 (b) In the event of the death or total disability of the Optionee while providing Service or within three months after the cessation of providing Service to the Grantor, the Option may be exercised (if and to the extent that the deceased Optionee was entitled to do so at the date of his death or total disability) by a legatee or legatees of the Optionee under such Optionee’s last will and testament or by his personal representatives or distributees, at any time within twelve months after his death or total disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Board in its discretion), but in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option. 
  
 6. Assignability of the Option.

Loans shall not be considered funded for purposes of the definition of the term Market Value and the calculation of the Net Asset Value, the Borrowing Base Test and the Minimum Equity Test.
​

(c)For purposes of all calculations and related reports hereunder, (A) each Tranche 
A Advance shall be a Base Advance and (B)(i) each Tranche B Advance made shall be deemed to be a Base Advance until the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Advances equals the aggregate Tranche B Financing Commitments (excluding any Bridge Commitment) and each Tranche B Advance made thereafter (until the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Advances is lower than the aggregate Tranche B Financing Commitments (excluding any Bridge Commitment)) shall be deemed to be a Bridge Advance and (ii) each partial prepayment of Tranche B Advances and/or partial cancellation of Tranche B Financing Commitments shall be deemed to relate first to Bridge Advances and/or the Bridge Commitment and thereafter to Base Advances and the Tranche B Financing Commitment in respect thereof. The information set forth in the Register with respect to the Base Advances and the Bridge Advances shall be binding absent manifest error.

(d)For all purposes hereunder (including, without limitation, Section 3.01(d) and Section 4.07(a)), (i) each Advance made shall be a Tranche A Advance or a Tranche B Advance as indicated by the Portfolio Manager in the applicable Request for Advance, subject to the availability of the Tranche A Financing Commitment and the Tranche B Financing Commitment, as applicable, and (ii) each partial prepayment of Advances and/or partial cancellation or termination in full of the Financing Commitments shall relate to Tranche A Advances and/or the Tranche A Financing Commitment and to Tranche B Advances and/or the Tranche B Financing Commitment as directed by the Portfolio Manager 
​

in writing; provided that any prepayment of Advances denominated in USD that is made using Principal Proceeds of any Portfolio Investment that was acquired with a Tranche A Advance shall be applied first to prepay Tranche A Advances denominated in USD. The information set forth in the Register with respect to the Tranche A Advances and the Tranche B Advances shall be binding absent manifest error.
​
SECTION 1.07.Currency Equivalents.
​

(a)Except as set forth in clause (b) and Section 4.06(b), for purposes of all valuations and calculations under the Loan Documents, (i) the principal amount and Market Value of all Portfolio Investments denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, (ii) proceeds denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency on deposit in any Permitted CAD Account, Permitted EUR Account or Permitted GBP Account, as applicable, and (iii) for the purposes of Net Advances and the Borrowing Base Test, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Advances denominated in a Permitted
Non-USD Currency shall be converted to USD at the Spot Rate in accordance with the definition of such term in consultation with the Administrative Agent on the applicable date of valuation or calculation, as applicable.
​

(b)Except as provided in Section 4.06(b), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Advance, together with all other Advances then outstanding or to be made at the same time as such Advances, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Financing Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Financing Commitments and (iii) the limitations on the portion of the Financing Limit and the Financing Commitment that may be utilized in a Permitted Non-USD Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Permitted Non-USD Currency of such Advances determined as of the date such Advances were made. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with an Advance, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in
U.S. Dollars, but such Advance is denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, such amount shall be the CAD Equivalent, EUR Equivalent or GBP Equivalent , as applicable, of such U.S. dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency).
​
SECTION 1.08.Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.
​
The interest rate on an Advance denominated in USD or a Permitted Non-USD Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administration, the "IBA") for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Advances denominated in USD. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.
Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 3.04 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in respect of Tranche A Advances and Tranche B Advances denominated in a Permitted Non-USD 
Currency. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.04, of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on ana Tranche A Advance or Tranche B 
​

- 19 -

​

Advance denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of "LIBO Rate" (or any other Reference Rate or definition related thereto, as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.04(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the applicable Reference Rate) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the applicable Reference Rate) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow and prepay Advances. The Company may, during the Reinvestment Period, reborrow Advances in an amount up to (x) the aggregate Financing Commitments of the Lenders on such date minus (y) the Minimum Funding Amount, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, once prepaid, Advances may not be reborrowed.

​

- 22 -

​

Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if a registered note is requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), which delivery the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register.

exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), 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 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 (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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.
