The Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2 3 :00 p.m . shall in each case be deemed received on the next following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided  that this sentence shall not apply to payments made on the Maturity Date without giving effect to the proviso in the definition of such term.





(b)    (i)  Funding by  Lenders;  Presumption  by  Administrative Agent .  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12 3 :00 noon p.m.  on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02  (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02 ) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

ANNEX C





DEFINITIONS RELATING TO COLLATERAL ASSETS





“ Additional Current Pay Criteria ” means criteria satisfied with respect to any Collateral Asset (other than a DIP Loan) if (i) in the event that the issuer of such Collateral Asset has made a Distressed Exchange Offer, (A) such Collateral Asset is subject to the Distressed Exchange Offer or ranks equal to or higher in priority than the obligation subject to the Distressed Exchange Offer, (B) in the case of a Distressed Exchange Offer that is a repurchase of debt for Cash, the repurchased debt will be extinguished and (C) the Borrower does not hold any obligation of the issuer making the Distressed Exchange Offer that ranks lower in priority than the obligation subject to the Distressed Exchange Offer and (ii) such Collateral Asset has a Current Market Value Percentage of at least the lesser of (x) 80% of its par value and (y) the S&P/LSTA U. S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index (Price) as reported on Bloomberg page SPBDLLB Index.





“ Aggregate Market Value ” means the aggregate of the Current Market Values of each Eligible Collateral Asset (whether or not included in the Borrowing Base) plus  the par value of all Cash and Cash Equivalents owned by the Borrower and credited to the Collateral Account; provided, however, that until such time as the Aggregate Market Value first exceeds $200 million, the Aggregate Market Value will be deemed to be $200 million solely for purposes of determining compliance with the Portfolio Criteria. Unless otherwise specified, references to Collateral Assets comprising specified percentages of the Aggregate Market Value in the Eligibility Criteria and Portfolio Criteria shall be based on the Current Market Value of the relevant Collateral Assets (based on Dollar Equivalents for any Collateral Assets not denominated in Dollars).





“ Approved Dealer ” means each of the following entities or their Affiliates (or any successor thereto): Banco Santander, Bank of America, Bank of Montreal, Barclays, BNP Paribas, CIT, Citibank, Credit Agricole, Credit Suisse Securities (USA), LLC, Deutsche Bank, GE Antares  Capital, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JP Morgan, Jefferies, Key Bank, Lloyds, Macquarie, Morgan Stanley, Nomura, PNC, Royal Bank of Canada, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Scotia Bank, Société Générale, SunTrust, Toronto Dominion, UBS, US Bank, Unicredit, Wells Fargo or any other independent, internationally recognized third-party dealer agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent; provided  that (i) none of the Borrower or its Affiliates shall be an Approved Dealer and (ii) Bank of America is not an Approved Dealer for the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the First Look Bidder (as defined in the Security Agreement).





“ Bank Loan ” means any loan to an obligor arranged by a bank, finance company or other financial institution. A participation in any loan is not a Bank Loan.





“ Borrowing Base ” means, on any date of determination, the (A) aggregate of the amounts determined with respect to each Eligible Collateral Asset equal to (i) the Current Market Value of  such  Eligible  Collateral  Asset times  (ii)  the  Advance  Rate  applicable  to  such  Eligible

10 2 :00 a p .m. (New York time) on the following day). If such firm bid is provided by Borrower or the Administrative Agent it shall be applied as the Current Market Price until the next Business Day, otherwise the Collateral Administrator’s original determination will be used for that day.





The Current Market Price will be expressed as a percentage of outstanding par amount, will be adjusted for or will exclude adjustment for accrued interest in accordance with market convention for the relevant asset.





“ Current Market Value ” means with respect to any Collateral Asset on any date of determination, the Current Market Price for such Collateral Asset multiplied by the current face amount for such Collateral Asset as of such date determined pursuant to the Collateral Administration Agreement. The Current Market Value of any Collateral Asset which is a revolving loan or delay draw term loan shall be determined as (a) the Current Market Price of the funded portion of such revolving loan or delay draw term loan times such funded portion minus  (b) an amount equal to (i) the unfunded commitment thereof times  (ii) one minus  the Current Market Price, and may be negative. Each Current Market Value will be expressed as a Dollar Equivalent if applicable.





“ Current Market Value Percentage ” means, with respect to any Collateral Asset as of any date of determination, the amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Current Market Value of such Collateral Asset on such date divided by the principal amount of such Collateral Asset on such date. For the purpose of calculating the Current Market Value Percentage on any day, the Current Market Value Percentage on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to be the Current Market Value Percentage on the immediately preceding Business Day.





“ Current Pay Obligation ” means any Collateral Asset (other than a DIP Loan) that would otherwise be a Defaulted Obligation but as to which (i) no default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the payment of interest and any contractual principal or other scheduled payments (if any) and the most recent interest and contractual principal payment due (if any) was paid in cash and the Investment Adviser reasonably expects that the next interest payment due will be paid in cash on the scheduled payment date (which judgment may not subsequently be called into question as a result of subsequent events); (ii) if the issuer of such Collateral Asset is in a bankruptcy proceeding, the issuer has made all payments that the bankruptcy court has approved; (iii) for so long as Moody’s provides a rating of any Collateral Asset, such Collateral Asset has a facility rating from Moody’s of either (A) at least “Caa1” (and if “Caa1,” not on watch for downgrade) and its Current Market Value is at least 80% of its par value or (B) at least “Caa2” (and if “Caa2,” not on watch for downgrade) and its Current Market Value is at least 85% of its par value ( provided that for purposes of this definition, with respect to a Collateral Asset already owned by the Borrower whose Moody’s Rating is based on a facility rating from Moody’s and such facility rating is withdrawn, the Moody’s Rating of such Collateral Asset shall be the last outstanding facility rating before the withdrawal); and (iv) the Additional Current Pay Criteria are satisfied; provided  that to the extent the Aggregate Market Value of all Collateral Assets that would otherwise be Current Pay Obligations exceeds 7.5% of the Aggregate Commitments, such excess over 7.5% shall constitute Defaulted Obligations.
