Prior to the 2024 Commencement Date, all references herein to the “Subleased Premises” shall mean and refer to the Existing Premises.  Beginning on the 2024 Commencement Date, all references herein to the Subleased Premises shall collectively mean and refer to the Existing Premises and the Snowflake Premises, which together constitute the entirety of the Master Lease Premises.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree as follows:
1.Sublease; Snowflake Sublease; Defined Terms.  Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the Term (as hereinafter defined), at the rental and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Existing Premises and, beginning on the 2024 Commencement Date, the Snowflake Premises.  Unless otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Master Lease.
									
			

2.Term.
(a)Generally.  The term of this Sublease (the “Term”) shall commence on the date that is (i) January 1, 2022 with respect to the Existing Premises (the “Existing Premises Commencement Date”) and (ii) the 2024 Commencement Date with respect to the Snowflake Premises; provided, however, that Sublandlord will not deliver possession of the Existing Premises to Subtenant and the Term shall not commence unless and until Sublandlord has procured Landlord’s consent to this Sublease in form reasonably satisfactory to Subtenant (the “Consent”).  The Term shall end on February 29, 2028, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof (the “Expiration Date”).  Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights or options to extend the Term.  Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the Consent, and Sublandlord hereby covenants and agrees to pay all costs charged by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s review of this Sublease and issuance of the Consent, including, without limitation, any Transfer Premium (as defined in Section 22.3 of the Master Lease).  If Sublandlord fails to obtain the Consent within sixty (60) days after full execution of this Sublease by Subtenant, then Subtenant may terminate this Sublease by giving Sublandlord written notice thereof prior to receipt of the Consent.
(b)Early Access.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sublandlord shall deliver possession of the Existing Premises to Subtenant in the required condition and permit Subtenant and Subtenant’s employees and agents to enter the Existing Premises commencing on December 1, 2021 or such later date as the conditions described in subparts (i)-(iii) below are satisfied (the “Early Occupancy Date”), to prepare the Existing Premises for Subtenant’s use and occupancy, provided, however, such early occupancy of the Existing Premises shall be permitted by Sublandlord only if: (i) this Sublease is fully executed by both Sublandlord and Subtenant prior to the Early Occupancy Date; (ii) Subtenant has delivered to Sublandlord the Base Rent (as defined in Section 3(a)) for the first month of the Term and evidence of insurance as required under this Sublease; and (iii) Sublandlord and Subtenant have received the Consent prior to the Early Occupancy Date.  Any period prior to the Existing Premises Commencement Date during which Subtenant is in possession of the Existing Premises shall be referred to herein as the “Pre-Possession Term.”  Subtenant agrees that Subtenant’s occupancy of the Existing Premises during the Pre-Possession Term shall be subject to all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease and the Master Lease, except, however, Subtenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent (except Subtenant shall be obligated to pay for requested services) from the Early Occupancy Date to the Existing Premises Commencement Date and any Subtenant’s obligations relating to indemnification or insurance shall not be applicable to any acts, negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or its agents or contractors during such Pre-Possession Term.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if Sublandlord fails to deliver possession of the Existing Premises as required above on or before December 15, 2021 for any reason other than the failure of the conditions described in subparts (i)-(iii) above to be satisfied, the date Subtenant is obligated to commence paying Rent shall be delayed by one (1) day for each such day of delay and (B) Subtenant shall have no liability under this Sublease with respect to the Existing Premises until such delivery occurs.
(c)Adjustments.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) above, if, as of the Existing Premises Commencement Date, Subtenant has not delivered to Sublandlord (x) Base Rent for the first month of the Term pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a) below, and (y) evidence of Subtenant’s procurement of all insurance coverage required hereunder, then Sublandlord will have no obligation to deliver possession of the Existing Premises to Subtenant, but the failure on the part of Sublandlord to so deliver possession of the Existing Premises to Subtenant in such event will not serve to delay the commencement of Subtenant’s obligations to pay Rent (defined below) hereunder.

If the Term does not begin on the first day of a calendar month or end on the last day of a month, the Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated by multiplying the 
									
		3
	

monthly Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the partial month included in the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the full calendar month.  All Base Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublandlord to Sublandlord’s address set forth in Section 18 below.
(b)Additional Rent.  In addition to the Base Rent payable by Subtenant as provided above, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the following:  (i) prior to the 2024 Commencement Date, Fifty-Five and Thirty-Three Hundredths percent (55.33%) (“Subtenant’s Proportionate Share”) of all Operating Expenses due and payable by Sublandlord to Landlord under the Master Lease, including, but not limited to, all Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, costs of repairs, and utilities; (ii) from and after the 2024 Commencement Date, Subtenant’s Proportionate Share shall equal one hundred percent (100%) and all references herein to Subtenant’s Proportionate Share shall mean and equal one hundred percent (100%); (iii) one hundred percent (100%) of the charges for any services and utilities provided solely to the Subleased Premises due under the Master Lease with respect to the Term to the extent payable to Landlord under the Master Lease and otherwise not included as Base Rent, including such service and utility charges pursuant to Sections 15 and 16 of the Master Lease; and/or (iv) any costs and expenses related or attributable to Subtenant, or the use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant or any permitted assignee or Subtenant (e.g. personal property taxes, overuse of utilities or requested overtime HVAC services).  All amounts payable by Subtenant under this Section 3(b) are referred to in this Sublease as “Additional Rent.”  The term “Rent” as used herein shall mean all Base Rent and Additional Rent.  Each amount due to pursuant to Section 3(b) above and each other amount payable by Subtenant hereunder, unless a date for payment of such amount is provided for elsewhere in this Sublease, shall be due and payable to the Sublandlord at the same time and in the same manner as Base Rent, but in no event later than the date on which any such amount is due and payable under the Master Lease.  Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant all Annual Statements immediately following receipt.  Subtenant shall have the right to cause an Independent Review of Landlord’s books and records as provided in Section 7.7 of the Master Lease provided that Subtenant has requested Sublandlord to perform such Independent Review at least ten (10) business days prior to the expiration of the period to elect an Independent Review and Sublandlord shall notify Landlord prior to the expiration of such period.  Following Subtenant’s request, Sublandlord shall timely notify Landlord in the time period set forth in Section 7.7 of the Master Lease and perform such Independent Review on Subtenant’s behalf, but at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Master Lease).  Upon completion of such Independent Review, the parties shall reconcile the Operating Expense in the same manner as set forth in Section 7.7 of the Master Lease.
(c)Utilities.  Subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of any electricity and other utilities supplied to the Subleased Premises during the Term, and Subtenant shall timely and fully pay all such utility costs when due and payable.  Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant is directly and solely responsible for the timely and full payment of such utilities during the Term as set forth in the Master Lease.
4.Use and Occupancy.
(a)Use.  The Subleased Premises shall be used and occupied only for general office use and any Permitted Use as provided under Section 4.1 of the Master Lease, and for no other use or purpose.
(b)Compliance with Master Lease.  Subtenant will occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease and will not suffer to be done, or omit to do, any act 
									
		4
	

which may result in a violation of or a default under the Master Lease, or render Sublandlord liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder.  Subtenant will indemnify, defend protect and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any actual, out-of-pocket loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature arising out of, by reason of, or resulting from, Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises or this Sublease which are Subtenant’s obligation to perform as provided herein.  Any other provision in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Additional Rent hereunder any and all sums which Sublandlord may be required to pay Landlord arising out of a request by Subtenant for, or the use by Subtenant of, additional or over-standard Building services from Landlord (for example, but not by way of limitation, charges associated with after-hours HVAC usage and over-standard electrical charges) in connection with Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises.
(c)Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s Obligations.
(i)Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the covenants, agreements and/or obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease without ownership or control of the Building, the Subleased Premises and/or common areas, including, without limitation, the services provided in Articles 15 and 16 of the Master Lease, and, insofar as any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder are required to be performed under the Master Lease by Landlord thereunder, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall be entitled to look to Landlord for such performance.  In addition, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any repairs or any other obligation of Landlord under the Master Lease which generally relate to the Building, the Subleased Premises and/or common areas, nor shall any representations or warranties made by Landlord under the Master Lease be deemed to have been made by Sublandlord.  Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services or facilities that may be appurtenant to or supplied at the Building by Landlord or otherwise, including, without limitation, heat, air conditioning, ventilation, life-safety, water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services or facilities shall give rise to any (i) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease (unless Sublandlord is entitled to and actually receives such an abatement, diminution or reduction under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises), or (ii) liability on the part of Sublandlord, except to the extent caused by Sublandlord.
(ii)Sublandlord, upon Subtenant’s written request, shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord under the Master Lease to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under the Master Lease, including, without limitation, the performance of any maintenance or service obligations that directly impact Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises or the obligations of the Landlord which Sublandlord has not assumed (collectively, “Landlord’s Obligations”); provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant for any liability, loss or damage whatsoever in the event that Landlord fails to perform Landlord’s Obligations unless such failure is the sole and direct result of a default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease.  Sublandlord shall, upon written request of Subtenant from time to time, send written notice to Landlord in accordance with the Master Lease of any material default by Landlord under the Master Lease promptly following Subtenant’s written requests therefor, including, without limitation, a notice of default, provided that Subtenant provides evidence of such default reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublandlord is unable to obtain Landlord’s required performance of Landlord’s Obligations 
									
		5
	

despite such reasonable efforts, and Landlord and failed to perform the Landlord’s Obligations under the Master Lease following all applicable notice, grace or cure periods thereunder, then and only then, upon written request by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall commence any such litigation or similar proceedings against Landlord, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement through settlement or judgment against Landlord, including, reimbursement for attorneys’ fees).  Prior to commencing any such litigation or similar proceedings against the Landlord, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord the estimate of any actual, reasonable fees related to such litigation or similar proceedings as reasonably determined by Sublandlord, such that Sublandlord shall not incur any out-of-pocket costs and expenses with respect to such proceedings and upon the completion of such litigation, whether by judgment, settlement, arbitration, or otherwise, the parties shall reconcile the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses with such pre-payment by Subtenant (subject to reimbursement through settlement or judgment against Landlord, including, reimbursement for attorneys’ fees).
(d)Subtenant Rights.  Sublandlord hereby grants to Subtenant Sublandlord’s rights under the Master Lease to receive from Landlord repairs and services (including, without limitation, the services described in Article 10 of the Master Lease) with respect to the Subleased Premises to the extent that Sublandlord is entitled to receive same under the Master Lease.  Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all repairs and services to be rendered by Landlord under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises.  In the event Sublandlord is entitled to and actually receives an abatement of Rent under the Master Lease that is the result of a disruption or failure to provide any repairs and services under the Master Lease (“Disruption”), then so long as and to the extent that Sublandlord receives an abatement of Rent under the Master Lease from Landlord, Rent shall be abated proportionately under this Sublease.  Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
5.Master Lease and Sublease Terms.
(a)Subject to Master Lease.  This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to the Master Lease.  Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant has reviewed and is familiar with all of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease.  During the Term and for all periods subsequent thereto with respect to obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this Sublease, Subtenant agrees to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublandlord and Landlord, the obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, which pertain to the Subleased Premises and/or this Sublease, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease or which are not expressly incorporated herein, in which event the terms of this Sublease document shall control over the Master Lease.
(b)Incorporation of Terms of Master Lease.  The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease or which are not expressly incorporated herein, in which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease.  Therefore, for the purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word “Landlord” is used it shall be deemed to mean Sublandlord and wherever in the Master Lease the word “Tenant” is used it shall be deemed to mean Subtenant.  Additionally, wherever in the Master Lease the word “Premises”, “Lease” or “Rent” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Subleased Premises, this Sublease or the Rent under this Sublease, respectively, references to the “Term” and “Term Commencement Date” shall mean the Term of this 
									
		6
	

Sublease and the Existing Premises Commencement Date or 2024 Commencement Date, as applicable, respectively, references in the following provisions to "Landlord" shall mean Landlord rather than Sublandlord: Sections 7, 12.1 (the penultimate sentence), 16.1, 25 and 37-40, references in Section 8.5 to “Landlord” shall mean both Landlord and Sublandlord, and references to “either party” in Section 24.1 shall mean Landlord and Subtenant.  Any non-liability, release, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Master Lease for the benefit of Landlord that is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease.  Any right of Landlord under the Master Lease (i) of access or inspection, (ii) to do work in the Master Lease Premises or in the Building, and (iii) in respect of rules and regulations, which is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease.  Notwithstanding anything in the Master Lease to the contrary, Sublandlord will provide Subtenant, at all times during the Term with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice before Sublandlord may access or inspect the Subleased Premises (except in the case of an actual or imminent emergency, in which case such prior notice will not be required).  Subtenant shall be entitled to all credits, if any, given by Landlord to Sublandlord for Sublandlord’s overpayment of any Operating Expenses or other amounts to the extent paid by Subtenant and, if rent abates under the Master Lease as to the Subleased Premises, rent shall correspondingly abate under this Sublease.
(c)Modifications.  For the purposes of incorporation herein, the terms of the Master Lease are subject to the following additional modifications:
(i)Approvals.  In all provisions of the Master Lease (under the terms thereof and without regard to modifications thereof for purposes of incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or consent of Landlord, Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of both Sublandlord and Landlord.
(ii)Deliveries.  In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring Subtenant to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide Landlord with evidence, certificates, or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be required to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide, as the case may be, the same to both Landlord and Sublandlord.
(iii)Damage; Condemnation.  Sublandlord shall have no obligation to restore or rebuild any portion of the Subleased Premises after any destruction or taking by eminent domain.  Any rights of Subtenant to abatement of Base Rent shall be conditioned upon Sublandlord’s ability to abate rent for the Subleased Premises under the terms of the Master Lease.
(iv)Insurance.  In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring Subtenant to designate Landlord as an additional or named insured on its insurance policy, Subtenant shall be required to so designate Landlord and Sublandlord on its insurance policy.  Sublandlord shall have no obligation to maintain the insurance to be maintained by Landlord under the Master Lease.  The parties expressly acknowledge that Article 9 of the Master Lease, which contains a mutual waiver of subrogation provision is, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(a) above, incorporated herein by reference and will apply between Sublandlord and Subtenant in the same manner that said Article 9 of the Master Lease applies as between Landlord and Sublandlord.  Sublandlord will reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in attempting to obtain Landlord’s agreement, in the Consent, that the waiver of subrogation on the part of Landlord pursuant to the 
									
		7
	

Master Lease shall be deemed to extend to rights it may have against either Sublandlord or Subtenant; however, Landlord’s unwillingness to extend such rights shall not be grounds for Subtenant’s refusal to execute the Consent.
(d)Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 5(b) above, neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant shall have rights or obligations under the following parts which shall not be incorporated into this Sublease: Sections and Exhibits of the Master Lease:  the redacted portions of the Basic Lease Information, the definitions TI Commencement Date, Term Commencement Date, Term, Expiration Date, Base Rent Commencement Date, Guarantor, Tenant’s Proportionate Share (except as it relates to Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses) and Landlord’s Broker from the Basic Lease Information, any remeasurement right by Sublandlord to Subtenant in Section 1, Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Sections 3.2-3.3, Article 6, the sixth sentence of Section 7.4, Section 7.7 (except as provided above), Section 8.1, Section 10.2, Section 12.2, Article 13 (other than Section 13.3), Article 21, Section 22.6, Section 22.7, Article 26 (with respect to the first and second grammatical sentences only), Article 29, the 7th and 8th sentences of Article 36, Article 38, Section 39.2, Article 40, Article 41, Article 42, Article 43, and Exhibits A, A-1, B, C, D, F, and G.
6.Assignment and Subletting.  Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or further sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises except subject to and in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, and Sublandlord (in addition to Landlord) shall have the same rights with respect to assignment and subleasing as Landlord has under the Master Lease, including without limitation, Subtenant’s right to assign this Sublease or sublet the Subleased Premises to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer without Sublandlord’s consent as set forth in Section 22.6 of the Master Lease, including, without limitation, notice and Net Worth requirements (which requirements shall apply to both assignments of this Sublease and subleases of the Subleased Premises); and, provided, however, any Transfer premium shall be due Sublandlord thirty (30) days from receipt of the Transfer Premium from such Transferee (as defined in the Master Lease).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Transfer pursuant to Section 22.5 of the Master Lease shall also be deemed a Permitted Transfer subject to the conditions of Section 22.6, except that the transferee shall remain Subtenant.  Subtenant shall pay all fees and costs payable to Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease in connection with all of Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to any proposed assignment, sublease or transfer of the Subleased Premises regardless of whether any required consent is granted, and the effectiveness of any such consent shall be conditioned upon Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s receipt of all such fees and costs.  The provisions of Article 22 of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein (excluding, however, Sections 22.6-22.7 of the Master Lease) shall be applicable to any such assignment, sublease or transfer of the Subleased Premises; provided, however, in no event shall Sublandlord’s consent be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  
7.Default.  It shall constitute a “Default” hereunder if Subtenant fails to perform any obligation hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent), or any obligation under the Master Lease which has been incorporated herein by reference, and, in each instance, Subtenant has not remedied such failure (a) in the case of any monetary Default five (5) days after delivery of written notice, and (b) in the case of any other Default, twenty (20) calendar days after Subtenant’s receipt of written notice thereof, provided, however, that if the Default is incapable of cure within ten (10) calendar days, then for so long as Sublandlord has not received notice from Landlord stating that Landlord will treat such Default as an “Event of Default” under the Master Lease, Subtenant shall not be in Default hereunder if Subtenant commences the cure within the ten (10) calendar day period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such a Default; however, if at any time Sublandlord receives notice from Landlord that the Default will be treated as a “Event of Default” under the Master 
									
		8
	

Lease, Subtenant’s cure period will immediately be deemed to expire ten (10) days before the date of expiration of Sublandlord’s cure period as set forth in Landlord’s notice of default to Sublandlord.
8.Remedies.  In the event of any Default hereunder by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall have all remedies provided to the “Landlord” in the Master Lease as if a default had occurred thereunder and all other rights and remedies otherwise available at law and in equity.  Sublandlord may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the alternative.
9.Right to Cure Defaults.  If Subtenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Sublease after expiration of applicable notice, grace or cure periods, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligations for Subtenant’s account.  All costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in performing any such act for the account of Subtenant shall be deemed Additional Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand, together with interest thereon at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum or (b) the maximum rate allowable under law from the date of the expenditure until repaid.  If Sublandlord undertakes to perform any of Subtenant’s obligations for the account of Subtenant pursuant hereto, the taking of such action shall not constitute a waiver of any of Sublandlord’s remedies.  Subtenant hereby expressly waives its rights under any statute to make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord.
10.Consents and Approvals.  In any instance when Sublandlord’s consent or approval is required under this Sublease, Sublandlord’s refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if, among other matters, such consent or approval is required under the provisions of the Master Lease incorporated herein by reference but has not been obtained from Landlord.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to or approval of a matter if such consent or approval is required under the provisions of the Master Lease and Landlord has consented to or approved of such matter.
11.Liability.
(a)Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Sublease, the liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant for any default in Sublandlord’s obligations under this Sublease shall be limited to actual, direct damages, and under no circumstances shall Subtenant or its partners, members, shareholders, directors, agents, officers, employees, contractors, sublessees, successors and/or assigns be entitled to recover from Sublandlord (or otherwise be indemnified by Sublandlord for) (i) any losses, costs, claims, causes of action, damages or other liability incurred in connection with a failure of Landlord or its partners, members, shareholders, directors, agents, officers, employees, contractors, successors and/or assigns to perform or cause to be performed Landlord’s Obligations under the Master Lease except to the extent as a result of a Sublandlord default under the Master Lease or this Sublease beyond all applicable notice, grace or cure periods thereunder or hereunder, (ii) lost revenues, lost profit or other consequential, special or punitive damages arising in connection with this Sublease for any reason (collectively, “Consequential Damages”), or (iii) any damages or other liability arising from or incurred in connection with condition of the Subleased Premises or the suitability of the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended uses.  Subtenant shall, however, have the right to seek any injunctive or other equitable remedies as may be available to Subtenant under Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Sublease, no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against Sublandlord’s or Subtenant’s respective shareholders, directors, officers, members, managers, or partners on account of any of Sublandlord’s or Subtenant’s obligations or actions under this Sublease.  In the event of any assignment or transfer of the Sublandlord’s interest under this Sublease, which assignment or transfer may occur at any time during the Term in Sublandlord’s sole 
									
		9
	

discretion, Sublandlord shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all covenants and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder accruing subsequent to the date of the transfer and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties hereto, that any transferee has assumed and shall carry out all covenants and obligations thereafter to be performed by Sublandlord hereunder.  Subtenant shall not be liable to Sublandlord (or otherwise indemnify Sublandlord) for Consequential Damages except in connection with (x) any holdover in which event such damages may include loss of rent, or (y) the violation of any of the provisions of this Sublease relating to Subtenant use of any Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 4.4.4 of the Master Lease) in violation of Applicable Laws.
(b)Sublandlord Covenants.  Except with respect to the exercise of any right expressly set forth in the Master Lease, Sublandlord covenants to Subtenant that Sublandlord shall not do any act, matter or thing that would result in or constitute a violation or breach of or material default under the Master Lease or that would cause the Master Lease, or the rights of Sublandlord as “Tenant” under the Master Lease, to be endangered, canceled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered with respect to the Subleased Premises.  Sublandlord shall not amend or modify the Master Lease in any manner which modifies Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease or causes Subtenant to incur additional obligations under this Sublease.  Sublandlord covenants and agrees to timely and fully pay Rent (as defined in the Master Lease) as and when due under the Master Lease and otherwise comply with its obligations under the Master Lease that are not the obligation of Subtenant hereunder or the obligation of Snowflake under the Snowflake Sublease.
12.Attorneys’ Fees.  If Sublandlord or Subtenant brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder (including any action in bankruptcy court), the prevailing party who recovers substantially all of the damages, equitable relief or other remedy sought in any such action on trial and appeal shall be entitled to receive from the other party its costs associated therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the other party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Sublandlord utilizes the services of an attorney for the purpose of collecting any Rent due and unpaid by Subtenant or in connection with any threatened or actual breach of this Sublease by Subtenant, Subtenant agrees to pay Sublandlord reasonable actual attorneys’ fees as determined by Sublandlord for such services, irrespective of whether any legal action may be commenced or filed by Sublandlord.  If any such work is performed by in-house counsel for Sublandlord, the value of such work shall be determined at a reasonable hourly rate for comparable outside counsel.
13.Delivery of Possession.
(a)Generally.  Sublandlord shall deliver, and Subtenant shall accept, possession of the Subleased Premises in their “AS IS” condition as the Subleased Premises exists on the Effective Date; provided, however, Sublandlord agrees to deliver possession of the Existing Premises to Subtenant on the Early Occupancy Date in broom-clean condition with all debris and furnishings (other than the Furniture) removed and otherwise in substantially the same condition as of the date hereof.  Sublandlord shall have no obligation to furnish, render or supply any work, labor, services, materials, furniture, fixtures, equipment, decorations or other items to make the Subleased Premises ready or suitable for Subtenant’s occupancy.  In entering into this Sublease, Subtenant has relied solely on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has chosen to make or has made and has not relied on any representation or warranty concerning the Subleased Premises or the Building, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Sublease.  Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has afforded Subtenant the opportunity for full and complete investigations, examinations and inspections of the Subleased Premises and the common areas of the Building.  Subtenant acknowledges that it is not authorized to make or do any alterations or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises except as permitted by the provisions of 
									
		10
	

this Sublease and the Master Lease and that, upon termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in the same condition as the Subleased Premises were at the commencement of the Term (as to the Existing Premises and on the 2024 Commencement Date as to the Snowflake Premises), reasonable wear and tear and damage caused by casualty and condemnation excepted.  Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall, at either Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s (pursuant to the Master Lease) election, remove from the Subleased Premises, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, some or all of the Subtenant Improvements (defined in Section 13(b)(i) below) constructed therein by Subtenant, and all telecommunications and data cabling installed by or for the benefit of Subtenant .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublandlord does not elect that any such Subtenant Improvements must be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease at the time Sublandlord consents to such Subtenant Improvements, Sublandlord shall be deemed to have elected that Subtenant must remove such Subtenant Improvements; provided, however, if Landlord does not require, pursuant to the Master Lease, that either Sublandlord or Subtenant remove such Subtenant Improvements from the Subleased Premises, then Subtenant shall not have to remove such Subtenant Improvements from the Subleased Premises at the end of the Term.  Sublandlord represents and warrants that, as of the date Sublandlord delivers possession of the Existing Premises to Subtenant, (a) Sublandlord has performed all maintenance, repairs and replacements required to be performed by Sublandlord under the Master Lease, if any, and, to Sublandlord’s actual knowledge, all alterations, improvements and additions constructed by or on behalf of Sublandlord in the Subleased Premises have been constructed pursuant to all Applicable Laws, and (b) Sublandlord has not received any written notice and has no actual knowledge of any violations of Applicable Laws existing in the Subleased Premises
(b)Subtenant Improvements.
(i)Generally.  If Subtenant desires to construct improvements within the Subleased Premises (“Subtenant Improvements”), all Subtenant Improvements shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Master Lease.  Sublandlord will have the right to approve the plans and specifications for any proposed Subtenant Improvements, as well as any contractors whom Subtenant proposes to retain to perform such work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Subtenant will submit all such information for Sublandlord’s review and written approval prior to commencement of any such work; Sublandlord will similarly submit such plans to Landlord for review and approval.  Promptly following the completion of any Subtenant Improvements or subsequent alterations or additions by or on behalf of Subtenant, Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord a reproducible copy of “as built” drawings of such work together with a CAD file of the “as-built” drawings in the then-current version of AutoCad.
(ii)Code-Required Work.  If the performance of any Subtenant Improvements or other work by Subtenant within the Subleased Premises “triggers” a requirement for code-related upgrades to or improvements of any portion of the Building (including any portion of the Subleased Premises), Subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of such code-required upgrade or improvements.  For the purpose of this Sublease, the mere discovery of existing violations of law shall not be deemed “triggered” for the purposes herein.
(iii)Additional Maintenance.  Subtenant hereby acknowledges that the Subleased Premises will be benefitted with a server room that contains a functioning supplemental A/C unit installed therein.  Subtenant shall, at no cost or expense to Sublandlord, maintain said A/C unit and all related equipment located in said server room in good repair and operating condition throughout the Term; provided however, Subtenant shall have no obligation 
									
		11
	

to replace such A/C unit unless the need to replace the A/C unit is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, consultants, and/or representatives.  Subtenant agrees to maintain a service contract with a licensed contractor to render the A/C unit and all related equipment in as good condition and repair as received during the Term and furnish evidence of same to Landlord and Sublandlord.
14.Surrender; Holding Over.
(a)Subtenant will surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease in accordance with the conditions required under the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, with all removal obligations relating to the Subtenant Improvements, if any, satisfied and in broom-clean condition, free of Subtenant’s personal property, furniture, fixtures or improvements with any damage caused by Subtenant’s removal of such items repaired to Sublandlord’s reasonable satisfaction and at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, and Subtenant shall clean and repair all holes in all interior walls of the Subleased Premises made by Subtenant, clean and wax all floors and carpets located in the Subleased Premises, and remove all debris arising from the Subleased Premises from the Building, but in no event shall Subtenant be required to surrender the Subleased Premises in a condition better than received, reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted.
(b)If Subtenant fails to surrender the Subleased Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, occupancy of the Subleased Premises after the termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance.  Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Sublease and Subtenant shall pay an amount (on a permonth basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Base Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover.  No holdover by Subtenant or payment by Subtenant after the expiration or early termination of this Sublease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Sublandlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Subleased Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise.  In addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to a new subtenant or to Landlord, as the case may be, or to perform improvements for a new subtenant, as a result of Subtenant’s holdover, Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for all damages to the extent in excess of the holdover rent set forth above, including, without limitation, any Consequential Damages that Sublandlord suffers from the holdover.  Subtenant expressly acknowledges that such damages may include all of the holdover rent charged by Landlord under the Master Lease as a result of Subtenant’s holdover, which Master Lease holdover rent may apply to the entire Master Lease Premises.
15.Parking.  Subject to Landlord’s consent, Subtenant shall be permitted to use parking spaces in accordance with the ratio(s) set forth in Article 37 of the Master Lease (based on the rentable square footage of the Existing Premises prior to the 2024 Commencement Date and, thereafter, based on the total rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises consisting of both the Existing Premises and the Snowflake Premises), including the exclusive use of two (2) parking stalls serviced by charging stations as of the Existing Premises Commencement Date and four (4) parking stalls serviced by charging stations as of the 2024 Commencement Date.
16.Security Deposit.
(a)Within two (2) business days of the date Sublandlord and Subtenant receive the fully executed Consent (the “LC Delivery Date”) Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord, as protection 
									
		12
	

for the full and faithful performance by Subtenant of all of its obligations under this Sublease and for all losses and damages Sublandlord may suffer as a result of a default by Subtenant under the Sublease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby letter of credit reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord (the “Letter of Credit”).  The Letter of Credit shall (i) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period from the date of this Sublease and continuing until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term (the “LC Expiration Date”), (ii) be fully assignable by Sublandlord, its successors and assigns, (iii) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (iv) be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one (1) year each thereafter during the Term through the LC Expiration Date unless the bank issuing the Letter of Credit (“Bank”) sends a notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Sublandlord by certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then-current LC Expiration Date, stating that the Bank has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit, in which case, pursuant to the remainder of this paragraph, Sublandlord shall have the right, upon receipt of a Non-Renewal Notice, to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Bank, and shall thereafter hold or apply the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Section 16.  
(b)The initial face amount of the Letter of Credit shall be One Million Four Hundred Twelve Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty Six and 44/100 Dollars ($1,412,986.44) (“Initial Letter of Credit Amount.”) as the LC Delivery Date.  On or before the 2024 Commencement Date, Subtenant covenants and agrees to increase the Initial Letter of Credit Amount to a total aggregate amount of Two Million Five Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Four and 60/00 Dollars ($2,553,474.60) (“Letter of Credit Amount”).  Prior to the 2024 Commencement Date, references in this Sublease to the Letter of Credit Amount shall refer to the Initial Letter of Credit Amount.  From and after 2024 Commencement Date, references in this Sublease to the Letter of Credit Amount shall refer to the Letter of Credit Amount, as may be reduced subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 16(g) below.  
(c)Sublandlord shall have the right to draw down an amount up to Letter of Credit Amount without notice to Subtenant if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable, consistent with applicable law:  (1) a Default by Subtenant has occurred and is continuing; or (2) Subtenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “Bankruptcy Code”); or (3) an involuntary petition has been filed against Subtenant under the Bankruptcy Code; or (4) the Bank has notified Sublandlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date and Subtenant fails to deliver to Sublandlord a replacement Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Section 16(c) at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing Letter of Credit; or (5) the long term rating of the Bank has been downgraded to BBB or lower (by Standard & Poor’s) or Baa2 or lower (by Moody’s) and Subtenant has failed to deliver a new Letter of Credit from a bank with a long term rating of A or higher (by Standard & Poor’s) or A2 or higher (by Moody’s) and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 16 within thirty (30) days following notice from Sublandlord.  The Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Subtenant disputes Sublandlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit.
(d)The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Sublandlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without prior notice to Subtenant and without first obtaining Subtenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to any permitted successor to Sublandlord’s interest in the Sublease, as a part of the assignment by Sublandlord of its rights and interests in and to the Sublease.  Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant in writing of any transfer of the Letter of Credit within ten (10) days after such transfer.  In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Sublandlord, Subtenant shall, at Sublandlord’s sole cost and expense, 
									
		13
	

execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Subtenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.
(e)If, as a result of any drawing by Sublandlord on the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 16, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Subtenant shall, within five (5) business days after written notice from Sublandlord, provide Sublandlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 16, and if Subtenant fails to comply with the foregoing, the same shall constitute an immediate event of default by Subtenant.  If Sublandlord draws on the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Section 16, Sublandlord may apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit against any rent payable by Subtenant under this Sublease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all direct losses and damages that Sublandlord has suffered as a result of any default by Subtenant under the Sublease.  Subject to Subtenant’s right under the following sentence, any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Sublandlord and need not be segregated from Sublandlord’s other assets.  Sublandlord will pay such unused proceeds to Subtenant (i) if Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord the additional letter(s) of credit described in this Section 16, and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date, if Subtenant surrenders the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord and no default by Subtenant has occurred and is then continuing; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Subtenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Subtenant by any of Subtenant’s creditors, as applicable, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Sublandlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under the Sublease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
(f)The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof or any draw thereon, by Sublandlord shall not prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease or by any applicable laws, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit.  No condition or term of this Sublease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner.  Subtenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Sublandlord and Bank, (ii) Subtenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Subtenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) to the extent permitted by law, in the event Subtenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Subtenant, shall not have any right to restrict or limit Sublandlord’s claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  At the expiration of the Term or following the assignment of this Sublease by Sublandlord, and provided Subtenant is not in default beyond all applicable notice or cure periods at such time, Sublandlord shall promptly surrender the Letter of Credit or cooperate with Subtenant to cancel the Letter of Credit.
(g)If, by December 31, 2024: (i) no Default has occurred under this Sublease (nor is any event then occurring that with notice or the passage of time would become a Default hereunder), (ii) Subtenant sends Sublandlord a written request to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount (the “Reduction Request”), which Reduction Request may not be sent to Sublandlord prior to January 1, 2025, and (iii) at the time Sublandlord receives the Reduction Request, Subtenant’s credit is, in Subtenant’s opinion as evidenced to Sublandlord’s reasonable satisfaction, as good or better than Subtenant’s credit as of the Effective Date (items (i)-(iii) are, collectively, the “LC Reduction Conditions”), then, if all of the LC Reduction Conditions are met, Subtenant may reduce the Letter of Credit Amount by the amount of Eight 
									
		14
	

Hundred Fifty-One Thousand One Hundred Fifty-Eight and 20/100 Dollars ($851,158.20), to a total amount of One Million Seven Hundred Two Thousand Three Hundred Sixteen and 40/100 Dollars ($1,702,316.40) (the “Reduced LC Amount”), as evidenced by a substitute or replacement Letter of Credit in the Reduced LC Amount (or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit reflecting the Reduced LC Amount) and that otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Article 16.  Any costs incurred in connection with any replacement or issuance of, or an amendment to, the Letter of Credit, will be paid by Subtenant.  Upon satisfaction of all the LC Reduction Conditions and Sublandlord’s receipt of the replacement Letter of Credit (or an amendment thereto) in compliance with the terms and conditions hereof, Sublandlord shall not have the right to draw upon the prior Letter of Credit and shall promptly return such prior Letter of Credit to Subtenant or Subtenant’s Bank.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred under this Sublease at any time prior to the effective date of the Letter of Credit Amount, then Subtenant shall have no right to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount as described herein.
17.Signage; Roof Rights.  To the extent transferable or otherwise permitted under the Master Lease or by Landlord, Subtenant shall have the same rights as Sublandlord under the Master Lease as they relate to signage and shall be subject to Landlord’s consent and approval to the extent required under the Master Lease (including, without limitation, the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit E to the Master Lease) and rights to use the roof of the Building, including, if permitted by Landlord, to install and use a deck thereon.
18.Notices.  Any notice by either party to the other required, permitted or provided for herein shall be valid only if in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given only if (a) delivered personally, or (b) sent by means of FedEx, UPS Next Day Air or another reputable express mail delivery service guaranteeing next day delivery, or (c) sent by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and for notices to Subtenant, also by email, addressed (i) if to Sublandlord, at the following addresses:

Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that, other than Brokers, Sublandlord has not dealt with any broker, finder, or the like in connection with this Sublease, and Sublandlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Subtenant harmless from all damages, liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any claims or demands of any broker or brokers or finders (including Brokers) for any commission alleged to be due such broker or brokers or finders in connection with its participating in the negotiation with this Sublease.

21.Interpretation.  Irrespective of the place of execution or performance, this Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.  If any provision of this Sublease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected but rather shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.  The table of contents, captions, headings and titles, if any, in this Sublease are solely for 
									
		16
	

convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation.  This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Sublease or any part thereof to be drafted.  If any words or phrases in this Sublease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Sublease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Sublease, and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated.  Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making same, not dependent on any other provision of this Sublease unless otherwise expressly provided.

23.Counterparts.  This Sublease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is deemed an original but which together constitute one and the same instrument.  This Sublease shall be fully executed when each party whose signature is required has signed and delivered to each of the parties at least one counterpart, even though no single counterpart contains the signatures of all of the parties hereto.  This Sublease may be executed in PDF format and each party has the right to rely upon a PDF counterpart of this Sublease signed by the other party to the same extent as if such party had received an original counterpart.
24.Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment.  As of the Early Occupancy Date, Sublandlord hereby grants to Subtenant a license to use the existing furniture, fixtures, equipment located in or serving the Subleased Premises which has not been removed or retained by Sublandlord (collectively, “Furniture”), and except as otherwise provided herein, for no additional consideration so long as this Sublease is in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before September 30, 2021, Sublandlord will provide a list of furniture to Subtenant which Sublandlord will be removing from the Premises and which will not be included as “Furniture” hereunder; such list shall be attached as Exhibit D hereto.  Subtenant shall not acquire any title or other ownership rights in or to the Furniture during the Term.  Upon termination of this Sublease or, if this Sublease is not terminated, then thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date, Subtenant shall:  (a) be deemed to have purchased the Furniture from Sublandlord for the amount of One and 00/100 Dollar ($1.00), effective as of the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date; (b) remove the Furniture from the Subleased Premises, including any wiring installed by Subtenant connecting the Furniture to the Subleased Premises; and (c) return the Subleased Premises to the condition required under this Sublease.

Any furniture purchased by Subtenant for use in the Subleased Premises shall be solely Subtenant’s property.  At the end of the Term, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with a bill of sale for the Furniture in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit E.  In furtherance of Article 13 of this Sublease, neither Sublandlord nor Sublandlord’s agents, employees, or contractors have made any representations, warranties, or promises with respect to the Furniture and/or any other equipment, furniture, or 
									
		17
	

improvements therein situated, if any.  Subtenant shall have the right to remove and reconfigure the Furniture during the Term.  For the sake of clarity, Subtenant shall be responsible for removing the Furniture from the Subleased Premises at the expiration or early termination of the Term.
25.Miscellaneous.
(a)To the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge as of the Effective Date, Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that, as of the Effective Date: (i) Sublandlord has delivered to Subtenant a true, correct and redacted copy of the Master Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, and that, other than the Snowflake Sublease, there are no other agreements with respect thereto that materially reduce Subtenant’s rights or materially increase Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease or materially reduce Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises; (ii) Sublandlord has neither given nor received any notice of default under the Master Lease not heretofore cured or waived; (iii) there is no current litigation pending with Landlord; (iv) Sublandlord has not received written notice of any noncompliance with Applicable Laws; and (v) Sublandlord has not received written notice of any violations issued by the City of San Mateo or any other governmental agency or authority affecting the Subleased Premises.

2. THE REVOLVING FACILITY

 

(a) The
Maximum Facility Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders agree to make available to the Borrower
an uncommitted revolving credit facility providing for loans (“Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
the lesser of (A) the Maximum Facility Amount as of the funding date of such Loan and (B) the Borrowing Base as of the funding date of
such Loan (calculated after giving effect to the deposit or investment of the proceeds on such funding date), which Loans shall be used
by the Borrower to acquire Assets. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein,
the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow Loans until the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the parties hereto acknowledge that this is an uncommitted facility and there is no express or implied commitment on the part of the Administrative
Agent or Lender to provide any Loan except that, in the case of Assets approved by means of Approval Requests, the Lenders shall have
committed to fund the related Loans (up to the amount(s) specified in the related Approval Requests) provided that the related conditions
precedent set forth in Section 7 are satisfied.

 

(b) Requests
for Asset Approval. The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, shall provide to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to
the Borrower) a notice by electronic mail in the form of Annex A (or in the form of an Excel spreadsheet containing each of
the information fields appearing on Annex A with respect to the proposed Asset) with respect to each Asset proposed to be
purchased with, if applicable, funds held in the Trust Account or the proceeds of a Loan or Principal Collections pursuant to Section
5(b) (together with any attachments required in connection therewith, an “Approval Request”), together with
copies of any Material Documents related to such Asset requested by the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives
an Approval Request by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral
Manager and the Borrower in writing (including via electronic mail) whether it has approved or rejected such Approval Request by
3:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business Day thereafter (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any
Approval Request received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. New York City time on any Business Day shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Business Day); provided that if the Administrative Agent does not notify the
Collateral Manager and the Borrower whether it has approved or rejected such Approval Request by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the
second Business Day after receipt, such Approval Request shall be deemed to be rejected. No later than 4:30 p.m. New York City time
on the same Business Day that the Collateral Manager and Borrower receive an approved Approval Request from the Administrative Agent
(or reconfirmation of an approved Approval Request in accordance with the proviso to this sentence), the Collateral Manager, on
behalf of the Borrower, shall provide by electronic mail to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower and the Custodian)
a copy of the Portfolio Asset Buy Confirmation; provided that if the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower (x)
does not enter into a commitment to purchase a Portfolio Asset on the same Business Day as the approval of the related Approval
Request is first received from the Administrative Agent and (y) still wishes to purchase such Portfolio Asset on the next Business
Day, the Collateral Manager, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such Business Day, shall request the Administrative Agent to
reconfirm to the Collateral Manager and the Borrower that the related approved Approval Request shall remain valid until 4:30 p.m.
New York City time on such Business Day; provided that with respect to any Approval Request obtained for a
primary commitment where the Borrower does not enter into a commitment to purchase the related Portfolio Asset on the same Business
Day as such approval was first received, (x) no such reconfirmation shall be required so long as the Collateral Manager provides
notice to the Administrative Agent of the allocation made to the Borrower under such primary commitment on the day such allocation
is known to either the Borrower or the Collateral Manager and (y) if the allocation made to the Borrower is less than the amount
approved in connection with the related Approval Request, no additional Approval Request or reconfirmation shall be required for the
Borrower to purchase the related Portfolio Asset in the secondary market on the same day the Borrower purchases such Portfolio Asset
in the primary distribution so long as the sum of the Principal Balance of the portion of the Portfolio Asset purchased in the
primary distribution and the Principal Balance of the portion of the Portfolio Asset purchased in the secondary market is no greater
than the total Principal Balance of such Portfolio Asset approved in the related Approval Request. The
Administrative Agent shall have the right, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, to approve, reject or rescind any Approval
Request and to request additional information reasonably available to the Borrower regarding any proposed Asset; provided,
that any rescission of approval shall not invalidate any commitment to purchase an Asset entered into by the Borrower (or the
Collateral Manager on its behalf) prior to the receipt by the Collateral Manager of such written notice of rescission (including
receipt by email), in which case, such Asset shall be deemed to remain approved until settlement of such purchase.

 

    -41-

     

    

 

(c) Borrowings.
If, prior to the Conversion Date, the Collateral Manager wishes to purchase an Asset on behalf of the Borrower for which the
Approval Request has been approved pursuant to Section 2(b) and funds in the Trust Account are insufficient to provide for
such purchase, the Collateral Manager shall request a Loan for such purpose by, no later than noon, New York City time, on the third
Business Day preceding the proposed date of such Loan, providing to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) an
irrevocable notice (which may be signed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) by electronic mail or facsimile
transmission substantially in the form of Annex B hereto (together with any attachments required in connection therewith, a
“Borrowing Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify, as soon as reasonably practical but in no
event later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the Loan, the Lenders each time
it receives a Borrowing Request. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Lenders, each Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$500,000 and shall be in an amount (not less than zero) equal to (i) the Purchase Price of the Asset, together with any purchased
accrued interest with respect thereto (as specified in the Approval Request) minus (ii) the balance (if any) in the Trust
Account. To the extent that more than one Lender is a party hereto, each Loan shall consist of loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan or portion of a Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan and may at any time cause any Loan to be
transferred to any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender. Upon satisfaction of the conditions to borrowing set
forth in this Section 2 and in Section 7, the Lenders shall advance the applicable principal amount of each Loan on
the date specified in the related Borrowing Request and the proceeds thereof shall be paid into the Trust Account or otherwise at
the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) as set forth in the Borrowing Request for application toward
the acquisition cost of the related Asset. The Lenders shall not fund any Loans to the Borrower if a Default has occurred and is
continuing.

 

Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, may deliver a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent
on the first or second Business Day prior to the proposed date of the funding of a Loan (an “Expedited Borrowing Request”).
Upon receipt of an Expedited Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Loan, and the Lenders
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Loan on the proposed funding date set forth in the Expedited Borrowing Request
subject to the terms and conditions for borrowings otherwise set forth in this Agreement, except that the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders
any losses, costs or expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with making such Loan on such proposed funding date on the date any
interest is due under such Loan; provided, that if the Lenders are unable to make a Loan pursuant to an Expedited Borrowing Request
due to the occurrence of a force majeure, or any other unexpected and unforeseen event, including, without limitation, market disruptions,
the Lenders shall make such Loan subject to the terms and conditions for Loans otherwise set forth in this Agreement as soon as they are
reasonably able to do so.

 

(d) Interest
and Unused Fee. Loans (other than as set forth in the next two succeeding provisos) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to LIBORthe Benchmark plus the
Applicable Margin until repaid; provided that any Loan with respect to which LIBORBenchmark cannot
be determined, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, further that
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to LIBORthe Benchmark or
the Reference Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin plus 2.00%. Interest shall be calculated daily on the
basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan through but excluding the date of
payment.

 

The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and, if
applicable, any related Breakage Costs, on the Maturity Date; provided that the Borrower shall partially or fully pay
accrued and unpaid interest for the related Interest Accrual Period on each Payment Date (if
any) to the extent of Interest Collections and Principal Collections available for such payment pursuant to this Agreement (and any
unpaid interest shall remain outstanding). Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be payable on demand.

 

    -42-

     

    

 

 

In
no case shall interest payable hereunder exceed the amount that any Lender may charge or collect under Applicable Law.

 

The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all accrued and unpaid Unused Fee for the related Interest
Accrual Period on each Payment Date.

 

(e) Optional
Reductions. At any time after the Closing Date but prior to the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or
reduce the unused amount of the Maximum Facility Amount at any time or from time to time concurrently with the payment of any applicable
fees payable pursuant to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter in connection therewith upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior
notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date
of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the
Maximum Facility Amount shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining
unused portion thereof and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Maximum Facility Amount below the sum of (x) aggregate principal amount
of Loans outstanding at such time and (y) the aggregate amount of unfunded advances under Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and
Revolving Collateral Obligations that the Borrower has committed to fund but not borrowed Loans to fund at such time. Such notice of termination
or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Individual
Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of each Lender.

 

The
Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Maximum
Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Individual
Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.

 

(f) Evidence
of Loans. The Loans and all payments thereon shall be evidenced by the Administrative Agent’s loan accounts and records; provided
that upon the request of any Lender, the Loans may be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Annex C hereto in addition
to such loan accounts and records. Such loan accounts, records and promissory note shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount
of the Loans and payments thereon. Any failure to record any Loan or payment thereon or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

 

(g) Repayment
of Principal on the Maturity Date. The entire Outstanding Principal Amount of Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date, and on the Maturity Date the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, without
notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or
dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

 

(h)
Prepayments.

 

(i) Optional
Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay one or more outstanding
Loans in whole, or in part, on any Business Day, together with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans through (but excluding)
the date of such prepayment and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs. Such prepayment may be made with the proceeds of a sale or
liquidation of a Portfolio Asset in accordance with the Transaction Documents or out of funds available in the Principal Collection Account
or Trust Account on the date of such prepayment.

 

(ii) Mandatory
Prepayments. In connection with any sale or disposition of a Portfolio Asset pursuant to Section 5, unless the Administrative
Agent has agreed in writing that such proceeds may be used in connection with a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 5(b), the Borrower
shall, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, use such sale or disposition proceeds to prepay one or
more outstanding Loans in whole, or in part, on any Business Day, together with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans through
(but excluding) the date of such prepayment and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs.

Taxes.

 

(i) Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 2(j), the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

 

(ii) 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 the applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from
any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then such 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(j)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been made.

 

    -44-

     

    

 

 

(iii) 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.

 

(iv) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after 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(j))
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 the Lender shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(v) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (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 13(c)(iii) 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 clause (v).

 

(vi) Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2(j), 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.

(vii) Status
of Lenders. (A) 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 and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or
not such 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(j)(vii)(B)(1), (B)(2) and (B)(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.

 

(B)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

(1) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower 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 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 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 or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:

 

a. 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 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 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;

 

    -46-

     

    

 

b.
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

c. 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 Annex G-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 871(h)(3)(B) of
the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

 

d. 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 Annex G-2 or Annex
G-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 Annex G-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(3) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(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 and
the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

 

    -47-

     

    

 

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 and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(viii) 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(j) (including by the payment
of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2(j)), 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(j) 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 clause (viii) (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 clause (viii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to
an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (viii) 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.

 

(ix) Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2(j) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent
or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under
any Transaction Document.

make (or cause to be made) available (including via appropriate electronic means acceptable to each recipient) to each Lender and the
Administrative Agent a daily report (each, a “Daily Report”), which may be a Microsoft Excel file, prepared as of the
close of business of the immediately preceding Business Day. All information in such Daily Report with respect to the Portfolio Assets

as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

 

(B) Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of
any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a
deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations

judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default

funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7(b) were
satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis

rata in accordance with their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts
paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to
and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or
publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such
time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either
(A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not,

SECTION 3.   ACCOUNTS

 

(a) On
or before the date of the first Loan, the Borrower shall establish with the Custodian as Securities Intermediary (i) a securities account
(the “Collateral Account”) to which all Portfolio Assets will be credited, (ii) a securities account, which shall be
a subaccount of the Collection Account, into which all interest proceeds from the Portfolio Assets and other Interest Collections will
be deposited (the “Interest Collection Account”), (iii) a securities account, which shall be a subaccount of the Collection
Account, into which all principal proceeds received in connection with the Portfolio Assets (including any repayments or prepayments of
principal and amounts received in connection with any sale, termination or other dispositions thereof up to the outstanding principal
amount thereof) and other principal proceeds will be deposited (the “Principal Collection Account” and, together with
the Interest Collection Account, the “Collection Account”), (iv) a securities account (the “Trust Account”)
into which all cash received by the Borrower from the equity contributions made by the Equityholder, all Loan proceeds and any amounts
transferred from the Principal Collection Account in accordance with the Principal Priority of Payments will be deposited and (v) a securities
account (the “OC Ratio Posting Account”) into which funds related to OC Ratio Posting Payments shall be deposited pursuant
to Section 6. The Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with the Account Control Agreement.

 

(b) The
only permitted withdrawal from or application of assets credited to the Collateral Account shall be to deliver such assets in connection
with a sale, termination, repayment or other disposition of such asset against payment or exchange. Any cash payment received in connection

as provided herein, and any non-cash asset received in exchange shall be credited to the Collateral Account promptly.

 

(c) The
Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall instruct each obligor under the Portfolio Assets (or, with respect
to any Agented Asset, the paying agent) to deliver all proceeds in respect of the Borrower Collateral to the Collection Account. The
Borrower shall (or shall cause the Collateral Manager to), on a daily basis (on each Business Day), identify collections received in
the Collection Account on the second prior Business Day in connection with the Portfolio Assets as either Principal Collections or Interest
Collections and notify the Custodian of such determination. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall
cause all Principal Collections received on behalf of the Portfolio Assets in the Collection Account to be promptly (but in any event
no later than one Business Day following receipt thereof) transferred by the Custodian to the Principal Collection Account. The Borrower
(or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall cause all Interest Collections received on behalf of the Portfolio Assets
in the Collection Account to be promptly (but in any event no later than one Business Day following receipt thereof) transferred
by the Custodian to the Interest Collection Account. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in the Collection
Account, Principal Collection Account or Interest Collection Account shall be to make payments expressly provided for in this Agreement
or, to transfer
funds to the Trust Account in connection with a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 5(b) or to
make a Permitted Distribution on any Business Day pursuant to the requirements set forth in the definition thereof.

(f) With
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Collateral Manager may direct
the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the Collection Accounts and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts
credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Collateral Manager has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative
Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Borrower and each Lender a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

 

SECTION 4. SECURITY
INTEREST

 

(a) Grant.
As collateral security for the prompt payment in full and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by liquidation
or otherwise) of the Borrower’s obligations to the Secured Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Secured Obligations”),
the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Secured Parties a first priority continuing security interest in, lien on and right of set-off against, all of the Borrower’s
right, title and interest in, to and under each Portfolio Asset, all Underlying Instruments and Underlying Assets, the Borrower’s
rights under each Transaction Document, each Account and all assets credited to and funds on deposit in each Account and all proceeds
of the foregoing, in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (collectively,
the “Borrower Collateral” or “Collateral”).

 

(b)
Perfection, Etc. The Borrower shall:

 

(i) deliver
to the Custodian any and all securities and instruments evidencing or otherwise relating to Borrower Collateral, endorsed and/or
accompanied by such instruments of assignment and transfer in such form and substance as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties may reasonably request, including by taking all steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and necessary
to ensure that all Portfolio Assets that are securities are credited to the Collateral Account by the Custodian and held in
accordance with the Account Control Agreement and all other Portfolio Assets held by the Custodian are otherwise marked to reflect
the pledge and security interest provided for in this Agreement; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon request of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager,
make appropriate arrangements for making any securities or instrument pledged by the Borrower available to the Borrower or the
Collateral Manager for purposes of presentation, collection or renewal (any such arrangement to be effected, to the extent deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent, against trust receipt or like document);

 

    -62-

     

    

 

(ii) give,
execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers, in each case, requested
by the Administrative Agent, that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) to create, preserve,
perfect or validate the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to
exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest;

 

(iii) permit
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or its agents or representatives to visit the offices of the Borrower during normal office hours
and upon reasonable notice examine and make copies of all documents, books, records and other information concerning the Borrower Collateral
and promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender any information which the Administrative Agent
or any Lender may reasonably request concerning the Borrower Collateral (such visitation and examinations not to occur more frequently
than one (1) time each three (3) months in the absence of a Default with respect to the Borrower Collateral);
and

 

(iv) preserve
and protect the Secured Parties’ first priority security interest in Borrower Collateral, and take or cause any action reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent and necessary to preserve, defend, protect or perfect the Secured Parties’ first priority
security interest.

 

		(c)	Remedies.

 

(i) During
the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders and by notice to the Borrower,
declare the Maturity Date to have occurred and all outstanding Termination Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full (without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower); provided that, if an
event involving the Borrower described in clause (e) of the definition of “Event of Default” occurs, all Termination Obligations
shall be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly, waived
by the Borrower) and the Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of any such event.

 

    -63-

     

    

 

(ii) Following
the declaration of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)(A), the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
may exercise, in addition to all rights and remedies granted in this Agreement, and in any other Transaction Document, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled at law or in equity,
which rights shall be cumulative.

 

(iii) 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 or otherwise required hereby) to or upon the
Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements
and notices, or other defenses, are hereby waived to the extent permitted under Applicable Law except as otherwise provided herein), may
in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Borrower Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may
forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Borrower 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, in the over the counter market, at
any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable
and at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any
credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at
any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such
public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any
part of the Borrower Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of the Borrower, which right or equity of redemption
is hereby waived or released. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder waive
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by
the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative
Agent arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or its affiliates, or any agents or employees
of the foregoing.

 

(iv) The
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion during the continuance of an Event of Default, send notification forms giving the Obligors
and/or agents on Portfolio Assets notice of the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Borrower Collateral on behalf of the Secured
Parties and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent.

 

(v) The
rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and
shall be in addition to all rights, powers, privileges and remedies available to Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties at law or in equity or under any other Transaction Document. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and
may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
hereunder.

 

    -64-

     

    

 

(vi) All
rights of action and of asserting claims under the Transaction Documents, may be enforced by the Administrative Agent without the possession
of any notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted
by the Administrative Agent shall be brought in its own name as Administrative Agent and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment
of the reasonable expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Administrative Agent, each predecessor Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

 

(vii) In
any proceedings brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the liens under the Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall
be held to represent all of the Secured Parties, and it shall not be necessary to make any Secured Party a party to any such proceedings.

 

		(d)	Sales.

 

(i) Each
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all of the Borrower Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager,
and the Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such
private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. The
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Borrower Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even
if the Borrower would agree to do so.

 

(ii) Each
of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager further shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other
acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Borrower Collateral pursuant to this Section
4(d) valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of Applicable Law.

 

(iii) Each
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in
this Section 4(d)  will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section 4(d) shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower, the Collateral
Manager, and the Equityholder, and each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby waives and agrees not
to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default
has occurred under the Agreement or any defense relating to the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence.

 

    -65-

     

    

 

(iv) Section
9-610 of the UCC states that the Secured Parties are able to purchase the Borrower Collateral only if the Borrower Collateral is sold
at a public sale. The Administrative Agent has advised the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder that SEC staff personnel
have issued various No Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities
to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act. The UCC permits the Borrower to agree on the standards for determining whether the Secured Party has complied with its obligations
under Article 9 of the UCC. Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby specifically
agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to any Secured Party’s purchase of the Borrower Collateral (through bidding on
the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No Action Letters
promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC, (2) shall be considered
commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party has not registered or sought to register the Borrower Collateral under
the Securities Act, even if the Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration process, and (3) shall be considered to be commercially
reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party purchases the Borrower Collateral at such a sale.

 

(v) Each
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any general duty
or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Borrower Collateral sold by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, subject to Applicable Law, among
other things, accept the first bid received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers in accordance
with the UCC. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Borrower
Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto
that some or all of the Borrower Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The
Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby waive any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which any of the Borrower Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that
might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s obligations under the
Agreement, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Borrower Collateral to more
than one bidder; provided that Administrative Agent has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such
private sale. Without in any way limiting the Administrative Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which
is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby agrees that any
foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted
in accordance with the following provisions:

 

    -66-

     

    

 

(1) the
Administrative Agent conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;

 

(2) such
foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York; and

 

(3) not
more than thirty days before, and not less than three Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale.

 

(vi) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, (A) the Administrative Agent shall give not less than three Business Days prior
written notice to the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder of any proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition of any
Borrower Collateral (including the amount of the Termination Obligations); (B) the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or their
respective designee may, but shall not be required to, offer to buy any item of Borrower Collateral following receipt of the notice
described in clause (A); provided that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reject such offer in its sole
discretion and, notwithstanding the delivery of such notice or the receipt of such offer, shall remain entitled to engage other
potential buyers and continue with any proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition described in such notice or to refrain
from selling any such item of Borrower Collateral, in each case, in its sole discretion; (C) within three (3) Business Days of
receipt of the written notice provided for in clause (A) above, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or their respective
designee may provide a bid on the Borrower Collateral equal to or greater than the Termination Obligations then due and if the
Administrative Agent determines in its discretion based on evidence provided by the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder (or their
designee) that (x) the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder (or their designee), as applicable, has cash and cash equivalents (or
financing) sufficient to purchase the Borrower Collateral on any date set by the Administrative Agent for such purchase or (y) the
Collateral Manager (or its designee), as applicable, has cash and cash equivalents (or financing) equal to at least 102.5% of the
Termination Obligations plus any outstanding expenses payable by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall accept such amounts or
bid and upon receipt of an amount equal to the Termination Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and (D) to the extent any
Borrower Collateral is to be disposed of in a public sale, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder
(or any Affiliate or designee thereof) shall be entitled, subject to and in accordance with any rules of such public sale
established by the Administrative Agent, including any standard and customary eligibility requirements for bidders in such public
sale, to bid on each such item of Borrower Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.

 

    -67-

     

    

 

(e) No
Other Liens. Except as expressly permitted hereunder and under the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower will not sell, assign,
pledge, grant any security interest in, exchange, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or grant any option with respect to such
Borrower Collateral, or agree to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

 

(f) Power
of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take any action and execute any instruments with respect to the Borrower Collateral that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in connection with the following, each subject to the terms of this Agreement: (i)
the Borrower’s grant of a security interest in the Borrower Collateral to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
and any rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may exercise in respect thereof upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) the filing of one or more financing or continuation statements with respect to
the Borrower Collateral, which may describe the collateral as “all assets of the Debtor now owned or hereafter acquired” or
with words of similar import, (iii) the sale, termination or other disposition of any Portfolio Asset at the direction of the Administrative
Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default or on or after the Maturity Date or (iv) accomplishing any other purposes of this
Agreement and the exercise of any remedies hereunder by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees that the powers granted by this
paragraph are coupled with an interest, discretionary in nature and exercisable at the sole option of the Administrative Agent. This power
of attorney shall be binding upon, and enforceable against, all beneficiaries, successors, assigns, transferees and legal representatives
of the Borrower.

 

(g) Termination
of Security Interest. The security interest granted to secure the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be terminated and released
and all rights in the Borrower Collateral will revert to the Borrower on the date all of the Termination Obligations have been paid in
full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In connection with such termination and release, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall execute and deliver such documents, instruments and certificates as the Borrower shall reasonably require at the Borrower’s
expense.

 

(h) Right
of Set-Off. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
are authorized to set-off any and all amounts due to it hereunder against any amounts payable to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders or their Affiliates, whether or not such amounts have matured.

 

    -68-

     

    

 

SECTION 5. DISPOSITIONS
OF PORTFOLIO ASSETS, PURCHASES OF ADDITIONAL ASSETS

 

(a) Sale
or Disposition of Portfolio Assets. The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower may arrange for the sale or disposition of any
Portfolio Asset, subject to the following conditions:

 

(i) after
giving effect to such sale or disposition:

 

(A) each
Collateral Quality Test is either (x) satisfied or (y) if not in compliance prior to giving effect to such sale or disposition, maintained
or improved; and

 

(B) either
(x) no OC Ratio Breach has occurred and is continuing or (y) if an OC Ratio Breach exists prior
to giving effect to such sale or disposition, the OC Ratio is maintained or improved;

 

(ii) both
prior to and immediately after giving effect to such sale or disposition, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and

 

(iii) to
the extent required under the circumstances provided below, the Administrative Agent has given its prior written consent if:

 

(A) such
sale or disposition is to the Equityholder, the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Borrower, the Equityholder or the Collateral
Manager unless such Asset is required to be repurchased by the “Seller” under the Sale Agreement;

 

(B) such
sale or disposition is for a price lower than the Adjusted Collateral Value of such Asset by 3% or more; provided that sales
for at least the original purchase price of such Asset plus any related original issue discount shall not require the consent of the Administrative
Agent; or

 

(C) after
giving effect to such sale or disposition, the aggregate Principal Balance of all Assets which are sold by the Borrower during any 12-month
rolling period would exceed 30% of the Maximum Facility Amount during the trailing 12-month period as of the date of such sale or disposition
(or such lesser number of months as shall have elapsed as of such date); provided that Defaulted Obligations sold by the
Borrower with an aggregate Principal Balance of up to 10% of the Maximum Facility Amount during such period shall not count towards such
30% threshold.

 

(b) Purchase
of Additional Assets. At any time prior to the Conversion Date (but not on or after the Conversion Date), the Collateral Manager
on behalf of the Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, instruct the Custodian to withdraw
Principal Collections from the Principal Collection Account and deposit such Principal Collections into the Trust Account for the
purpose of acquiring additional Assets (each such reinvestment of Principal Collections, a “Reinvestment”),
subject in each case to the following conditions:

 

    -69-

     

    

 

(i) the
Collateral Manager shall have delivered and the Administrative Agent shall have approved an Approval Request with respect to the Assets
acquired pursuant to the Reinvestment pursuant to the terms of Section 2(b);

 

(ii) such
Asset is not acquired from the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder, or an Affiliate of the Borrower, the Equityholder or the Collateral
Manager unless it is acquired from the “Seller” under and in accordance with the Sale Agreement;

 

(iii) each
Asset specified in the related Approval Request will satisfy the Eligibility Requirements as of its Acquisition Date; and

 

(iv) the
conditions set forth in Sections 7(b)(v) through (x) shall be satisfied as of the date of such Reinvestment.

 

SECTION 6. OC
RATIO POSTING PAYMENTS

 

(a) If
an OC Ratio Breach has occurred, within 10 Business Days of the occurrence of such OC Ratio Breach, the Equityholder may, but shall not
be required to, cure such condition by making a cash payment into the OC Ratio Posting Account in an amount (which shall be in increments
of $500,000) that would cause such OC Ratio Breach to be cured after giving effect to such payment into the OC Ratio Posting Account (any
such payment, an “OC Ratio Posting Payment”).

 

(b) On
any Business Day after the Equityholder has made an OC Ratio Posting Payment into the OC Ratio Posting Account in accordance with
clause (a) above and amounts remain on deposit in the OC Ratio Posting Account, the Equityholder may request that the Borrower
calculate the maximum amount of cash necessary to be on deposit in the OC Ratio Posting Account for there not to be an OC Ratio
Breach. If the Borrower determines for a period of not less than 10 consecutive Business Days (or such shorter period as the
Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) that the amount of cash on deposit in the OC Ratio Posting Account exceeds
the sum of (x) the amount necessary to avoid an OC Ratio Breach and (y) $500,000 (such excess, the “OC Ratio Posting
Excess”), then the Equityholder may request in writing that the Borrower direct the Custodian to return all or a portion
of the OC Ratio Posting Excess. The Borrower shall direct the Custodian to return such amount within two Business Days of receiving
such request.

 

(c) Upon
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Custodian to transfer any funds held
in the OC Ratio Posting Account to the Trust Account, to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

    -70-

     

    

 

(d) In
addition to the initial equity contribution made by the Equityholder on or about the date of this Agreement, the Borrower may accept on
an Additional Funding Date an additional equity contribution by the Equityholder in an amount not less than U.S.$3,000,000. Notwithstanding
any additional equity contribution by the Equityholder pursuant to this Section 6(d), each Lender shall only originate Loans up
to its respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount. The proceeds of any additional equity contribution by the Equityholder pursuant
to this Section 6(d) shall be deposited in the Trust Account.

 

SECTION 7. CONDITIONS
PRECEDENT TO BORROWING

 

(a) Conditions
to Initial Borrowing. No Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan hereunder, nor shall any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Securities
Intermediary be obligated to take, fulfill or perform any other action hereunder, until the following conditions have been satisfied,
in the sole discretion of, or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent:

 

(i) the
Administrative Agent shall have received satisfactory evidence that the Equityholder has contributed initial equity (and deposited the
cash proceeds of such contribution into the Trust Account) and/or Portfolio Assets to the Borrower such that the cash proceeds of such
initial equity contribution and/or aggregate Principal Balance of Portfolio Assets contributed total $20,000,000 no later than the earlier

All written information (other than projections, other forward-looking information, information of a general economic or general
industry nature and pro forma financial information) heretofore (as of each date when this representation and warranty is made)
furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for purposes of, or in connection with,
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, is true and accurate in all material respects (to the best knowledge of the
Borrower, in the case of information obtained by the Borrower from Obligors or other unaffiliated third parties), and, taken as a
whole, contained as of the date of delivery thereof no untrue statement of a material fact (to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
in the case of information obtained by the Borrower from Obligors or other unaffiliated third parties) and did not omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which such information was furnished (to the best knowledge of the Borrower, in the case of information obtained by the
Borrower from Obligors or other unaffiliated third parties) as of the date such information was furnished. The projections and pro
forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed
by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties that such projections and pro forma financial information as it relates to future
events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and pro forma
financial information may differ from the projected and pro forma results set forth therein by a material amount.

 

    -75-

     

    

 

(ix) Payment
in Full. In the case of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, as of the applicable Acquisition Date, it had no knowledge of any
fact which should lead it to expect that any Asset will not be repaid in full or that any asset was originated with any fraud or material
misrepresentation.

 

(x) Procedures.
In the case of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, in selecting and disposing of the Assets, no selection procedures were employed
which are intended to be adverse to the interests of any Secured Party.

 

(b) The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party that:

 

(i) Financial
Condition. As of the date of this Agreement, it (A) has not incurred any material liability or contingent obligation except under
the Transaction Documents and as may be satisfied or terminated as of the date hereof or that otherwise constitutes Permitted Debt and
(B) has no Subsidiaries. The Borrower has issued no shares or other equity interests other than its limited liability company interests.
All payments that the Borrower may make in respect of debt other than Loans hereunder are expressly subordinated to the Loans hereunder.

 

(ii) Security.
It is the sole owner of and has full power, authority and legal right to pledge and transfer all assets pledged by it hereunder free and
clear of, and such pledge and transfer will not create, any lien thereon (other than the lien created by this Agreement and excluding

statement under the UCC with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect thereto naming the Borrower as debtor and the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as secured party, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties will have a first priority perfected security interest in such assets. The Borrower acquired ownership of such assets for value
in good faith without notice of any adverse claim and has not assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered any interest in such assets other
than hereunder and excluding Permitted Liens.

 

(iii) Name;

(iv) No
Plan Assets. The assets of the Borrower do not and will not constitute the assets of (A) an employee benefit plan as defined in

person or entity deemed to hold the assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan described in (A), (B) or (C) hereof.

 

    -76-

     

    

 

(v) Volcker
Rule. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents do not result in any Lender or the Administrative
Agent holding an “ownership interest” in a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule.

 

(vi) Separate
Existence. It is operated as an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of any of its Affiliates or any Affiliates
of the Equityholder, and it acknowledges that each Secured Party is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance
upon its identity as a separate legal entity. Since its formation, it has been (and will be) operated in such a manner as to comply with
the SPV Criteria.

 

(vii) Eligibility

to Section 2(c) is an accurate and complete listing of all Assets included in the Collateral as of the related funding date and
the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Assets and the amounts owing thereunder is true, correct and complete
as of the related funding date and (ii) with respect to each Asset included in the Borrowing Base, such Asset meets the Eligibility Requirements
at such time.

 

(viii) 1940

Act Compliance; Regulations T, U and X. None of the transactions contemplated herein or the other Transaction Documents will violate
or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act, or any regulations issued pursuant thereto.

 

(x) Indebtedness.

(xi) Taxes.
It (i) is and has always been treated as a disregarded entity of the Equityholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) has timely
filed or caused to be filed all U.S. federal and other material Tax returns and reports required to be filed by it and (iii) has timely
paid or caused to be paid all U.S. federal and other material Taxes required to be paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which it has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

 

(c) The
Equityholder represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

 

(i) Sole
purpose. Sole purpose. It is not an entity that has been established or operates for the sole purpose of securitising exposures.

 

    -77-

     

    

 

(ii) Credit
Criteria. As an entity established in a country outside the European Union, it reasonably believes, in light of the information available
to it, that it has granted all credits giving rise to the Portfolio Assets on the basis of sound and well-defined criteria and clearly
established processes for approving, amending, renewing and financing those credits and has effective systems in place to apply those
criteria and processes to ensure that credit-granting is based on a thorough assessment of the obligors’ creditworthiness.

 

(iii) 1940
Act. It (i) is not required to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act and (ii) has elected to be regulated
as a “business development company” for purposes of the 1940 Act.

Collection Account or the Interest Collection Account, respectively, prior to the end of the related Interest Accrual Period. It shall

transactions similar to those contemplated by the Transaction Documents and such withholding or delay shall be deemed reasonable for
all purposes hereunder; provided, further, that the Borrower agrees not to effect or permit any change

standard within the meaning of Section 302(a) of ERISA or Section 412(a) of the Code with respect to any Pension Plan other than a
Multiemployer Plan, (iii) fail to make or permit any ERISA Affiliate to fail to make, any payments to a Multiemployer Plan that the
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate may be required to make under the agreement relating to such Multiemployer Plan or any law
pertaining thereto, (iv) terminate any Pension Plan so as to result in any liability or (v) permit to exist any occurrence of any
“reportable event”, as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA or the regulations issued thereunder, with respect to a Pension
Plan, in each case that would result in material liability to the Borrower.

 

(d) Anti-Bribery, Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws;
Sanctions. Each of the Borrower, the Equityholder and the Collateral Manager shall:

 

		(i)	maintain and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that its Affiliates maintain policies and procedures designed to prevent violation of
any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws, regulations or rules in any applicable jurisdiction; and

 

    -83-

     

    

 

		(ii)	not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any
Loan, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, sister company, joint venture partner or any other
Person (A) to fund any activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding,
is, a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, as applicable, or (B) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions
by any Person (in the case of the Equityholder, including any Person participating in the Loan hereunder, whether as underwriter, advisor,
investor, lender, hedge provider, facility or security agent or otherwise).

 

(e) Risk
Retention. The Equityholder hereby covenants, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and, in respect of paragraphs
(iv) and (v) below only, the Collateral Manager that, for so long as any Loan remains outstanding:

 

(i) it
will retain, as originator, on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest in the form specified in paragraph 3(d) of Article 6
of the Securitisation Regulation, being retention of the first loss tranche and, if necessary, other tranches having the same or a more
severe risk profile than those transferred or sold to investors and not maturing any earlier than those transferred or sold to investors,
through maintaining funding to the Borrower under the LLC Agreement, in an amount equal to not less than 5% of the Retention Basis Amount
(such net economic interest being the "Retention");

 

(ii) neither
it nor any of its Affiliates will sell, hedge, enter into a short position or otherwise mitigate its credit risk under or associated with
the Retention where to do so would cause the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents to cease to be compliant with the EU
Risk Retention Requirements;

 

(iii) it
will take such further action, provide such information as in its possession (provided that the provision of such information would not
contravene any applicable contract, law or regulation or duties of confidentiality binding on the Equityholder) and enter into such other
agreements, in each case, as may reasonably be required by the Borrower, a Lender or the Administrative Agent to satisfy the EU Risk Retention
Requirements;

 

(iv) it
will confirm to each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager and each Lender, its continued compliance with
the covenants set out at paragraphs (i) and (ii) above on a monthly basis;

 

(v) it
will promptly notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager and each Lender in writing if for any reason it fails
to comply with either of the covenants set out in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above in any way; and

 

    -84-

     

    

 

(vi) it
will notify each of its Affiliates of the contents of paragraph (ii) above and shall use reasonable endeavors to procure that each of
its Affiliates complies with the terms of paragraph (ii) as if it were a party thereto.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Equityholder nor the Borrower makes any representation as to compliance of the
transaction or any of the parties hereto with respect to the Securitisation Regulation. Any Person accepting the benefits of this Section
9(e) and/or Section 9(f) below (including any related definitions or provisions), shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms
set forth in this paragraph and each Lender hereby represents that is not relying on any of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the
Equityholder or any of their respective Affiliates, for any financial, tax, legal, accounting, or regulatory advise in connection with
the matters set forth in this Section 9(e) and/or Section 9(f) below.

 

(f)
EU Transparency Requirements. (i) Each of the Borrower and the Equityholder agrees to make available (or will cause the Collateral
Manager to make available), promptly upon written request by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender from time to time, the
documents, reports and information necessary to enable compliance by any Lender with Article 5 of the Securitisation Regulation; provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Equityholder shall be obligated to do so only if such documents, reports
or information is: (1) not subject to a duty of confidentiality; and (2)(a) in the Borrower’s or the Equityholder's possession,
or (b) not in the Borrower's or the Equityholder's possession but the Equityholder or Borrower can obtain such documents, reports or
information using commercially reasonably efforts without material expense (provided further that, if obtaining such documents, reports
or information would involve material expense but the requesting Lender agrees to pay it, then the Borrower shall obtain the same).

 

(g)
Reports by Independent Accountants. [(i) The Collateral Manager will cause a firm of
nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Collateral Manager) consented to by the
Administrative Agent (the "Independent Accountants") to furnish to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral
Agent (i) on or prior to October 28, 2022 (the "Initial AUP Report Date"), a report relating to one Daily Report (as selected
by the Administrative Agent), each delivered prior to the Initial AUP Report Date, and (ii) on or prior to each one-year anniversary
of the Initial AUP Report Date (each such anniversary, an "AUP Report Date"), a report relating to one Daily Report (as selected
by the Administrative Agent), delivered during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such AUP Report Date, in each case, to the
effect that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (a copy of which procedures are attached hereto as Annex H,
it being understood that the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent will provide an updated Annex H reflecting any further amendments
to such Annex H prior to the issuance of the first such agreed-upon procedures report, a copy of which shall replace the then existing
Annex H) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral under any Transaction Document, compare the information contained
in selected Daily Reports (and all calculations therein) delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and records
and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that such servicing was not conducted in compliance
with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as such accountants shall believe to be immaterial
and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

 

    -85-

     

    

 

(ii)
In the event the Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to clause (i) above require the Collateral Agent to agree to the procedures
performed by such Independent Accountants with respect to any of the reports, statements or certificates of such Independent Accountants,
or sign any agreement in connection therewith, Borrower hereby directs the Collateral Agent to agree to the terms and conditions requested
by such Independent Accountants as a condition to receiving documentation required by this Agreement; it being understood and agreed
that the Collateral Agent shall deliver such agreement in conclusive reliance on the foregoing direction and shall make no inquiry or
investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or responsibility in respect of, the terms of the engagement of such Independent Accountants
by the Borrower or the sufficiency, validity or correctness of the agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement. The Borrower
hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent, without liability on its part, to execute and deliver any such agreement with such
Independent Accountants in the form presented to it by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), which agreement,
to the extent so directed by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), may include, amongst other things, (i)
an acknowledgement that the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) has agreed that the procedures by such Independent
Accountants are sufficient for the relevant purposes, (ii) releases by the Collateral Agent of any claims, liabilities and expenses arising
out of or relating to such Independent Accountant's engagement, agreed-upon procedures or any report, statement or certificate issued
by such Independent Accountants under any such engagement and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of such Independent
Accountants and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of any such reports, statements, certificates or other information
or documents provided to it by such Independent Accountants.]

 

SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT

 

The
Lenders hereby irrevocably appoint BNP Paribas as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and
authorize the Administrative Agent to take such action, or exercise such powers and perform such duties, as are expressly delegated
to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and
BNP Paribas, hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies of any notice, certificate,
report or other documents received by it in its capacity as Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Lenders, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents, or otherwise exist against or in respect of the Administrative Agent.

 

    -86-

     

    

 

The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties by or through its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or attorneys in fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

Neither
the Administrative Agent (acting in such capacity) nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Transaction Documents or any delegate under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (except
for its, or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties of any Person (other than itself) contained in the Transaction Documents or any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, the Transaction Documents, or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection
therewith or herewith, or for any failure of any Person (other than itself or its directors, officers, agents or employees) to perform
its obligations under any Transaction Document, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in a Transaction Document. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain
or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, the Transaction
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Custodian.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any communication (written
or verbal) or any document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person(s) and
upon advice of legal counsel (including any Lender’s counsel), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the
other Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of a Lender,
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Collateral Manager, the Custodian, the
Borrower or a Lender referring to this Agreement and describing such event. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect
to such event as shall be reasonably directed in writing by a Lender; provided that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

    -87-

     

    

 

The
Lenders expressly acknowledge that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in
fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Custodian, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Custodian and the Assets, and made its own decision to extend Loans hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower,
the Collateral Manager or the Custodian and the Assets. Except as expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Collateral or the business, operations,
property, prospects, financial and other conditions or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian or any
of the Lenders which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

 

In
no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance
of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether
declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, or the like which
delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Each
Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent or the affected Person in connection with any
investigative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such affected Person shall
be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such
affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated
hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith (but excluding any
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such affected Person).

 

    -88-

     

    

 

If
the Administrative Agent resigns as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent
(with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, if such successor agent is not an Affiliate of the Administrative
Agent), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative
Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s
rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Administrative Agent or any party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may resign upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders
(with a copy to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Custodian). Such resignation will become effective upon a successor administrative
agent succeeding to the Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties; provided that if a successor Administrative
Agent is not appointed within ten (10) days of the Administrative Agent giving notice of its resignation, it may petition a court for
its removal. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement in respect of the Administrative
Agent shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement.

 

The
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrower, the Custodian or the Collateral Manager as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 11. CALCULATION
DISPUTE MECHANISM

 

If
at any time the Collateral Manager disputes the Assigned Value ascribed to one or more Assets that was determined by the Administrative
Agent not using a Pricing Source (each such Asset, a “Disputed Asset”), the Collateral Manager shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Custodian of such dispute at or before the Dispute Time. Upon receipt of such notification, the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Manager shall consult with each other in an attempt to resolve such dispute in a timely and reasonable manner. If such
consultation does not resolve the dispute within one (1) Business Day of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of notice of such dispute,
the following mechanism (the “Calculation Dispute Mechanism”) shall apply:

 

(a) The
Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent shall each seek bid quotations from two or more Independent Dealers (each, an “Independent
Bid”) for each Disputed Asset.

 

(b) For
each Disputed Asset for which there are three or more Resolution Values at the Resolution Time, the Assigned Value shall be calculated
as follows:

 

(i) If
the average of such Resolution Values is more than 2% higher or lower than the Administrative Agent’s original valuation, the
Assigned Value shall be recalculated based on the average of the Resolution Values and Administrative Agent’s original
valuation; provided that, in the event the Administrative Agent’s original valuation is the lowest of all
Resolution Values obtained, then both the highest Resolution Value and Administrative Agent’s original valuation shall be
disregarded for purposes of calculating such average.

 

    -89-

     

    

 

(ii) If
the average of such Resolution Values is less than 2% higher or lower than the Administrative Agent’s original valuation, the Assigned
Value shall be the Administrative Agent’s original valuation.

 

(c) For
each Disputed Asset for which there are two Resolution Values at the Resolution Time, the Assigned Value shall be calculated as follows:

 

(i) If
the lower of such Resolution Values is more than 2% higher or lower than the Administrative Agent’s original valuation, the Assigned
Value shall be recalculated as the lower of the two Resolution Values.

 

(ii) If
the lower of such Resolution Values is less than 2% higher or lower than the Administrative Agent’s original valuation, the Assigned
Value shall be the Administrative Agent’s original valuation.

 

(d) For
each Disputed Asset for which there is one or no Resolution Value at the Resolution Time, the Assigned Value shall be Administrative Agent’s
original valuation.

 

For
purposes of the daily report required under Section 4(b) of the Custody Agreement, the Custodian shall use the Administrative Agent’s
original valuation of each Disputed Asset until it receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the alternative Assigned Value as
determined pursuant to this Section 11.

 

SECTION 12. ASSIGNMENT
OF COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

 

The Borrower
and the Collateral Manager hereby agree and consent:

 

(a) to
the assignment of the Collateral Management Agreement by the Borrower and performance by the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s
behalf of any provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents expressly applicable to the Collateral Manager herein or
therein, subject to the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement;

 

(b) that
the assignment by the Borrower of all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, all of the representations, covenants and agreements made by the Collateral Manager
in the Collateral Management Agreement are also for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties;

 

(c) to
deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered
to the Borrower pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement;

 

    -90-

     

    

 

(d) to
the Administrative Agent being empowered to enforce the Collateral Management Agreement on behalf of the Borrower and/or the Secured Parties
as if the Administrative Agent were directly a party to the Collateral Management Agreement and the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Secured Parties (and the Secured Parties to the extent any thereof is indemnified by the Collateral Manager thereunder) constituting
express third party beneficiaries of the Collateral Management Agreement.

 

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

 

(a) Amendments.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document shall be effective unless such amendment shall be
in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder, the Administrative Agent
and the Required Lenders (with a copy to the Custodian). No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document
and no consent by the Administrative Agent to any departure therefrom by the Borrower shall be effective unless such waiver or consent
shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Administrative Agent and any such waiver or consent shall then be effective
only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instance specified in such writing. No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights, power or privilege. At any time while the
Agreement is in force and at the request of the Administrative Agent, the parties hereto hereby agree to enter into any additional agreements
or amendments that the Administrative Agent determines are necessary or advisable to permit the parties to comply with Applicable Law
so long as no such agreement or amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder
hereunder or impose on it any material additional cost or expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender
shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or modification hereunder, except that (x) the Loans and Individual
Lender Maximum Funding Amount of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting
Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

(b) Notices.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, notices and other communications to each party hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service or mailed to the address provided in Schedule A hereto (or at such
other address as may be provided from time to time in writing by such party to the other parties hereto). Notice delivered by hand,
overnight courier service or mail shall be effective upon receipt. In addition, delivery by electronic mail or facsimile
transmission shall be permitted written notice hereunder that shall be effective immediately upon dispatch. Any notice or other
communication permitted to be given, made or confirmed by telephone hereunder shall be given, made or confirmed by means of a
telephone call to the intended recipient at the number specified in writing by such Person for such purpose, it being understood and
agreed that a voicemail message shall in no event be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. The
effectiveness of any notice or other communication to be provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined without
regard to the delivery to or receipt by any other persons required to be copied as provided in Schedule A hereto.

 

    -91-

     

    

 

The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices of borrowings) purportedly given
by or on behalf of any other party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded
or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Borrower and each party giving such notice shall indemnify each Indemnitee (as defined below) from all losses, costs, expenses
and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such party. The Administrative
Agent may record all telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent, and each party hereby consents to such
recording.

 

(c) Successors;
Assignment. (i) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Except as expressly permitted hereunder, none of the Borrower, the Equityholder or the Collateral Manager may assign their rights or
obligations hereunder. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time (i) assign all or any part of its rights and
obligations hereunder (including, in the case of a Lender, all or a portion of its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount and the
Loans at the time owing to it) to any other Person with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that
no such consent shall be required if (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) the assignment is to an Affiliate
of the Administrative Agent or to a different domestic or foreign branch of a Lender or (C) if such assignment is required by
Applicable Law (in which case the assigning Lender shall deliver notice to the Borrower of the relevant Applicable Law requiring
such assignment and the basis therefor), and (ii) grant to any other Person participating interests in all or part of its rights and
obligations hereunder without notice to any party; provided that (v) such granting Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged and such Lender shall remain the holder of any related promissory note for all purposes under
this Agreement, (w) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(x) the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (y) such granting Lender may agree with such
participant that such Lender shall not, without the consent of such participant, agree to any Material Amendment that affects such
participant and (z) any participant must be bound by Section 13(n). As used herein,
“Material Amendment” means any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement that (1) reduces the
principal amount of any Loan or reduces the rate of interest thereon, or reduces any fees payable hereunder, (2) postpones the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any other amounts payable hereunder or
reduces the amount of, waives or excuses any such payment, or postpones the scheduled Conversion Date or (3) changes any of the
provisions of this Section 13(c). The Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder each agree to execute any
documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with any such assignment; provided that
no such documents may contain terms that adversely affect the rights or interests of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the
Equityholder. With respect to an assignment by a Lender, such Lender and its assignee shall execute an
Assignment and Assumption. All information provided by or on behalf of any party to a Lender or its Affiliates may be
furnished by such Lender to its Affiliates and to any actual or proposed assignee or participant. Any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 13(p) and Section 2(j) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 2(j) 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 13(c)(i); provided that
such participant (I) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 13(p) or 2(j), with respect to
any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to
receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the date of such participation and (II) agrees to be
subject to the provisions of Section 13(x) as if it were an assignee under this Section 13(c). Each Lender that sells
a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to
effectuate the provisions of Section 13(x)(ii) with respect to any participant.

 

    -92-

     

    

 

(ii) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignee of an interest in a promissory note evidencing
the Loans), and the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(iii) Each
Lender that sells a participating interest in all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, any participating interest in any rights under any promissory note evidencing the Loans) 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 participant’s interest in the Loans or other 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 Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, Loans, or other obligations under any Transaction Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Individual Lender Maximum Funding
Amount, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

    -93-

     

    

 

(d) Fees
and Expenses. On any Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay from funds on deposit in the Accounts that are available therefor in
accordance with this Agreement, (i) to the Lenders on demand, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and legal fees
(excluding any allocated costs for in-house legal services), including any reasonable and documented costs associated with any audit
of the Borrower requested by the Administrative Agent, incurred by such party or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement,
or any instruments or agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith, provided that solely in the case of reimbursement of
legal fees for the Lenders (other than the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall only be obligated to reimburse such Lenders for
legal fees and expenses of one counsel for all such Lenders except that, if any such Lender reasonably determines that counsel for
the Lenders has a conflict of interest, the Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of additional counsel selected
by such Lender (in addition to any local counsel) separate from counsel for all Lenders in connection with any action or separate
but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, (ii) any
annual governmental fees of the Borrower, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Custodian under the Custody Agreement and the
Securities Intermediary under the Account Control Agreement and (iv) any other expenses of the Borrower that the Collateral Manager
has approved (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any fees or expenses payable to the Collateral Manager)
including, but not limited to, assignment fees, legal fees, restructuring fees and outside advisor fees incurred in relation to the
Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Lenders in connection with documenting the Transaction Documents that exceed, in the aggregate, $100,000
without the Administrative Agent obtaining the Borrower’s prior written consent and (ii) all of the costs and expenses
incurred by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 13(d) shall be directly related to the Transaction Documents. This Section 13(d)
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax
claim.

 

(e)
Indemnity.

 

(i) The
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and their
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) (all of the foregoing being collectively called
“Indemnified Amounts”), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by
the Borrower, the Equityholder, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Collateral Manager (as applicable) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (A) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (B) any Loan or equity contribution or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (C) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on
any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or equity contribution or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other
materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The agreements in this subsection
shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations and liabilities of the parties under the
Transaction Documents and the termination of the Transaction Documents. All amounts due under this subsection shall be payable
within ten Business Days after demand therefor to the extent that funds in the Accounts are available for such payment in accordance
with this Agreement. If the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to an Indemnitee or is insufficient to hold an Indemnitee
harmless, then the Borrower agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee, on
the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnitee, on the one
hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. This Section
13(e)(i) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(ii) The
Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts that may
be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of any
one or more of the following: (A) any breach by the Collateral Manager of any covenant or any of its obligations under any
Transaction Document, (B) the failure of any of the representations or warranties of the Collateral Manager set forth in any
Transaction Document or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith to be true when made or when
deemed made or repeated and (C) by reason of any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment) on the part of the Collateral Manager in its capacity as Collateral
Manager; except the Collateral Manager shall not be liable to the extent any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) result from the performance or non-performance of the Portfolio Assets or (y) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s bad faith, gross negligence
or willful misconduct; provided that this Section 13(e)(ii) shall not apply with respect
to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax
claim. The Collateral Manager shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnitee to the extent an Indemnitee affects any
settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(iii) The
Equityholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts that may be incurred
by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of any one or more of
the following: (A) any breach by the Equityholder of any covenant or any of its obligations under any Transaction Document, (B) the failure
of any of the representations or warranties of the Equityholder set forth in any Transaction Document or in any certificate, statement
or report delivered in connection therewith to be true when made or when deemed made or repeated and (C) any gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct on the part of the Equityholder in its capacity as Equityholder; except the Equityholder shall not be liable to
the extent any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided
that this Section 13(e)(iii) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. The Equityholder shall not have any liability hereunder to any
Indemnitee to the extent an Indemnitee affects any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Equityholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(f) Subordination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each party on behalf of itself and its Affiliates
agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any obligations of the Borrower to pay any amounts to such party
shall be subordinate and junior to the obligations of the Borrower to pay amounts to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder,
and on and after the Maturity Date, all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be paid in full in cash
or, to the extent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent, other than in cash before any payment or distribution is made to any
other party.

 

(g) Limited
Recourse; Non-Petition; Recourse. The Collateral Manager, the Equityholder, the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledge
that the Borrower is a special purpose entity and that none of the directors, officers, incorporators, shareholders, members,
partners, agents or employees (collectively, the “Relevant Agents”) of the Borrower (including, without
limitation, the Equityholder and any Affiliate thereof) shall be personally liable for any of the obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Manager is not a Relevant Agent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower’s sole source of funds for payment of all amounts due hereunder shall
be the Borrower Collateral, and, upon application of the proceeds of the Borrower Collateral and its reduction to zero in accordance
with the terms and under the circumstances described herein, all obligations of and all claims against the Borrower under this Agreement,
any promissory note or under any other Transaction Document shall extinguish and shall not thereafter revive.

 

    -95-

     

    

 

Each
party (other than the Borrower) agrees not to cause the filing of a petition for the winding up of the Borrower for the non-payment of
any amounts provided in this Agreement until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one
day, after the payment in full of amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder.

 

Except
as expressly provided herein, there shall be no recourse for the payment of any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder against any other
party hereto or any officer, director, employee, shareholder, incorporator or other Affiliate of such Person or any entity controlling
such Person.

 

The terms of this Section 13(g) shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

(h) Adequacy
of Monetary Damages Against the Lenders. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and the Equityholder hereby acknowledges and
agrees that (i) any and all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising out of, or in connection
with, the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders’ rights or remedies
pursuant to this Agreement can be sufficiently and adequately remedied by monetary damages, (ii) no irreparable injury will be caused
to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands,
and (iii) no equitable or injunctive relief shall be sought by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder as a result of,
or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands; provided that this Section 13(h) shall not constitute a waiver
of any rights of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder to seek injunctive relief to enforce its rights under Section
13(n).

 

(i) Validity;
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
(i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall
not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(j) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission and electronic mail), and each counterpart,
when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

OTHERWISE), INCLUDING THE ISSUES SPECIFIED IN ARTICLE 2(1) OF THE HAGUE CONVENTION ON THE LAW APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN RIGHTS IN
RESPECT OF SECURITIES HELD WITH AN INTERMEDIARY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF

(l) Waiver
of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED
TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

(m) USA
Patriot Act Notice. The Administrative Agent hereby notifies each other party hereto that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), the Administrative
Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such party, which information includes the name and address
of such party and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent to identify such party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

(n) Confidentiality.
The parties hereto agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be
disclosed by any party (a) to its Affiliates and to its directors, officers, members, principals, employees, agents, counsel and
other advisors, in each case that have a need for such information relative to this facility (collectively,

the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and the disclosing party
shall be responsible for any breach by its related Parties under this Section 13(n)); (b) to the

that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information;
(c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that with
respect to disclosures of Information pursuant to a subpoena or similar legal process, (A) prior to any disclosure under this clause

Agreement, the terms and substance of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and any term sheet.

 

    -97-

     

    

 

(o) Nonreliance.
Each party acknowledges to each of the others that it is a sophisticated person with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement,
and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the obligors on the Portfolio Assets to make an informed
decision regarding the acquisition and disposition of the Portfolio Assets. Each party hereby agrees that it has independently, and without
reliance on any other, and based on such information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into the
transactions described in this Agreement; provided that the Borrower and the Secured Parties are relying on the Collateral
Manager to select Assets in accordance with the standard of care set forth in the Collateral Management Agreement and to determine that
such Assets, on the date of such selection and at the time of their acquisition by the Borrower, satisfy the Eligibility Requirements
and are eligible for acquisition by the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Underlying Instrument pursuant
to which such Assets were issued. From time to time upon the Collateral Manager’s reasonable request therefor, the Borrower shall
provide to the Collateral Manager customary information regarding its status for purposes of confirming such eligibility.

 

(p) Increased
Costs. The Borrower shall reimburse or compensate the Lenders, on any Payment Date following demand therefor together with a
certificate, to the extent that funds in the Accounts are available for such payment in accordance with this Agreement, for all
costs incurred, losses suffered or payments made by the Lenders which are applied or reasonably allocated by the Lenders to the
transactions contemplated herein (all as determined by the Lenders in its reasonable discretion) by reason of (A) any and all future
reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirements against (or against any class of or change in or in the amount of)
assets, liabilities or commitments of, or extensions of credit by, the Lenders; and compliance by the Lenders with any directive, or
requirements from any regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or (B) any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified
Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on a
Lender’s loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto, that in each of the foregoing cases in this Section 13(p) results or arises from
any Change in Law, provided that (i) demand for such payment is made within 180 days of the date on which such cost or loss was
incurred and (ii) similar costs or losses are being charged by the Lenders to all other similarly situated customers.

 

(q)
Final Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

 

(r) Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered
in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2(j), 13(d), 13(e), 13(f),
13(g), 13(k), 13(l), 13(n), 13(p), and this Section 13(r) shall survive and remain in full force
and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of any commitment to fund Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

(s) Ratable
Payments. If any Secured Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Borrower
Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party (other than payments received pursuant to an indemnity) in a greater proportion than that
received by any other Secured Party, such Secured Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty
a portion of the Borrower Secured Obligations owing to the other Secured Parties so that after such purchase each Secured Party will hold
its ratable proportion of the Borrower Secured Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered
from such Secured Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

 

(t) No
Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party or any Indemnitee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any
right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower during the existence of an Event of
Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower to the amounts owed by the Borrower under this Agreement, to such Lender or its successors and assigns.

 

    -98-

     

    

 

(u) 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective assets.

 

(v) Option
to Acquire Rating. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent (on behalf and at the expense of
the requesting Lender) may, at any time and in its sole discretion, obtain a public rating for this loan facility. The Borrower and the
Collateral Manager hereby agree, subject to being reimbursed for its expenses by the requesting Lender, to use commercially reasonable
efforts, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to cooperate with the acquisition and maintenance of any such rating.

 

(w) Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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
Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(B) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected 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

 

(C) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.

 

(x) Replacement
of Lenders.

 

(i) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 13(p), or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts
to any Lender or Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2(j), then such Lender shall (at the
request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loans and Individual
Lender Maximum Funding Amounts or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2(j)
or Section 13(p), as the case may be, in the future, and (B) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(ii) At
any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, to replace any Lender, except
(A) the Administrative Agent or (B) any Lender which is administered by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative
Agent, that (1) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2(j) or Section 13(p),
(2) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would entitle such Lender to payment of additional
amounts pursuant to Section 2(j) or Section 13(p), unless such Lender designates a different lending office before such
change in law becomes effective pursuant to Section 13(x)(ii) and such alternate lending office obviates the Borrower making payments
of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2(j) or Section 13(p), (3) has not consented to any proposed amendment, supplement,
modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 13(a), or (4) is a Defaulting Lender; provided, that (t) nothing
herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its failure to make any Loan,
(u) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior
to the date of replacement, (v) prior to the Conversion Date, the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (w) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance
with the provisions of Section 13(c)(ii), (x) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay
all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Taxes, as the case may be,

 

(y) any such replacement
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the
replaced Lender, and (z) if such replacement is being effected as a result of a Lender requesting compensation pursuant to Section
2(j) or Section 13(p), such replacement, if effected, will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment thereafter.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

MOODY’S
RATING DEFINITIONS

 

“Assigned
Moody’s Rating” means the monitored publicly available rating, the private rating (so long as such private rating has
been issued or provided by Moody’s within the previous 15 months) or the credit estimate (so long as such credit estimate has been
issued or provided by Moody’s within the previous 15 months) expressly assigned to a debt obligation (or facility) by Moody’s;
provided that, in the case of a private rating or credit estimate assigned to an obligation by Moody’s more than 13
months earlier, the Assigned Moody’s Rating of such obligation shall be one subcategory lower than such private rating or credit
estimate, as applicable.

 

“CFR”
means with respect to an issuer or obligor of a Portfolio Asset, (a) if such issuer or obligor has a corporate family rating by Moody’s,
then such corporate family rating, or

(b) if
such issuer or obligor does not have a corporate family rating by Moody’s but any entity in the corporate family of such issuer
or obligor does have a corporate family rating, then such corporate family rating.

 

“Moody’s
Default Probability Rating” means, with respect to any Portfolio Asset, as of any date of determination, the rating determined
in accordance with the following methodology:

 

		(i)	If the obligor of such Portfolio Asset has a CFR, then such CFR;

 

		(ii)	If
                                            not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, if such Portfolio Asset has an Assigned Moody’s
                                            Rating, then (x) in the case of a Moody’s Senior Secured Loan or participation interest
                                            in a Moody’s Senior Secured Loan with respect to which the Assigned Moody’s Rating
                                            is the monitored publicly available rating thereof, the Moody’s rating that is one
                                            subcategory lower than such monitored publicly available rating, and (y)
                                            in all other cases, such Assigned Moody’s Rating;

 

		(iii)	If not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, (A) if the obligor
of such Portfolio Asset has one or more senior unsecured obligations with an Assigned Moody’s Rating, then the Assigned Moody’s
Rating on any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion or, if no such rating is available, (B) if
the obligor of such Portfolio Asset has one or more senior secured obligations with an Assigned Moody’s Rating, then the Moody’s
rating that is one subcategory lower than the Assigned Moody’s Rating on any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager
in its sole discretion; and

 

		(iv)	If not determined pursuant to clause (i) through (iii) above, the Moody’s
Derived Rating;

 

provided that,
for purposes of calculating a Moody’s Weighted Average Rating Factor, each applicable rating, at the time of calculation, on
credit watch by Moody’s with positive or negative implication will be treated as having
been upgraded or downgraded by one rating subcategory, as the case may be.

 

“Moody’s
Derived Rating” means, with respect to a Portfolio Asset whose Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating
cannot otherwise be determined pursuant to the definitions thereof, such Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating
as determined in the manner set forth below:

 

		(i)	By using any one of the methods provided below:

 

(A) if
such Portfolio Asset has a public and monitored rating by S&P, pursuant to the table below:

 

	Type of Portfolio Asset  	 	Rating by S&P

 (Public and 
    Monitored)	 	Portfolio Asset Rated

 by S&P	 	Number of 

    Subcategories

	Not Structured Finance Obligation  	 	 	 	Loan or participation interest in loan  	 	-2  

 

    Sch. E-1-1

     

    

 

(B) if
such Portfolio Asset is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P
(a “parallel security”), then the rating of such parallel security will at the election of the Collateral Manager be
determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (i)(A) above, and the Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability
Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in the table below (for such purposes treating
the parallel security as if it were rated by Moody’s at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (i)(B)):

 

	 	 	 	 	Number of Subcategories
	
    Obligation Category of Rated 

    
	 	
    Rating of Rated 

    
	 	
    Relative to Rated Obligation

	Senior secured obligation	 	less than B2	 	-2 
	Subordinated obligation	 	greater than or equal to B3	 	+1 
	Subordinated obligation	 	less than B3	 	0

 

and

 

		(ii)	If not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, then “Caa3”.

 

For
purposes of calculating a Moody’s Derived Rating, each applicable rating on credit watch by Moody’s that is on (x) positive
watch will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory and (y) negative watch will be treated as having been downgraded
by one rating subcategory.

 

“Moody’s
Rating” means, with respect to any Portfolio Asset, as of any date of determination, the rating determined in accordance with
the following methodology:

 

		(i)	With respect to a Moody’s Senior Secured Loan, the rating thereof determined as follows:

 

(a) With
respect to a Portfolio Asset that has an Assigned Moody’s Rating, such Assigned Moody’s Rating.

 

(b) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a) above, if the obligor of such Portfolio Asset has a CFR, then the Moody’s rating that is one
subcategory higher than such CFR.

 

(c) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, if the obligor of such Portfolio Asset has one or more senior unsecured obligations
with an Assigned Moody’s Rating, then the Moody’s rating that is two subcategories higher than the Assigned Moody’s
Rating on any such senior unsecured obligation, as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion.

 

(d) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above, the Moody’s Derived Rating.

 

(ii) With
respect to a Moody’s Non-Senior Secured Loan, the rating thereof determined as follows,

 

(a) With
respect to a Portfolio Asset that has an Assigned Moody’s Rating, such Assigned Moody’s Rating.

 

(b) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a) above, if the obligor of such Portfolio Asset has one or more senior unsecured obligations with
an Assigned Moody’s Rating, then the Assigned Moody’s Rating on any such obligation, as selected by the Collateral Manager
in its sole discretion.

 

(c) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, if the obligor of such Portfolio Asset has a CFR, then the Moody’s rating that
is one subcategory lower than such CFR.

 

(d) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above, if another obligation of the related obligor that is subordinate in right of
payment to such Portfolio Asset has an Assigned Moody’s Rating, then the Moody’s rating that is one subcategory higher than
the Assigned Moody’s Rating on such obligation.

 

    Sch. E-1-2

     

    

 

(e) If
not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, the Moody’s Derived Rating.

 

For
purposes of calculating a Moody’s Rating, each applicable rating on credit watch by Moody’s that is on (x) positive watch
will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory and (y) negative watch will be treated as having been downgraded by
one rating subcategory.

 

“Moody’s Senior Secured Loan”
means:

 

		(a)	a loan that:

 

(i) is
not (and cannot by its terms become) subordinate in right of payment to any other debt obligation of the obligor of the loan;

 

(ii) (x)
is secured by a valid first priority perfected security interest or lien in, to or on specified collateral securing the obligor’s
obligations under the loan and (y) such specified collateral does not consist entirely of equity securities or common stock; provided
that any loan that would be considered a Moody’s Senior Secured Loan but for clause (y) above shall be considered a Moody’s
Senior Secured Loan if it is a loan made to a parent entity and as to which the Collateral Manager determines in good faith that the value
of the common stock of the subsidiary (or other equity interests in the subsidiary) securing such loan at or about the time of acquisition
of such loan by the Borrower has a value that is at least equal to the outstanding principal balance of such loan and the outstanding
principal balances of any other obligations of such parent entity that are pari passu with such loan, which value may include,
among other things, the enterprise value of such subsidiary of such parent entity; and

 

(iii) the
value of the collateral securing the loan together with other attributes of the obligor (including, without limitation, its general financial
condition, ability to generate cash flow available for debt service and other demands for that cash flow) is adequate (in the commercially
reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager) to repay the loan in accordance with its terms and to repay all other loans of equal seniority
secured by a first lien or security interest in the same collateral; or

 

		(b)	a loan that:

 

(i) is
not (and cannot by its terms become) subordinate in right of payment to any other debt obligation of the obligor of the loan, except
that such loan can be subordinate with respect to the liquidation of such obligor or the collateral
for such loan;

 

(ii) with
respect to such liquidation, is secured by a valid perfected security interest or lien that is not a first priority in, to or on specified
collateral securing the obligor’s obligations under the loan;

 

(iii) the
value of the collateral securing the loan together with other attributes of the obligor (including, without limitation, its general financial
condition, ability to generate cash flow available for debt service and other demands for that cash flow) is adequate (in the commercially
reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager) to repay the loan in accordance with its terms and to repay all other loans of equal or
higher seniority secured in the same collateral; and

 

(iv) (x)
has a Moody’s facility rating and the obligor of such loan has a Moody’s corporate family rating and (y) such Moody’s
facility rating is not lower than such Moody’s corporate family rating; and

 

 (c) the loan is not:

 

(i) a
DIP Collateral Obligation; or

 

(ii) a
loan for which the security interest or lien (or the validity or effectiveness thereof) in substantially all of its collateral attaches,
becomes effective, or otherwise “springs” into existence after the origination thereof.

S&P
RATING DEFINITION

 

“S&P Rating”
means, with respect to any Portfolio Asset, as of any date of determination, the rating determined in accordance with the following methodology:

 

(i) with
respect to a Portfolio Asset (a) if there is an issuer credit rating of the issuer of such Portfolio Asset by S&P as published by
S&P, or the guarantor which unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees such Portfolio Asset then the S&P Rating will be such rating
(regardless of whether there is a published rating by S&P on the Portfolio Assets of such issuer held by the Borrower) or (b) if there
is no issuer credit rating of the issuer by S&P but (1) if there is a senior secured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer,
then the S&P Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be one subcategory below such rating; (2) if there is a senior unsecured rating on
any obligation or security of the issuer, the S&P Rating of such Portfolio Asset will equal such rating; and (3) if there is a subordinated
rating on any obligation or security of the issuer, then the S&P Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be one subcategory above such
rating if such rating is higher than “BB+,” and will be two subcategories above such rating if such rating is “BB+”
or lower; or

 

(ii) if
there is not a rating by S&P on the issuer or on an obligation of the issuer, and an obligation of the issuer is publicly rated by
Moody’s, then the S&P Rating will be determined in accordance with the methodologies for establishing the Moody’s Rating
set forth above except that the S&P Rating of such obligation will be (1) one subcategory below the S&P equivalent of the Moody’s
Rating if such Moody’s Rating is “Baa3” or higher and (2) two subcategories below the S&P equivalent of the Moody’s
Rating if such Moody’s Rating is “Ba1” or lower; provided that the aggregate principal balance of the
Portfolio Assets that may have an S&P Rating derived from a Moody’s Rating as set forth in this clause (ii) shall not exceed
10% of the Maximum Portfolio Amount;

 

provided,
that for purposes of the determination of the S&P Rating, (x) if the applicable rating assigned by S&P to an obligor or its obligations
is on “credit watch positive” by S&P, such rating will be treated as being one subcategory above such assigned rating,
(y) if the applicable rating assigned by S&P to an obligor or its obligations is on “credit watch negative” by S&P,
such rating will be treated as being one subcategory below such assigned rating and (z) any reference to the S&P rating in this definition
will mean the public S&P rating and will not include any private or confidential S&P rating unless (a) the obligor and any other

FITCH
RATINGS DEFINITIONS

 

“Fitch Rating”
means, as of any date of determination, the Fitch Rating of any Portfolio Asset shall be determined as follows:

 

		(a)	if Fitch has issued an issuer default rating with respect to the issuer of such Portfolio Asset, or the
guarantor which unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees such Portfolio Asset, then the Fitch Rating shall be such issuer default rating
(regardless of whether there is a published rating by Fitch on the Portfolio Assets of such issuer held by the Borrower);

 

		(b)	if Fitch has not issued an issuer default rating with respect to the issuer or guarantor of such Portfolio
Asset but Fitch has issued an outstanding long-term financial strength rating with respect to such issuer, the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio
Asset will be one sub-category below such rating;

 

		(c)	if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b), but

 

		(i)	Fitch has issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Portfolio
Asset, then the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will equal such rating; or

 

		(ii)	Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Portfolio
Asset but Fitch has issued a senior rating, senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating on any obligation or security of the
issuer of such Portfolio Asset, then the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will (x) equal such rating if such rating is “BBB-”
or higher and (y) be one sub-category below such rating if such rating is “BB+” or lower; or

 

		(iii)	Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating or a senior rating, senior secured rating or a subordinated
secured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Portfolio Asset but Fitch has issued a subordinated, junior subordinated
or senior subordinated rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Portfolio Asset, then the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio
Asset will be (x) one sub-category above such rating if such rating is “B+” or higher and (y) two sub-categories above such
rating if such rating is “B” or lower;

 

		(d)	if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) and

                                            has issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Portfolio
                                            Asset, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch
                                            Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating;

 

		(ii)	Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Portfolio
Asset but has issued a publicly available long-term issuer rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the
Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating;

 

		(iii)	Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Portfolio
Asset but Moody’s has issued a publicly available outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such issuer, then, subject
to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be one sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such
Moody’s rating;

 

		(iv)	Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Portfolio
Asset but has issued a publicly available outstanding corporate issue rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below,
the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be (x) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior unsecured obligations of such issuer,
the Fitch equivalent of the Moody’s rating for such issue, if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured
obligations of the issuer then (y) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations
of such issuer,

 

    Sch. E-3-1

     

    

 

(1) one
sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “Ba1” or above or “Ca”
by Moody’s or (2) two sub-categories below the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “Ba2”
or below but above “Ca” by Moody’s, or if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured, senior,
senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of the issuer then (z) if such corporate issue rating relates to subordinated, junior
subordinated or senior subordinated obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub-category above the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s
rating if such obligations are rated “B1” or above by Moody’s or (2) two sub-categories above the Fitch equivalent of
such Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “B2” or below by Moody’s;

 

		(v)	S&P has issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Portfolio Asset, then,
subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of Portfolio Asset will be the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating;

                                                                 Asset but S&P has issued a publicly available outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below,
the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be one sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating;

 

		(vii)	S&P has not issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Portfolio Asset
but has issued a publicly available outstanding corporate issue rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below,
the Fitch Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be (x) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior unsecured obligations of such issuer,
the Fitch equivalent of the S&P rating for such issue, if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured obligations

or (2) two sub-categories above the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated “B” or below by
S&P; and

 

		(viii)	both Moody’s and S&P provide a public rating of the issuer of such Portfolio Asset or a corporate
issue of such issuer, then the Fitch Rating will be the lowest of the Fitch Ratings determined pursuant to any of the subclauses of this
clause (d).

 

		(e)	if a rating cannot be determined pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) then, (i) at the discretion
of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower may apply to Fitch for a Fitch credit opinion, and the issuer
default rating provided in connection with such rating will then be the Fitch Rating, or

 

(ii)
the Borrower may assign a Fitch Rating of “CCC” or lower to such Portfolio Asset which is not in default;

 

provided that,
if any rating described above is (i) on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, the rating will be the Fitch Rating as determined
above adjusted down by one sub-category, or (ii) on rating watch positive or positive credit watch, the rating will not be adjusted; provided,
further, that if any rating described above is on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, the rating will be adjusted down
by one-sub-category; provided, further, that the Fitch Rating may be updated by Fitch from time to time as indicated in
the “CLOs and Corporate CDOs Rating Criteria” report issued by Fitch and available at www.fitchratings.com. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Fitch Rating takes into account adjustments for assets that are on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, as well
as negative outlook prior to determining the issue rating or in the determination of the lower of the Moody’s and S&P rating
public ratings.

The following steps are used to calculate
the Fitch IDR equivalent ratings:

 

 (1) Public or private Fitch-issued IDR.

 

 (2) If Fitch has not issued an IDR, but has an outstanding Long-Term Financial Strength Rating, then the IDR equivalent is one rating lower.

 

 (3) If Fitch has not issued an IDR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above.

 

 (4) If Fitch does not rate the issuer or any associated issuance, then determine a Moody’s and S&P equivalent to Fitch’s IDR pursuant to steps 5 and 6.

 

(5) (a)
A public Moody’s-issued Corporate Family Rating (“CFR”) is equivalent in definition terms to the Fitch IDR.
If Moody’s has not issued a CFR, but has an outstanding LT issuer Rating, then this is equivalent to the Fitch IDR.

 

(b) If
Moody’s has not issued a CFR, but has an outstanding Insurance Financial Strength Rating, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is one
rating lower.

 

(c) If
Moody’s has not issued a CFR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is calculated using the
mapping in the table above.

 

(6)
(a) A public S&P-issued Issuer Credit Rating (“ICR”) is equivalent in terms of definition
to the Fitch IDR.

 

(b) If
S&P has not issued an ICR, but has an outstanding Insurance Financial Strength Rating, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is one rating
lower.

 

(c) If
S&P has not issued an ICR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping
in the table above.

 

(7)
If both Moody’s and S&P provide a public rating on the issuer or an issue, the lower of the two
Fitch IDR equivalent ratings will be used in Portfolio Credit Model. Otherwise the sole public Fitch IDR equivalent rating from Moody’s
or S&P will be applied.

Schedule
I

 

MOODY’S
RISKCALC

 

“.EDF”
means, with respect to any Asset, the weakest of (A) the lowest of the current year and each of the four previous years’ default
frequencies for such Asset as determined by running Version 3.1 or later of Moody’s RiskCalc in the Credit Cycle Adjusted (“CCA”)
mode and (B) the current year default frequency for such Asset as determined by running Version 3.1 or later version of Moody’s
RiskCalc in the Financial Statement Only (“FSO”) mode.

 

“Pre-Qualifying
Conditions” means, with respect to any Asset, conditions that will be satisfied if the Obligor with respect to the applicable
Asset satisfies the following criteria (or as otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion):

 

1. the
independent accountants of such Obligor shall have issued a signed, unqualified audit opinion with respect to the most recent fiscal
year financial statements, including no explanatory paragraph addressing “going concern” or other issues or such Asset is
subject to a quality of earnings report satisfactory to the Collateral Manager;

 

		2.	the Obligor’s
                                            EBITDA is equal to or greater than $4,000,000;

 

		3.	the Obligor’s
                                            annual sales are equal to or greater than $10,000,000;

 

		4.	the Obligor’s
                                            book assets are equal to or greater than $10,000,000; and

 

		5.	the Obligor is
                                            a private company with no public rating from Moody’s.

 

The
Collateral Manager shall calculate the .EDF for each of the Assets to be rated pursuant to this Schedule I. The Collateral Manager
shall also provide Moody’s with the .EDF and the information necessary to calculate such .EDF upon request from Moody’s.
Moody’s shall have the right (in its commercially reasonable judgment) to (i) amend or modify any of the information utilized to
calculate the .EDF and recalculate the .EDF based upon such revised information, in which case such .EDF shall be determined using the
table in the paragraph below in order to determine the applicable Moody’s rating, or (ii) have a Moody’s credit analyst provide
a rating estimate for any Asset rated pursuant to this Schedule I, in which case such rating estimate provided by such credit
analyst shall be the applicable Moody’s rating.

 

The
Moody’s rating for each Asset that satisfies the Pre-Qualifying Conditions shall be the rating based on the .EDF for such Asset,
as determined in accordance with the table below:

 

	Lowest .EDF	 	Moody’s
    rating
	less than or equal to	 	Ba3
	.baa	 	 
	.ba1	 	B2
	.ba2, .ba3 or .b1	 	B2
	.b2 or .b3	 	B3
	.caa	 	Caa1

 

The
Borrower shall refresh Moody’s RiskCalc (a) at least annually and (b) promptly upon the occurrence of a Revaluation Event with
respect to such Asset.
