 5 

 (c) The sale, transfer, assignment, set–over and conveyance of the Purchased Assets by the Seller to
the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Buyer, the Deal Agent or the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Seller in connection with the Purchased Assets, or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, (i) any obligation to any Obligor, if any, not financed by, or with an unfunded commitment from, the Seller, (ii) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by any
Governmental Authority and (iii) any insurance premiums that remain owing with respect to any Loan at the time such Loan is sold hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer does not assume any obligation to purchase any additional
notes or loans under agreements governing the Purchased Assets. 
  
 (d) The Seller and the Buyer intend and agree that (i) the transfer of the Purchased Assets from the Seller to the Buyer is intended to be a sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of the Purchased Assets rather than the mere
granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing and (ii) such Purchased Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event or in the event of any other action by or against such Person under
any Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed to be a grant of a mere security interest to secure indebtedness, the Seller shall be deemed to have granted (and hereby does grant)
to the Buyer a perfected first priority security interest in such Purchased Assets, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Applicable Law, securing the repayment of the Purchase Price paid hereunder and the other obligations
of the Seller to the Buyer hereunder, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, this Agreement together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto and the Seller
agrees to execute such documents and take such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary or reasonably advisable to insure, protect or preserve such security interest including, without limitation, those specified in Section 2.1(f).

  
 (e) If such transfer of the Purchased Assets is deemed to be
the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Buyer may, to secure the Buyer’s obligations under the Loan Funding Agreement repledge and reassign (i) all or a portion of the Purchased Assets pledged to the Buyer by
the Seller and with respect to which the Buyer has not released its security interest at the time of such pledge and assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made by the Buyer with or without a repledge
and reassignment by the Buyer of its rights under any agreement with the Seller, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from the Seller. The Seller waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all claims, causes of action and
remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Buyer or any assignee of the Buyer relating to such action by the Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents. 
  
 (f) In connection with the sale of any Purchased
Assets, the Seller agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements, assignments of financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) and 

  

 6 

 
Assignments of Mortgage, as the case may be, with respect to the Purchased Assets, meeting the requirements of Applicable Law in such manner and in such
jurisdictions as are necessary to evidence the sale of the Purchased Assets and to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the transfer of the Purchased Assets from the Seller to the Buyer on and after the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) that
such financing statements, assignments of financing statements and Assignments of Mortgage, as the case may be, shall name the Seller, as seller/debtor/assignor, and the Buyer, as purchaser/secured party/assignee, of the Purchased Assets and
(iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings (excluding continuation statements, which shall be delivered as filed). 
  
 (g) In connection with the sale of any Purchased Assets, the Seller agrees to deliver to the Buyer a completed checklist, in
the form set forth on Schedule I hereto, for each Purchased Loan, together with all documents relating to such Purchased Loan listed in such checklist. 
  
 Section 2.2 Covenants of the Seller. 
  
 On or before any Purchase Date with respect to any Loans and other Purchased Assets acquired by the Buyer, the Seller shall: 
  
 (i) clearly indicate in its files that such Loans and other
Purchased Assets have been sold to the Buyer and deliver to the Buyer a list that the Seller shall represent to contain a true and complete list of such Loans and the Purchased Assets, identified by account number, which computer file shall be as of
such date incorporated into and made a part of the Loan List hereto; and 
  
 (ii) provide the Buyer with an Officer’s Certificate certifying as follows: (A) each such Loan was, as of the related Purchase Date, an Eligible Loan, (B) no selection procedures believed by the Seller
to be adverse to the interest of the Buyer were utilized in selecting such Loans from the available Eligible Loans in the Seller’s portfolio, (C) such Loans and other Purchased Assets and all proceeds thereof will be conveyed to the Buyer
free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller or any of its Affiliates, and (D) as of the related Purchase Date, (x) no Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller has occurred, and (y) the sale of such
Loans and other Purchased Assets to the Buyer has not been made in contemplation of the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller. 
  
 Section 2.3 Lien Release Dividends. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, provided there is neither an Unmatured Termination Event, a Termination
Event nor a Servicer Termination Event, on a Lien Release Dividend Date, the Buyer may dividend to the Seller a portion of the Purchased Loans or portions thereof (each, a “Lien Release Dividend”), subject to the following terms and
conditions:

 7 

 (ii) Any Lien Release Dividend shall only be in connection with a Permitted Transfer;

 (iv) Such Lien Release Dividend must be in compliance with
Applicable Law and may not (A) be made with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of the Buyer or (B) leave the Buyer, immediately after giving effect to the Lien Release Dividend, (i) insolvent, (ii) with
insufficient funds to pay its obligations as and when they become due or (iii) with inadequate capital for its present and anticipated business and transactions; 
  
 (v) On or prior to the Lien Release Dividend Date, the Buyer shall have (A) delivered to the Seller a

Agreement, the Buyer is required to deliver such instruments, Loan Files and Loan Checklists to the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Accordingly, the Buyer hereby authorizes and directs the Seller to deliver possession of
all such instruments, Loan Files and Loan Checklists to the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Buyer and for the account of Deal Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, and agrees that such delivery shall satisfy the condition set forth in the

not evidenced by such instruments. 
  
 (b) Prior to the occurrence
of a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Collateral Custodian shall not record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and the definition of Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event or a 

  

 20 

 
Servicer Termination Event, the Collateral Custodian shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it with
respect to all Purchased Assets except those Purchased Assets covered by the proviso to the definition of Assignment of Mortgage. Each such recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided, however, that, to the
extent the Servicer does not pay such expenses, the Collateral Custodian shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 of the Loan Funding Agreement. 
  
 Section 6.3 Release of Released Amounts. 
  
 Immediately upon the release to the Buyer by the Deal Agent of the Released Amounts, the Buyer hereby irrevocably agrees to
release to the Seller such Released Amounts, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Buyer; provided, that, the Buyer shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise
confirming the foregoing release of any Released Amounts, as may be reasonably requested by the Seller.

 (a) In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to a Loan or other Purchased Asset transferred hereunder (each such Loan, Related Property and other Purchased Asset, an
“Ineligible Loan”), no later than 30 days after the earlier of (i) knowledge of such breach on the part of the Seller and (ii) receipt by the Seller of written notice thereof given by the Buyer, the Seller shall either
(a) repurchase each such Ineligible Loan to which such breach relates on the terms and conditions set forth below, or (b) substitute for such Ineligible Loan a Substitute Loan; provided, however, that no such repurchase shall
be required to be made with respect to such Ineligible Loan (and such Loan shall cease to be an Ineligible Loan) if, on or before the expiration of such 30 day period, the representations and warranties in Section 4.2 with respect to
such Ineligible Loan shall be made true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Ineligible Loan as if such Ineligible Loan had been transferred to the Buyer on such day. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 7.1 to the contrary, in the event a of breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to each Loan, Related Property and other related Purchased Assets having been (A) conveyed to
the Buyer free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller and its Affiliates and (B) in compliance, in all material respects, with all requirements of laws applicable to the Seller, immediately upon the earlier to
occur of the discovery of such breach by the Seller or receipt by the Seller of written notice of such breach given by the Buyer, the Seller shall repurchase and the Buyer shall convey, free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement
or the Loan Funding Agreement, all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in such Ineligible Loan, and the Buyer shall, in connection with such conveyance and without further action, be deemed to represent and warrant that it has the
corporate authority and has taken all necessary corporate action to accomplish such conveyance, but without any other representation or warranty, express or implied. In the foregoing instances, the Seller shall repurchase each such Ineligible Loan
and on and after the date of such repurchase, each Ineligible Loan so repurchased shall not be included in the pool of Purchased Assets. In consideration of any such repurchase the Seller shall, on the date of repurchase of such Ineligible 

  

 21 

 
Loan, remit to the Buyer in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Retransfer Price therefor. Upon each repurchase of such Ineligible Loan, the
Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the Seller all the right, title and interest of the Buyer in, to and under such Ineligible Loan and all monies due or to become due with respect
thereto, all proceeds thereof and all rights to security for any such Ineligible Loan, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Buyer shall, at the sole expense of the Seller, execute such documents and instruments of transfer as may be
prepared by the Seller and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the transfer of such Ineligible Loan pursuant to this Section 7.1.

of any claims, proceedings, Liens or encumbrances with respect to any material violation or claimed material violation of any federal or state environmental laws or regulations or (ii) in the event of a breach of a representation and warranty
in Section 4.1(cc), such Purchased Assets shall for all purposes hereunder be, at and following the time of discovery by the Seller, the Buyer, the Deal Agent or any Secured Party of such fact, deemed an Ineligible Loan, and the Seller
shall either (1) repurchase such Ineligible Loan or (2) substitute for such Ineligible Loan a Substitute Loan. Such Ineligible Loan shall otherwise be treated in accordance with Section 7.1(a) above and shall be subject to the
same remedial and recourse provisions hereunder as other Purchased Assets determined to be Ineligible Loans hereunder. 
  
 (c) If any Ineligible Loan is replaced with one or more Substitute Loans pursuant to Section 7.1(a), such Substitute Loans shall be denominated in
the same Currency as the Ineligible Loan. 
  
 Section 7.2
Substitution of Loans. 
  
 On any day prior to the
occurrence of a Termination Event (and after the Termination Date at the discretion of the Buyer), the Seller may, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.2 and subject to the other restrictions contained herein, replace
any Loan included in the Purchased Assets with one or more Eligible Loans (each, a “Substitute Loan”), provided, that no such replacement shall occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date
of such replacement and substitution: 
  
 (a) the Seller has
recommended to the Buyer (with a copy to the Deal Agent and the Collateral Custodian) in writing that the Loan included in the Purchased Assets to be replaced should be replaced (each a “Replaced Loan”); 
  
 (b) each Substitute Loan is an Eligible Loan on the date of substitution;

  
 (c) the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of such Substitute
Loans shall be equal to or greater than the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Replaced Loans; 
  
 (d) all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be true and correct as of the date of
substitution of any such Substitute Loan; 
  

 22 

 (e) the substitution of any Substitute Loan does not cause a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination
Event to occur; 
  
 (f) as of any date of determination, the sum
of the Outstanding Loan Balances of all Substitute Loans does not exceed 20% of the highest Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of any month during the 12 month period immediately preceding such date of determination; 
  
 (g) as of any date of determination, the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances
of all Substitute Loans substituted for Defaulted Loans, Charged-Off Loans and Purchased Loans subject to a Warranty Event shall not exceed 10% of the highest Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of any month during the 12 month period immediately
preceding such date of determination; 
  
 (h) the remaining
maturity of the Substitute Loan is less than or equal to the remaining maturity of the Replaced Loan; 
  
 (i) the Weighted Average Life of such Substitute Loan is less than or equal to that of the Replaced Loan; 
  
 (j) no adverse selection procedures shall have been employed in the selection
of such Substitute Loan from the Seller’s portfolio; 
  
 (k)
all actions or additional actions (if any) necessary to perfect the security interest and assignment of such Substitute Loan and other Purchased Assets related to such Substitute Loan to the Buyer shall have been taken as of or prior to the
Substitution Date; 
  
 (l) the Eligible Risk Rating of the Obligor
of the Substitute Loan is equal to or higher than that of the Obligor of the Replaced Loan; 
  
 (m) the Loan Rate on the Substitute Loan is not less than the Loan Rate on the Replaced Loan; 
  
 (n) the total interest rate (inclusive of any deferred interest component) of the Substitute Loan is greater than or equal to the total interest rate on
the Replaced Loan; and 
  
 (o) the Seller shall deliver to the
Buyer on the date of such substitution a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that each of the foregoing is true and correct as of such date. 
  
 In addition, the Seller shall in connection with such substitution deliver to the Collateral Custodian the related Loan Documents. In connection with any
such substitution, the Buyer, shall, automatically and without further action, be deemed to transfer to the Seller, free and clear of any Lien created in favor of the Buyer, all of the right, title and interest of the Buyer, in, to and under such
Replaced Loan, but without any representation and warranty of any kind, express or implied. 
  
 If any Loan is replaced by one or more Substitute Loans pursuant to this Section 7.2, such Substitute Loans shall be denominated in the same Currency as the Replaced Loan. 
  

 23 

 Section 7.3 Deemed Collections. 
  
 If on any day the Buyer does not own or have a valid and perfected first
priority security interest in any Loan and Related Property included in the Purchased Assets (subject to Permitted Liens), upon the earlier of the Seller’s receipt of notice from the Buyer or the Deal Agent, or the Seller’s becoming aware
thereof, and the Seller’s failure to cure such breach within 30 days (if cure is reasonably possible and otherwise immediately upon receipt of notice or upon the Seller becoming aware), the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a
collection (a “Deemed Collection”) of such Loan in full and shall on such day pay to the Buyer, an amount equal to the Outstanding Loan Balance of such Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon in the Currency of such Loan, plus
any other costs and expenses related to the retransfer of such Loan and any Related Property contemplated by this Section 7.3. In connection with any such Deemed Collection, the Buyer, shall automatically and without further action
(unless otherwise necessary or requested by the Seller) be deemed to release the Lien on such Loan and any Related Property created by this Agreement in favor of the Buyer and transfer to the Seller, free and clear of any Lien created by the Buyer,
all of the right, title and interest of the Buyer, in, to, and under the Loan and Related Property with respect to which the Buyer has received such Deemed Collection, but without any recourse, representation and warranty of any kind, express or
implied.

 (c) The Seller shall pay on demand all other costs, expenses and taxes
(excluding income taxes) (“Other Costs”), including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Deal Agent in connection with periodic audits of the Borrower’s or the Seller’s books and records,

the Deal Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, any other Secured Party or its assignee and each of their respective Affiliates and officers, directors, employees and agents thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred

hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

provisions of this Agreement, the Buyer will own only the principal portion of such Loan outstanding as of the applicable Cut-off Date. Principal Collections received by the Servicer on any such Loan will be allocated first to the portion of such

any applicable grace period, (ii) a Termination Event occurs or (iii) a Servicer Termination Event occurs, then Principal Collections received on (x) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause (i) above) or (y) all
the Loans included in the Purchased Assets subject to the Retained Interest provisions of this Agreement (in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) above) will be allocated between the portion not owned by the Buyer and the
portion owned by the Buyer, pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion. 
  
 (b) With respect to any Loan (including, without limitation, any Revolving Loan) included in the Purchased Assets subject to the Retained Interest
provisions of this Agreement, Interest Collections received by the Servicer on such Loan will be allocated between the portion owned by the Buyer and the portion not owned by the Buyer on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal
amount of each such portion. 
  
 Section 10.21 Currency

 All payments to be made hereunder shall
be made in Dollars, except that the Buyer shall pay the cash Purchase Price for any Purchased Assets in the Currency in which the related Loan is denominated and the Seller shall pay the Retransfer Price for any Ineligible Loan in the Currency in
which such Ineligible Loan is denominated.

 THIS NOTE IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR
OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN FUNDING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN. 
  
 IN NO EVENT SHALL THE BORROWER (DEFINED BELOW) BE ENTITLED TO HAVE ADVANCES MADE TO IT UNDER THIS NOTE AND THE AMENDED, RESTATED AND SUBSTITUTED NOTE
PAYABLE TO YC SUSI TRUST DATED AS OF THE DATE HEREOF IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($150,000,000). 
  
 THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE WILL VARY AS ADVANCES ARE MADE AND PAID DOWN. ACCORDINGLY, THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE AT ANY TIME MAY
BE LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT SHOWN ON THE FACE THEREOF. 
  
 FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, ACS FUNDING TRUST I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Institutional Lender”) or its successors or assigns, the principal sum
of TWENTY SIX MILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($26,250,000) or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate loans (“Advances”) made by the Institutional Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Third Amended and
Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on the attached Schedule, on the dates specified in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Advance on each day that such unpaid principal amount is outstanding at the applicable Interest Rate related to such Advance as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement on each Payment Date and
each other dates specified in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
  
 This Note is issued pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2005 (as amended, modified,
waived, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, American Capital Strategies, Ltd., as originator and as the servicer (the
“Servicer”), the Conduit Lenders and Institutional Lenders from time to time party thereto, the Lender Agents from time to time party thereto, Wachovia 

  

 2 

 
Capital Markets, LLC, as the deal agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as the swingline lender, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the
backup servicer and as the collateral custodian. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, if at any time
the rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Note, when combined with any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such
other charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”),
then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded the rate of interest under this Note shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Note is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate,
the Borrower shall continue to pay interest under this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest paid by the Borrower is equal to the total interest that would have been paid had applicable law not limited the interest
rate payable under this Note. In no event shall the total interest received by the Institutional Lender under this Note exceed the amount which the Institutional Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Note been
calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate. 
  
 Payments of the principal of, and interest on, Advances represented by this Note shall be made by the Borrower to the holder hereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose
as provided in Article 2 of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall have specified in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, without the
presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on this Note. 
  
 If any payment under this Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended at the
applicable Interest Rate. 
  
 If all or a portion of (i) the
principal amount hereof or (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any other amounts payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per
annum that is equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid in full. 
  

Portions or all of the principal amount of the Note shall become due and payable at the time or times set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Loan
Funding and Servicing Agreement. Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, together with interest thereon (and as set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, certain costs and
expenses of the Institutional Lender) at the time and in the manner set forth in, but subject to the provisions of, the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
  

 3 

 Except as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, the Borrower
expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note. 
  
 All amounts evidenced by this Note, the Institutional Lender’s making such Advance and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the
respective dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Institutional Lender on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, or otherwise
recorded by the Institutional Lender in its internal records; provided, however, that the failure of the Institutional Lender to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under
this Note as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. 
  
 The holder hereof may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Advances made by the Institutional Lender and represented by this Note and the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note. 
  
 This Note is secured by
the security interests granted pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and
Servicing Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Third Amended
and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. If a Termination Event shall occur and be
continuing, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be declared, and become due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and
Servicing Agreement. 
  
 This Note is one of the “Structured
Notes” referred to in the Third Amended and Restated Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement. This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
