THE FACILITY 

Section 2.01 Advances; I/O Notional Loan. 

(a) Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Closing Date until the end of the Revolving
Period, the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) may request that the Lenders make Advances secured by the Collateral, in an aggregate amount up to the Availability as of such date, to the Borrower for the purposes permitted herein.
Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance,
(i) an Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result therefrom (and, as applicable for each such Eligible
Currency, Advances Outstanding shall exceed any of the Borrowing Base (AUD), the Borrowing Base (CAD), the Borrowing Base (DKK), the Borrowing Base (EUR), the Borrowing Base (GBP), the Borrowing Base (NOK), the Borrowing Base (NZD) or the Borrowing
Base (SEK)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Lender’s unused Commitment then in effect. 

(b) Promissory Note. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of
the Borrower (in form and 

  
 -79- 

 (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be
paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 5:30 p.m. on the day when due in Dollars or in such other Eligible Currency in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as is designated by the
Administrative Agent. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other
Person for any reason. Each Advance and I/O Notional Loan shall accrue interest at the applicable Yield Rate for its Eligible Currency for each day during each applicable Remittance Period. All computations of interest and all computations with
respect to the Yield and the Yield Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed; provided that with respect to GBP Advances, such computations shall be computed
on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days
elapsed.. Each Advance shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day beginning on, and including, the
Advance Date with respect to such Advance and ending on, but excluding, the date such Advance is repaid in full. Yield on the I/O Notional Loan due on each Distribution Date shall be equal to the applicable interest due thereon with respect to each
such Distribution Date, which I/O Notional Loan shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day during the Remittance Period. 

(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 payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. To the extent that Available Collections are insufficient on any Payment Date
to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(v) and Section 2.04(b)(i), such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall be payable on the next succeeding Payment Date until repaid in
full. 
 (c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify
such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender related thereto, including, any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous
sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated
to pay or repay any amounts in respect of the I/O Notional Loan other than interest in accordance with Section 2.01 and Section 2.04, as applicable.

 Section 2.09 Unused Fee. 

The Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender, an unused fee (the “Unused
Fee”) payable in arrears for each Remittance Period, in an amount for such Remittance Period equal to the product of (a) the number of days in such Remittance Period divided by three hundred and sixty (360), (b) the applicable
Unused Fee Rate and (c) the positive difference, if any, of the Facility Amount less the greater of (i) the daily average amount of the Advances Outstanding during such Remittance Period and (ii) the Minimum Utilization;
provided that if either the Facility Amount or the Minimum Utilization changes within such Remittance Period, then each period during such Remittance Period in which the Facility Amount and the Minimum Utilization remain unchanged will be
deemed to be a separate period for the purposes of calculating the Unused Fee, and the Unused Fee payable hereunder for such Remittance Period shall be the sum of the Unused Fees calculated with respect to each such period. 

Section 2.10 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, liquidity or
similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate,
participant, successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”); 
 (ii) impose on any
Affected Party or the London or other applicable offshore
interbank market (or, to the extent a different Benchmark applies, the market for such Benchmark) any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or Advances or participation therein or the obligation or right of any Lender to make Advances hereunder; 

(iii) change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party; or

 (iv) change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto)
assesses, deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;

such Affected Party of funding or making or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or otherwise performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents or to increase the cost to such Affected Party or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party, whether of principal, interest or otherwise or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interest or loans received or held by such Affected Party,
then on each Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.04 the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 -93- 

 (b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or on the capital of Affected Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such
Affected Party to a level below that which such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s policies and the policies of such Affected
Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time on each Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.04 the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of an Affected
Party providing an explanation of the applicable Change in Law and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. The Borrower shall pay such Affected Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the Payment Date following receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a
waiver of any Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred and eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) In the event that any Affected Party shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party to make any purchase or loan or maintain any purchase or loan) as a result of any Advance not being made in accordance with a
request therefor under Section 2.02, then, on the Payment Date following written notice from such Affected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party, the amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice
(which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower. 

(f)
 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (i) the payment of any
principal of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Remittance Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Remittance Period
applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.04.

clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Recipient, 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 amount payable by the Borrower to such
Person will be increased as necessary (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes (including, any Taxes
on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(iv)
 Benchmark Replacement (Non-Dollar). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this

may include spread adjustments applicable to such rate or any rate based on such rate) to be used to calculate such Benchmark, which benchmark rate may be (i) a comparable successor rate that, at such time, is broadly accepted by the U.S.
syndicated loan market for loans denominated the applicable currency (as applicable) in lieu of the then-applicable Benchmark for such currency
or
(ii) such other benchmark rate designated by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower.

circumstances described in clause (i) or clause (ii) above have arisen and (y) the Benchmark for such currency cannot be determined for such Remittance Period in accordance with the definition of the applicable Benchmark, then until
an alternate benchmark rate shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph, for any Advance denominated in such currency, the Benchmark shall be equal to the benchmark for the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds in such currency (as
determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent by written notice to the Borrower).

Section 12.01(c)-(e),

SOFR Advance: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition
thereof, or 
 (ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Remittance Period with respect
to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Advance, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent 
  

the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender.
