any reduction
of Advances Outstanding (other than with respect to repayments of Advances Outstanding made by the Borrower to reduce Advances Outstanding
such that the Required Advance Reduction Amount is equal to zero) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof. In connection with any such reduction of Advances Outstanding, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent, which shall promptly deliver to each Lender, (1) instructions to reduce such Advances Outstanding and (2) funds sufficient to repay
such Advances Outstanding together with all accrued Interest and any Breakage Costs; provided that, the Advances Outstanding will
not be reduced unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay the related accrued Interest and Breakage Costs, if any, in full. The
Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) to (x) unless a Default
or an Event of Default has occurred, if directed by the Borrower, the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding of the Non-Extending
Lenders or (y) otherwise, the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding, to the payment of accrued Interest on the amount
of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs. Any Advance so repaid may, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Period. Any Repayment Notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)
shall be irrevocable.


 


(c)              
At any time after the nine-month anniversary of the A&R Effective Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower
may deliver to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver the same to the Lenders) a notice requesting that the Revolving
Period be extended and specifying the requested length of such extension. Each Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to
approve (each such Lender, an “Extending Lender”) or deny (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”)
any such extension request and shall notify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its determination. Upon written
notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (with a copy to each Extending Lender), the Revolving Period shall be extended to
such date as is approved by each Extending Lender for all purposes hereof (and clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Period
End Date” shall be deemed amended). The Extending Lenders (on a pro rata basis) shall have the right to purchase the Commitments
of the Non-Extending Lenders and any Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders not so purchased (or assigned pursuant to Section 12.16)
shall be terminated on the Revolving Period End Date immediately prior to giving effect to such extension. Non-Extending Lenders will
receive payments on their Advances Outstanding in accordance with the terms hereof until their Advances Outstanding are reduced to zero,
at which point they will cease to be Lenders hereunder.


 






    49 


     


    

 


(d)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.3(a), no Commitment Reduction Fee shall be payable by the Borrower
in the event that (A) such termination or permanent reduction occurs no sooner than the date which is one year following the Fifth Amendment
Closing Date, (B) such termination or permanent reduction occurs as a result of a refinancing of this credit facility in connection with
(x) any transaction for which the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates holds at least 25.0% of the aggregate commitments of such
refinancing or (y) a distributed capital markets offering or (C) such permanent reduction results solely in the amortization of the Facility
Amount and any Loans released from the Lien of the Administrative Agent as a result of such reduction are not used to collateralize a
replacement financing facility during the 90-day period following the date of the release of such Lien.

Period and shall advise the Collateral Manager thereof on the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

Each such Promissory Note shall be payable to such Lender in a face amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment as of the date of delivery
for such Promissory Note.


 


(b)              
If any Lender elects not to receive a Promissory Note, all references herein and the other Transaction Documents to such Lender’s
Promissory Note shall be deemed to mean the Advances outstanding with respect to such Lender. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the provisions herein and the other Transaction Documents related to the Lenders hereunder shall apply to each Lender regardless
of whether such Lender has received a Promissory Note.


 


Section
2.6.         Principal Repayments.


 


(a)              
Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof, the Advances Outstanding shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date (or,
with respect to any Non-Extending Lender, the earlier to occur of (x) the two-year anniversary of the termination of its Commitment and
(y) the Termination Date) or on such later date as is agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (or, with respect to any Non-Extending Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Non-Extending Lender).

and any accrued and unpaid Interest for previous Accrual Periods, (B) such Lender’s share of the Non-Usage Fee for the related Accrual
Period and any unpaid Non-Usage Fees for previous Accrual Periods and (C) any unpaid Breakage Costs with respect to such Lender;


 


(3)              
pro rata to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, all other fees and other amounts, including any Increased Costs and
Structuring Fee, but other than the principal of Advances Outstanding, Commitment Reduction Fee and Administrative Expenses, then due
to each such Person under this Agreement;


 






    53 


     


    

 


(4)              
 pro rata to the Lenders to pay the Advances Outstanding and any accrued and unpaid Commitment Reduction Fee;


 


(5)              
pro rata to each applicable party, to pay all other Administrative Expenses and Taxes; and


 


(6)              
any remaining amounts shall be distributed to (or as directed by) the Borrower (to be used for any purpose, including distribution
to the Collateral Manager).


 


Section
2.9.         Collections and Allocations.


 


(a)              
Collections. The Collateral Manager shall promptly identify any collections received as being on account of Interest Collections
or Principal Collections and shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received to the appropriate Collection Account
within two Business Days after such Collections are received. The Collateral Manager shall include a statement as to the amount of Principal
Collections and Interest Collections on deposit on each Reporting Date in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
5.1(p).


 


(b)              
Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager may withdraw from the
Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Collateral Manager has, prior to such withdrawal and consent,
delivered to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender) a report setting forth the calculation
of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(c)              
Initial Deposits. On each Funding Date, the Collateral Manager will instruct the related Obligor to deposit all Collections
with respect to Collateral being acquired by the Borrower on such date into the Collection Account.


 


(d)              
Investment of Funds. Unless a Collateral Manager Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all such amounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected
by the Collateral Manager on each Payment Date (or pursuant to standing instructions provided by the Collateral Manager); provided
that, if a Collateral Manager Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent there are uninvested amounts
in the Collection Account, all such amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent (or pursuant
to standing instructions provided by the Administrative Agent). All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be
retained or deposited into the applicable Collection Account and shall be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 
2.7 or Section  2.8 (as applicable).


 


(e)              
Unfunded Exposure Account.


 


(i)                
Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn (A) by the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 2.9(e)(ii)
to fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan or (B) if the amount on deposit
in the Unfunded Exposure Account exceeds the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s
behalf) to make a deposit into the Principal Collection Account to the extent of such excess.


 






    54 


     


    

 



 


(ii)             
After the end of the Revolving Period, any draw request made by an Obligor under a Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, along with
wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Collateral Manager (on the Borrower’s behalf) to the Collateral
Custodian (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) along with an instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw the applicable amount
from the Unfunded Exposure Account. Upon receipt of, and in accordance with, such instruction, the Collateral Custodian shall fund such
draw request directly from the Unfunded Exposure Account.


 


(f)               
For all U.S. federal tax reporting purposes, all income earned on the funds invested and allocable to the Accounts is legally owned
by the Borrower (and beneficially owned by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager). The Borrower is required to provide to the Collateral
Custodian (i) an IRS Form W-9 no later than the date hereof, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously
submitted IRS forms) or other documentation upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Custodian as may be necessary (a) to reduce
or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (b) to permit the Collateral Custodian to fulfill its tax reporting obligations
under applicable law with respect to the Accounts or any amounts paid to the Borrower. The Borrower is further required to report to the
Collateral Custodian comparable information upon any change in the legal or beneficial ownership of the income allocable to the Accounts.
The Collateral Custodian shall have no liability to the Borrower or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid,
or retained for payment, to a governmental authority from the Accounts arising from the Borrower’s failure to timely provide an
accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt,
no funds shall be invested with respect to such Accounts absent the Collateral Custodian having first received (x) instructions with respect
to the investment of such funds, and (y) the forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.


 


Section
2.10.     Payments, Computations, Etc.


 


(a)              
Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager hereunder
shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United
States in immediately available funds and any amount not received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
The Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all
amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 5.25% per annum above the Prime Rate, payable on demand; provided that,
such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for the account of
the applicable Secured Party. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of
360 days (other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate and the Non-Usage Fee, which shall each be based on a year consisting
of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed.


 


(b)              
 Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest
or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are insufficient on any Payment
Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs then due pursuant to Section 2.12, such unpaid amounts shall remain due
and owing and shall accrue interest as provided in Section  2.10(a) until repaid in full.


 


(c)              
If any Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of the Borrower’s actions or failure to fulfill any
condition under Section  3.2, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable
Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Lender, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the applicable Lender to fund or
maintain such Advance, but excluding the Applicable Spread.

Section
2.11.     Fees.

The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8, the applicable Non-Usage Fee.


 


(b)              
The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8, in the manner specified in each
Fee Letter, the applicable portion of each Structuring Fee.


 


(c)              
The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Custodian Fee in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8.


 


(d)              
The Borrower shall pay to Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP as counsel to the Administrative Agent on the A&R Effective
Date, its reasonable estimated fees and out-of-pocket expenses through the A&R Effective Date, and shall pay all additional reasonable
fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP required to be paid by the Borrower hereunder and on the immediately
following Payment Date after its receipt of an invoice therefor in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7 or 2.8, as applicable.


 


Section
2.12.     Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.


 


(a)               If
either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted, made
or implemented after the A&R Effective Date, shall (a) subject any Affected Party 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, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included
in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or
credit extended by, any Affected Party or (c) impose any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting the ownership interest in the
Collateral conveyed to the Lenders hereunder or any Affected Party’s rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document,
the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an
Affected Party under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on the later of the next Payment Date and 30 days
after receipt by the Borrower of demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the
basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.


 






    56


     


    

 


(b)              
If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive
or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank
or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected
Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, in each case, adopted, made or implemented after the A&R Effective
Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction,
change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, on the later of the next Payment Date and 30 days after receipt by the
Borrower of demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand),
the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such
reduction; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.12(b) to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and
(y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel
III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in law” for the purposes of clause (i) above, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted or issued.


 


(c)              
If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section  2.12 that
occurs after the A&R Effective Date, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing
liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding
or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the later of the next Payment Date and 30 days after receipt by the Borrower of demand by
such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse
such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.


 


(d)              In
determining any amount provided for in this Section  2.12, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section  2.12 shall submit to the Collateral Manager a
written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(e)             
If a Eurodollar Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of “Eurodollar Disruption Event” with
respect to any Lender occurred, such Lender shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Lender
in respect of which Interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate shall immediately be converted into Advances Outstanding in respect of which Interest
accrues at the Base Rate in accordance with the definition of “Interest Rate”.


 


(f)              
Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section  2.12 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 for
any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of such Affected Party’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect,
then such six (6) month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.


 


(g)              
Each Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Borrower may reasonably request that will avoid
the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section  2.12 or Section 2.13;
provided that, no Lender shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous
to such Lender. In no event will Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section  2.12 which relates
to any other entities to which Lenders provide financing. In no event will Borrower be responsible for any increased amounts or reduced
return referred to in this Section 2.12 resulting from any Lender subject to a Bail-In Action being deemed a Defaulting Lender
or such Lender not receiving interest on Advances that it does not fund as a result of a Bail-In Action.


 






    57


     


    

 


Section
2.13.     Taxes.


 


(a)              
Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.


 


(b)              
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined
in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant 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 2.13)
the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 


(c)              
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.


 


(d)              
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, on the later of the next Payment Date and
30 days after receipt by the Borrower of 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 2.13) 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.


 


(e)              
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable
to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.16(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register
and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection
with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant 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 Transaction Document or otherwise payable by
the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph
(e).


 


(f)               
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant
to this Section 2.13, 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.


 






    58


     


    

 


(g)              
Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent, at
the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested
by the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Collateral
Custodian or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.13(g)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall
not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(ii)             
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:


 


(1)              
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;


 


(2)              
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and
the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Collateral
Custodian or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:


 


i.             
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed 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 Transaction 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;


 


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 L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed 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, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-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 L-4 on behalf of each such direct
and indirect partner;


 






    59


     


    

 


(3)              
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and
the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Collateral
Custodian 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, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made; and


 


(4)              
if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian 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, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to
determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold
from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date
of this Agreement.


 


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


 


(h)               Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of
any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other
Person.


 


(i)                
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 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 obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section
2.14.     Discretionary Sales.


 


(a)              
Discretionary Sales. The Borrower shall be permitted to sell Loans (each, a “Discretionary Sale”) subject
to the following conditions:


 


(i)            
no Collateral Manager Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary
Sale, no Collateral Manager Default, Default or Event of Default shall have occurred;


 


(ii)           
immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, the Required Advance Reduction Amount shall be (x) zero or (y) subject
to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), an amount less than the Required Advance Reduction Amount immediately
prior to giving effect to such Discretionary Sale;


 


(iii)           
the Borrower shall have delivered a Borrowing Base Certificate to the Administrative Agent;


 


(iv)         
such Discretionary Sale shall be made by the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, to an unaffiliated third party purchaser
in a transaction (i) reflecting arms-length market terms and (ii) in which the Borrower makes no representations, warranties or covenants
and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party to the Discretionary Sale (other than that the Borrower has good title
thereto, free and clear of all Liens and has the right to sell the related Loan), provided that, the Borrower may make a Discretionary
Sale to an Affiliate of the Borrower with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion;


 


(v)           
 on the related Discretionary Sale Date, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Custodian, as applicable, shall have received,
as applicable, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount sufficient to reduce the Advances Outstanding
such that, after giving effect to the transfer of the Loans that are the subject of such Discretionary Sale, the Required Advance Reduction
Amount will be equal to zero plus (b) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest then due and owing to the extent reasonably determined
by the Administrative Agent to be attributable to that portion of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid in connection with the Discretionary
Sale plus (c) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of all other Obligations due and owing to the Administrative Agent, each applicable

Section
2.15.     Refunding of Swingline Advances.


 


(a)              
Each Swingline Advance shall be refunded by the Revolving Lenders on the second Business Day following the date of such Swingline
Advance (each such date, a “Swingline Refund Date”). Such refundings shall be made by the Revolving Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall thereafter be reflected as Advances of the Revolving Lenders on the books and records
of the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall fund its respective Pro Rata Share of Advances as required to repay Swingline
Advances outstanding to the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 noon on the applicable Swingline Refund Date.


 


(b)              
The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender, within twenty-two (22) days of demand, the amount of such Swingline Advances to
the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Advances requested
or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the
Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among
all the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Nothing in this clause (b) is intended to or shall relieve
any Lender from any default in its funding obligations under this Agreement.


 


(c)               
Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Advances in accordance with the terms of
this Section 2.15 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation,
non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. Further, each Revolving Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior
to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Advances pursuant to this Section 2.15, an Insolvency Event relating to the Borrower
or the Collateral Manager shall have occurred, each Revolving Lender will, on the date the applicable Advance would have been made, purchase
an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Advance to be refunded in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
amount of such Swingline Advance. Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds,
the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Revolving Lender a certificate evidencing
such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received
from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender receives any
payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest
was outstanding and funded).


 


(d)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.15, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to
make any Swingline Advance at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements
(which may include the delivery of cash collateral) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Swingline
Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iii)) with respect to
any such Defaulting Lender.


 


Section
2.16.     Defaulting Lenders.


 


(a)              
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)                
That 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 Section 12.1.


 






    62


     


    

 


(ii)             
Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender; third, if
so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that
Defaulting Lender of any participation in a Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as
required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender
to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Revolving Lenders or the Swingline Lender
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Revolving Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result
of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
and eighth, to that 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 Advances or funded participations in Swingline Loans in respect of which that Defaulting
Lender has not fully funded its Pro Rata Share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances and funded participations in
Swingline Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances, or funded
participations in Swingline Loans, of that Defaulting Lender. 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 or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


(iii)           
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting
Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.15(c), the “Pro Rata Share”
of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that
(x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance
or fund participations in Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting
Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances of that Lender.


 


(iv)            
Promptly on demand by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrower shall prepay Swingline Loans
in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Swingline Lender (after giving effect to clause (iii) above).


 


(v)             
For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Non-Usage
Fee 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)              
 If the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender in their respective sole discretion determine that a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (provided in the case of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of such term
or that has defaulted in the funding of an Advance, which default remains uncured, such determination shall require the consent of the
Borrower), the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to
the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their
Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iii) above), whereupon that 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 Borrowers 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.

No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by each Transaction Document to which it is a party and
the fulfillment of the terms thereof will not (i) in any material respect conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and

under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument

Solvency. The Borrower is not the subject of any Insolvency Proceedings or Insolvency Event. The transactions under the
Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party do not and will not render the Borrower not Solvent.

perfected under Article 9 of the UCC and is prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against
creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower;

 “certificated securities”, “uncertificated securities”, “securities accounts”, “investment property”
and “proceeds” (each as defined in the applicable UCC) and such other categories of collateral under the applicable UCC as
to which the Borrower has complied with its obligations under Section 4.1(m)(i);


 


(iii)           
with respect to Collateral that constitutes Security Entitlements:

 Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that each Account shall be deemed to be a Securities Account. Each of
the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Custodian or any other Securities Intermediary that holds any Cash or other Financial
Asset for the Borrower in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and other property (subject to Section 6.4(e)
below with respect to any property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated
as a Financial Asset and (B) the jurisdiction governing the Account, all Cash and other Financial Assets credited to the Account and the
 “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) shall, in each case,
be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order of,
or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Custodian or
other Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account.


 


(e)              
Underlying Instruments. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be
applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Custodian nor any
Securities Intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower of, or the grant by the
Borrower of a security interest to the Administrative Agent in, any Loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments
delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments,
in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation
any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan transferred to the Administrative
Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Adjustments. If (i) the Collateral Manager makes a deposit into the Collection Account on behalf of the Borrower in respect
of a Collection of a Loan and such Collection was received by the Collateral Manager in the form of a check that is not honored for any
reason or (ii) the Collateral Manager makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less
than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Collateral Manager shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited
into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check
is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.


 


Section
6.5.         Realization Upon Defaulted or Delinquent Loans.


 


The Collateral Manager
will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Underlying Instruments to exercise available remedies relating to a Loan that is
delinquent in the payment of any amounts due thereunder or with respect to which the related Obligor defaults in the performance of
any of its obligations thereunder in order to maximize recoveries thereunder. The Collateral Manager will comply in all material
respects with the Credit and Collection Policy and Applicable Law in exercising such remedies, including but not limited to
acceleration and foreclosure, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of
Obligors by foreclosing upon and causing the sale of such Underlying Assets at public or private sale. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, cause the sale
of any such Underlying Assets to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value
thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager delivered to the
Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan, the Underlying Assets, the sale price of the Underlying Assets and certifying that such
sale price is the fair market value of such Underlying Assets.

THE COLLATERAL CUSTODIAN


 


Section
7.1.         Designation of Collateral Custodian.


 


(a)              
Initial Collateral Custodian. The role of collateral custodian with respect to the Underlying Instruments shall be conducted
by the Person designated as Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.1. Until the
Administrative Agent shall give to Wells Fargo a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, Wells Fargo is hereby appointed as, and hereby
accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


(b)              
Successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice
from the Administrative Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.5,
the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder.


 


Section
7.2.         Duties of Collateral Custodian.


 


(a)              
Appointment. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Custodian to
act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Custodian by this Agreement. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such agency
appointment to act as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Collateral Custodian
pursuant to the terms hereof.


 


(b)              
Duties. On or before the initial Funding Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 7.5, the Collateral
Custodian shall perform, on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:


 


(i)                 The
Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Required Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the
definition of “Eligible Loans” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the
Secured Parties and subject to the Lien thereon in favor of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Within five
(5) Business Days of its receipt of any Underlying Instruments, the Collateral Custodian shall review the Required Loan Documents
delivered to it to confirm that (A) if the files delivered per the following sentence indicate that any document must contain an
original signature, each such document appears to bear the original signature, or if the file indicates that such document must
contain a copy of a signature, that such copies appear to bear a reproduction of such signature and (B) based on a review of the
applicable note, the related original Loan balance, Loan identification number and Obligor name with respect to such Loan is
referenced on the related Loan List and is not a duplicate Loan, and the related original balance (based on a comparison to the note
or assignment agreement, as applicable) is greater than or equal to the applicable loan balance listed on the Loan Tape (such items
(A) through (B) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the
Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Underlying Instruments hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the
Collateral Manager shall provide to the Collateral Custodian an electronic file (in EXCEL or a comparable format acceptable to the
Collateral Custodian) that contains a list of all Required Loan Documents and whether they require original signatures, the Loan
identification number and the name of the Obligor and the original Loan balance with respect to each related Loan. If, at the
conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian shall determine that (1) the original Loan balances of the Loans with respect to
which it has received Underlying Instruments is less than as set forth on the electronic file, the Collateral Custodian shall
immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager of such discrepancy, and (2) any Review Criteria is not
satisfied, the Collateral Custodian shall within one (1) Business Day notify the Collateral Manager of such determination and
provide the Collateral Manager with a list of the non-complying Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy.
The Collateral Manager shall have twenty (20) Business Days to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. If after the
conclusion of such time period the Collateral Manager has still not cured any non-compliance by a Loan with any Review Criteria, the
Collateral Custodian shall promptly notify the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination
by providing a written report to such persons identifying, with particularity, each Loan and each of the applicable Review Criteria
that such Loan fails to satisfy. In addition, if requested in writing in the form of Exhibit E by the Collateral Manager and
approved by the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the
Collateral Custodian shall return the Underlying Instruments for any Loan which fails to satisfy a Review Criteria to the Borrower.
Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Underlying Instruments.

(ii)             
In taking and retaining custody of the Underlying Instruments, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent
of the Secured Parties; provided that the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority
of any Lien on the Underlying Instruments or the instruments therein; and provided further that the Collateral Custodian’s
duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. All Underlying Instruments that are originals
or copies shall be clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments maintained by the Collateral Custodian. All Underlying Instruments
that are delivered to the Collateral Custodian in electronic format shall be saved onto disks and/or onto the Collateral Custodian’s
secure computer system, and maintained in a manner so as to permit retrieval and access.


 


(iv)            
The Collateral Custodian shall make payments in accordance with Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 (the “Payment
Duties”).


 


(v)               On
each Reporting Date, the Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager
(in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent) identifying each Loan for which it holds Underlying Instruments, the
non-complying Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that any non-complying Loan fails to satisfy.


 






    105 


     


    

 


(vi)

Agent, Borrower and Collateral Manager within one (1) Business Day of receipt by the Collateral Custodian of such Borrowing Base Certificate.
The Collateral Custodian shall also make required calculations for its Payment Duties as of the Determination Date related to such Payment

the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager) for the Collateral Manager’s (or Administrative Agent’s, as applicable)
review no later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Payment Date. The approval of such calculations (which may be by email) by the
Collateral Manager (or after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent) shall constitute instructions by the
Collateral Manager (or after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent) to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw
on the related Payment Date from the applicable Collection Account and pay or transfer amounts set forth in such report in the manner
specified, and in accordance with the priorities established, in Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, as applicable.

and its implementing regulations, the Collateral Custodian in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required
to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account
with the Collateral Custodian. The Borrower hereby agrees that it shall provide the Collateral Custodian with such information as it may
reasonably request including, but not limited to, the Borrower’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information
that will help the Collateral Custodian identify and verify the Borrower’s identity such as organizational documents, certificate
of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.


 


(ix)            
The Collateral Custodian shall create a collateral database with respect to the Collateral (the “Collateral Database”),
and update the Collateral Database daily for changes, including to reflect the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, based upon,
and to the extent of, information furnished to the Collateral Custodian by the Borrower as may be reasonably required by the Collateral
Custodian.


 






    106 


     


    

 


(x)

therein, and any withdrawals therefrom and, on each Business Day, provide to the Collateral Manager daily reports reflecting such actions
as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day.


 


(xi)            
The Collateral Custodian shall provide such other information with respect to the Collateral as may be routinely maintained by
the Collateral Custodian or as may be required by this Agreement, in each case as the Borrower, Collateral Manager or the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request from time to time.


 


(xii)         
The Collateral Custodian shall notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent upon receiving notices,
reports or proxies or any other requests relating to corporate actions affecting the Collateral.


 


(xiii)       
In performing its duties, the Collateral Custodian shall comply with the standard of care and express terms of the Transaction
Documents with respect to the collateral that it holds hereunder.


 


Section
7.3.         Merger or Consolidation.


 


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


 


Section
7.4.         Collateral Custodian Compensation.


 


As
compensation for its collateral custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to a Collateral Custodian Fee
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive
the Collateral Custodian Fee shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 7.5
or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral Custodian (the
 “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral
Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Custodian
has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder, and has received all Underlying Instruments held by the
previous Collateral Custodian. The appointment of any successor Collateral Custodian that is not an Affiliate of Wells Fargo shall
(unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) require the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld). In the case of a removal of the Collateral Custodian, if no successor custodian shall have been appointed

ARTICLE

SECURITY INTEREST


 


Section
8.1.         Grant of Security Interest.


 


(a)               This
Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the Advances effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Lenders to
the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Original
Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a Lien and continuing security interest in all of the
Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or
arising) all of the Collateral, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by
lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or
indirect, or absolute or contingent. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall
not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by
any Applicable Law not in effect as of the date hereof or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to
such Applicable Law. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect
the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party
shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any
of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in
connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum 2.0% above the rate per
annum applicable to Advances, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute
Obligations secured hereby.


 






    111 


     


    

 


(b)              
The grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation
or an assumption by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person
in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties
and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative Agent,
as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations
under the Collateral, and (c) none of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under
the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any
of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.


 


(c)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian
and each Lender hereby agree to treat, and to cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat, the Advances as indebtedness for U.S.
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and shall file its tax returns or
reports, or cause its Affiliates to file such tax returns or reports, in a manner consistent with such treatment.


 


Section
8.2.         Release of Lien on Collateral.


 


At
the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related
Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) such Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale pursuant to Section 2.14 or
a sale pursuant to Section 6.5 or (iii) this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 12.6, the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties will, to the extent requested by the Collateral Manager, release its interest
in such Collateral. In connection with any sale of such Collateral, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will
after the deposit by the Collateral Manager of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the
Collateral Manager, execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any
other releases and instruments as the Collateral Manager may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such
Collateral; provided that, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or
warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing
in this section shall diminish the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Proceeds of any such
sale.

Section
8.3.         Further Assurances.


 


The
provisions of Section 12.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under Section 8.1 as well
as to the Advances hereunder.


 


Section
8.4.         Remedies.


 


Subject
to the provisions of Section 9.2, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(l)), the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall have, with
respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 8.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured
party upon default under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred
to below) to or upon the Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby waived), may in such circumstances transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Administrative Agent’s name or
the name of its nominee or nominees, and/or forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales,
at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions (including by lease or by deferred payment arrangement) as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk and/or may take such other actions as may be
available under applicable law, subject to the provisions of Section 9.2. Subject to Section 9.2, the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any
such private sale or sales, auction or closed tender, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Borrower further agrees,
at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select (on its behalf and on behalf of the Secured Parties), whether at the
Borrower's premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental
to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order
as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the UCC, need the
Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising
out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements
of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section
8.5.         Waiver of Certain Laws.


 


Each of the Borrower and the
Collateral Manager agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will
set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in
any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement,
or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately
after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and
all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative
Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety
or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.


 


Section
8.6.         Power of Attorney.


 


Each of the Borrower and
the Collateral Manager hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of
substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided
for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than
an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(l)) (and, with respect to the Collateral Manager, during the continuance of a
Collateral Manager Default), including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance
for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale
or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale,
assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d)
to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so
requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as
may be designated in any such request. The power of attorney granted by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.6
supersedes any other power of attorney or similar rights granted by the Borrower to any other party (including, without limitation,
the Collateral Manager) under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement; provided that, the
Collateral Manager may continue to exercise its rights under this Agreement until the Collateral Manager has received notice of the
Collateral Custodian’s exercise of its power of attorney hereunder.

shall be irrevocably forfeited by the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such parties shall have
the right to participate in any sale pursuant to Section 9.2(b)).

delay by either the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to confirm satisfactory completion in a timely manner of any and all actions they
requested in order to maintain compliance with the UCC or such other Applicable Law;


 


(vii)         
any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment with

the failure of the Collateral Custodian to remit any amounts held in the Collection Account pursuant to the instructions of the
Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent (to the extent such Person is entitled to give such instructions in accordance with the

(ix)            
any inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication system of, any state in which an Obligor may
be located as a result of the failure of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to qualify to do business or file any notice or business
activity report or any similar report;

Code;


 


(xvii)     
the use of the proceeds of any Advance in a manner other than as provided in this Agreement;

insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault
of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that, the Borrower shall not be
required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 10.1(a).

Agent, the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.


 


Section
10.2.     Indemnities by the Collateral Manager.

by any such Indemnified Party by reason of (x) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Manager or (y) any acts or
omissions of the Collateral Manager arising out of a breach of its obligations and duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction

further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each
Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents,
and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably
request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable
any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the
Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments
thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may
be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent to take
any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to
the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but
shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the
direction of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder
if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable
Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In
the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative
Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s
receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

cause by each of the Lenders acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a
successor Administrative Agent with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld. Each of the Borrower and each Lender agree that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval

such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders

and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except,
in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 12.1.

No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Loans is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


(d)              
The provisions of this Section 12.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 


Section
12.12. Protection of Right, Title and Interest in the Collateral; Further Action Evidencing Advances.


 


(a)              
The Collateral Manager shall take such actions as are necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to enable the
Administrative Agent to promptly record, register or file, as applicable, this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all financing statements
and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent
for the Secured Parties, and of the Secured Parties to the Collateral, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all
in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Administrative
Agent, as agent of the Secured Parties, hereunder to all property comprising the Collateral. The Borrower shall cooperate fully with the
Collateral Manager in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill
the intent of this Section 12.12(a).


 


(b)              
The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly authorize, execute and deliver all instruments and
documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence
the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce
their rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.


 


(c)              
If the Borrower or the Collateral Manager fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such
Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article X.
The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf
of the Borrower (i) to execute on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative
Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral,
including those that describe the Collateral as “all assets,” or words of similar effect, and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic
or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices
as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority
of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.


 






    133


     


    

 


(d)              
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, not earlier than six (6) months and not later than three
(3) months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statement in connection with any of the Existing Loan
and Security Agreements (as the case may be) or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any
Advance hereunder, unless the Covenant Compliance Period shall have ended, authorize, execute and deliver and file or cause to be filed
an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement.


 


Section
12.13. Confidentiality.


 


(a)              
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Custodian and the Borrower shall
maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and all information with
respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the business and beneficial ownership of the Borrower and the Collateral
Manager hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating, execution and administration
of the transactions contemplated herein, including any such information obtained pursuant to any right of visitation, inspection, audit
or request hereunder or the other terms of this Agreement, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose
such information to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys, investors, potential investors (in the case of the Collateral
Manager) or other agents, including any Approved Valuation Firm, engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable
activities with respect to the transactions and Loans contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”);
provided that, each Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Secured Parties, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Custodian and the Borrower that such information shall be used solely in connection
with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower and its affiliates, (ii) disclose the existence of
the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law and (iv) disclose
the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration)
involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any
of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the
financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 12.13(a) include, without limitation, all
fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of Default, Collateral Manager Defaults, and priority of payment provisions.


 


(b)               Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby consents to the disclosure of any
nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Secured Parties by each
other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Secured Parties to any prospective or actual assignee or
participant of any of them provided such Person agrees to hold such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, or
(iii) by the Administrative Agent, and the Secured Parties to any Rating Agency, any commercial paper dealer or provider of a
surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Lender, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants
and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In
addition, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, may disclose any such nonpublic information as required pursuant to any
law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether
or not having the force or effect of law).


 






    134


     


    

 



 


(c)              
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all
information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii) disclosure of any and all information (a) if required to do so by any applicable statute,
law, rule or regulation, (b) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any respects
of the Administrative Agents’, the Secured Parties’, the Collateral Custodian’s or the Borrower’s business or
that of their affiliates, (c) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory
authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower or
an officer, director, employee, member, manager, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (d) in any preliminary or
final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document approved in advance by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager
or (e) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent (including any potential sub-or-successor servicer), employee or attorney
of the Collateral Custodian having a need to know the same, if the Collateral Custodian advises such recipient of the confidential nature
of the information being disclosed and such person agrees to the terms hereof for the benefit of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager;
or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, as applicable.


 


(d)              
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall each have the right to keep
confidential from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian and/or the Secured Parties, for such period of time as the Borrower
and/or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, determines is reasonable (i) any information that the Borrower and/or the Collateral
Manager, as the case may be, reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets and (ii) any other information that the Borrower,
the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates, or the officers, employees, members, managers or directors of any of the foregoing,
is required by law as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel.


 


(e)              
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Custodian will keep the information of the Obligors confidential
in the manner required by the applicable Underlying Instruments.


 


Section
12.14. Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.


 


This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contain the final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written
understandings.


 






    135


     


    

 


Section
12.15. Waiver of Setoff.


 


Each of the parties hereto
hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against any Lender
or its assets.


 


Section
12.16. Status of Lenders; Assignments by the Lenders.


 


(a)               Each
Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A of
the Securities Act. Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (such consent from
the Borrower not to be (x) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (y) required if (A) a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (B) such assignment is to any Affiliate of a Lender or (C) such assignment is required by any change in
Applicable Law), at any time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in or sell any Advance (or
portion thereof) or its Commitment hereunder (or any portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, as applicable, (i) no
transfer of any Advance (or any portion thereof) or its Commitment hereunder (or any portion thereof) shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the Securities Act and such laws, (ii) the transfer is made only to a person who is (A) either an “accredited
investor” as defined in paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or any entity
in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs or to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule
144A under the Securities Act and (B) a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the 1940 Act, (iii) no such assignment,
grant or sale of a participation interest shall be to an Ineligible Assignee, (iv) at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default or the Reinvestment Period End Date, such Person shall have a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or
better by S&P and “A3” or better by Moody’s, (v) Wells Fargo shall (A) unless required by Applicable Law
(including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule) not assign more than 49% of the Facility Amount and (B) retain all Eligible Loan
approval rights pursuant to clause (B) of the definition of “Eligible Loan” and (vi) in the case of an assignment of any
Advance (or any portion thereof) or its Commitment hereunder (or of any portion thereof) the assignee executes and delivers to the
Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully executed Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit
I hereto. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to the
applicable Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to
such parties. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(g) (it being understood
that the documentation required under Section 2.13(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 12.16(a); provided that, such
participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.13, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a change in Applicable Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. The
Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of the Borrower’s
rights, obligations or duties under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Wells Fargo shall not need prior consent of the
Borrower to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties and assets,
including without limitation any Advance (or portion thereof) or its Commitment hereunder (or any portion thereof), to any Person
and (ii) if any Lender other than (x) the Administrative Agent or (y) a Lender which is administered by the Administrative Agent or
an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (A) becomes a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender shall have been deemed to no longer be
a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(b), (B) becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, unless such Lender shall have approved
the Applicable Amendment, (C) shall have requested compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b)
or 2.13, unless such Lender shall have withdrawn such request or (D) shall have notified the Borrower of a Eurodollar
Disruption Event (other than pursuant to clause (d) of such term) as to such Lender, unless such Lender shall have withdrawn such
notice, then, in each case, each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have the right to cause such Person to assign
its entire interest in the Advances and this Agreement to a transferee selected by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as
applicable), in an assignment which satisfies the conditions set forth in the second sentence of this Section 12.16(a).


 






    136


     


    

 


(b)              
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its lending offices,
a copy of each transfer pursuant to Section 12.16(a) delivered to it 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 Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Transfer by a Lender of its rights hereunder may be effected only
by the recording by the Administrative Agent of the identity of the transferee in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.


 


Each Lender that sells a participation
interest hereunder shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 such participant’s interest in the obligations
under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating
to a participant's interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice
to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register.


 






    137


     


    

 


(c)              
 The Collateral Custodian may, at any time, assign all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however,
that any such assignee shall (i) be a bank or other financial institution organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
or of any state thereof, (ii) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $200,000,000, (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state banking authority, (v) have a rating of
at least “Baa1” by Moody’s and “BBB+” by S&P and (vi) have an office within the United States.


 


Section
12.17. Heading and Exhibits.


 


The headings herein are for
purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits
attached hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes.


 


Section
12.18.  Intent of the Parties.


 


It is the intent and understanding
of each party hereto that the Advances are loans from the Lenders to the Borrower and do not constitute a “security” within
the meaning of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC.


 


Section
12.19.  Termination of the Safekeeping Agreement.


 


The parties hereto hereby
agree that the Safekeeping Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011, among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian
was previously terminated and superseded by the Existing Loan and Security Agreements and shall be further superseded by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents in all respects.


 


Section
12.20.  Effect of Amendment and Restatement.


 


On the A&R Effective Date,
the Existing A&R Loan and Security Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in their respective entireties by this Agreement.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and other Transaction Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection
herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a payment, reborrowing, or termination of the Obligations under the Existing A&R Loan and
Security Agreement as in effect prior to the A&R Effective Date and (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended
and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement. The Borrower hereby reaffirms its duties
and obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party (such reaffirmation is solely for the convenience of the parties
hereto and is not required by the terms of the Existing A&R Loan and Security Agreement). Each reference to a Loan and Security Agreement
in any Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a reference to such Loan and Security Agreement as amended and restated hereby.


 






    138


     


    

 


Section 12.21.
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions


 


Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto
acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent
such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents
to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:


 


(a)              
the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any Lender party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and


 


(b)              
the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


 (i)                a reduction in full or in part or
cancellation of any such liability;


 


 (ii)               a conversion of all, or a portion of,
such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution
that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in
lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or


 


 (iii)                the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.


 


Section
12.22. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. To the extent
that this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document constitutes a QFC, the Borrower agrees with each Secured Party as of the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date as follows:


 


(a)              
In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement
and/or any other Transaction Document, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document
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 this Agreement and/or any other the Transaction Document, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United
States or a state of the United States.


 


(b)              
In the event that a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document 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 this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United
States.
