2.Lock-up Provisions.

 

(a)Subject to Section 2(b), Holder agrees that it shall not Transfer any Restricted Securities beginning on the Closing Date and ending on:  

 

i.with respect to twenty percent (20%) of Holder’s Restricted Securities, such Restricted Securities may be Transferred on the trading day following the date on which the registration statement on Form S-1 is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and 

ii.with respect to the remaining eighty percent (80%) of Holder’s Restricted Securities, such Restricted Securities may be Transferred beginning upon the earlier to occur of (x) such time as the Company or any of its subsidiaries have delivered to one or more customers at least twenty (20) Guardian® XO® and/or Guardian® XT and/or Sapien® commercial units (but in no event prior to the close of business on September 24, 2022) and (y) the close of business on September 24, 2023. 

 

Such period set forth in clauses 2(a)(i) and (ii) with respect to Holder’s Restricted Securities is the “Lock-Up Period”.

 

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 2(a), one hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Securities may be Transferred in connection with or following the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, and Holder or its Permitted Transferees may Transfer the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period: (A) in the case that Holder is an individual, by gift to the spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, child or grandchild of such Holder or any other natural person with whom such Holder has a relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than first cousin, to an estate planning vehicle or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, or to a charitable organization; (B) in the case that Holder is an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of Holder; (C) in the case that Holder is an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement; (D) to a nominee or custodian of a person to whom a Transfer would be permitted under clauses (A) through (C) above; (E) to any members, partners, beneficial owners or shareholders of Holder or any Affiliates of Holder; (F) by virtue of applicable law or Holder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of Holder; (G) to STRC in connection with the repurchase of such Holder’s shares in connection with the termination of Holder’s employment with STRC or its subsidiaries pursuant to contractual agreements with STRC; (H) to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of options to purchase STRC Common Stock or the vesting and/or settlement of STRC restricted stock or stock-based awards (including options and awards assumed by STRC or otherwise issued in exchange for Sarcos Options, Sarcos RSUs or Sarcos RSAs); (I) in payment on a “net exercise” or “cashless” basis of the exercise or purchase price with respect to the exercise of options to purchase shares of STRC Common Stock (including options assumed by STRC); or (J) in connection with any court order or order from a Governmental Entity requiring the sale of such Restricted Securities; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (A) through (F) such transferee must enter into a 

2

 

written agreement with STRC, in substantially the same form of this Agreement, stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Holder for purposes of this Agreement, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, a Holder shall not be limited in filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the SEC in respect of any restricted stock or stock-based awards the Transfer of which is or may be necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and/or settlement of such restricted stock or stock-based awards.  

 

(c)If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and STRC shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose.  

 

(d)During the Lock-up Period, Holder agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with STRC’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Restricted Securities held by Holder, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions, and further agrees that stop transfer orders shall be placed against the Restricted Securities and each certificate or book entry position statement evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF            , 2022, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”) AND THE PARTIES  NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED.  A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.” 

 

(e)For the avoidance of any doubt, (i) if and to the extent Holder’s Restricted Securities include issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of STRC during the Lock-up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities that such Holder is entitled to vote, and to receive any dividends and distributions in respect of any Restricted Securities, and (ii) the restrictions contained in Section 2(a) shall not apply to any STRC Common Stock or other securities of STRC acquired by Holder in open market transactions or in any public or private capital raising transactions of STRC or otherwise to any STRC Common Stock (or other securities of STRC) other than the Restricted Securities.

 

3.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)Termination of Merger Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect. 

 

(b)Binding Effect; Assignment.  Holder hereby represents and warrants that Holder has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement and all provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.  This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of STRC. STRC may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

3

 

 

(c)Third Parties.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

 

(d)Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Remedies.  This Agreement and all related Proceedings shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES HERETO MAY FILE A COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  The parties hereto expressly incorporate by reference Section 11.11 (Jurisdiction) of the Merger Agreement and, subject to Section 3(j) hereof, Section 11.9 (Remedies) of the Merger Agreement to apply to this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, with references to the Merger Agreement therein deemed to reference this Agreement and references to the “Parties” thereunder deemed to reference the parties hereto.

 

(e)Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

(f)Construction; Interpretation.  The headings set forth in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause set forth in this Agreement; (b) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (c) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (d) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (e) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars; (f) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; (g) the words “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (h) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (i) all references to Articles or Sections are to Articles or Sections of this Agreement; and (j) all references to 

4

 

any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. 

 

(g)Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given) when delivered in person, when delivered by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), or when sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) (upon receipt thereof) to the other parties hereto as follows:

(h)Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of STRC, Sarcos and Holder.  The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.  No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.  

 

(i)Authorization on Behalf of STRC.

(j)Specific Performance.  Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and STRC will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  Accordingly, STRC shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

 

(k)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly

(l)Further Assurances.  From time to time, at another party’s written request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(m)Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including DocuSign and AdobeSign).  The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and any other applicable law.  Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document shall be disregarded in determining the parties’ intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

document required for the assignment and transfer of such Portfolio Investment has been signed by such Affiliate of the Company in blank;
and

 

    

     - 29 -

    

 

(5)            after
giving pro forma effect to the Purchase of such Portfolio Investment and the related Advance (if any) or any other Advance requested or
outstanding hereunder and any repayment of Advances, each as contemplated on or prior to the Settlement Date for such Purchase:

 

(w)            the
Borrowing Base Test is satisfied;

 

(x)            the
Concentration Limitations (as defined on Schedule 4) shall be satisfied;

 

(y)            the
aggregate principal balance of Advances then outstanding will not exceed the limit for Advances set forth in the Transaction Schedule;
and

 

(z)            in
the case of a Purchase, the amount of such Advance (if any) shall be not less than U.S.$2,000,000; provided that the aggregate
Advances shall not be less than U.S.$500,000,000 as of the Third Amended and Restated Effective Date.

 

The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders,
may waive any conditions to a Purchase Commitment or Purchase, as the case may be, specified above in this Section 1.03 by written
notice thereof to the Company, the Collateral Administrator, the Portfolio Manager and the Collateral Agent.

 

If the above conditions to a Purchase are satisfied
or waived, the Portfolio Manager shall determine, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and with notice to the Lenders and the
Collateral Administrator, the date on which such Purchase shall settle (the "Settlement Date" for such Portfolio Investment)
and any related Advance shall be provided, subject to Section 2.03. The Lenders shall not be relieved of their obligation to provide
Advances in respect of any Portfolio Investment for which the conditions to purchase set forth in this Section 1.03 have been satisfied
(or waived) as of the Trade Date therefor solely due to any failure of such Portfolio Investment to settle on the Settlement Date proposed
therefor. Promptly following the Settlement Date for a Portfolio Investment and its receipt thereof (and at other times thereafter promptly
following the written request of the Administrative Agent (including via email)), the Portfolio Manager shall provide to the Administrative
Agent a copy of the executed assignment agreement pursuant to which such Portfolio Investment was assigned, sold or otherwise transferred
to the Company.

 

SECTION 1.04. Sales of Portfolio
Investments.

 

The Company will not sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any Portfolio Investment or any other asset without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction
of the Required Lenders), except that, subject to Section 6.02(w), the Company may sell any Portfolio Investment (including any Ineligible
Investment) or other asset without prior notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent so long as, (x) after giving effect thereto,
no Market Value Event has occurred and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the sale of such asset
by the Company shall be on an arm's-length basis at fair market value and in accordance with the Portfolio Manager's standard market practices.
In addition, within ten (10) Business Days of any Delayed Funding Term Loan with an unfunded commitment becoming an Ineligible Investment,
the Company shall either (a) subject to clauses (x) and (y) in the immediately preceding sentence, sell such Delayed Funding
Term Loan and shall pay to the purchaser any amount payable in connection with such sale or (b) transfer such Delayed Funding Term
Loan to the Seller and shall pay to the Seller any amount payable in connection with such transfer (i.e. the negative Market Value of
such Delayed Funding Term Loan) and obtain from the Seller any positive Market Value of such Delayed Funding Term Loan. Any trade ticket
or other direction or instruction from the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) in connection with any sale, transfer or other
disposition of any Portfolio Investment or any other asset shall be deemed to constitute a certification that any related conditions have
been satisfied.

 

    

     - 30 -

    

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary (but subject to this Section 1.04): (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
neither the Company nor the Portfolio Manager on its behalf shall have any right to cause the sale, transfer or other disposition of a
Portfolio Investment or any other asset (including, without limitation, the transfer of amounts on deposit in the Accounts) without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent), (ii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Portfolio
Investments (individually or in lots, including a lot comprised of all of the Portfolio Investments) at the sole direction of, and in
the manner (including, without limitation, the time of sale, sale price, principal amount to be sold and purchaser) required by the Administrative
Agent (provided that the Administrative Agent shall only require sales at the direction of the Required Lenders and at least equal
to the then-current fair market value and in accordance with the Administrative Agent's standard market practices) and the proceeds from
such sales shall be used to prepay the Advances outstanding hereunder and (iii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event,
the Portfolio Manager shall have no right to act on behalf of, or otherwise direct, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any other Person in connection with a sale of Portfolio Investments pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the Portfolio
Management Agreement except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which may be by email). Following the occurrence
of a Market Value Event and in connection with the sale of any Portfolio Investment by or at the direction of the Administrative Agent,
the Portfolio Manager shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing (including via email) to facilitate
the consummation of such sale including, without limitation and if so requested, using commercially reasonable efforts to cause any of
its Affiliates acting as administrative agent with respect to such Portfolio Investment to execute and deliver an assignment agreement
in respect of such Portfolio Investment naming the Administrative Agent or such other Person designated by it as assignee.

 

Any prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph shall
automatically reduce the Financing Commitments as provided in Section 4.07(d).

 

In connection with any sale of Portfolio Investments
required by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of a Market Value Event pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding paragraph, the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent shall:

 

(i)            notify
the Company at the Designated Email Notification Address of its intention to distribute bid solicitations regarding the sale of such Portfolio
Investments and promptly upon distribution of bid solicitations regarding the sale of such Portfolio Investments; and

 

(ii)            direct
the Company to sell such Portfolio Investments to the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer
provides the highest bid in the case where bids are received in respect of the sale of such Portfolio Investments, it being understood
that if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides a bid to the Administrative Agent that is the highest bona fide bid to purchase
a Portfolio Investment on a line-item basis where such Portfolio Investment is part of a pool of Portfolio Investments for which there
is a bona fide bid on a pool basis proposed to be accepted by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), then the Administrative
Agent shall accept any such line-item bid only if such line-item bid (together with any other line-item bids by the Designated Independent
Broker-Dealer or any other bidder for other Portfolio Investments in such pool) is greater than the bid on a pool basis.

 

    

     - 31 -

    

 

For purposes of this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any bid submitted by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if, in the Administrative
Agent's judgment (acting reasonably):

 

(A)            either:

 

(x)            the
Designated Independent Broker-Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion
thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the relevant Portfolio
Investments; or

 

(y)            the
Designated Independent Broker-Dealer would not, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, be able to obtain any consent
required under any agreement or instrument governing or otherwise relating to the relevant Portfolio Investments to the assignment or
transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, to it; or

 

(B)            such
bid is not bona fide, including, without limitation, due to (x) the insolvency of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer or (y) the
inability, failure or refusal of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer to settle the purchase of the relevant Portfolio Investments
or any portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the bid(s) provided
by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer may be provided on behalf of the Company, the Portfolio Manager, any Affiliate of the Portfolio
Manager or any account or fund managed by the Portfolio or an Affiliate of the Portfolio Manager if so agreed between the Designated Independent
Broker-Dealer and any such Person.

 

In connection with any sale of a Portfolio Investment
directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04 and the application of the net proceeds thereof, the Company hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company
and in the name of the Company to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.04 (including, without limitation, the power to execute
any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 1.04 or any direction or notice to the Collateral Agent in respect to the application of net proceeds of any such sales).
None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent nor any
Affiliate of any thereof shall incur any liability to the Company, the Portfolio Manager or any other Person in connection with any sale
effected at the direction of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 1.04, including, without limitation, as a result
of the price obtained for any Portfolio Investment, the timing of any sale or sales of Portfolio Investments or the notice or lack of
notice provided to any Person in connection with any such sale, so long as, in the case of the Administrative Agent only, any such sale
does not violate Applicable Law.

 

SECTION 1.05. Certain Assumptions
relating to Portfolio Investments.

 

(a)            For
purposes of all calculations hereunder, any Portfolio Investment for which the trade date in respect of a sale thereof by the Company
has occurred, but the settlement date for such sale has not occurred, shall be considered to be owned by the Company until such settlement
date.

 

    

     - 32 -

    

 

(b)            For
all purposes hereunder (including, without limitation, Section 3.01(d) and Section 4.07(a)), (i) each Advance made
shall be a Tranche A Advance or a Tranche B Advance as indicated by the Portfolio Manager in the applicable Request for Advance, subject
to the availability of the Tranche A Financing Commitment and the Tranche B Financing Commitment, as applicable, and (ii) each partial
prepayment of Advances and/or partial cancellation or termination in full of the Financing Commitments shall relate to Tranche A Advances
and/or the Tranche A Financing Commitment and to Tranche B Advances and/or the Tranche B Financing Commitment as directed by the Portfolio
Manager in writing; provided that any prepayment of Advances that is made using Principal Proceeds of any Portfolio Investment
that was acquired with a Tranche A Advance shall be applied first to prepay Tranche A Advances. The information set forth in the Register
with respect to the Tranche A Advances and the Tranche B Advances shall be binding absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 1.06. Deposits and Contributions
by Parent.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Parent may, from time to time in its sole discretion (x) make contributions of cash to the capital of the Company for deposit
in any Account or (y) make contributions of Portfolio Investments to the Company subject, in each case, to any limitations set forth
in the Sale Agreement or under the "facts and assumptions" section of the opinion of counsel relating to certain bankruptcy
matters provided by the Company to the Administrative Agent on the Original Effective Date. All such amounts contributed will be included
as cash or Portfolio Investments of the Company as provided hereunder.

 

SECTION 1.07. Interest Rates;
Libor Notification.

 

The interest rate on an Advance may be derived from
an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to
use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may
cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may
change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings
from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the
end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together
with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administration, the "IBA") for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered
rate.  As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no
longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Advances. In light of this eventuality, public
and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the
London interbank offered rate.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In
Election, Section 3.01(h)(ii) and (iii) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest with respect
of Tranche A Advances.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.01(h), of any change
to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on a Tranche A Advance is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant
or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter
related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of "LIBO Rate" (or any other Reference Rate or
definition related thereto, as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including,
without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(ii) or
(iii), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(iv)), including without limitation, whether
the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the
same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the applicable Reference Rate) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the
London interbank offered rate (or the applicable Reference Rate) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Additional Advances.

 

(a)            [Reserved.]

 

(b)            On

Trade Date and, with respect to Sections 1.03(3) and (5), on the Settlement Date, the Lenders will make Advances available to the
Company on the related Settlement Date (or otherwise on the related specified borrowing date if no Portfolio Investment is being acquired
on such date) as provided herein.

 

(b)            Except
as expressly provided herein, the failure of any Lender to make any Advance required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligations hereunder. If any Lender shall fail to provide any Advance to the Company required hereunder, then the Administrative Agent
may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

 

(c)            The
Company shall use the proceeds of the Advances received by it hereunder to purchase the Portfolio Investments identified in the related
Notice of Acquisition or to make advances to the obligor of Delayed Funding Term Loans in accordance with the underlying instruments relating
thereto; provided that, if the proceeds of an Advance are deposited in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.01
prior to or on the Settlement Date for any Portfolio Investment but the Company is unable to Purchase such Portfolio Investment on the
related Settlement Date, or if there are proceeds of such Advance remaining after such Purchase, then, upon written notice from the Portfolio
Manager the Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds (x) to purchase Portfolio Investments (including to fund unfunded Delayed
Funding Term Loans) prior to the next date on which funds must be applied pursuant to Section 4.05 or (y) as provided in Section 4.05.
The proceeds of the Advances shall not be used for any other purpose.

 

    

     - 34 -

    

 

(d)            With
respect to any Advance, the Portfolio Manager shall, on behalf of the Company, submit a request substantially in the form of Exhibit A
to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, not later than 2:00
p.m. New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day specified as the date on which such Advance shall be
made and, upon receipt of such request, the Lenders shall make such Advances in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.01.
Any requested Advance shall be in an amount such that, after giving effect thereto and the related purchase (if any) of the applicable
Portfolio Investment(s), the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied.

 

(e)            [Reserved.]

 

(f)            If
on any Business Day up to and including the second Business Day prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Company has any outstanding
unfunded obligations to make future advances under any Delayed Funding Term Loan, then the Portfolio Manager, on behalf of the Company,
may request (and, to the extent the Company has any outstanding unfunded obligations to make future advances under any Delayed Funding
Term Loan on the second Business Day prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Advance
on such date), and the Lenders shall, subject to the satisfaction of Sections 1.03(3) and (5) on the date of such request and
the date of such Advance, make a corresponding Advance on the second Business Day following such request (with written notice to the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with Article III in amount equal to the least of
(i) the aggregate amount of all such unfunded obligations, (ii) the Financing Commitments in excess of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Advances and (iii) an amount such that the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied after giving effect to such
Advance; provided that with respect to any deemed request for an Advance on the second Business Day prior to the end of the Reinvestment
Period, if the Company provides evidence to the Administrative Agent that it has cash from other sources that is available in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement to make any such future advances in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loan, then the amount of any
such Advance shall be reduced by the amount of such funds. After giving effect to any Advance under this Section 2.03(f), the Company
shall cause the proceeds of such Advance and cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all unfunded obligations remaining in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loans to be deposited
in the Unfunded Exposure Account.

 

(g)            Without
limitation to clause (f) above, the Company shall not acquire any unfunded commitment under any Delayed Funding Term Loan unless,
on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such purchase, the Borrowing Base Test and item 5 of the Concentration Limitations will each
be satisfied.

 

SECTION 2.04. Other Conditions
to Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Lenders to make an Advance shall not become effective
until the date (the "Third Amended and Restated Effective Date") on which each of the following conditions is satisfied
(or waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion):

Documents. The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received such certificates of resolutions or other action, incumbency

reasonably require evidencing the identity, authority and capacity of each officer thereof or other Person authorized to act in connection
with this Agreement and such other documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating
to the organization, existence and good standing of the Company, the Parent and the Portfolio Manager and any other legal matters relating

ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE FINANCINGS

 

SECTION 3.01. The Advances.

 

(a)            Making
the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall
make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent for deposit to
the Collection Account. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay
such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that any amount paid to a third party upon the
written instruction of the Company as set forth in Section 2.04(i) shall constitute an Advance hereunder as of the date of such
payment for all purposes. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may, during the Reinvestment Period, borrow
and prepay Advances. Once drawn, Advances may not be reborrowed except to the extent set forth in Paragraph 1 of the Transaction Schedule.

 

(b)            Interest
on the Advances. The outstanding principal amount of each Advance shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance
is made to but excluding the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which such Advance is repaid) at a per annum rate equal to (i) in
the case of Tranche A Advances, the Benchmark and (ii) in the case of Tranche B Advances, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, in each case,
for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule; provided
that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding Advances and any unpaid interest thereon
shall bear interest (from and including the date of such Event of Default to but excluding the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date
on which such Advance is repaid) at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of Tranche A Advances, the Benchmark and (ii) in
the case of Tranche B Advances, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, in each case, for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Adjusted
Applicable Margin; provided further that, for purposes of this Section 3.01(b), if the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances
at any time is less than the Minimum Funding Amount, the amount of outstanding Advances at such time shall be deemed to equal the Minimum
Funding Amount and the interest rate in respect of the positive difference between the Minimum Funding Amount and the aggregate outstanding
amount of the Advances shall be deemed to be the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule (plus, if applicable
pursuant to the first proviso above, the Adjusted Applicable Margin).

 

(c)            Evidence
of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness
of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (1) the
amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
the Company to each Lender hereunder, (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of
the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof and (4) whether each applicable Advance constitutes a Tranche A Advance or a Tranche
B Advance. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be prima facie evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent
to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further. that in the event of a conflict between the accounts of a Lender and the accounts
of the Administrative Agent, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

    

     - 37 -

    

 

Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable
to such Lender or its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented
by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the lender named therein or its registered assigns.

 

(d)            Pro
Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 1.05(b) and Section 4.07(a)),
all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance
with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances made or held by them.

 

(e)            Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption
of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it
is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then
(1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender
or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the
Company, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur
a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), until such time as the Advances are required to be prepaid as required under clause
(3) below, to transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with
respect to which such performance would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a
transfer under clause (2), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all
accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than the earlier of (x) if the Company requests such Lender or
the Administrative Agent to take the actions set forth in clause (2) above, 20 calendar days after the date on which such Lender
or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company in writing that it is unable to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement
as specified in such clause (2) and (y) such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that and
only for so long as any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the applicable Advances to bear interest by reference to the Reference
Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest
(from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule (or the Adjusted Applicable Margin,
if applicable).

 

(f)            Increased
Costs.

 

(i)  If any Change in Law shall:

 

(A)  impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment)
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

 

    

     - 38 -

    

 

(B)  impose on any Lender, the London
interbank market or the SOFR market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made
by such Lender; or

 

(C)  subject any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition
of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Advance
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then, upon request by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Company will pay to such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(ii)  If any Lender determines that
any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's
capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), then
from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(iii) 
A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case
may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the Company
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(iv)            Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section 3.01(f) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further. that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

(v)            Each
Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Company may reasonably request that will avoid the need to
pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f); 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 (including, without
limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Company be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) which
relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

 

    

     - 39 -

    

 

(vi)            If
any Lender (A) provides notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under clause (e) above or this clause (f) or (B) defaults
in its obligation to make Advances hereunder, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, (i) prepay the Advances on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 4.03(c)(i) or (ii) require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required
by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an
assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign); provided
that (x) 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 through the date of such assignment and (y) 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 Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder
shall be payable to a defaulting Lender in connection with any such prepayment or assignment.

 

(g)            No
Set-off or counterclaim. Subject to Section 3.03, all payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances
shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment (after deduction
or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatever nature imposed by
the jurisdiction in which the Company is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof) shall not be less
than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.

 

(h)            Interest
Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. (i)  Subject to this Section 3.01(h) (other than this clause (i))
(in the case of Tranche A Advances), if prior to the commencement of any Calculation Period for an Advance:

 

		(i)	the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the Reference Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate (including because the LIBO Screen Rate or Term SOFR Reference
Rate or other applicable screen rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Calculation Period; provided that,
with respect to any Reference Rate, no Benchmark Transition Event or Early Opt-in Election shall have occurred at such time for such Calculation
Period; or

 

		(ii)	the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the applicable Reference Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate and such
Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making, funding or maintaining their
Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to
the Company, the Portfolio Manager, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic
mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company, the Portfolio Manager, the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, if any Advance
is requested to be made by the Lenders or is then outstanding, it shall thereupon constitute a Base Rate Advance.

 

    

     - 40 -

    

 

(ii)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable,
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark,
then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Benchmark
Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder
and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document upon delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Company
and the Lenders of the notice referred to in Section 3.01(h)(v) below and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined
in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark
Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at
or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided
to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders
comprising the Required Lenders.

 

(iii)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, solely with respect
to a Tranche A Advance, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference
Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current
Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings,
without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided
that, this clause (iii) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Company a Term
SOFR Notice.

 

(iv)            In
connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time by delivery of a notice of such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(v) below
and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

 

(v)            The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator of (1) any
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date, (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (3) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes, (4) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (5) the commencement
or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. 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 3.01(h), 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 Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant
to this Section 3.01(h).

 

    

     - 41 -

    

 

(vi)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO 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 regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided
a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Calculation Period" for any Benchmark settings at or after such
time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) 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 or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Calculation Period" for all Benchmark settings at
or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

 

(vii)            Upon
the Company's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a Tranche
A Advance in, conversion to or continuation of Tranche A Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for a Tranche A Advance into a request for a Base Rate
Advance or conversion of an outstanding Tranche A Advance to a Base Rate Advance.

 

SECTION 3.02. [Reserved].

 

SECTION 3.03. Taxes.

 

(a)            Payments
Free of Taxes. All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without deduction or withholding
for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (including FATCA). If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion
of the Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable
Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by
the applicable Withholding Agent shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including
such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)            Payment
of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law,
or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)            Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such
Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    

     - 42 -

    

 

(d)            Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure
to comply with the provisions of 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other
source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

 

(e)            Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03,
the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

 

(f)            Status
of Secured Parties. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect
to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or
the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable
Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth
in Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment
such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing,

 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver
to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying
that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date
on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Company or the Administrative Agent, but only if the Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

    

     - 43 -

    

 

(i)  in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under
any Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any applicable
successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits"
or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

 

(ii)  an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, is not a "10 percent shareholder" of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code,
and is not a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate") and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; or

 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender
is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS
Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS
Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender
is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such
Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct
and indirect partner;

 

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

 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any
Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of
the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the
Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with
such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

    

     - 44 -

    

 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification
it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly
notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(E) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to
the Company an electronic copy of a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 upon becoming a party under this Agreement. The Administrative
Agent represents to the Company that it is a "U.S. person" and a "financial institution" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and a "U.S. financial institution" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-3T
and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 and FATCA.

 

(g)            Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount
paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant
to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating
to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)            Survival.
Each party's obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Advances, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge
of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(c)

 

(i)            Subject
to the requirements of this Section 4.03(c), the Company shall have the right from time to time to prepay outstanding Advances (which
prepayment shall result in a termination or reduction of the Financing Commitment only to the extent required pursuant to Section 4.07)
in whole or in part (A) on any Business Day that JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ceases to act as Administrative Agent
or JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association or its Affiliate ceases to be the sole Required Lender, (B) in connection with a Market
Value Cure, (C) otherwise on any Business Day without regard to clauses (A) and (B) above, (D) upon the occurrence
of a Repayment Event or (E) following (1) notice from a Lender of unlawfulness or a request from a Lender of compensation, in
each case, as provided in Section 3.01(e) or (f) or (2) a default by a Lender in its obligation to make Advances hereunder;
provided, that the Company may not prepay outstanding Advances pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(i)(E)(2) if such default is
not continuing on the date of prepayment specified by the Company pursuant to the immediately succeeding sentence; provided, further,
that any prepayment made after the Make-Whole Period, shall reduce the Minimum Funding Amount on a dollar for dollar basis equal to such
prepayment. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator by electronic mail
of an executed document (attached as a .pdf or similar file) of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(i)(A), Section 4.03(c)(i)(C),
Section 4.03(c)(i)(D) of Section 4.03(c)(i)(E) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, two (2) Business

ACCOUNTS; COLLATERAL SECURITY

 

SECTION 8.01. The Accounts;
Agreement as to Control.

 

(a)  Establishment and Maintenance of Accounts.
The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association as Securities Intermediary and has directed and the Securities Intermediary
hereby acknowledges that it has established (1) an account designated as the "Custodial Account", (2) an account
designated as the "Collection Account", (3) an account designated as the "MV Cure Account" and
(4) an account designated as the "Unfunded Exposure Account" (the Unfunded Exposure Account, together with the Collection
Account, the Custodial Account, the MV Cure Account and any successor accounts established in connection with the resignation or removal
of the Securities Intermediary, the "Accounts"), and the account numbers for the Accounts are set forth on the Transaction Schedule.
The Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain each of the Accounts as a securities intermediary in the name of the Company subject to
the lien of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and (y) agrees not to change the name or account number of any Account without
the prior consent of the Collateral Agent. The Securities Intermediary hereby certifies that it is a bank or trust company that in the
ordinary course of business maintains securities accounts for others and in that capacity has established the Accounts in the name of
the Company. For administrative purposes the Securities Intermediary may establish a subaccount of the Collection Account for the purpose
of holding Interest Proceeds and a subaccount of the Collection Account for the purpose of holding Principal Proceeds.

 

(b)  Collateral Agent in Control of Securities
Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Account shall be deemed to be a "securities account"
(within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the "UCC")),
(2) all property credited to any Account shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (3) except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial
asset credited to each Account. Subject to the immediately succeeding two sentences, the Securities Intermediary will (i) act on
entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Accounts originated by the Portfolio Manager on behalf of the Company without
the further consent of the Collateral Agent or any other Person and (ii) act on entitlement orders or other instructions with respect
to the Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent without the further consent of the Company, the Portfolio Manager or any other Person.
In the event of a conflict between an entitlement order or instruction originated by the Collateral Agent and an entitlement order or
instruction originated by the Portfolio Manager, the entitlement order originated by the Collateral Agent shall govern. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, following the Securities' Intermediary's receipt of a notice regarding
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and following the occurrence of any Market Value Event, the Securities
Intermediary shall act solely on entitlement orders and other instructions with respect to the Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent
without the consent of any other Person and shall not accept any entitlement order or other instruction from the Portfolio Manager. The
parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have control over each Account. The only
permitted withdrawals from the Accounts shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c)  Subordination of Lien, Etc. If the
Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Account or
any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate
to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The property credited to any Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's
lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all
amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its reasonable fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of
the Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Account but are subsequently returned unpaid
because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

 

(d)  Property Registered, Indorsed, etc.
to Securities Intermediary. All securities or other property represented by a promissory note or an instrument underlying any financial
assets credited to any Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary
in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial
asset credited to any Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to the order of the Company or specially indorsed to the
Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

 

(e)  Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Accounts.
The establishment and maintenance of each Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law
of the State of New York and the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC)
shall be the State of New York. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition have the meanings given to them in the UCC. The
Parties further agree that the law applicable to all of the issues in Article 2(1) of The Hague Convention on the Law Applicable
to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary shall be the law of the State of New York.

 

(f)  No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth
in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Section 8.01 so
long as it acts without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers. The Securities Intermediary shall be subject to all of the rights, protections and immunities
given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including indemnities.

 

(g)  Investment of Funds on Deposit in the
Unfunded Exposure Account. All amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested (and reinvested) at the written
direction of the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) delivered to the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments; provided
that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following a Market Value Event, all amounts on deposit

(ii)            While
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Market Value Event has occurred and subject to satisfaction of the Borrowing
Base Test (after giving effect to such release), the Portfolio Manager may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities

and Eligible Investments and amounts on deposit in the MV Cure Account, by (x) causing the Securities Intermediary to indicate by
book entry that a financial asset comprised thereof has been credited to the applicable Account and (y) causing the Securities Intermediary
to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to each such security entitlement
without further consent by the Company;

 

(2)  in the case of each general
intangible, by notifying the obligor thereunder of the security interest of the Collateral Agent;

 

(3)  in the case of Portfolio Investments
consisting of money or instruments (the "Possessory Collateral") that do not constitute a financial asset forming the
basis of a security entitlement delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (1) above, by causing (x) the Collateral
Agent to obtain possession of such Possessory Collateral in the State of New York or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or (y) a
Person other than the Company and a securities intermediary (A)(I) to obtain possession of such Possessory Collateral in the State

herein to the contrary, establishing dominion and control over such account in favor of the Collateral Agent; and

 

(5)  in all cases, by filing or
causing the filing of a financing statement with respect to such Collateral with the Delaware Secretary of State.

 

(c)  Remedies, Etc. During the period
in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Advances then outstanding shall have been declared due and
payable in accordance with Article VII, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and to the extent directed in writing by the Required
Lenders, with a copy to the Company and the Portfolio Manager) do any of the following:

 

(1)  Exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified
below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's or its
designee's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a designee
of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days' prior notice to the Company of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or
its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

    

     - 66 -

    

 

(2)  Transfer all or any part of
the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof.

 

(3)  Enforce collection of any of
the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for
any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto.

 

(4)  Endorse any checks, drafts,
or other writings in the Company's name to allow collection of the Collateral.

 

(5)  Take control of any proceeds
of the Collateral.

to all or any of the Collateral.

 

(7)  Perform such other acts as
may be reasonably required to do to protect the Collateral Agent's rights and interest hereunder.

 

In connection with any sale of the Collateral, or
any part thereof, pursuant to this clause (c), the Portfolio Manager and its Affiliates may enter one or more bids through the Designated
Independent Broker-Dealer.

 

(d)  Compliance with Restrictions. The
Company and the Portfolio Manager agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent or its designee are hereby authorized
to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel in writing is necessary in order
to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders
and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders
and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any
governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Company and the Portfolio Manager further agree that such compliance shall not,
in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall
the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company or the Portfolio Manager for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact
that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

 

(e)  Private Sale. The Collateral Agent
shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to clause (c) above
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and the Portfolio Manager hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Lender
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
which might have been obtained at a public sale.

 

    

     - 67 -

    

 

(f)  Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall
not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of
the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion (exercised at the written direction
of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this clause is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.

 

(g) 
Further Assurances. The Company covenants and agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed
by the Administrative Agent), the Company will execute and deliver all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments
and such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) may reasonably
request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security
interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral; provided that no such document may alter the rights and protections afforded to the Company or the Portfolio Manager
herein.

 

(h)  Termination. Upon the payment in
full of all Secured Obligations and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically
(and without further action by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination,
the Collateral Agent will, at the Company's sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without
any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of
the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as
the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

 

SECTION 9.01. Appointment of
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") as its agent and authorizes such
Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and
each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood
and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable.

 

Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

 

    

     - 68 -

    

 

No Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities
Intermediary shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing
shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such
Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise
of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Lenders, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in
the case of any Agent, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances
as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution
serving in the capacity of such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative
Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary only) or the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). None of the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default,
Market Value Event or failure of the Borrowing Base Test unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from
the Company, a Lender or the Administrative Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary
or the Administrative Agent shall 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other
agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities
Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations
hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder.

 

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document
or other writing or electronic communication believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any
such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

In the event the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders,
the instruction of the Required Lenders shall govern. None of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary
shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein)
to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose
a duty to act.

 

    

     - 69 -

    

 

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that none
of the Collateral Administrator , the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under
any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria (Schedule 3), the conditions to any purchase of sale of Collateral
, the Borrowing Base Test or the Concentration Limitations (Schedule 4) in any instance, to determine if the conditions of "Deliver"
have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other Person with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. No Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Agent with due care. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and advisors of such Person and its Affiliates (the "Related Parties") for such Agent. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent,
and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well
as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative
Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days' notice to each other agent, the Lenders, the Portfolio Manager and the Company. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral
Agent, Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an
Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted
such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring agent gives notice of its resignation, such agent may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary,
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent, and the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After the retiring agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed
at any time with 30 days' notice by the Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral
Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Lenders and the Portfolio Manager. Upon any such removal, the Company
shall have the right (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such Person shall have been so appointed by the
Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent
may appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial
institution. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case
may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the removed agent, and the removed agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the removed agent's removal
hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

 

    

     - 70 -

    

 

Upon the request of the Company or the Administrative
Agent or the successor agent, such retiring or removed agent shall, upon payment of its fees, expenses, indemnities and charges (including
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) then due hereunder and unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed agent hereunder. Upon request of any such successor agent, the Company and
the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no
event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary,
as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the
Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent, the
Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

 

Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the
Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished
to it in connection with this Agreement.

 

Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the
Securities Intermediary shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing
or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest
or lien granted to it hereunder.

 

No Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities
Intermediary shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but
are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Administrator and the Securities Intermediary are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative
Agent.

 

    

     - 71 -

    

 

The rights, protections and immunities given to the
Agents in this Section 9.01 shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

 

SECTION 9.02. Additional Provisions Relating
to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary.

 

(a)  Collateral Agent May Perform.
The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders)
for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein, provided that the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply
with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely
to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the
case may be, issuing such instruction provide indemnity or security satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same.

 

With respect to actions which are incidental to the
actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral 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 written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action
hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the determination
of the Collateral Agent, (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any
loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, issuing such instruction
provide indemnity or security satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same.

 

If, in performing its duties under this Agreement,
the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions
from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within
five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking any such courses of action and shall have no liability in connection therewith except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent
it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

 

(b)  Reasonable Care. The Collateral
Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession, provided
that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if
it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default (and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed
to have exercised reasonable care in its custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as
the Administrative Agent reasonably requests), but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not
in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation
statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining
the perfection of any liens thereon.

 

(c)  Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except
to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable
by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible
Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent's failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral
Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses
incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged
that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto
or any parties to the Portfolio Investments or other Collateral.

 

    

     - 72 -

    

 

(d)  Certain Rights and Obligations of the
Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments
necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted
by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant
to a public or private sale, any Agent or Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral
Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender in its individual capacity unless the Required Lenders shall
otherwise agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any
portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the
purchase price for any collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.

 

(e)  Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary
and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and
the Collateral Administrator such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral
Administrator and the Portfolio Manager, may agree in writing, subject to the Priority of Payments. The Company further agrees to pay
to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, or reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Securities
Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney's fees,
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the Priority of Payments.

 

(f)  Execution by the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary
are executing this Agreement solely in their capacity as Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary hereunder
and in no event shall have any obligation to make any Advance, provide any Advance or perform any obligation of the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders hereunder. Any organization or entity into which the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall be a party and any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially
all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall be the successor Collateral Agent or
the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, hereunder without execution or filing of any paper or any further act of any of the parties
hereto; provided that such surviving entity meets the requirements of a successor Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator, to the
extent applicable, set forth in Section 9.01.

 

(g)  Reports by the Collateral Administrator.
The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as Collateral Administrator and directs the Collateral Administrator
to prepare the reports substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

    

     - 73 -

    

 

(h)  Information Provided to Collateral Agent,
Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary. Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section, none of the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on
the part of the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Company or the Required Lenders to provide accurate and complete information
on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, or otherwise on
the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or reckless
disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, shall have no liability
for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent's, the Collateral Administrator's or the Securities

party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Unavailability Period or Early Opt-In

a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and executed by each of the Company, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator,
the Securities Intermediary the Required Lenders and the Portfolio Manager; provided, however, that any amendment to this
Agreement that the Administrative Agent determines in its commercially reasonable judgment is necessary to effectuate the purposes of
Section 1.04 hereof following the occurrence of a Market Value Event and which would not result in an increase or decrease in the
rights, duties or liabilities of the Portfolio Manager shall not be required to be executed by the Portfolio Manager (other than any amendment
or modification to the third through fifth paragraph of Section 1.04, which shall require the written consent of the Portfolio Manager);
provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may waive any of the Eligibility Criteria and the requirements set forth
in Schedule 3 or Schedule 4 in its sole discretion; provided, further, that none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to execute any amendment that affects its rights, duties, protections or
immunities.

 

SECTION 10.06. Successors; Assignments.

 

(a)  The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that
the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Portfolio
Manager, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall
be null and void). If the Company or the Portfolio Manager request in writing that the Administrative Agent consent to an assignment of
the obligations of the Portfolio Manager hereunder or under the Portfolio Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such request. The Administrative
Agent shall have no liability for any failure to respond to any such request. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

 

(b)  Subject to the conditions set forth below,
any Lender may assign to any other Person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) of the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
of any Financing Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) with a Financing Commitment immediately prior to
giving effect to such assignment.

 

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions: (A) 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 and (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

 

    

     - 78 -

    

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below,
from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits
of Section 10.04).

 

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose
as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Financing Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Company, any Lender (with respect to its own interests) and the Portfolio Manager, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Lender
and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in
the Register.

 

(c)  Any Lender may, without the consent of
the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Lender Participant")
in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment
and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Company, the
Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant,
agree to any Material Amendment that affects such Lender Participant. As used herein, "Material Amendment" means any
amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement that (i) increases the Financing Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduces
the principal amount of any Advance or reduces the rate of interest thereon, or reduces any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpones
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance, or any interest thereon, or any other amounts payable hereunder,
or reduces the amount of, waives or excuses any such payment, or postpones the scheduled date of expiration of any Financing Commitment,
(iv) changes any provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required hereby, or (v) changes any
of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the
number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder.

 

(d)            Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant's interest
in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Lender Participant
or any information relating to a Lender Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter
of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and
Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended, finalized or successor version). The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register. The Company agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and
3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood
that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section; provided
that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to replacement of Lenders
as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation would
have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs
after the Lender or the Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Company's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions
set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Lender Participant.

located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of

under Applicable Law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate")
which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with Applicable Law,
the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited

not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.08 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such
Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

		5.	Such obligation is issued by a company organized in an Eligible Jurisdiction.

related loan agreement, but not to exceed five (5) days) and no Indebtedness of the obligor thereon ranking pari passu with
or senior to such obligation is in default with respect to the payment of principal or interest for which the lenders for such pari

		10.	Such obligation is not an equity security and does not provide, on the date of acquisition, for conversion or exchange at any time
over its life into an equity security.

 

    

     - 2 -

    

 

		11.	Such obligation provides for periodic payments of interest thereon in cash at least semi-annually.

		13.	In the case of a Portfolio Investment that is a Loan, (i) to the knowledge of the Company and the Portfolio Manager after reasonable

or assigned to the Administrative Agent and (ii) if the Company or the Portfolio Manager (or in each case, an affiliate thereof)
acts as the administrative agent in respect of such Portfolio Investment, the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent
an assignment agreement duly executed by the administrative agent in respect of such Portfolio Investment, naming the Administrative Agent
as assignee; provided that with respect to each Initial Portfolio Investment owned by the Company on the Effective Date, the Company
shall have delivered the documents required under the preceding clause (ii) by June 15, 2020.

Agent (at the direction of the Required Financing Providers); provided that this clause 14 shall not be applicable for purposes
of Section 1.03 of the Agreement; provided, further, that in the case of each of clauses (a) – (e) above,
such amendment shall constitute a Portfolio Investment Material Event.
