 7 

	 	(a)	 The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Custodian all of such Company’s Securities,
cash and other investment assets, including (a) all payments of income, payments of principal and capital distributions received by the Company with respect to such Securities, cash or other assets owned by the Company at any time during the
period of this Agreement and (b) all cash received by the Company for the issuance, at any time during such period, of Shares or other securities or in connection with a borrowing by the Company, except as otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act.
With respect to assets other than Loans, such assets shall be delivered to the Custodian in its role as, and (where relevant) at the address identified for, the Custodian. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, delivery of
Securities to the Custodian shall be in Street Name or other good delivery form. The Custodian shall not be responsible for such Securities, cash or other assets until actually delivered to, and received by it. 

 

	 	(b)	 (i) In connection with its acquisition of a Loan or other delivery of a Security constituting a Loan, the
Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian a properly completed Trade Confirmation containing such information in respect of such Loan as the Custodian may reasonably require in order to enable the Custodian to perform its
duties hereunder in respect of such Loan on which the Custodian may conclusively rely without further inquiry or investigation, in such form and format as the Custodian reasonably may require. 

(ii) Notwithstanding any term hereof or elsewhere to the contrary, (a) it is hereby expressly acknowledged that (i) interests in
Loans may be acquired by the Company (or, if applicable, a Subsidiary thereof) from time to time which are not evidenced by, or accompanied by delivery of, a Security or an instrument, as that term is defined in
Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Custodian of a facsimile or electronic copy of an assignment agreement (“Loan Assignment Agreement”) in
favor of the Company as assignee or, in respect of any Loan acquired by participation interest, a participation agreement (a “Participation Agreement”) in favor of the Company as participant, (ii) any such Loan Assignment Agreement
or Participation Agreement (and the registration of the related Loan on the books and records of the applicable obligor or bank agent) shall be registered in the name of the Company or, if applicable, a Subsidiary thereof (or, in either case, its
nominee), and (iii) any duty on the part of the Custodian with respect to such Loan shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Custodian in the physical custody of any such Loan Assignment Agreement, Participation Agreement, and
any related instrument, security, credit agreement, assignment agreement and/or other agreements or documents, if any (collectively, “Financing Documents”), that may be delivered to it, and (b) nothing herein shall require the
Custodian to credit to the Securities Account or to treat as a financial asset (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) any such Loan or other asset in the nature of a general intangible (as
defined in Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC) or to “maintain” a sufficient quantity thereof. The Custodian is not under a duty to examine any such Financing Documents, or any underlying credit
agreements or loan documents for such Loan 

  
 8 

 to determine the validity, sufficiency, marketability or enforceability of any Loan
Assignment Agreement, Participation Agreement or other Financing Document (and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or completeness thereof), or for the Company’s title to any related Loan. The Custodian may assume the genuineness
of each such Financing Document it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each such Financing Document it may receive is what it purports to be. If an original
Security or instrument is or shall be or become available with respect to any such Loan, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Company to make or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation at
any time to determine whether any such original security or instrument has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian. 

(iii) The Custodian may assume the genuineness of any such Financing Document it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any
signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each such Financing Document it may receive is what it purports to be. If an original “security” or “instrument” as defined in
Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any Loan to be held by the Custodian under
this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Company to make or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to determine whether any such original security or instrument has
been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian. 
 (iv)
Contemporaneously with the acquisition of any Loan, the Company shall (i) cause any appropriate Financing Documents evidencing such Loan to be delivered to the Custodian; (ii) if requested by the Custodian, provide to the Custodian an
amortization schedule of principal payments and a schedule of the interest payable date(s) identifying the amount and due dates of all scheduled principal and interest payments for such Loan and (iii) provide a properly completed Trade
Confirmation containing such information in respect of such Loan as the Custodian may reasonably require in order to enable the Custodian to perform its duties hereunder in respect of such Loan on which the Custodian may conclusively rely without
further inquiry or investigation, in such form and format as the Custodian reasonably may require; (iv) take all actions necessary for the Company to acquire good title to such Loan; and (v) take all actions as may be necessary (including
appropriate payment notices and instructions to bank agents or other applicable paying agents or administrative agents) to cause (A) all payments in respect of the Loan to be made to the Custodian and (B) all notices, solicitations and
other communications in respect of such Loan to be directed to the Company. The Custodian shall have no liability for any delay or failure on the part of the Company to provide necessary information to the Custodian, or for any inaccuracy therein or
incompleteness thereof, or for any delay or failure on 

  
 9 

 the part of the Company to give such effective payment instruction to bank agents and other
paying agents or administrative agents, in respect of the Loans. With respect to each such Loan, the Custodian shall be entitled to rely on any information and notices it may receive from time to time from the related bank agent, obligor,
participating bank, nationally recognized pricing service or vendor, reputable financial information reporting source or similar party with respect to the related Loan, and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or
appropriate), or from the Company, on the basis of such information or notices received, without any obligation on its part independently to verify, investigate or recalculate such information. 

3.4 Release of Securities. 
  

	 	(a)	 The Custodian shall release and if applicable, ship for delivery, or direct its agents or Sub-Custodian to release and if applicable, ship for delivery, as the case may be, Securities of the Company held by the Custodian, its agents or its Sub-Custodian from time
to time upon receipt of Proper Instructions (which shall, among other things, specify the Securities to be released, with such delivery and other information as may be necessary to enable the Custodian to perform), which may be standing instructions

agents or its Sub-Custodian); and/or 

  

	 	(ix)	 for any other purpose, but only upon receipt of Proper Instructions. 

3.5 Registration of Securities. Securities held by the Custodian, its agents or its
Sub-Custodian (other than bearer securities or securities held in a Securities System) shall be registered in the name of the Company or its nominee; or, at the option of the Custodian, in the name of the
Custodian or in the name of any nominee of the Custodian, or in the name of its agents or its Sub-Custodian or their nominees; or if directed by the Company by Proper Instruction, may be maintained in Street
Name. The Custodian, its agents and its Sub-Custodian shall not be obligated to accept Securities on behalf of the Company under the terms of this Agreement unless such Securities (other than Loans) are in
Street Name or other good deliverable form.

applicable transaction charges (which shall be at the Company’s expense). The Custodian shall have no liability for any loss incurred on any such investment. Absent receipt of such written instruction from 

  
 11

The Custodian shall have no obligation or duty to exercise any right or power, or otherwise to preserve rights, in or under any Securities
unless and except to the extent it has received timely Proper Instruction from the Company in accordance with the next sentence. The Custodian will not be liable for any untimely exercise of any right or power in connection with Securities at any
time held by the Custodian, its agents or Sub-Custodian unless: 
  

	 	(i)	 the Custodian has received Proper Instructions with regard to the exercise of any such right or power; and

  

	 	(ii)	 the Custodian, or its agents or Sub-Custodian are in actual possession
of such Securities, 

 in each case, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such right or power
is to be exercised. It will be the responsibility of the Company to notify the Custodian of the Person to whom such communications must be forwarded under this Section. 

3.12 Records. The Custodian shall create and maintain complete and accurate records relating to its activities under this Agreement with
respect to the Securities, cash or other property held for the Company under this Agreement. To the extent that the Custodian, in its sole opinion, is able to do so, the Custodian shall provide assistance to the Company (at the Company’s
reasonable request made from time to time) by providing sub-certifications regarding certain of its services performed hereunder to the Company in 

  
 14 

 connection with the Company’s certification requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, as amended. All such records shall be the property of the Company and shall at all times during the regular business hours of the Custodian be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of the Company
(including its independent public accountants) and employees and agents of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon reasonable request and at least five Business Days’ prior written notice and at the Company’s expense. The Custodian
shall, at the Company’s request, supply the Company with a tabulation of securities owned by the Company and held by the Custodian and shall, when requested to do so by the Company and for such compensation as shall be agreed upon between the

Sub-Custodians. The Custodian may appoint one or more Sub-Custodians to establish and maintain arrangements with the Securities Depository. The Custodian’s
responsibility with respect to the selection or appointment of a Sub-Custodian (other than an affiliate of the Custodian) shall be limited to a duty to exercise reasonable care and good faith in the selection
of such Sub-Custodian in light of prevailing 

  
 15 

 settlement and securities handling practices, procedures and controls in the relevant market. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Custodian shall request each Sub-Custodian to identify on its own books and records that any assets held at such Sub-Custodian by
Custodian on behalf of its customers belong to customers of the Custodian, such that it is readily apparent that such assets do not belong to the Custodian or such Sub-Custodian. With respect to any costs,
expenses, damages, liabilities, or claims (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred as a result of the acts or the failure to act by any Sub-Custodian (other than an affiliate of the
Custodian), the Custodian shall take reasonable action to recover such costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, or claims from such Sub-Custodian; provided that the Custodian’s sole liability in that regard

	7.	 CERTAIN GENERAL TERMS 

7.1 No Duty to Examine Financing Documents. Nothing herein shall obligate the Custodian to review or examine the terms of any Financing
Document, underlying instrument, certificate, credit agreement, indenture, loan agreement, promissory note, or other financing document evidencing or governing any Security to determine the validity, sufficiency, marketability or enforceability of
any Security (and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or completeness thereof), or otherwise. 
 7.2 Resolution of
Discrepancies. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in any report provided by the Custodian to the Company and any information contained in the books or records of the Company, the Company shall promptly notify the
Custodian thereof and the parties shall cooperate to diligently resolve the discrepancy. 
 7.3 Improper Instructions. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action (or forebear from taking any action), which it reasonably determines (at its sole option) to be contrary to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. In no

	 	7.4	 Proper Instructions. 

 

	 	(a)	 The Company will give written notice to the Custodian, in form acceptable to the Custodian, specifying the
names and specimen signatures (whether manual, facsimile, pdf or other electronic signature) of persons authorized to give Proper Instructions (collectively, “Authorized Persons” and each is an “Authorized Person”)
which notice shall be signed (whether manual, facsimile, pdf or other electronic signature) by an Authorized Person previously certified to the Custodian. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon the identity and authority of such persons
until it receives written notice from an Authorized Person of the Company to the contrary. The initial Authorized Persons are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof (as such Schedule A may be modified
from time to time by written notice from the Company to the 

  
 17 

	 	
Custodian). The Custodian shall be entitled to accept and act upon Proper Instructions sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods. If such
person on behalf of the Company (or the Investment Manager on its behalf) elects to give the Custodian email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Custodian in its discretion elects to act upon such
instructions, the Custodian’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Custodian shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Custodian’s reliance upon
and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit
instructions and directions to the Custodian, including without limitation the risk of the Custodian acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties and acknowledges and agrees that there may be more
secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable
degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances. The Company hereby authorizes and directs the Custodian to accept, rely and act upon instruction from the Investment Manager, acting on behalf and in the name of the Company
for all purposes hereunder, and the Custodian is authorized to recognize and act upon the instruction of the Investment Manager, acting alone, on behalf and in the stead of the Company for all purposes hereunder; provided that such authorization and
direction may be revoked at any time by an Authorized Person who is an officer of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company (or any other person or entity), and
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, in the event that a subsequent written confirmation of an oral instruction fails to conform to the oral instructions received by the Custodian. The Custodian shall not have an obligation to act
in accordance with purported instructions to the extent that they conflict with applicable law or regulations, local market practice or the Custodian’s operating policies and practices. The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting
from a delay while it obtains clarification of any Proper Instructions. 

  

	 	(c)	 The Company hereby authorizes the Custodian to accept, rely and act upon Proper Instructions from the
Investment Manager acting on behalf and in the name of the Company for all purposes hereunder, and the Custodian is authorized to recognize and act upon the Proper Instructions of the Investment Manager, acting alone, on behalf and in the stead of
the Company for all purposes hereunder (and each reference in this Agreement to the Company shall be deemed to include and to apply to the Investment Manager). 

  
 18 

	 	(d)	 The Company hereby directs the Custodian to accept instructions sent pursuant to secure financial messaging
services provided by SWIFT (“SWIFT Transmissions”) as Proper Instructions for all purposes hereunder. The Company instructs the Custodian to accept and process SWIFT Transmissions initiated by the Company (or the Advisor on its
behalf) to the same extent that written wire transfer instructions are accepted and processed by the Custodian. The Custodian may conclusively rely on SWIFT Transmissions to release payments as instructed, subject to any verification of information
as requested by the Custodian, including the call back process to an individual designated by the Company as authorized to provide such verification. The Custodian may also request, and the Company will provide, an additional signed direction
(whether by manual, facsimile, .pdf or other electronic signature) in order for the Custodian to make such payment in connection with any SWIFT Transmission. For purposes of compliance with any incumbency certificate of the Company, all instructions
received by the Custodian through the methodology described herein shall be deemed in compliance with the procedures outlined therein (to the extent applicable). 

7.5 Actions Permitted Without Express Authority. The Custodian may, at its discretion, without express authority from the Company: 

 

	 	(a)	 make payments to itself as described in or pursuant to Section 3.9(b), or to make payments to itself or
others for expenses of handling securities or other similar items relating to its duties under this Agreement, provided that all such payments shall be accounted for to the Company; 

 

	 	(b)	 surrender Securities in temporary form for Securities in definitive form; 

 

	 	(c)	 endorse for collection cheques, drafts and other negotiable instruments; and 

 

	 	(d)	 in general, attend to all nondiscretionary details in connection with the sale, exchange, substitution,
purchase, transfer and other dealings with the securities and property of the Company. 

 7.6 Evidence of Authority.
The Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate instrument or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly executed (whether manual, facsimile, pdf or other
electronic signature) or otherwise given by or on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Person. The Custodian may receive and accept a certificate signed (whether manual, facsimile, pdf or other electronic signature) by any Authorized Person as
conclusive evidence of: 
  

	 	(a)	 the authority of any person to act in accordance with such certificate; or 

 

	 	(b)	 any determination or of any action by the Company as described in such certificate, 

and such certificate may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary from an
Authorized Person of the Company.

 7.7 Receipt of Communications. Any communication received by the Custodian on a day
which is not a Business Day or after 3:30 p.m., Eastern time (or such other time as is agreed by the Company and the Custodian from time to time), on a Business Day will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day (but in the case of
communications so received after 3:30 p.m., Eastern time, on a Business Day, the Custodian will use reasonable efforts to process such communications as soon as possible after receipt). 

7.8 Actions on the Loans. The Custodian shall have no duty or obligation hereunder to take any action on behalf of the Company, to
communicate on behalf of the Company, to collect amounts or proceeds in respect of, or otherwise to interact or exercise rights or remedies on behalf of the Company, with respect to any of the Loans. All such actions and communications are the

agrees to pay or reimburse to the Custodian upon its request from time to time all costs, disbursements, advances, expenses and indemnification amounts (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred, and any disbursements and advances made (including any account overdraft resulting from any settlement or assumed settlement, provisional credit,
chargeback, returned deposit item, reclaimed payment or claw-back, or the like), in connection with the preparation, execution or enforcement of this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the administration of this
Agreement or performance by the Custodian of its duties and services under this Agreement, from time to time (including costs and expenses of any action deemed necessary by the Custodian to collect any amounts owing to it under this Agreement).

other information is required to be produced or distributed by the Custodian, it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Company, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable terms of this Agreement.

 9.3 General Standards of Care. Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the
Custodian of its appointments hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein): 

 

	 	(a)	 The Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice,
instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper, electronic communication or document furnished to it (including any of the foregoing provided to it by facsimile or electronic means), not only
as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed (whether manual, facsimile, pdf or other electronic signature), sent or

such action or inaction constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on its part and in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to
be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action. The
Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to ascertain whether the Company is in compliance with the 1940 Act, the regulations thereunder, or the Company’s investment objectives and policies then in effect. For avoidance of doubt,
the Custodian shall not be under any obligation to determine whether any investment constitutes an Eligible Investment under this Agreement. 

  
 21 

	 	(c)	 In no event shall the Custodian be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential

any question as to any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, or any matter relating hereto, and the written opinion or advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by the Custodian in good faith in accordance with the opinion and directions of such counsel; the reasonable cost of such services shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 8.2 above.

prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Company or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or 
 (c) a public statement or publication of
information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all

Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event”

the calculation thereof).

 Section 2.2 Procedures for Advances by the Lenders. 

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2, the Borrower may, during the Revolving Period, request
the Lenders make advances of funds (each, a “Loan Advance”) under the Notes by delivering to the Administrative Agent the information and documents set forth in this Section 2.2 at the applicable
times provided herein. Upon receipt of such information and documents, the Administrative Agent will provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto. 

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2 and Section 3.2 the Borrower may, from time to time during the Revolving
Period, request the Swingline Lender make Swingline Advances under the Swingline Note by delivering to the Administrative Agent the information and documents set forth in this Section 2.2 at the applicable times provided
herein. Upon receipt of such information and documents, the Administrative Agent will provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto. 

(c) With respect to (i) Advances at Adjusted Term SOFR (other than Swingline Advances), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) two
(2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date, (ii) a Base Rate borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Funding Date or
(iii) Swingline Advances not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) on the proposed Funding Date, the Borrower shall deliver: 

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

(ii) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian a duly completed Funding Notice (including a duly completed
Borrowing Base Certificate updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) which shall (a) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount shall
not cause the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Availability and must be at least equal to $500,000 (or, in the case of any Advance to be applied to fund any draw under a Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan, such lesser amount as may be required to
fund such draw), to be allocated to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, (b) specify the proposed Funding Date of such Advance, (c) specify the Loan(s) to be financed on such Funding Date (including the appropriate Obligor,
Outstanding Balance, Assigned Value and Purchase Price for each Loan) and, with respect to any Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan, the amount to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with the acquisition of such Loan(s)
pursuant to Section 2.9(e) and (d) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable. If any Funding
Notice is received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) or on a day that is not a Business Day, such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent at 9:00 a.m. (New York City Time) on the next
Business Day. 

  
 50 

 For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower delivers a Funding Notice specifying a proposed
Funding Date that would occur less than one (1) Business Day after the date such Funding Notice is received (or deemed received in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(ii)), such request for an Advance shall be treated as a request for a
Swingline Advance. 
 (d) On each Funding Date and on the date of each Reinvestment of Principal Collections pursuant to
Section 2.14(a)(i) or acquisition by the Borrower of Additional Loans in connection with a Substitution pursuant to Section 2.14(b), the Borrower will provide the applicable Borrower’s Notice
and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each updated as of such date, to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian) and Administrative Agent shall forward copies of the same to the Lenders promptly upon receipt thereof. 

(e) On the proposed Funding Date, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2 and upon satisfaction of
the applicable conditions set forth in Article III: 
 (i) with respect to each Advance (other than a Swingline
Advance), each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds, by no later than 12:00 noon (New York City Time), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the least of (A) the amount requested by the
Borrower for such Advance, (B) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (C) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Advance, could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without
causing the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Availability; and 
 (ii) with respect to each Swingline Advance, the
Swingline Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, an amount equal to the least of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Swingline Advance, (ii) the positive difference between (A) the Swingline
Commitment then in effect and (B) the aggregate outstanding Swingline Advances as of such date and (iii) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the proposed use of proceeds of such Swingline Advance, could be advanced to the
Borrower hereunder without causing the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Availability; provided that, no Swingline Advance will be permitted if the amount requested by the Borrower in respect of such Swingline Advance will cause the sum of
(x) the outstanding Swingline Advances as of such date, and (y) aggregate outstanding amount of Advances made by the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Lender (excluding the portion of such Swingline Advance attributable to the
Swingline Lender’s subsequent Advance in connection with the repayment of such Swingline Advance) to exceed the Commitment of the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Lender. 

(iii) upon receipt of the amounts described in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
fund such amounts by wire transfer to the account designated by Borrower in the applicable Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2. 

  
 51 

 (f) On each Funding Date, (which is not associated with a Swingline Advance), the obligation
of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Loan Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan Advance on or after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the earlier to occur of the Revolving Period End Date or the
Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in relation with a refunding of a Swingline Advance, such Lender’s payment obligation will be fulfilled in accordance with Section 2.19. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) the
Revolving Period End Date, if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Administrative Agent (x) may, in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default or (y) shall
in the case of the occurrence of the Revolving Period End Date, on behalf of the Borrower, request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of such request, the Lenders shall
fund such Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.2(f), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 3.2), except that no Lender shall make any Advance to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, a Borrowing Base Deficiency would result. 

(h) Advances to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Advances shall be made by the Lenders as provided in Section 2.19. 

Section 2.3 Principal Repayments; Reduction of the Facility Amount. 

(a) The Borrower shall be entitled at its option, at any time, to prepay the Advances Outstanding; provided that (i) the Borrower
shall give prior written notice of such repayment in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Administrative Agent by at least (A) 3:00 p.m. (New York City Time) one (1) Business Day in advance and
(ii) any repayment of Advances Outstanding (other than with respect to repayments of Advances Outstanding made by the Borrower to reduce a Borrowing Base Deficiency to zero) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof (other than any such partial repayment of Advances Outstanding which is funded (A) solely with proceeds from the repayment of a Revolving Loan or (B) solely with amounts otherwise distributable to the Borrower under
Section 2.7(a)(12), Section 2.7(b)(12) or Section 2.8(11)). In connection with any such repayment of Advances Outstanding, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
(with a copy to the Collateral Custodian) by 1:00 p.m. (New York City Time) (1) instructions to repay such Advances Outstanding and (2) funds sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding together with all accrued Interest, any Breakage Costs
and any Hedge Breakage Costs, but only to the extent such accrued Interest, Breakage Costs and/or Hedge Breakage Costs are requested with such repayment by the applicable Lender or Hedge Counterparty; provided that, the Advances Outstanding
will not be repaid unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.3(a) to the pro rata repayment of the Advances Outstanding, to the payment of accrued Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid and to the payment of any Breakage Costs and Hedge
Breakage Costs, provided, that no such repayment shall be given effect unless the Borrower had complied with the terms of any Hedging Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as a result of any
such repayment of 

  
 52 

 
the Advances Outstanding and Borrower has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs and any other payments owing to the Hedge Counterparty. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Period. Any Repayment Notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable. Upon receipt of any notice or instructions from the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 2.3(a), the Administrative Agent will provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto. 

(b) Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof, the Advances Outstanding shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date or on such
later date as is agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders. 
 (c) The
Borrower shall be entitled at its option, at any time (i) within the final twelve months of the Revolving Period but prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, to reduce in part the portion of the Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of
the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest and Breakage Costs and (ii) following the Revolving Period but prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, to terminate the Facility Amount in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Facility
Amount that exceeds the sum of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest and Breakage Costs; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give at least five (5) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which
will provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto) of such termination or reduction in the form of Exhibit A-2; and (ii) any partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an
amount equal to $5,000,000.00 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (other than any such partial reduction of the Facility Amount which is funded solely with proceeds from the repayment of a Revolving Loan) and the Facility
Amount shall not be reduced below $50,000,000.00. Any request for a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall be irrevocable. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.3(c). For the avoidance of doubt, following the Revolving Period, the Facility
Amount shall be deemed to equal the sum of Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest and Breakage Costs for purposes of this clause (c). 
 (d)
Any termination or reduction (whether in whole or in part) of the Facility Amount pursuant to clause (c) above, shall be accompanied by (i) repayment of all of the Advances made prior to such prepayment date and still outstanding, plus
(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on all such Advances to be prepaid on the applicable prepayment date, plus (iii) any unpaid fees or expenses required to be paid by Borrower under this Agreement and all other unpaid Obligations (other than
indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) in relation to such Obligations to be prepaid on the prepayment date.

 Section 2.4 Determination of Interest. 

The Administrative Agent shall determine the Interest (including unpaid Interest related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment
Date) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Investment Manager and the Collateral Custodian thereof on the third Business Day prior to the Reporting Date for such Payment Date. 

  
 53 

 Section 2.5 Notations on Notes. 

Each Lender is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Note with respect to such Lender, as applicable, a notation (which may
be computer generated) or to otherwise record in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each Advance under the Note made by the applicable Lender of (a) the date and principal amount thereof and (b) each payment and
repayment of principal thereof. Any such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the Advances Outstanding, as applicable, under each Note. The failure of any Lender to make any such notation on the schedule
attached to the applicable Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms set forth herein. 

Section 2.6 Reduction of Borrowing Base Deficiency. 

Any Borrowing Base Deficiency may be reduced to zero by the Borrower taking one or more of the following actions: 

(i) posting cash collateral in Dollars to the Principal Collection Account; 

(ii) repaying Advances Outstanding in accordance with Section 2.3(a); 

(iii) posting additional Eligible Loans as Collateral; provided that the amount by which the Borrowing Base Deficiency
shall be reduced pursuant to any such additional Eligible Loans shall be the Adjusted Borrowing Value of such Eligible Loans; or 

(iv) any transaction whereby Borrower agrees to sell, transfer or contribute Loans pledged as Collateral hereunder in an
aggregate amount equivalent to reduce such Borrowing Base Deficiency to zero; provided, that, (a) the Administrative Agent shall have consented, in writing, to such sale of Loans in its sole discretion; (b) Borrower shall deposit
100% of the cash proceeds thereof (net of reasonable transaction costs and expenses and Taxes, if any) to the Principal Collection Account; (c) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent with respect to such sale, a copy of the purchase
agreement, any additional information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, and a certificate from an officer of Borrower representing that (i) each of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in or pursuant to the Loan
Documents shall be accurate in all material respects before and after giving effect to such sale (except for those representations and warranties (x) made as of a specific date or (y) as are qualified by materiality, a Material Adverse
Effect or any similar qualifier, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects), (ii) Borrower is in compliance with all covenants, agreements and obligations under the Loan Documents, and (iii) no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would exist after giving effect to the requested sale on such date, (d) all Loans selected to be sold by Borrower from all other similar Loans originated or owned by the Borrower shall, at all
times, be selected with no intention to select Loans, the sale of which would be more adverse to Administrative Agent or Lenders than the sale of those similar Loans.

distributed to the Borrower or any nominee thereof, which amounts may be used by the Borrower to make Restricted Payments, provided, that Borrower shall first reimburse the Investment Manager for any unreimbursed amounts paid by the Investment
Manager on the Borrower’s behalf pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent not otherwise reimbursed hereunder. 
 Section 2.8

 59 

 (10) to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Administrative

amounts accrued and unpaid under the Fee Letter, any Increased Costs, Taxes, indemnities and fees or expenses of counsel, but other than the principal of Advances Outstanding, then due under this Agreement; 

(11) any remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Borrower or any nominee thereof, which amounts may be used by the
Borrower to make Restricted Payments, provided, that Borrower shall first reimburse the Investment Manager for any unreimbursed amounts paid by the Investment Manager on the Borrower’s behalf pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent not
otherwise reimbursed hereunder. 
 Section 2.9 Collections and Allocations. 

(a) Collections. The Investment Manager shall promptly identify any Collections received as being on account of Interest Collections or
Principal Collections and shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received directly by it to the appropriate Account within two (2) Business Days after such Collections are received in accordance with
Section 5.1(f). Upon the transfer of Collections to the relevant Account, the Custodian shall segregate Principal Collections and Interest Collections and transfer the same in accordance with
Section 5.1(f). On each Reporting Date, the Investment Manager shall further include a statement in the Reporting Date Report delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(q) as to the amount and type (whether
Principal Collections, Interest Collections or other Collections) of all Collections received since the prior Reporting Date, all Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit as of such Reporting Date and a detailed aging of each Loan.

 (b) Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Investment Manager may direct Collateral
Custodian to withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Investment Manager has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a report setting forth
the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such Excluded Amounts may be paid to Related Fund as Restricted Payments. 

(c) Initial Deposits. On the Funding Date with respect to any Loan or Additional Loan, the Investment Manager shall deposit into the
Collection Account all Collections, if any, received on or before such Funding Date in respect of Loans being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date. 

  
 60 

 (d) Investment of Funds. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all such amounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Investment Manager on each Payment Date (or pursuant to standing instructions provided by the Investment
Manager); provided that, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account, all such amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative
Agent (which may be standing instructions). All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the applicable Collection Account and shall be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 (as applicable). 
 (e) Unfunded Exposure Account.

 (i) The Borrower shall not acquire any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, unless, in each case, immediately after giving
effect to such acquisition or issuance, the Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the Required Funding Amount with respect to such Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, as applicable, into the Unfunded Exposure Account. Subject to the
satisfaction of the applicable Withdrawal Conditions, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn by the Borrower (x) to fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Revolving Loan or Delayed Draw Loan or
(y) to make a deposit into the Principal Collections Account. Any such withdrawal will be subject to the following conditions (the “Withdrawal Conditions”): 

(1) with respect to any such withdrawal made for the purpose set forth in clause (x) that are required to be funded by
the Borrower, after giving effect to such withdrawal, no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists; and 
 (2) with respect to any
such withdrawal made for the purpose set forth in clause (x) or (y), after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is equal to or greater than the aggregate Required Funding Amount with
respect to all Loans included in the Collateral. 
 (ii) Any draw request made by an Obligor under a Revolving Loan or
Delayed Draw Loan, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Borrower to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) along with an instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw
the applicable amount from the Unfunded Exposure Account and a certification that the conditions to fund such draw are satisfied, and the Collateral Custodian shall fund such draw request in accordance with such instructions from the Borrower. 

(iii) If the Borrower shall receive any Principal Collections from an Obligor with respect to a Revolving Loan and, as of the
date of such receipt (and after taking into account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the aggregate Required Funding Amount with respect to all Loans included in the Collateral (the amount
of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded Exposure Shortfall”), the Collateral Custodian shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the lesser of (a) the
aggregate amount of such Principal Collections and (b) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall as directed by the Borrower (or Investment Manager on its behalf). 

  
 61 

 (f) Unfunded Exposure Account. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed
by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract (including by the Underlying Instrument) or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a
collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor. 

Section 2.10 Payments, Computations, Etc. 

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Investment Manager to the
Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available
funds and any amount not received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Borrower or the Investment Manager, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts
not paid or deposited when due hereunder at the Interest Rate applicable during an Event of Default, payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest
shall be for the account of the applicable Secured Party. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based
on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be
stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable
hereunder, as the case may be. To the extent that Available Funds are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.12, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and
owing and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.10(a) until repaid in full. 
 (c) If any Advance
requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of the Borrower’s actions or failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify
the applicable Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Lender, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by the applicable Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. 
 (d) If at any time after the Closing Date, the Advances outstanding hereunder
are not allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, the Lenders agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the Advances outstanding between themselves so that each Lender is then holding its relevant
Pro Rata Share of Advances 

  
 62 

 
Outstanding based on their Commitments at such time (such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such further instruments
and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith), with all subsequent extensions of credit under this Agreement to be made in accordance with the respective Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders from time
to time party to this Agreement as provided herein. 
 (e) If the Administrative Agent disagrees with the computation of any amounts to be
paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Investment Manager under Section 2.7 or Section 2.8 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, or upon its respective instructions, it shall so notify the Borrower, the
Investment Manager and the Collateral Custodian in writing and in reasonable detail to identify the specific disagreement. If such disagreement cannot be resolved within two (2) Business Days, the determination of the Administrative Agent as to such
amounts shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest error. In the event the Collateral Custodian or the Account Bank receives instructions from the Investment Manager or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions
received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Account Bank, as applicable, shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.11 Fees. 

(a) The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Custodian Fee in accordance with Sections 2.7(a)(1),
2.7(b)(1) and 2.8(1), as applicable. 
 Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality. 

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by an Indemnified Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall
(a) subject an Indemnified Party to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof with respect to its interest in the Collateral, or
any right or obligation to make Advances hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified
Party or (c) impose any other condition affecting the ownership interest in the Collateral conveyed to the Secured Parties hereunder or any Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the result of which
is to increase the cost to any Indemnified Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on the Payment Date following demand by such
Indemnified Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for
such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered. 

  
 63 

 (b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any
law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Indemnified Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not
having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Indemnified Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Indemnified Party
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Indemnified Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Indemnified Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, on the Payment Date following demand by such Indemnified Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a
statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such reduction; provided that notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.12(b) to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and
(y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities,
in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in law” for the purposes of clause (i) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. If the issuance of any amendment or supplement to
Interpretation No. 46 or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards, including GAAP, or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or
interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Related Fund, the Borrower or any Secured Party with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or shall
otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return on capital or other loss, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Indemnified Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.12.

 (c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this
Section 2.12, any Indemnified Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Indemnified Party in connection with this
Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within twenty-two (22) days after demand by such Indemnified Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Indemnified Party such additional
amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amounts payable or paid by it. 
 (d) In determining any
amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Indemnified Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit
to the Investment Manager a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 64 

 (e) Failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Indemnified Party notifies the Borrower of
such Indemnified Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six (6) month period shall be extended to include the period of
such retroactive effect. 
 (f) Each Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Borrower may reasonably
request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to take
any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender. In no event will Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 which relates to any other
entities to which any Lender provides financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Lender seek reimbursement or compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12 or
Section 2.13 unless it is charging, in its capacity as lender thereto, similar amounts to all other special purpose entity borrowers that intend to acquire corporate credit assets in similar corporate credit financing
transactions. 
 (g) The payment of amounts under this Section 2.12 shall be on an
after-Tax basis. 
 Section 2.13 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which the
Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties,
interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by
law. If any Withholding Agent shall be required under any applicable requirement of law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to any
Secured Party (including for purposes of Section 2.12 and this Section 2.13, any assignee, successor, or participant), (i) then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make all such deductions and
withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any requirement of law, and
(iii) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Withholding Agent has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable
under this Section 2.13(a)) such Secured Party receives on the date on which the related payment is due an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than (A) Taxes that are imposed on a Secured Party’s overall net
income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof and branch profits taxes) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Secured Party is organized or, in the case of a Lender, of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision
thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed solely as a result of such Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its 

  
 65 

 
obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as
Non-Excluded Taxes), (B) Taxes imposed under FATCA and (C) in the case of a Secured Party that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, any U.S.
federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such person at the time such person becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such person’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a
change in law) to comply with Section 2.13(e), except to the extent that such person (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts
from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 2.13(a). 
 (b) In addition, Borrower
hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 

(c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Secured Party for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13(c) imposed on or paid by such Secured
Party or any direct or indirect owner of any Secured Party and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Borrower provided for in this
Section 2.13(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted.
Amounts payable by the Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.13(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the applicable Secured Party makes written demand therefor;
provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make a payment pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) in respect of penalties, additions to Tax, interest and expenses attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, if (i) such penalties, additions to Tax, interest and reasonable expenses are attributable to the failure of the Secured Party to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority amounts received by it from the Borrower in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such amount from the Borrower or (ii) such penalties, additions to Tax, interest and reasonable expenses are
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party. 
 (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any
payment of Taxes, Borrower (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Borrower) shall furnish to the applicable Secured Party for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Secured Party. 
 (e) For purposes of this Section 2.13(e),
the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Secured Party (including any assignee, successor or participant) shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to Borrower the following properly completed and duly executed documents: 

  
 66 

 (i) in the case of a Secured Party that is an individual, (x) a
complete and executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “Section 2.13 Certificate”) or
(y) a complete and executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or 

(ii) in the case of a Secured Party that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District
of Columbia, a complete and executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or 

(iii) in the case of a Secured Party that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or
the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms
thereto) and a Section 2.13 Certificate; or 
 (iv) in the case of a Secured Party that (A) is not the beneficial
owner, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto)
(including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 2.13 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this
Section 2.13(e) if such beneficial owner were a Secured Party, provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Secured Party is determined
to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (iv) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all
such determinations under this clause (iv) to be made in the sole discretion of Borrower, provided, however, that the Secured Party shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable. 

Each Secured Party 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 in writing of its legal inability to do so. If the Secured Party provides a form pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above and the form provided by the
Secured Party at the time such Secured Party first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding
tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes
unless and until such Secured Party provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on
the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, the Secured Party transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 2.13, then the Secured Party assignee,
successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that the Secured Party transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Secured Party assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes. 

  
 67 

 (f) For any period with respect to which the applicable Secured Party has failed to provide
Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 2.13 (other than if such failure is due to a change in any requirement of law, or in the interpretation or
application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided), such Secured Party shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c)
of this Section 2.13 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Secured Party become
subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Borrower shall take such steps as such Secured Party shall reasonably request, to
assist such Secured Party in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes. 
 (g) Without prejudice to the
survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Nothing contained in Section 2.12 or this Section 2.13 shall require any Secured Party to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or
proprietary. 
 (h) If a payment made to a Lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents would be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, 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 Administrative Agent or the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Borrower to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional documentation (i) to
the extent documentation previously provided has become inaccurate or invalid or has otherwise ceased to be effective or (ii) as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (i) If any Secured Party determines, in its
good faith judgment, that it has received or realized a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.13 or any reduction of its Tax liabilities or otherwise recovered any amount that is attributable to any deduction or withholding or payment of Taxes with respect to which the Borrower has paid any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Secured
Party, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Secured Party, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, 

  
 68 

 
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Secured Party in the event such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require such Secured Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

Section 2.14 Reinvestment; Discretionary Sales, Substitutions and Repurchases of Loans. 

(a) Reinvestment. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Custodian, prior to the Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower may withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account for the following purposes: 

(i) to reinvest such funds in Additional Loans to be pledged hereunder (a “Reinvestment”), so long as
(1) all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied and (2) each Additional Loan acquired by the Borrower in connection with such reinvestment shall be an Eligible Loan; or 

(ii) to make payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of
Section 2.3. 
 Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 2.14(a) (as certified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian), the Collateral Custodian will release funds from the Principal Collection Account to the Borrower in an amount not to

Event of Default shall have occurred; (ii) notwithstanding anything set forth below in Section 2.14, immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale, (a) there shall not exist a Borrowing Base
Deficiency (provided that (1) in connection with a Term Securitization, such requirement shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to the contemplated Discretionary Sale immediately prior to the pricing of such Term Securitization, and (2)

following such pricing date). 
 (d) Repurchase or Substitution of Warranty Loans. Not later than five (5) Business Days
following the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Borrower or the Investment Manager that any Loan constitutes a Warranty Loan or (ii) receipt by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, the Borrower shall either:

 (i) make a deposit to the Collection Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the

Counterparty for any termination of one or more Hedge Transactions) and (C) costs and damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender in connection with any violation by such Loan of any Applicable Law (a notification regarding
the amount of such expenses or fees to be provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine whether the amount so deposited is sufficient to satisfy the foregoing
requirements; or 
 (ii) substitute for such Warranty Loan a substitute Eligible Loan, provided that all requirements
with respect to Substitutions set forth in this Section 2.14 are satisfied. 
 Upon receipt of written
certification from the Borrower certifying to the confirmation of the deposit of the amounts set forth in Section 2.14(d)(i) into the Collection Account or the delivery by the Borrower of a substitute Eligible Loan for each
Warranty Loan (the date of such confirmation or delivery, the “Release Date”), such Warranty Loan and related Underlying Assets shall be removed from the Collateral and, as applicable, the substitute Eligible Loan and related
Underlying Assets shall be included in the Collateral. On the Release Date of each Warranty Loan, the Collateral Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to release to the Borrower,
without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest and any Lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under the Warranty Loan and any related Underlying Assets and all future
monies due or to become due with respect thereto.

substitution, except to the extent any such representation or warranty relates to an earlier date; 
 (v) any repayment of
Advances Outstanding in connection with any sale or substitution of Loans hereunder shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.3; 

(vi) as certified in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Discretionary Sale or sale in connection with a
Substitution shall be made by the Investment Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, to an unaffiliated third party purchaser in a transaction (1) reflecting arms-length market terms and (2) in which the Borrower makes no representations,
warranties or covenants and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party to such sale (other than that the Borrower has good title thereto, free and clear of all Liens and has the right to sell the related Loan); provided
that the Borrower may make a Discretionary Sale or sale in connection with a Substitution to an Affiliate of the Borrower with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that
the price received by the Borrower in connection with a Discretionary Sale to the Related Fund (other than in connection with a Term Securitization or a Discretionary Sale to another fund or entity managed by the Investment Manager or an Affiliate

such Loan is not a Defaulted Loan, or (B) an amount not less than the fair market value thereof, if such Loan is a Defaulted Loan; 

  
 71 

 (vii) (a) with respect to any Discretionary Sale of an Eligible Loan
(other than any Discretionary Sale of an Eligible Loan in connection with a Term Securitization) at a cash value that is less than the par value of such Eligible Loan minus the amount of any closing fee for such Eligible Loan that is not retained by
the Borrower, the written consent of the Administrative Agent shall have been obtained, provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, no such consent shall be required with respect to the
Discretionary Sale of any Eligible Loan for which (A) the entire principal amount thereof is excluded from the Borrowing Base as a result of the application of the Excess Concentration Amount or (B) the Assigned Value is 0% and
(b) with respect to any Discretionary Sale of an Eligible Loan in connection with a Term Securitization or to another fund or entity managed by the Investment Manager or an Affiliate of the Investment Manager the purchase price received in cash

Borrower from the Related Fund or an Affiliate which are transferred by the Borrower to the Related Fund or an Affiliate thereof in connection with a Substitution, a Discretionary Sale (other than a Discretionary Sale in connection with a Term
Securitization) or the transfer to the Related Fund pursuant to a dividend shall not exceed in the aggregate (A) in the case of such Loans that are not Defaulted Loans, ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Loans
acquired from the Related Fund or an Affiliate and owned by the Borrower at any time since the Closing Date and (B) in the case of such Loans that are Defaulted Loans, ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Loans acquired from

 (g) Notices to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with
copies of any notices and, if requested by the Lenders, other materials received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14 in connection with any sale, substitution, or repurchase of Loans. The Borrower (or
Investment Manager, on its behalf) shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Custodian, on which it may conclusively rely, to the effect that all conditions precedent to such sale, substitution or repurchase of Loans, as the case
may be, have been satisfied. 
 Section 2.15 Assignment of the Sale Agreements. 

The Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s
right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Sale Agreement, any Third Party Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible
payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due
or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties its right to indemnification under
the Sale Agreement and any Third Party Sale Agreement. The Borrower confirms that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Sale Agreement, any Third
Party Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as
that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: 
 (i) That Defaulting Lender’s
right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.1. 

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit
account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or 

  
 73 

 
Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non- Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash
collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral),
that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of Advances Outstanding of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata
basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the 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. 

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or
requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, the Borrower may request such Lender provide an estimate of the costs
and expenses that would be incurred by such Lender in connection with designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, in each case, which designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future and
(ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such estimate, the Borrower may approve the proposed designation or assignment, in which case the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to effect the same. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such approved designation or assignment. 

  
 74 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender hereunder, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of a consent or waiver) to the definitions described in Section 12.1(g) which is approved by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.16), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (ii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
and 
 (iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. 

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. 
 Section 2.18
Increase of Commitment; Facility Amount. 
 (a) At any time during the Revolving Period, provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Commitment for any Lender may be increased in connection with a corresponding increase in the Facility Amount with the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender; provided that,
following such Commitment increase, the Facility Amount shall not exceed $250,000,000.00. Prior to the effectiveness of any such increase, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the applicable Lender a revised Note in an aggregate face amount
equal to the revised Commitment. The Borrower confirms that each Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Loans or any other factor, may elect not to increase its Commitment. Upon such increase,
Annex A hereto shall be deemed to be revised to reflect such increase in such Lender’s Commitment. 
 (b) The Borrower may, with the
written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons as Lenders. Each additional Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement and a Transferee Letter.

 Section 2.19 Refunding of Swingline Advances. 

  
 75 

 (a) Each Swingline Advance shall be refunded by the Lenders on the first Business Day
following the date of such Swingline Advance (each such date, a “Swingline Refund Date”). Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall thereafter be
reflected as Advances of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Pro Rata Share of Advances as required to repay Swingline Advances outstanding to the Swingline Lender no later than
12:00 noon on the applicable Swingline Refund Date. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender, within five (5) Business Days
of demand, the amount of such Swingline Advances to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Advances requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to
the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Shares. 
 (c) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Advances in accordance with the terms of this
Section 2.19 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Advances pursuant to this Section 2.19, a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding
relating to the Borrower, the Investment Manager or the Related Fund shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Advance would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Advance to be refunded
in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Advance. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the
Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s
participating interest in a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded). 

Section 2.20 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. 

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of
a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become
effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders, and the Borrower so long as
the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this
Section 2.20(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 

  
 76 

 (b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral
Custodian and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian) of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.20(d). Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.20, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made
in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.20. 

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any
time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on 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 administrator of such Benchmark or 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 not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, modify the definition of “Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at
or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned 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, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that
it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice (which it shall forward to the Collateral Custodian) of
the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, all Advances that bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be an Advance that bears interest at the Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor
for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. 

  
 77 

 (f) Conflict with Other Sections. In the event of a conflict between the terms of
this Section 2.20 and any other section of this Agreement, the terms of this Section 2.20 shall control.

to cause the Collateral Custodian to agree with the parties hereto that with respect to the Collateral Account, (A) the cash and other property (subject to Section 7.2(h) below with respect to any property other than investment property,
as defined in Section 9 102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (B) the jurisdiction governing the Account, all Cash and other Financial Assets credited to the Account and the securities intermediary’s
jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304(b) of the UCC) shall, in each case, be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in the Collateral Account be registered in the name
of, payable to the order of, or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Custodian. 

(g) Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities
intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian and the Document Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, of any Loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments, in
order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Document Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan
transferred to the Administrative Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any term hereof or elsewhere to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged that
(a) interests in Loans may be acquired and delivered by the Borrower to the Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time which are not evidenced by, or accompanied by delivery of, a “security” (as that term is defined in UCC Section 8-102) or an “instrument” (as that term is defined in Section 9- 102(a)(4a) of the UCC), and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Collateral Custodian of a facsimile copy of a
transfer document described in clause (a)(ii)(x) of the definition of “Required Loan Documents” (such document, a “Loan Assignment Agreement”) in favor of the Borrower as assignee, (b) any such Loan Assignment Agreement (and
the registration of the related Loans on the books and records of the applicable obligor or bank agent) shall be registered in the name of the Borrower, and (c) any duty on the part of the Collateral Custodian with respect to such Loan
(including in respect of any duty it might otherwise have to maintain a sufficient quantity of such Loan for purposes of UCC Section 8-504) shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the
Collateral Custodian in the physical custody of any such Loan Assignment Agreement (and any other related Required Loan Documents) that may be delivered to it. 

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

  
 117 

 Section 7.3 Merger or Consolidation. 

Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger, Division
Transaction or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian
under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession. 

Section 7.4 Collateral Custodian Compensation. 

As compensation for its collateral custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to a Collateral Custodian Fee
pursuant to the provision of Section 2.7(a)(1), Section 2.7(b)(1) or Section 2.8(1), as applicable. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive the Collateral
Custodian Fee shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 7.5 or (ii) the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 7.5 Collateral Custodian Removal. 

The Collateral Custodian may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent (or the Borrower with the Administrative
Agent’s consent in its sole discretion) by notice given in writing to the Collateral Custodian (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Custodian
Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder, and has received all Underlying Instruments held by
the previous Collateral Custodian. In the case of a resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian, if no successor shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor shall not have been delivered to the Collateral
Custodian within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. 

Section 7.6 Limitation on Liability. 

(a) The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion,
notice, letter, telegram, electronic communication or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively
on and shall be fully protected in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Investment Manager Termination Event, the Investment Manager
or (b) the verbal instructions of the Administrative Agent or, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Investment Manager Termination Event, the Investment Manager. 

  
 118 

 (b) The Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(c) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith,
or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct, bad faith or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties. Under no
circumstances will the Collateral Custodian be liable for indirect, punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages, such as loss of use, revenue or profit. 

(d) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value
(except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that might in its judgment be contrary to Applicable Law or involve any expense or liability
unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. For avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall have no obligation to prepare, file or maintain any UCC financing statements related to any Collateral. The
Collateral Custodian shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation (other than a statement, warranty or representation made by the Collateral Custodian) made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document (except to the extent prepared by the Collateral Custodian) delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions (except as the same are required to be performed or observed by the Collateral Custodian) set forth herein or therein or
the occurrence of any Default, or (iv) the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness (except the same relates to the Collateral Custodian) of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Collateral
or any other agreement, instrument or document. 
 (e) The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties
and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian. 

(f) The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. 

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing or overseeing the performance or observance of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any related documents on part of the Borrower or any other Person or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto, or any
parties to the Collateral. 

  
 119 

 (h) The Collateral Custodian may assume the genuineness of any such Required Loan Document
it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each Required Loan Document it may receive is what it purports to be. If an original “security” or
“instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any
Collateral to be held by the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Collateral Custodian, and the Collateral Custodian shall not be under any obligation
at any time to determine whether any such original security or instrument has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Collateral or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Collateral Custodian. Without prejudice to
the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall be without liability to the Borrower, Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent or any other Person for any damage or loss resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond
the Collateral Custodian’s reasonable control, including nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, the interruption, disruption or suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical,
communications or other technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or the like, fires, floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters, civil and military disturbance, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolution, acts of God, work
stoppages, strikes, national disasters of any kind, or other similar events or acts; errors by the Borrower, the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent (including any Responsible Officer of any thereof) in its instructions to the Collateral
Custodian; or changes in applicable law, regulation or orders. 
 (i) In the event that (i) the Borrower, Investment Manager, the
Administrative Agent, Lenders or Collateral Custodian shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Loan or Required Loan Document or (ii) a third party shall institute any court
proceeding by which any Required Loan Document shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other
parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Collateral Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Required Loan Documents
that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Collateral Custodian shall dispose of such
Required Loan Documents as directed by the Administrative Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses of the Collateral Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower. 

(j) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, in the absence of a continuing of an
Event of Default or the occurrence of the Termination Date, request instructions from the Investment Manager and during the existence of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of the Termination Date, request instructions from the
Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have
no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. 

  
 120 

 (k) Without limiting the generality of any terms of this section, the Collateral Custodian
shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent, any agent or the Borrower to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral
Custodian, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Custodian’s part of any of its duties
hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof. 

(l) The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Custodian. 
 (m) The Collateral Custodian may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties
hereunder, either directly or, by or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Custodian shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any non-Affiliated agent or
attorney appointed hereunder with due care by it. Neither the Collateral Custodian nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees will be liable to the Investment Manager, Borrower or any other Person, except by
reason of acts or omissions by the Collateral Custodian constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Collateral Custodian’s duties hereunder. The Collateral Custodian shall in no event have any
liability for the actions or omissions of the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent, or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by
inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent, or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused by the Collateral
Custodian’s own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. 
 (n) The parties
acknowledge that in accordance with the Customer Identification Program (CIP) requirements under the USA Patriot Act and its implementing regulations, the Collateral Custodian in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is
required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Collateral Custodian. The Borrowers hereby agree that it shall provide the Collateral
Custodian with such information as it may request including, but not limited to, each Borrower’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Collateral Custodian to identify and verify each
Borrower’s identity such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information. 

(o) It is understood and agreed that any foreign exchange transaction effected by the Collateral Custodian acting at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Investment Manager may be entered with U.S. Bank National Association or its affiliates acting as principal or otherwise through customary banking channels. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled at all
times to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to currency or foreign exchange transactions. Each of the party hereto acknowledges that the Collateral Custodian or any affiliates of the Collateral Custodian involved in any such
foreign 

  
 121 

 exchange transactions may make a margin or banking income from foreign exchange transactions entered into
pursuant to this section for which they shall not be required to account to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Investment Manager. All risk and expense incident to such conversion is the responsibility of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Investment Manager and the Collateral Custodian shall have (x) no responsibility for fluctuations in exchange rates affecting any collections or conversion thereof and (y) to the extent it complies with the instructions
provided by the respective party, no liability for any losses incurred or resulting from the rates obtained in such foreign exchange transactions. 

(p) The Collateral Custodian hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Lenders concerning and shall have no responsibility to
Lenders for the existence, priority or perfection of the Liens and security interests granted hereunder or under any loan document or in the value of any of the Collateral and shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the
performance of the Investment Manager or the Borrower and shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted by the Investment Manager (including any successor to the Investment Manager or any Replacement Servicer) or the Borrower. The
Collateral Custodian makes no representation as to the value, sufficiency or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of the Borrower to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document. Neither the Collateral Custodian nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or expenses arising out of the services performed under this Agreement other than damages or
expenses that result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of it or them or the failure to perform materially in accordance with this Agreement. 

(q) The Collateral Custodian shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the perfection of any Lien or for the filing, form, content or
renewal of any UCC financing statements, and such other documents or instruments, provided however that if instructed by the Lenders and at the expense of the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian shall arrange for the filing and continuation, of
financing statements or other filing or recording documents or instruments for the perfection of security interests in the Collateral; provided, that, the Collateral Custodian shall not be responsible for the preparation, form, content, sufficiency
or adequacy of any such financing statements all of which shall be provided in writing to the Collateral Custodian by the Lenders including the jurisdictions and filing offices where the Collateral Custodian is required to file such financing
statements. 
 (r) Any permissive grant of power to the Collateral Custodian shall not be construed as a duty to act. 

(s) The Collateral Custodian shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of
Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark Replacement), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, identify or
designate any alternative reference rate index (including any Benchmark Replacement), or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, identify
or designate any Benchmark Replacement adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what administrative procedures or any Conforming Changes or other modifications to this

  
 122 

 Agreement or any other Transaction Document may be necessary or advisable in respect of the determination
and implementation of any alternative reference rate index (including any Benchmark Replacement), if any, in connection with any of the foregoing and, with respect to each Floating Rate Loan the Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibility or
liability to (w) monitor the status of Term SOFR or such other applicable index, reference rate or Benchmark Replacement, (x) determine whether a substitute index or reference rate should or could be selected, (y) determine the
selection of any such substitute reference rate and (z) exercise any right related to the foregoing on behalf of the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person. 

(t) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in
this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark Replacement) and absence of a designated Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other
party, including without limitation the Administrative Agent, the Investment Manager or the Borrower, by the terms of the Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. 

Section 7.7 Resignation of the Collateral Custodian. 

The Collateral Custodian shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon (a) ninety (90) days written
notice to the Borrower, Investment Manager, Administrative Agent and each Lender, or (b) the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and
(ii) there is no reasonable action that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Collateral Custodian shall be
evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Collateral Custodian hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral Custodian Fee shall be payable to the Collateral Custodian so resigning until such time as a successor Collateral Custodian shall have been appointed. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 SECURITY
INTEREST 
 Section 8.1 Grant of Security Interest. 

(a) This Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the Advances effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Lenders to the
Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the
Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all Accounts, General Intangibles, Instruments and Investment Property and any and all other property of any
type or nature owned by it (the “Collateral”), including but not limited to: 

  
 123 

 (i) all Loans, Permitted Investments and Equity Securities, all payments
thereon or with respect thereto and all contracts to purchase, commitment letters, confirmations and due bills relating to any Loans, Permitted Investments or Equity Securities; 

(ii) the Accounts and all Cash and Financial Assets credited thereto and all income from the investment of funds therein; 

(iii) any Hedging Agreement and any payment from time to time due thereunder; 

(iv) all Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party; 

(v) all funds delivered to the Collateral Custodian (directly or through a bailee); 

(vi) all Collections, rights in Underlying Assets, and Underlying Instruments, Insurance Policies, all Required Loan Documents
and related records and assets; and 
 (vii) all accounts, accessions, profits, income benefits, proceeds, substitutions and
replacements, whether voluntary or involuntary, of and to any of the property of the Borrower described in the preceding clauses; 
 in each case, whether
now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of
the Obligations of the Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all
Obligations. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any
Applicable Law not in effect as of the date hereof or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable Law provided, that (x) immediately at such time as the prohibition shall no longer be
applicable, such security interest shall attach immediately to such assets and (y) the Collateral includes any Proceeds of any of such assets. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely
to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Each of the Administrative Agent
and each Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any
obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon
at the rate per annum applicable to Advances, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby. 

  
 124 

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

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

Section 8.2 Release of Lien on Collateral. 

At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related
Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) such Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale, Substitution or a sale of a Warranty Loan pursuant to Section 2.14 or (iii) this Agreement terminates in
accordance with Section 12.6, the interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral shall be automatically released, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, to the extent requested by the
Investment Manager, shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, provide evidence of the release of its interest in such Collateral. In connection with any sale of such Collateral, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will
after the deposit by the Investment Manager of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Investment Manager any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any
other releases and instruments as the Investment Manager may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral; provided that, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no
representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment. Nothing in this section shall diminish the Collateral Custodian’s obligations pursuant to
Section 6.2(j) with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale. 

  
 125 

 Section 8.3 Remedies. 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall have, with respect to the Collateral granted
pursuant to Section 8.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies set forth in
Section 9.2. 
 Section 8.4 Waiver of Certain Laws. 

Each of the Borrower and the Investment Manager agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming
through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay
the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the
Borrower and the Investment Manager, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the
properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an
entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine. 
 Section 8.5 Power of Attorney. 

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

  
 126

 Section 9.2 Remedies. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or, at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to
the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian, it being agreed that the failure to give such notice shall not impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder), declare (i) the Termination Date to have occurred and
the Notes and all other 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) or (ii) the Revolving Period End Date to have occurred;
provided that in the case of any event involving the Borrower described in Section 9.1(e), the Notes and all other 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 Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of any such event. The Administrative Agent shall forward a copy of any notice delivered to
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.2(a) to the Lenders. 
 (b) On and after the declaration or occurrence of
the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each
applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative. The Borrower and the Investment Manager hereby agree that they will, at the Borrower’s expense and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, forthwith,
(i) assemble all or any part of the Loans as directed by the Administrative Agent and make the same available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent and (ii) without notice except as specified
below, sell the Loans or any part thereof upon such terms, in such lots, to such buyers, and according to such other instructions as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, the Administrative Agent will not cause or direct the sale of any Loans or other Collateral on and after the declaration or occurrence of the Termination Date unless either (i) the Administrative Agent determines that
the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the Obligations (or in the case of a sale of
less than all of the Collateral, an amount sufficient to discharge the amount of the Obligations attributable to such portion of the Collateral); or (ii) the Required Lenders direct such sale and liquidation. The Borrower agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ notice to the Borrower of any sale hereunder shall constitute reasonable notification. All cash Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Loans (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and to be applied pursuant to
Section 2.8. The occurrence of a Termination Date as defined in clauses (a) through (c), inclusive, of the definition of “Termination Date” shall constitute a Termination Date for the purposes of this
Section 9.2. 

  
 129 

 (c) If the Administrative Agent elects, subject to clause (b) above, to sell the
Collateral in whole, but not in part, at a public or private sale, the Borrower (or its designee) may exercise its right of first refusal to repurchase the Collateral, in whole but not in part, prior to such sale at an aggregate purchase price to be
paid in full in cash on the date of such proposed sale that is not less than the amount of the Obligations as of the date of such proposed sale. The Borrower’s right of first refusal shall terminate not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City Time)
on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice of the Administrative Agent’s election to sell such Collateral.

then, the recipient shall repay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified
Amounts (except to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party) relating to or resulting from:

interest in the Collateral, together with all Collections, free and clear of any Lien whether existing at the time of any Advance or at any time thereafter; 

(v) the failure to maintain, as of the close of business on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date, an amount of
Advances Outstanding that is less than or equal to the Availability on such Business Day; 
 (vi) the failure to file, or any
delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Law with respect to any Collateral, whether at the time of any Advance or at
any subsequent time; 
 (vii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor)
of the Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, a defense based on the Collateral not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or
any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to such Collateral or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services; 

(viii) any failure of any Loan Party to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or any failure by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof to perform its respective duties under any Collateral; 

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

(x) any action taken by the Borrower or the Investment Manager in the enforcement or collection of any Collateral; 

(xi) any products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of
whatever sort arising out of or in connection with the Underlying Assets or services that are the subject of any Collateral; 

(xii) the failure by the Borrower to pay when due any Taxes for which the Borrower is liable, including without limitation,
sales, excise or personal property taxes payable in connection with the Collateral; 

  
 131 

 (xiii) any repayment by the Administrative Agent or another Secured Party of
any amount previously distributed in repayment of Advances Outstanding or payment of Interest or any other amount due hereunder or under any Hedging Agreement, in each case, which amount the Administrative Agent or another Secured Party believes in
good faith is required to be repaid; 
 (xiv) except with respect to funds held in the Collection Account, the commingling of
Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds; 
 (xv) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to
this Agreement or the use of proceeds of Advances or the security interest in the Collateral; 
 (xvi) any failure by the
Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the Related Fund or to the applicable third party transferor, in consideration for the transfer by the Related Fund or such third party to the Borrower of any item of Collateral or any attempt by any
Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer under any statutory provision or common law or equitable action, including, without limitation, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; 

(xvii) the use of the proceeds of any Advance in a manner other than as provided in this Agreement, the Sale Agreement or any
Third Party Sale Agreement; 
 (xviii) the failure of the Borrower, the Related Fund or any of their respective agents or

Indemnified Party on the Payment Date following such Person’s demand therefor, accompanied by a reasonably detailed description in writing of the related damage, loss, claim, liability and related costs and expenses. 

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

  
 132 

 (d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.1 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Investment Manager, the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian or the Account Bank and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 10.2 Indemnities by the Investment Manager. 

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Investment Manager hereby agrees to
indemnify the Lenders, forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (except to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party) awarded against or incurred by any such
Indemnified Party by reason of the Investment Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. 
 (b) Any
amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be paid by the Investment Manager to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days following such Person’s demand therefor. 

(c) The Investment Manager shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes
recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loans. 
 (d) The obligations of the Investment Manager under this
Section 10.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian, the Account Bank and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not be payable from the Collateral. 

Section 10.3 After-Tax Basis. 

Indemnification under Section 10.1, Section 10.2, Section 2.12,
Section 2.13, and Section 12.9 shall be on an after-Tax basis. 

ARTICLE XI 
 THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 11.1 Appointment. 

Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the
applicable UCC and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees (including, without limitation, the Collateral Custodian) to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties. Each
Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof, together 

  
 133 

 with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality,
of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or
that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or
hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other
actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the
reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the
Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such
Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Transaction Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of
acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the
Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XI for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any
portion thereof) granted under the Transaction Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XI and
Articles X and XII (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Transaction Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

Section 11.2 Standard of Care; Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

  
 134 

 (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law; 

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 

(iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party, any Loan Party or any other Person, or have any liability for, any
incorrect or inaccurate determination of Term SOFR or the Base Rate for any purpose under any Loan Document; and 
 (v) does
not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate,
Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition
or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term
SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or
other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any
relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR,
Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or
indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by
any such information source or service. 

  
 135 

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary) or (ii) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing
such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Investment Manager, the Borrower or a Lender. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of
any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article
III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.3 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. 

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as
Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Related Fund), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this
Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Loan Party or to
inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction
Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) may rely upon and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice
(including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties, or upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume
that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. 

  
 136 

 Section 11.4 Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative
Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. 

Section 11.5 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Investment Manager), ratably in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that,
the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The payment of amounts under this Section 11.5 shall be on an after-Tax basis. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative
Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or
the Investment Manager. 
 Section 11.6 Successor Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Required Lenders acting jointly. The Required Lenders (other than Capital One, National
Association or any of its Affiliates if Capital One, National Association is the Administrative Agent at such time) may, subject to the prior written consent of the Investment Manager and the Borrower provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at any time, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, remove the Administrative Agent if at such time the aggregate
amount of Administrative Agent’s Commitment (during the Revolving Period) or Advances Outstanding (following the Revolving Period) is less than 25% of the Facility Amount. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders acting
jointly 

  
 137 

 shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Each of the Borrower and each Lender agree that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay
its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative
Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 

Section 11.7 Delegation of Duties. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.8 Payments by the Administrative Agent. 

Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their most
recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon (New York City Time) on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay
such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall pay amounts owing to each Lender in accordance with the written
instructions delivered by each such Lender to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 138 

 Section 11.9 Collateral Matters. 

Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Transaction Document (i) upon the termination of the Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with
Section 12.1. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 11.9. In each case as specified in this
Section 11.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Transaction Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this
Section 11.9.

Except as provided in this Section 12.1, no amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: 

(a) increase the Commitment of any Lender or the amount of Advances of any Lender, in any case, without the written consent of such Lender;

 (b) waive, extend or postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document for any payment or mandatory prepayment
of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any scheduled or mandatory reduction of the Commitments hereunder or under any other Transaction Document without the written consent of each Lender;
provided that if any Lender declines or is deemed to have denied a request to extend the Scheduled Revolving Period End Date and/or Facility Maturity Date that other Lenders agree to, it agrees, at the request of the Borrower, to
(x) sell its Commitment to one or more extending Lender upon request of each such extending Lender (and, if multiple Lenders make any such request, the declining Lender’s Commitment will be allocated pro rata (based on their existing
Commitments) to each such extending Lender), (y) sell its Commitment pursuant to the assignment provisions set forth in Section 12.16 or (z) have its Commitment terminated as follows: to the extent the Commitment of any non-extending Lender is not sold as described in clause (x) or (y) as of the last day of the Revolving Period (without giving effect to any extension thereof), the Facility Amount shall be permanently reduced
in part with respect to the Commitment of such non-extending Lender on such day, and the Borrower shall repay in full all Advances Outstanding 

  
 139 

 made by such non-extending Lender and other Obligations owing to
such Lender under this Agreement on such last day of the Revolving Period (without giving effect to any extension thereof). For the avoidance of doubt nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall obligate the Borrower to (i) extend the
Scheduled Revolving Period End Date and/or Facility Maturity Date or (ii) make the required request unless it agrees to extend the Scheduled Revolving Period End Date and/or Facility Maturity Date without the consent of all Lenders;

 (e) change any provision of this Section or reduce the percentages specified in
the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (f) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of such Loan Party’s rights
and obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party (except as expressly permitted hereunder) or release any Loan Party from any obligations, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(g) make any modification to the definition of (i) “Borrowing Base”, “Availability”, “Advance Rate”,
“Adjusted Borrowing Value” or “Excess Concentration Amount”, in each case, which would have an adverse effect on the calculation of the Borrowing Base or the Availability or (ii) “Eligible Loan” in a manner that would
reduce or make less restrictive the requirements for a Loan to be an Eligible Loan, in either case without the written consent of each Lender; 

(h) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Transaction Document (other than as specifically permitted or
contemplated in this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document) without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (i) consent to the
assignment of the Advances or Commitments to any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(j) provide for any additional duties or obligations to be performed by the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian or the Account Bank or
modify the rights of the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian or the Account Bank hereunder in any manner materially adverse to Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian or the Account Bank without the written consent of the Collateral
Custodian, the Document Custodian or the Account Bank, as applicable; or 
 (k) [Reserved]; 

  
 140 

 (l) provide for any additional duties or obligations to be performed by the Investment
Manager or modify the rights of the Investment Manager hereunder in any manner materially adverse to Investment Manager without the written consent of the Investment Manager; or 

(m) provide for any additional duties or obligations to be performed by the Hedge Counterparty or modify the rights of the Hedge Counterparty
hereunder in any manner materially adverse to the Hedge Counterparty without the written consent of the Hedge Counterparty; provided further, that (i) any amendment of the Agreement that is solely for the purpose of adding a Lender or
waiving, extending or postponing any fee to the Administrative Agent may be effected without the written consent of the Borrower or any Lender, (ii) no such amendment, waiver or modification materially adversely affecting the rights or
obligations of the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian or the Account Bank shall be effective without the written agreement of such Person, (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (iv) any amendment of the Agreement that a Lender is advised by its legal or financial advisors to be necessary or desirable
in order to avoid the consolidation of the Borrower with such Lender for accounting purposes may be effected without the written consent of the Borrower or any other Lender and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to
amend any provision of the Transaction Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Transaction Document) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly
identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver
or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

by electronic communication (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that, the foregoing shall not apply to notices to
any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion,
agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that, approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the
Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended
recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that, if such notice or other communication is not sent
during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or
intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication
is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make Syndicate Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Syndicate Communications on the Platform. The Platform is provided by the Administrative Agent “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties
(defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Syndicate Communications or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Syndicate Communications. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is
made by any Agent Party in connection with the Syndicate Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lenders or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or any Agent Party’s transmission or posting of Obligor materials through
the Platform or via email, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders
(each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of
the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Person’s securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Syndicate Communications that are to be made available to Public
Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Syndicate Communications
“PUBLIC”, the Borrower shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Syndicate Communications as not containing any material non-public information with respect
to 

  
 142 

 the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal
and state securities laws; (iii) all Syndicate Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through the Platform; and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Syndicate Communications that
are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform designated as “Non-Public Information”. 

(e) Each of U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association and U.S. Bank National Association in each of their respective capacities under the
Transaction Documents agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any document executed in connection herewith or therewith, sent by unsecured email, facsimile
transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association and U.S. Bank National Association an incumbency
certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions as such incumbency certificate may be supplemented from time to time. If any person elects to give U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association or U.S. Bank National
Association email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and U.S. Bank Trust Company National Association or U.S. Bank National Association, as applicable, in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions,
U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association’s or U.S. Bank National Association’s, as applicable, reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association and U.S. Bank
National Association shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association’s or U.S. Bank National Association’s, as applicable, reliance upon and compliance
with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods
of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection
in light of its particular needs and circumstances. 
 Section 12.3 Ratable Payments. 

If any Secured Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Obligations owing to such
Secured Party (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.1) 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 Obligations held by the other Secured Parties so that after such purchase each Secured Party will hold its ratable proportion of the 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. 

  
 143 

 Section 12.4 No Waiver; Remedies. 

No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian or a Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. 
 Section 12.5 Binding Effect; Benefit of
Agreement.

portion thereof) or any Note (or any portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, as applicable, (i) no transfer of any Advance or Commitment (or any portion thereof) or of any Note (or any portion thereof) shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such laws, and is made only to either an “accredited investor” as
defined in paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs or to a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule
144A under the Securities Act which in each case is a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the 1940 Act, (ii) no such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall be to an Ineligible Assignee, (iii) such Person
shall have a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A3” or better by Moody’s (or an equivalent rating by a rating agency rating such long term debt obligations of such Person, unless otherwise
agreed to by Administrative Agent), (iv) in the case of an assignment of any Advance or Commitment (or any portion thereof) or of any Note (or of any portion thereof) the assignee executes and delivers to the Investment Manager, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a fully executed Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto and a transferee letter substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (a “Transferee Letter”), (v) the consent of
the Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment, and (vi) so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the consent of the Investment Manager and 

  
 150 

 the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment,
other than an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to such Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books
and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties. The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under the
Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Capital One, National Association shall not need prior consent of the
Borrower or any other party hereto to consolidate with or merge into any Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties and assets, including, without limitation, any Advance, any Commitment or any Note (or any portion thereof), to
any Person, or (ii) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender shall have been deemed to no longer be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(b), then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to cause such Person to assign its entire interest in the Advances and Commitments and this Agreement to a transferee selected by the Administrative Agent, in an assignment which satisfies the conditions set forth in the first sentence of
this Section 12.16(a). Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (1)
no assignments shall be made to (x) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (y) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of
the foregoing Persons described in this clause (y); 
 (2) no assignments shall be made to a natural person; 

(3) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the assignment and assumption agreement
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (4) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations in respect of one class of Commitments or Loans; 
 (5) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; and 

  
 151 

 (6) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information
about the Borrower and its affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including
Federal and state securities laws. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at
one of its lending offices, a copy of each transfer pursuant to Section 12.16(a) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of
the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Transfer by a Lender of its rights hereunder or under any Note may be effected only by the recording by the Administrative Agent of
the identity of the transferee in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(c) The Collateral Custodian may, at any time, assign all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder as Collateral Custodian;
provided, however, that, except as set forth herein, including Section 7.3 hereof, or unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, any such assignee shall (i) be a bank or other financial
institution organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, (ii) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$200,000,000, (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by a United States federal or state banking authority, (v) have a rating of at least “Baa1” by Moody’s and “BBB+” by S&P, (vi) have an office within
the United States and (vii) be in the business of providing collateral custodian services consistent with those required pursuant to this Agreement; and provided, further, that such assignment shall not be effective unless (i),
prior to such assignment, Collateral Custodian shall have given ninety (90) days written notice to the Borrower, Investment Manager, Administrative Agent and each Lender describing such assignment and (ii) such assignee has assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian, as applicable, being assigned to it in writing.

DOCUMENT CUSTODIAN 

Section 14.1 Designation of Document Custodian. 

(a) Initial Document Custodian. The role of Document Custodian with respect to the Required Loan Documents shall be conducted by the
Person designated as Document Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 14.1. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Document Custodian to act as its
agent and hereby authorizes the Document Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Document Custodian by this Agreement. The Document Custodian hereby accepts
such agency appointment to act as Document Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Document Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof. 

(b) Successor Document Custodian. Upon the Document Custodian’s receipt of a Document Custodian Termination Notice from the
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) of the designation of a successor Document Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.5, the Document Custodian agrees that it will terminate
its activities as Document Custodian hereunder. 
 Section 14.2 Duties of Document Custodian. 

(a) Appointment. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby appoint U.S. Bank National Association to act as Document Custodian,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Document Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein. 

(b) Duties. From the Effective Date until its removal pursuant to Section 14.5, the Document Custodian shall
perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations: 
 (i) The Document Custodian shall take and retain custody
of the Required Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Loans” in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the Lien
thereon in favor of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents and the Loan Checklist (the “Review Period”), the Document Custodian
shall review the Required Loan Documents delivered to it to confirm that (A) if the files delivered per the following sentence indicate that any document must contain an original signature, each such document appears to bear the original
signature, or if the file indicates that such document may contain a copy of a signature, 

  
 153 

 that such copies appear to bear an original or a reproduction of such signature and (B) based on a
review of the applicable note, the related initial Loan balance when entered into or obtained by the Borrower, Loan identification number and Obligor name with respect to such Loan is referenced on the related Collateral Report and is not a
duplicate Loan (such items (A) through (B) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Document Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Required Loan Documents hereunder to
the Document Custodian, the Investment Manager shall provide to the Document Custodian an electronic file (in EXCEL or a comparable format acceptable to the Document Custodian) listing Loan Identification Number, Name of Obligor, and initial Loan
balance and the related Loan Checklist per file that contains a list of all Required Loan Documents and whether they require original signatures, the Loan identification number and the name of the Obligor and the initial Loan balance when entered
into or obtained by the Borrower with respect to each related Loan. After the Review Period, the Document Custodian shall execute and deliver to the Investment Manager and the Administrative Agent a certification (a “Document Custodian
Certificate”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, including an attached exception report (an “Exception Report”). In addition, if requested in writing in the form of Exhibit E by the
Investment Manager and approved by the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the Document Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Document Custodian shall return the Underlying Instruments for any Loan which fails to
satisfy a Review Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Document Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Required Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Document Custodian’s
obligation to review the Required Loan Documents shall be limited to reviewing such Required Loan Documents based on the information provided on the Loan Checklist. 

(ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Required Loan Documents, the Document Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the
Secured Parties; provided that the Document Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Underlying Instruments or the instruments therein; and provided further that the Document Custodian’s
duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein. 
 (iii) All Required Loan Documents shall be kept in fire
resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the address of the Document Custodian located at 1719 Otis Way, Florence, SC 129501, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent and the Investment Manager by the Document
Custodian in a written notice delivered at least 30 days prior to such change. All Required Loan Documents shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. The
Document Custodian shall segregate the Required Loan Documents on its inventory system and will not commingle the physical Required Loan Documents with any other files of the Document Custodian. 

(iv) On each Reporting Date, the Document Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Investment Manager
identifying each Loan for which it holds Required Loan Documents and including an Exception Report. 

  
 154 

 (v) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents,
the Document Custodian shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Document Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Document Custodian shall not be required to
exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. The Document Custodian shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower or Investment Manager hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document. 
 (vi) The Administrative Agent may direct the Document Custodian to take any action incidental to its duties
hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Document Custodian hereunder, the Document Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required
to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that, the Document Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the
request of the Administrative Agent or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Document Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or
(y) shall expose the Document Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Document Custodian requests the consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Document Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
declined to consent to the relevant action. 
 (vii) The Document Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by
it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Document Custodian. The Document Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge
of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Document Custodian has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Document Custodian. 

Section 14.3 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (a) into which the Document Custodian may be merged or consolidated,
(b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Document Custodian shall be a party or (c) that may succeed to all or substantially all of the document custody business of the Document Custodian shall be the successor to
the Document Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. 
 Section 14.4 Document
Custodian Compensation. As compensation for its document custodian activities hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to the Collateral Custodian Fee from the Borrower as set forth in the Collateral Custodian Fee Letter and under the
Transaction Documents, payable pursuant to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a), 2.7(b) and 2.8, as applicable. The Document Custodian’s entitlement to receive fees (other than any previously
accrued and unpaid fees) shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (a) its removal as Document Custodian and the appointment and acceptance by the successor Document Custodian pursuant to Section 14.5, (b) its resignation as Collateral
Custodian pursuant to Section 14.7 of this Agreement or (c) the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 155 

 Section 14.5 Document Custodian Removal. The Document Custodian may be removed,
with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Document Custodian (the “Document Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Document Custodian Termination
Notice, the Document Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as it continues to act in such capacity, shall continue to receive the fees and any other amounts to which it is entitled to receive in
such capacity under the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Custodian Fee Letter) until a successor Document Custodian has been appointed (with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and has
agreed to act as Document Custodian hereunder. Upon the termination of the Document Custodian pursuant to this Section 14.5, the Administrative Agent will provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto. 

Section 14.6 Limitation on Liability. 

(a) The Document Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any written notice, instruction, statement,
certificate, request, waiver, consent, instrument, opinion, report, letter or other paper, electronic communication or document furnished to it in accordance with this Agreement, which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and that has
been signed or presented by the proper party (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of the Borrower shall be a Responsible Officer) or parties. 

(b) The Document Custodian may consult counsel selected with due care and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (c) The Document Custodian shall not be liable for
any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct,
bad faith or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties. 
 (d) The Document Custodian makes no warranty or representation and
shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to
and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Document Custodian shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its
reasonable judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. 
 (e) The
Document Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Document Custodian.

  
 156 

 (f) The Document Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the
performance of its duties hereunder. 
 (g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Document Custodian is not guaranteeing
performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral. 
 (h) The
Document Custodian may assume the genuineness of any such Required Loan Document it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each Required Loan Document it may
receive is what it purports to be. If an original “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8102 and Section 9- 102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any
Collateral to be held by the Document Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Document Custodian, and the Document Custodian shall not be under any obligation at
any time to determine whether any such original security or instrument has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Collateral or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Document Custodian. Without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing, the Document Custodian shall be without liability to the Borrower, Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent or any other Person for any damage or loss resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the
Document Custodian’s reasonable control, including nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, the interruption, disruption or suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical,
communications or other technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or the like, fires, floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters, civil and military disturbance, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolution, acts of God, work
stoppages, strikes, national disasters of any kind, or other similar events or acts; errors by the Borrower, the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent (including any Responsible Officer of any thereof) in its instructions to the Document
Custodian; or changes in applicable law, regulation or orders. 
 (i) The Document Custodian may exercise any of its rights or powers
hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or, by or through agents or attorneys, and the Document Custodian shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed hereunder
with due care by it. Neither the Document Custodian nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees will be liable to the Investment Manager, Borrower or any other Person, except by reason of acts or omissions by
the Document Custodian constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Document Custodian’s duties hereunder. The Document Custodian shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of
the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent, or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information
or data received by it from the Borrower, the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent, or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused by the Document Custodian’s own bad faith, willful misconduct, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. 

  
 157 

 (j) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Document
Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Investment Manager and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all
times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Document Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken
pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Document Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
profits), even if the Document Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

Section 14.7 Document Custodian Resignation. 

(a) The Document Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving not less than 90 days written notice
thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Investment Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable in accordance with this Agreement, any fees accrued through the
effective date of its resignation pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 14.7. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Document Custodian may not resign prior to a successor Document Custodian being
appointed. For the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral Custodian Fee shall be payable to the Document Custodian so resigning until such time as a successor Document Custodian shall have been appointed. Upon receipt of any such notice pursuant to this
Section 14.7, the Administrative Agent will provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto. 

Section 14.8 Release of Documents. 

(a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Collateral, the Document
Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent) to, and shall, upon written receipt from the Investment Manager of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit E, release to the Investment Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Required Loan Documents or the documents set forth in such request and receipt to the Investment Manager. All documents
so released to the Investment Manager shall be held by the Investment Manager in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Investment Manager shall return
to the Document Custodian the Required Loan Documents or other such documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) when the Investment Manager’s need therefor in connection with such enforcement or
servicing no longer exists, unless the Loan shall be liquidated or sold, in which case, upon receipt of an additional request for release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation or sale from the Investment Manager to the Document
Custodian in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E, the Investment Manager’s request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection shall be released by the Document Custodian to the Investment Manager. 

  
 158 

 (b) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Document Custodian of the
Investment Manager’s request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment or
repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in this Agreement), the Document Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to the Investment Manager. 

(c) Limitation on Release. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the foregoing provision with respect to
the release to the Investment Manager of the Required Loan Documents and documents by the Document Custodian upon request by the Investment Manager shall be operative only to the extent that the Administrative Agent have consented to such release.
Promptly after delivery to the Document Custodian of any request for release of documents, the Investment Manager shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Shipment of Required Loan Documents. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Document Custodian
is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Required Loan Documents in the performance of the Document Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Borrower, the Investment Manager or the Administrative Agent to the
Document Custodian prior to any shipment of any Underlying Instruments hereunder. The Investment Manager shall arrange for the provision of such services at the cost and expense of the Borrower (or, at the Document Custodian’s option, the
Borrower shall reimburse the Document Custodian for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Document Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Underlying Instruments
as the Investment Manager deems appropriate. 
 Section 14.9 Return of Required Loan Documents. The Borrower may, with the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require that the Document Custodian return each Required Loan Document (as applicable), respectively (a) delivered to the Document Custodian in error,
(b) as to which the lien on the Underlying Asset has been so released pursuant to Section 8.2, (c) that has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale or Substitution pursuant to Section 2.14 or (e) that is required to be
redelivered to the Borrower in connection with the termination of this Agreement, in each case by submitting to the Document Custodian and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (signed by both the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent) specifying the Collateral to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Document
Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly, but in any event within two Business Days, return the Underlying Instruments so requested to the Borrower. 

Section 14.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral Portfolio. 

(a) The Investment Manager, the Borrower and the Document Custodian shall, at the Borrower’s expense, provide to the Administrative Agent
access to the Underlying Instruments and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where the Administrative Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by
applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such 

  
 159 

 access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written
request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Investment Manager’s and Document Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures; provided that the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon request
of any Lender, permit each Lender to be included on any such review, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule any review on a day when Lenders desiring to participate in such review may be included. From time to time at the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may review the Investment Manager’s collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess compliance by the Investment Manager with Article VI and may conduct
an audit of the Collateral, and Underlying Instruments in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time. 

(b) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 14.10(a), from time to time on request of the Administrative
Agent, the Document Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other independent auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct a review of the Underlying Instruments and all other documentation regarding the Collateral. Up
to two such reviews per fiscal year shall be at the expense of the Borrower and additional reviews in a fiscal year shall be at the expense of the requesting Lender(s); provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, any such reviews, regardless of frequency, shall be at the expense of the Borrower. 
 Section 14.11 Custodian as
Agent. The Document Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Underlying Instruments at any time or times in its possession, the Document Custodian shall be the agent of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for
purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC. 

Section 14.12 Indemnification. For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to all of the benefits of the
indemnification provisions to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article X.
