to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which
such calculation is made.

 

(f)          For
purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration
Limitations, Ineligible Collateral Loans will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to zero.

 

(g)         Except
as otherwise provided herein, Ineligible Collateral Loans will (i) not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality
Test, (ii) be treated as having an Asset Value of equal to zero and (iii) be excluded from the calculation of the Borrowing Base
on and after the date such Collateral Loan constitutes an Ineligible Collateral Loan.

 

(h)          For
purposes of determining the Minimum Weighted Average Spread Test (and related computations of Aggregate Funded Spread), capitalized
or deferred interest (and any other interest that is not paid in cash) will be excluded.

 

(i)          Portions
of the same Collateral Loan acquired by the Borrower on different dates (whether through purchase, receipt by contribution or the
making or origination thereof, but excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Loans or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans)
will, for purposes of determining the purchase price of such Collateral Loan, be treated as separate purchases on separate dates
(and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Collateral Loan).

 

(j)          For
the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest
0.01%.

 

(k)         For
purposes of calculating compliance with the Borrowing Base Test, the Equity Coverage Test, the Minimum Equity Test, the Collateral
Quality Test, or any Concentration Limitation under this Agreement in connection with the acquisition or disposition of a Collateral
Loan or Eligible Investment, each of the trade date and the settlement date with respect to any such Collateral Loan or Eligible
Investment acquired or disposed of or under consideration for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine compliance
with the Borrowing Base Test, the Equity Coverage Test, the Minimum Equity Test, the Collateral Quality Test, or any Concentration
Limitation and whether such acquisition or disposition is permitted hereunder; provided that, (i) for purposes of calculating
compliance with the Borrowing Base Test, the Equity Coverage Test, the Minimum Equity Test, the Collateral Quality Test, or any
Concentration Limitation, the calculation thereof shall assume (and give pro forma effect to) (x) the making of an Advance to the
Borrower (based on the Advance Rate applicable thereto) and any capital contribution to the Borrower by the Equityholder upon settlement
of the acquisition of a Collateral Loan (based on the purchase price therefor) and (y) the repayment of an Advance to the Borrower
upon settlement of the disposition of a Collateral Loan (based on the sale price therefor) and (ii) for purposes of calculating
the Borrowing Base Test, the Equity Coverage Test, the Minimum Equity Test, the Collateral Quality Test, or any Concentration Limitation
in connection with the making or repayment of any Advance, such calculation shall be recalculated at the time such Advance is made
or repaid after giving effect to the settlement of any Collateral Loan acquired or disposed of.

(l)          To
the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Agreement or to the extent more than
one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, the Collateral Administrator shall
request direction from the Administrative Agent as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator
shall follow such direction, and together with the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary, shall be entitled
to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

ADVANCES

 

Section
2.01.         Revolving Credit Facility; Approval Requests

 

(a)          The
Borrower, shall, on or prior to the third Business Day prior to each proposed trade date of each proposed acquisition of one or
more Collateral Loans (whether proposed to be funded by an Advance or by the use of the cash proceeds contributed by the Equityholder,
or by an in-kind contribution of Collateral Loans contributed by the Equityholder or any combination thereof) submit an asset approval
request for such Collateral Loans through the Citi Velocity website located at www.citivelocity.com (such request, an “Approval
Request”). Such approval may take the form of a standing list of pre-approved assets containing the characteristics of
each pre-approved asset (other than purchase price), together with a notice of intention to trade containing the par amount and
purchase price of the Collateral Loan(s) being acquired delivered on or prior to the third Business Day preceding the proposed
trade date.

 

(b)          The
Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve or reject any Approval Request in its sole discretion and to request additional
information regarding any proposed Collateral Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business
Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of all required information and documentation; provided that if the Administrative
Agent shall fail to so notify the Collateral Manager and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have rejected
such Approval Request) notify the Collateral Manager and the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator)
in writing (including via electronic mail) whether each Approval Request has been approved or rejected. Any approval may be withdrawn
at any time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower actually becomes obligated to purchase or
enter into documents governing such proposed Collateral Loan by written notice (including via e-mail) of such withdrawal from the
Administrative Agent to the Collateral Manager. If the Administrative Agent has rejected an Approval Request, or withdrawn or withheld
its approval of any such request, then the Borrower shall not be authorized to purchase such proposed Collateral Loan unless, in
the case of a withdrawn approval, the Administrative Agent has not withdrawn its approval by written notification to the Borrower
at least three (3) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower enters into a commitment to purchase such proposed Collateral
Loan.

 

(c)          On
the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make
loans to the Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period,
on a pro rata basis in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding such Lender’s
Commitment and, as to all Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the Borrowing Base as then in effect.
Each such borrowing of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing”.

 

    50

     

    

 

Within such limits
and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this
Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, if, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or on the Commitment Termination Date, the amount on deposit
in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Exposure Amount (such amount, the “Unfunded Reserve Account
Shortfall”), the Borrower shall cause to be deposited in the Unfunded Reserve Account an amount equal to the Unfunded
Reserve Account Shortfall. The Unfunded Reserve Account Shortfall may be funded with Advances to the Borrower and capital contributions
by the Equityholder. Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Reserve
Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its pro rata portion of such Advances in accordance with
Section 2.02(e), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure
to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02); provided that any such Advance to the Borrower
shall not exceed the Borrowing Base.

 

Section
2.02.         Making of the Advances

 

(a)          If
the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under this Agreement it shall give the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Administrator) a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing
(which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than:

 

(i)          in
the case of Advances requested on the Closing Date, 5:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and

 

(ii)         in
the case of all other Advances 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date.

 

(b)          There
shall be a maximum of three (3) Borrowings requested per week.

 

(c)          Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing
is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, and shall
otherwise be appropriately completed. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date (specifically identifying
whether such Borrowing will be on three (3) Business Days’ notice. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date and the amount of the Borrowing requested
in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple
of $10,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unfunded Commitments hereunder or, in the case of Delayed Drawdown Collateral
Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect thereof).

 

(d)          The
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its receipt of such Notice of Borrowing by 2:00 p.m. on the day of receipt thereof
(or, if such day is not a Business Day, by noon on the next succeeding Business Day).

 

(e)          Each
Lender shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested
Amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by disbursing such funds to the account of the Administrative
Agent in accordance with the wiring instruction set forth in the notification of Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Administrative
Agent to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(a). Once each Lender has funded its Percentage of the applicable Requested
Amount, the Administrative Agent shall make the Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds to the Collection
Account.

 

    51

     

    

 

Section
2.03.         Evidence of Indebtedness; Notes

 

(a)          Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of principal
and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information provided to
it by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Advances Outstanding with respect to each Lender.

 

(b)          Any
Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances
of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section
12.06(a)) be represented by a Note payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 12.06(a)),
except to the extent that such Lender (or assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that
such Advances once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.03.

 

(c)          If
any Lender elects not to receive a Note, all references herein and the other Facility Documents to such Lender’s Note shall
be deemed to mean the Advances Outstanding with respect to such Lender. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions
herein and the other Facility Documents related to the Lenders hereunder shall apply to each Lender regardless of whether such
Lender has received a Note.

 

Section
2.04.         Payment of Amounts

 

The Borrower shall
pay principal and Interest on the Advances and fees in accordance with the Priority of Payments to the Lenders pursuant to the
Priority of Payments as follows:

 

(a)          100%
of the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, shall be payable on
the Final Maturity Date.

 

(b)          Interest
shall accrue at the Interest Rate on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal
amount is paid in full.

 

(c)          The
Administrative Agent shall determine the unpaid Interest, Commitment Fees, and Prepayment Fees payable thereto prior to each Payment
Date using the applicable Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each
Advance on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each Lender and the Collateral Manager thereof
and shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest, Commitment Fees, and Prepayment Fees to the Borrower on the second
(2nd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

 

(d)          Accrued
Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, and (ii) in connection with any prepayment in full
of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(a); provided that with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances
Outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment may be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed
to between the Lenders and the Borrower. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

 

    52

     

    

 

(e)          The
obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding
principal amount of the Advances and accrued interest thereon, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.15), under any and all circumstances and irrespective
of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured
Party or any other Person.

 

Section
2.05.         Prepayment of Advances

 

(a)          Optional
Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part, without
penalty or premium, subject to Section 2.10; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent
and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the
form of Exhibit C hereto not later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (provided
that same day notice may be given to cure any non-compliance with the Coverage Tests). The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Lenders of such Notice of Prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt
and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately
completed. Each prepayment by the Borrower of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) (other than a prepayment made
in order to cure any non-compliance with the Coverage Tests) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $100,000 or,
if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding or, in the case of any prepayment of Advances with
the proceeds of a prepayment or repayment of principal of Collateral Loans, such lesser amount as is paid by the applicable Obligor
in respect thereof. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(b)          Mandatory
Prepayments. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority
of Payments, including as applicable and without limitation, the Mandatory Amortization Amount applicable to each applicable Payment
Date. The Borrower shall provide, in each Payment Date Report, notice of the aggregate amounts of Advances that are to be
prepaid on the related Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

(c)          Borrowing
Base Deficiency Cures.

 

(i)          In
addition to any other obligation of the Borrower to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
if any Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower may eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in its entirety by effecting
one or more (or any combination thereof) of the following actions: (A) deposit into or credit to the Collection Account cash
and Eligible Investments, (B) repay Advances (together with any breakage payments pursuant to Section 2.10 and all
accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Agents, Custodian, Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary and the Lenders
for which the Borrower has received a reasonably detailed invoice prior to such date of repayment, in each case in respect of the
amount so repaid) or (C) during the Reinvestment Period, pledge additional Collateral Loans as Collateral.

 

(ii)         In
connection with the proposed repayment of Advances or pledge of additional Collateral Loans as Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i),
the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall deliver in accordance with Section 2.05(a), (x) to the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian), notice of such repayment
or pledge and a duly completed Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, updated to the date such repayment or pledge is being made
and giving pro forma effect to such repayment or pledge, and (y) to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, a description
of any Collateral Loans and each Obligor of such Collateral Loan to be pledged.

 

    53

     

    

 

(iii)        Until
such time as any Borrowing Base Deficiency has been cured in full and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower shall not request the right to transfer (by sale, dividend, distribution or otherwise), and the Borrower
shall not request that the Collateral Agent grant the release of any Lien on, or the transfer of, any Collateral Loan from the
Collateral, other than any transfer that complies with Section 10.01(a).

 

(d)          Additional
Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Sections 2.04(d)
and 2.10 and applied to the Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages.

 

Section
2.06.         Changes of Commitments

 

(a)          Automatic
Reduction and Termination.

 

(i)          The
Commitments of all Lenders shall be automatically reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m. on the Commitment Termination Date.

 

(ii)         If
the daily average aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Lenders for any period of three consecutive months ending on any Determination
Date exceeds 120% of the daily average of the Advances Outstanding during such period, then on such Determination Date, the aggregate
amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be automatically and permanently reduced (pro rata, based on each Lender’s
Percentage), to an aggregate amount equal to the greater of (x) 120% of the daily average of the Advances Outstanding during such
three-month period and (y) the Advances Outstanding on such Determination Date (such reduction, an “Automatic Commitment
Reduction”); provided that the Borrower may elect not to have such Automatic Commitment Reduction apply upon delivery
to Administrative Agent of written notice at least 10 Business Days prior to such Determination Date (subject to the increased
Commitment Fee Rate as described in such definition). Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, the occurrence of any
subsequent Automatic Commitment Reduction shall have no effect on the Commitment Fee Rate.

 

(b)          Optional
Termination or Reductions. Prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused
amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time without any fee or penalty, except as specified in Section 2.12(b),
upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders,
the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective
date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that any notice received after 3:00
p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day; provided, further, that (i) the amount of any such
reduction of the Facility Amount shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof or, if
less, the remaining unused portion thereof, and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of (x) the
aggregate principal amount of Advances Outstanding at such time and (y) the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount. Such notice of termination
or reduction shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian, and shall attach, in the case of a reduction of the Commitments, a Borrowing
Base Calculation Statement. Each reduction of Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be applied pro rata to reduce the
respective Commitments of each Lender.

 

    54

     

    

 

(c)          Effect
of Termination or Reduction. The Commitments of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction
of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments.

 

Section
2.07.         Maximum Lawful Rate

 

It is the intention
of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly,
anything herein or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received
from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess
of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured
Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of
the outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding.

 

Section
2.08.         Several Obligations

 

The failure of any
Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation
to make its Advance on such date. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary
or the Collateral Administrator, shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

 

Section
2.09.         Increased Costs

 

(a)          Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)          impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirement reflected
in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);

 

(ii)         subject
any Secured Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d)
of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) 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; or

 

(iii)        impose
on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense, affecting this Agreement or Advances
made by such Affected Person by reference to the LIBOR Rate or any participation therein;

 

    55

     

    

 

and the result of any
of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any
Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Advance) or to increase the cost to, or to reduce the amount of any payment
(whether of principal, interest, fees, compensation or otherwise) or sum received or receivable by, such Affected Person hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees, compensation or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person from time
to time after receipt of a written demand by a Responsible Officer of such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered within ten (10) days of
receipt of such demand. If a Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 2.09, the Borrower may, by
notice to such Lender, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Advances by reference to the LIBOR Rate, until
the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case (x) all Advances of such Lender to be
denominated in Dollars shall be made or continued by reference to the Base Rate and (y) such Lender shall have no obligation to
make any Advances by reference to the LIBOR Rate); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender
to receive the compensation so requested.

 

(b)          Capital
Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would
have (but for the operation of this Section 2.09) the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s
capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement (or arising
in connection herewith) or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected
Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s
policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity coverage)
by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then from time to time after demand by such Affected Person, the Borrower
will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such
Affected Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered or charge imposed within ten (10) days of receipt of such
demand.

 

(c)          Liquidity
Support. If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09,
any Affected Person is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement
or other similar support to such Affected Person in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder,
then the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected
Person for any amounts payable or paid by it.

 

(d)          Ratings.
If the Administrative Agent determines that it is necessary or appropriate to obtain a credit rating on the Advances, the Borrower
shall (x) provide (no later than 60 days following receipt by the Borrower of such reasonable request) at least one credit rating
agency designated by the Administrative Agent with all information and documents reasonably requested by such rating agency (to
the extent such information or documents are in the possession of or reasonably available to the Borrower) and otherwise cooperate
with such rating agency’s review of the Facility Documents and transactions contemplated hereby, and (y) pay the costs and
expenses of such rating agency in respect of the rating of the Advances.

 

(e)          Calculation.
In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.09, the Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Person making a claim under this Section 2.09, shall submit
to the Borrower a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Affected Person setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
and the computations of such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

 

    56

     

    

 

(f)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Affected Person right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required
to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior
to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Affected Person’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 six-month period referred to above shall be extended
to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

(g)          Lending
Office. Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender
pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce
or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation
is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage
(as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation
of any such provision.

 

(h)          After-Tax
Basis. The payment of amounts under this Section 2.09 shall be on an after Tax basis.

 

Section
2.10.         Compensation; Breakage Payments

 

The Borrower agrees
to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates (or the applicable date of prepayment) following such
Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts)
in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for all reasonable and documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including any
interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance bearing interest that was computed
by reference to the LIBOR Rate and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds
but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure
of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a Borrowing of any Advance
bearing interest that was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified
therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any
of the Borrower’s Advances bearing interest that was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate occurs on a date that is not
the last day of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, and (iii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance bearing interest that
was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate is not made on a Payment Date or pursuant to a Notice of Prepayment given by the Borrower.
A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with
a copy to the Agents, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting
such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.11.         Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates

 

(a)          Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Disruption Event, then the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Agents
and the Borrower thereof, and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the Adjusted Eurodollar
Rate shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

 

    57

     

    

 

(b)          Upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspending its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable
such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate; provided that such designation is
made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage
(as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation
of any such provision.

 

(c)          If,
prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Administrative
Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for the applicable
Advances, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect
to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent
will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction
of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

 

(d)          Upon
receipt of any notice described in Section 2.11(a) or (c), the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the making
or continuation of an Advance based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request
into a request for an Advance based on the Base Rate.

 

Section
2.12.         Fees

 

(a)          Commitment
Fee. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis)
a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum, for each day during the related Interest
Accrual Period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Final Maturity Date, of the product of (i) the Commitment
Fee Rate, divided by 360 and (ii) the Unused Amount, in each case for each such day during the related Interest Accrual
Period.

 

(b)          Prepayment
Fee. If, at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Facility Amount is reduced in whole or in part
at the option or election of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a
pro rata basis), a prepayment fee (a “Prepayment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Prepayment Fee Rate multiplied
by (ii) the Facility Amount. Such Prepayment Fee shall be payable on the date of the termination of this Agreement (in the
event this Agreement is terminated in whole) or on the first Payment Date immediately succeeding the reduction of the Facility
Amount (in the event the Facility Amount is reduced in part).

 

(c)          Administrative
Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time
to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

 

(d)          Collateral
Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent,
the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from
time to time by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary,
including the fees set forth in the Collateral Administration and Agency Fee Letter.

 

    58

     

    

 

Section
2.13.         Rescission or Return of Payment

 

The Borrower agrees
that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made
by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make
such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded
or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement and any other applicable Facility Document shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section
2.14.         Default Interest

 

During the existence
and continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, all Obligations (other
than principal and interest on the Advances, where the default rate is reflected in the Applicable Margin) shall bear interest
at the Default Rate until rescinded by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall
be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

Section
2.15.         Payments Generally

 

(a)          All
amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other
Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement
or any other Facility Document, shall be paid on behalf and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf
of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Priority of Payments to the applicable recipient in Dollars in
immediately available funds, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff,
deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral
Agent. Other than with respect to payments on a Payment Date, payments must be received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to
3:00 p.m. on a Business Day to be remitted by the Collateral Agent on such Business Day to the Lenders; provided that payments
received by the Collateral Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business
Day. At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by
the Borrower hereunder.

 

(b)          Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of
a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance
shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which
it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(c)          All
payments under the Facility Documents shall be made in USD.

 

    59

     

    

 

Section
2.16.         Replacement of Lenders

 

(a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) any Affected Person shall request reimbursement for amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.09 (each such Affected Person, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (ii)
the Borrower shall be required to reimburse any Affected Person for any Non-Excluded Taxes or pay any additional amounts to any
Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 12.03 (each such
Affected Person, also a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (such Defaulting
Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”) or (iv) any Lender does not give or approve any consent,
waiver or amendment that requires the approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and has
been approved by the Required Lenders (such non-consenting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”),
the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, shall be permitted, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Potential
Terminated Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), to require such Potential Terminated Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all
of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 12.03) and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 12.06 (a “Replacement
Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that:

 

(A)         such
Potential Terminated 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 and under the other Facility Documents (including
any amounts under Section 2.10 but subject to Section 2.17) from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(B)         in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.09 or 12.03, such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 

(C)         such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

 

(D)         in
the case of an assignment based on clause (iv) above, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment,
waiver or consent.

 

(b)          Each
Potential Terminated Lender hereby agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to permit
a Replacement Lender to succeed to its rights and obligations hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment to a Replacement
Lender, (i) such Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Facility Documents, (ii) the applicable Potential Terminated Lender shall have no further Commitment hereunder (such Person, a
“Terminated Lender”) and (iii) such Replacement Lender shall have a Commitment in the amount not less than the
Terminated Lender’s Commitment assumed by it.

 

(c)          No
Lender shall be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to Section 2.16(a) if, prior thereto, as a result
of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease
to apply.

 

Section
2.17.         Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)          Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(b), to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law:

 

(i)          Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.01.

 

    60

     

    

 

(ii)         Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) shall be applied
at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no
Event of Default exists and is continuing), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined
by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any
Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
fifth, so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or
as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall
be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of
any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held)
to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be deemed paid
to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)        Certain
Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.12(a) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.

 

(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject
to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances
of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances
Outstanding to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease
to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except
to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

    61

     

    

 

Section
2.18.         Right of Setoff

 

The Borrower agrees
that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off that the Agents or any Lender may otherwise have, each of
the Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled, at its option, to offset amounts owing by the Agents or such Lender, as the case
may be, to the Borrower, in USD or in any other currency (irrespective of the place of payment or booking office of the obligation
and regardless of whether such amounts are then due to the Borrower), against any amount payable by the Borrower to the Agents
or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement that is not paid when due. For this purpose, any amount owing by the Agents
or any Lender to the Borrower may be converted by the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, into the currency in which the
amount payable by the Borrower to the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement is denominated at the rate
of exchange at which the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith,
to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.

 

Section
2.19.         Contractual Currency

 

To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the currency in which a payment is required
by this Agreement is to be made by the Borrower (the “Contractual
Currency”) is rendered:

 

(a)          for
the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement; or

 

(b)          in
respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in the foregoing clause (a),

 

the recipient of such
payment, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which the recipient of such payment is entitled pursuant to the judgment
or order, will be entitled to receive promptly from the Borrower the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received
by the recipient of such payment as a consequence of sums being paid in such other currency if such shortfall arises or results
from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment
or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which the recipient of such payment is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual
Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by the recipient of such payment. The term
“rate of exchange” includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion
into the Contractual Currency.

 

To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the obligations in this Section constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations
in this Agreement and any related document, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding
any indulgence granted by the recipient of such payment and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being
made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement or any related document. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
the Borrower hereby waives the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility.

 

Section
2.20.         Lending Offices; Changes Thereto

 

Each Lender may at
any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule
1, one or more domestic or foreign lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include branches or Affiliates of the respective
Lender) for the various Advances made by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act
as such); provided that, for designations made after the Closing Date to the extent such designation shall result in increased
costs under Section 2.09 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending
office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess
increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated
to pay the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described
above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated
as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall
be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder) and any designation of a lending
office pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay any Obligations in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

 

    62

     

    

 

Section
2.21.         [Reserved].

 

Section
2.22.         [Reserved].

 

Section
2.23.         Recourse Against Certain Parties.

 

Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the
Borrower (and not any of its Affiliates or any other party) payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the Priority
of Payments and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority
of Payments and, subject to Section 2.13, all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection
herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer,
director, employee, shareholder, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective
successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.23 shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement
which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced
by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.23 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise
of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability
shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

Schedule 6 hereto, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents in accordance
with the terms thereof;

 

(ii)         after
the Closing Date with respect to each additional Advance:

accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

(B)         to
fund additional extensions of credit under Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans held by the Borrower,

falling no more than five and no less than one Business Day prior to the Commitment Termination Date with a Requested Amount sufficient
to fully fund the Unfunded Reserve Account to the extent required under Section 8.05).

 

Without limiting the
foregoing, it shall use the proceeds of each Advance in a manner that does not, directly or indirectly, violate any provision of
its Constituent Documents or any Applicable Law, including Regulation T, Regulation U and Regulation X. Further, the Borrower shall
not use the proceeds of any Advance in a manner that would cause such credit extension to become a “covered transaction”
as defined in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 371c) and Regulation W (12 C.F.R. Part 223), including any
transaction where the proceeds of any Advance are used for the benefit of, or transferred to, an affiliate of a Lender.

 

(g)          Information
and Reports. Each Notice of Borrowing, each Monthly Report, each Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, each Payment Date Report
and all other written information, reports, certificates and statements furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Secured
Party for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date such information is stated or certified
and the delivery by or on behalf of the Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Monthly Report, Borrowing Base Calculation Statement,
Payment Date Report or other written information, reports, certificates and statements shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that such information is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date such information
is stated or certified.

 

(h)          No
Other Business. The Borrower shall not engage in any business or activity other than (i) borrowing Advances pursuant to this
Agreement, funding, acquiring, owning, holding, administering, selling, enforcing, lending, exchanging, redeeming, pledging, contracting
for the management of and otherwise dealing with Collateral Loans, Eligible Investments and the Collateral in connection therewith
and entering into the Facility Documents, any applicable Related Documents and any other agreement contemplated by this Agreement
and (ii) other activities that are incidental to the activities specified in clause (i).

 

    79

     

    

 

(i)          Tax
Matters. The Borrower shall (and each Lender hereby agrees to) treat the Advances and the Notes as debt for U.S. federal income
tax purposes and will take no contrary position, unless otherwise required pursuant to a closing agreement with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service or a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contrary agreement or understanding,
the Equityholder, the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders
(and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation
of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. The foregoing
provision shall apply from the beginning of discussions between the parties. For this purpose, the tax treatment of a transaction
is the purported or claimed U.S. tax treatment of the transaction under applicable U.S. federal, state or local law, and the tax
structure of a transaction is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. tax treatment of the
transaction under applicable U.S. federal, state or local law. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Borrower shall remain
disregarded as an entity separate from its sole owner, the Equityholder, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3.
The Equityholder shall remain a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

 

(j)          Collections.
The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall direct any agent or administrative agent for any Collateral Loan to
remit all payments and collections with respect to such Collateral Loan and, if applicable, to direct the Obligor with respect
to such Collateral Loan to remit all such payments and collections with respect to such Collateral Loan directly to the Collection
Account. The Borrower shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections to the Collection Account by the close of business
on the Business Day following the date such Collections are received by the Borrower, the Equityholder, the Collateral Manager
or any of their respective Affiliates.

 

(k)          Priority
of Payments. The Borrower shall instruct in writing (or cause the Collateral Manager to instruct in writing) the Collateral
Agent to apply all Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds solely in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the other provisions
of this Agreement.

 

(l)          Acquisition
of Collateral Loans from the Equityholder. Any acquisition of Collateral Loans by the Borrower from the Equityholder or an
Affiliate thereof shall be for fair market value and no adverse selection procedures shall be employed by the Borrower (or the
Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) in selecting the Collateral Loans for acquisition.

 

(m)          Credit
and Collection Policy. The Borrower will (i) comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard
to the Collateral, (ii) furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to its effective date prompt written notice of
any changes relating to its corporate finance business in the Credit and Collection Policy, and (iii) furnish to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders copies of all other changes in the Credit and Collection Policy. The Borrower will not agree to or otherwise
permit to occur any material change (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) in the Credit and Collection
Policy relating to its corporate finance business without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders; provided that no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with any
change mandated by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, as evidenced by a written opinion of counsel, which opinion shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to that effect delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether any such proposed change is material and adverse to the interests
of the Lenders within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice with respect thereto. The Borrower shall promptly forward copies
of the amended Credit and Collection Policy reflecting any changes thereto to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the
Lenders.

 

    80

     

    

 

(n)          Further
Assurances. The Borrower shall deliver all such further instruments and take all such further actions that the Administrative
Agent deems reasonably necessary or desirable in order to maintain and protect the Collateral Agent’s first-priority perfected
security interest in the Collateral.

to Data Site. The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Collateral Manager to, (a) maintain the Data Site and (b) grant access
to the Data Site to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and each Lender
or prospective Lender; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to grant access to the Data Site to (i) any Disqualified
Person or (ii) any Person that has not agreed to be bound by confidentiality requirements that are consistent with Section 12.09
or are otherwise satisfactory to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager. The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Collateral Manager
to, to the extent posting such information would not result in a breach by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager of its respective
confidentiality obligations, post the information described in Section 5.01(d)(xii) for each Collateral Loan to the Data
Site.

 

(p)          Delivery
of Loan Files. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver to the Custodian (with a copy
to be posted by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) to the Data Site) for each Collateral Loan,
each item referenced in the definition of “Loan File”; provided that, other than as set forth above with respect
to any original assignment of any Collateral Loan or any original executed promissory note with respect to any Collateral Loan
(each of which shall be delivered to the Custodian in sealed envelopes labeled appropriately), the requirements set forth in this
Section 5.01(p) shall be satisfied by providing electronic copies of any Required Loan Document to the Custodian; provided,
further, that any filed stamped document included in any Loan File shall be delivered as soon as they are reasonably available
(but in no event later than 30 Business Days after the related Borrowing Date). Neither the Custodian nor the Collateral Administrator
shall have any obligation to review any of the documents delivered to it hereunder

 

(q)          Certificate
of Assignment for Closing Date Participation Interests. Not later than the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date
(or such longer period to which the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall deliver to the Custodian and the Administrative
Agent a copy of the fully executed assignment agreement assigning the Collateral Loans related to the Closing Date Participation
Interests directly to the Borrower, certified by an officer of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower)
and written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower is recognized as the owner of record by the related
administrative agent in respect of the Related Documents.

 

(r)          Beneficial
Ownership Regulation. Promptly following any request therefor, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent information
and documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purpose of compliance with the Beneficial
Ownership Regulation.

 

(s)          Delivery
of Additional Information. The Borrower shall deliver to any Agent or any Lender (i) promptly following any request therefor,
any information and documentation reasonably requested by such Agent or Lender for purposes of compliance with applicable “know
your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
and (ii) prompt written notice of any change in the information provided in the Beneficial Ownership Certification delivered to
the Administrative Agent or such Lender that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in such certification.

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution)
in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement including without limitation the following powers: (i) to give
any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the
Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all
necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition,
the Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant
hereto, (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Facility Document and (v)
to exercise directly the Collateral Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, including the exercise of rights
set forth in Section 6.02(b), if and to the extent that the Collateral Manager has not complied with any direction given
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after the Business Day on which such
direction was given to the Collateral Manager; provided that no such direction or lapse of time shall be required after
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Collateral Manager Default. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative
Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

 

(b)          No
person to whom this power of attorney is presented as authority for the Administrative Agent to take any action or actions contemplated
by clause (a) shall inquire into or seek confirmation from the Borrower as to the authority of the Administrative Agent to take
any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to the power of attorney described in clause
(a), which is intended to grant to the Administrative Agent unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated
herein, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower irrevocably waives any right to commence any suit or action,
in law or equity, against any person or entity that acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power
of attorney. The power of attorney granted in clause (a) is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or canceled
by the Borrower until all obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Documents have been Paid in Full and the Administrative
Agent has provided its written consent thereto.

 

    92

     

    

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall only be exercisable after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Agreement, the Related Documents for each Collateral Loan, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing
or guarantying any Collateral Loan and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding
any Excluded Taxes or Retained Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). The parties hereto agree that such collateral
assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Payment in Full of all outstanding
Obligations.

 

Section
7.02.         Release of Security Interest

 

If and only if all
Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of the same to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly execute, deliver and authorize for filing
such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request in order to reassign, release or terminate the Secured Parties’
security interest in the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall also promptly release or terminate the Secured
Parties’ security interest in the Collateral in connection with any sale of Collateral permitted under this Agreement. The
Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately and automatically
terminate without further act, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide notice of the same to the Collateral Agent, and
the Collateral Agent shall, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and authorize
for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and
all actions under this Article VII in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty
by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

 

Section
7.03.         Rights and Remedies

 

(a)          The
Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Collateral Agent or its designees (which may include, without limitation, the Collateral Agent) shall, acting solely at the
written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent, (i) instruct the
Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other document relating to the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (ii) sell or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral, all without judicial process or proceedings; (iii) take control of the Proceeds of any such Collateral;
(iv) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Documents, exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the
Collateral; (v) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral;

any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (x) make copies of all books, records and

or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor. In the absence of written direction of the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall take no action. The Collateral Agent
shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or any other party for any action taken or omitted to be
taken at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent) or any inaction
in the absence thereof.

 

    94

     

    

 

(b)          The
Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are
necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the
actions described in clauses (a) through (b) of this Section 7.03 the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of
the Obligations remain unpaid (other than unasserted contingent obligations)), with power of substitution, in the name of the Collateral
Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as expressly required by Applicable Law, without notice to the
Borrower. Such appointment shall in no way impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligation to take any such action unless specifically
directed to do so and subject to the receipt of an indemnity from the Lenders reasonably satisfactory to it.

 

Section
7.04.         Remedies Cumulative

 

Each right, power,
and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall
be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agents
or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

 

Section
7.05.         Related Documents

 

(a)          Each
of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related
Documents, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of the
Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the Administrative Agent all material information and notices which it receives under
or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral, and (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative
Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents
relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable discretion).

 

    95

     

    

 

(b)          The
Borrower agrees that, to the extent the same shall be in the Borrower’s possession, it will hold all Related Documents relating
to the Collateral in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and upon request of the Administrative Agent
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, promptly deliver the
same to the Collateral Agent or its designee. In addition, in accordance with this Agreement, promptly (and in any event within
five (5) Business Days) following its acquisition of any Collateral Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Custodian the
Required Loan Documents.

 

Section
7.06.         Borrower Remains Liable

 

(a)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in and relating
to the Collateral (including the Related Documents) to the extent set forth therein, and shall perform all of its duties and obligations
under such contracts and agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and (ii) the exercise by any
Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any such
contracts or agreements included in the Collateral.

 

(b)          No
obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under
or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including
under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under
provisions of Law, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

 

Section
7.07.         Protection of Collateral

 

The Borrower shall
from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such UCC-1
financing statements and continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other
action as may be necessary to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:

 

(a)          grant
security more effectively on all or any portion of the Collateral;

 

(b)          maintain,
preserve and perfect any grant of security made or to be made by this Agreement including the first-priority nature of the Lien
(subject to Permitted Liens) or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

 

(c)          perfect
or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made by this Agreement (including any and all actions necessary or desirable
as a result of changes in Applicable Law);

 

(d)          enforce
any of the Collateral or other instruments or property included in the Collateral;

 

(e)          preserve
and defend title to the Collateral and the rights therein of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the Collateral against
the claims of all third parties; and

 

(f)          pay
or cause to be paid any and all Taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Collateral.

 

If the Borrower fails
to prepare and file any instrument or to take any action required pursuant to this Section 7.07 within ten (10) Business
Days after the Administrative Agent’s request and written instruction therefor, the Borrower hereby designates the Collateral
Agent as its agent to prepare and file such instrument and take such action required pursuant to this Section 7.07. The
Borrower further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements therefor,
that name the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party and that describes “all assets in which the debtor
now or hereafter has rights” (or words of similar effect) as the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a grant
of security hereunder. Such designation shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.07.

 

    96

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, not earlier than six (6) months and not later than one (1) month prior to the
fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of any financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement authorize, deliver and
file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to each such financing statement.

ACCOUNTS,
ACCOUNTINGS AND RELEASES

 

Section
8.01.         Collection of Money

 

Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent may and the Collateral Agent shall at the direction of the Administrative Agent
(or the Required Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent) demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect,
directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable
to or receivable by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all payments due on the Collateral, in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received
by it in trust for the Secured Parties and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement. Each Covered Account shall be established
and maintained under the Account Control Agreement with a Qualified Institution. Any Covered Account may contain any number of
subaccounts for the convenience of the Collateral Agent or as required by the Collateral Manager for convenience in administering
the Covered Account or the Collateral.

 

Section
8.02.         Collection Account

 

(a)          In
accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date,
establish at the Custodian one (1) segregated trust account, (including any sub-accounts deemed appropriate or necessary by the
Custodian, for convenience in administering such account), which will collectively be designated the “Collection Account”,
which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be
subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Collection Account promptly
upon receipt thereof all Interest Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Collateral Manager. The
Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof all Principal Proceeds
(unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X or required to be deposited
in the Unfunded Reserve Account pursuant to Section 8.05) received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the
Collateral Manager. All funds deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be held on
behalf of the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided.

 

    97

     

    

 

(b)          At
any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article X, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower (subject
to compliance with Article X) may, by delivery of written instructions (which may be a .pdf or similar file sent by email)
of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral
Agent to, and upon receipt of such instructions the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Collection Account
representing Principal Proceeds (together with accrued interest received with regard to any Collateral Loan and Interest Proceeds
but only to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Loan) and reinvest such funds in additional
Collateral Loans in accordance with such instructions. If at any time the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is
less than the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) may, by delivery of written
instructions (which may be a .pdf or similar file sent by email) of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager to the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such instructions the Collateral Agent
shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and remit such funds as so directed
by the Collateral Manager to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving
Collateral Loans.

 

(c)          The
Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Collection Account from the other Collection Account for application pursuant to Section
9.01(a), on each Payment Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date.

Section
8.04.         [Reserved.]

 

Section
8.05.         The Unfunded Reserve Account; Fundings

 

In accordance with
this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the
Custodian one (1) segregated trust account, which shall be designated as the “Unfunded Reserve Account”, which
shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject
to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Unfunded Reserve Account shall
be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

On the date of acquisition
by the Borrower of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan, Revolving Collateral Loan, and on any Payment Date, the Collateral Manager
shall instruct the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Collection Account for deposit into the Unfunded Reserve Account,
to the extent required so that the amount of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is equal to the Unfunded Reserve
Required Amount.

 

During the Reinvestment
Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts
on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account (in an amount equal to the amount on deposit therein with respect to such Delayed Drawdown
Collateral Loan or Revolving Collateral Loan), then available Principal Proceeds and finally, borrowing of Advances
under Section 2.01.

 

During the Amortization
Period, Principal Proceeds received by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) in respect of Revolving Collateral
Loans (to the extent not accompanied by a permanent reduction in the related commitments) shall be deposited by the Borrower (or
the Collateral Manager on its behalf) into the Unfunded Reserve Account.

 

Amounts on deposit
in the Unfunded Reserve Account will be available solely to cover drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving
Collateral Loans; provided that, to the extent that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit therein at any time exceeds
the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Agent shall remit such excess to the Collection Account. In addition, following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, funds in the Unfunded Reserve Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and deposited
into the Collection Account at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Section
8.07.         Account Control Agreement.

 

The provisions of Sections 8.02 and
8.05 are subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

 

Section
8.08.         Funds in Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent

 

(a)          By
delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Collateral
Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall at all times direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such certificate, the
Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Unfunded Reserve Account in Eligible Investments
having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided
herein). If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have given any such investment directions,
the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three (3) Business Days after transfer of any funds
to such accounts and shall invest in Eligible Investments that mature overnight until it shall receive written instructions from
the Collateral Manager. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall invest
and reinvest such funds as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments as described in clause (a) of the definition thereof
or as otherwise directed by the Collateral Manager maturing not later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the date of
such investment (unless putable at par to the issuer thereof) or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date
(or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest,
gain, loss and other income from such investments shall be deposited, credited or charged (as applicable) in and to the Collection
Account. Absent its timely receipt of such instruction from the Collateral Manager or Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance
with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be under an obligation to invest (or pay interest on) funds held hereunder.
The Collateral Agent shall in no way be liable for any insufficiency in a Covered Account resulting from any loss relating to any
such investment.

 

(b)          The
Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice if any Covered Account or any funds on deposit in any Covered Account,
or otherwise to the credit of a Covered Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution
or similar process. All Covered Accounts shall remain at all times with the Custodian.

 

(c)          The
Collateral Agent shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained
by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the
Collateral Loans, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available
to the Collateral Agent and required to be provided by Section 8.09 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations
hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent
shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices, periodic financial reports and other writings received by it
from the Obligor of any Collateral Loan or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Loan.

 

    99

     

    

 

Section
8.09.         Accountings

 

(a)          Monthly.
Not later than ten (10) Business Days following the last calendar day of each calendar month (other than the months for which a
Payment Date Report is delivered) (the “Monthly Reporting Date”), the Borrower shall compile and provide (or
cause to be compiled and provided) to the Administrative Agent and the Equityholder a monthly report (which includes a Borrowing
Base Calculation Statement prepared by the Collateral Manager and provided to the Collateral Administrator for inclusion in the
Monthly Report) (each, a “Monthly Report”) in accordance with this Section 8.09. The Borrower shall
compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator a
loan data file (the “Data File”) for the previous monthly period ending on the Monthly Report Determination
Date (containing such information agreed upon by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), the Collateral Administrator
and the Administrative Agent). The Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) the Data File no later than ten (10) Business
Days following the Monthly Report Determination Date. As used herein, the “Monthly Report Determination Date”
with respect to any calendar month will be the fifteenth day of the prior calendar month. The first Monthly Report shall be delivered
on May 12, 2017 and shall be determined with respect to the Monthly Report Determination Date that is April 15, 2017. The Monthly
Report for a calendar month shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral
Manager, the Equityholder and the Administrative Agent and shall contain the information with respect to the Collateral Loans and
Eligible Investments included in the Collateral set forth in Schedule 2 hereto, and shall be determined as of the Monthly
Report Determination Date for such calendar month.

 

(b)          Payment
Date Accounting. The Borrower shall render (or cause to be rendered) an accounting (each, a “Payment Date Report”),
determined as of the close of business on each Determination Date preceding a Payment Date, and shall deliver such Payment Date
Report to the Agents and the Equityholder not later than the second Business Day preceding the related Payment Date. The Payment
Date Report shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder, the Collateral
Administrator and the Administrative Agent and shall contain the information set forth in Schedule 3 hereto.

 

In addition, the Borrower
shall provide (or cause to be provided) in each Payment Date Report a statement setting forth in reasonable detail each amendment,
modification or waiver under any Related Document for each Collateral Loan that constitutes a Material Modification that became
effective since the immediately preceding Payment Date Report (or, in respect of the first Payment Date Report, from the Closing
Date) unless previously disclosed under Section 5.01(d)(vii) or 8.09(a).

 

The first Payment Date
Report shall be delivered on June 13, 2017, shall be determined with respect to the Determination Date that is June 8, 2017, and
shall be used in connection with the payments to be made on the Payment Date that is June 15, 2017.

 

(c)          Failure
to Provide Accounting. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section 8.09
on the first Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall notify
the Borrower, who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Payment Date.

 

For the avoidance of
doubt, the Borrower has engaged the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Article XV hereof to compile and provide the information
and reports to be provided in this Section 8.09; provided, however, that the Collateral Administrator’s
obligation to compile and provide such information and reports is subject to the receipt of the information necessary to do so
from the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent.

Section
8.10.         Release of Collateral

 

(a)          If
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Manager delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Custodian at least one (1) Business Day prior to the settlement
date for any sale of any item of Collateral certifying that the sale of such Collateral is being made in accordance with Section 10.01
and such sale complies with all applicable requirements of Section 10.01, direct the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian
on its behalf) to release or cause to be released such item from the Lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such certificate,
the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall deliver any such item, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the
broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer
thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Collateral Manager in such certificate;
provided that the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian on its behalf) may deliver any such item in physical form for examination

unasserted contingent obligations), execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and
reasonably necessary to release any remaining Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement.

 

(e)          Any

by Independent Accountants

 

(a)          The

specializing in securitization transactions (together with its successors, the “Independent
Accountants”), in each case reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, for purposes of reviewing and delivering
the reports of such accountants required by this Agreement, which may be the firm of independent certified public accountants,
independent auditors or independent consultants that performs accounting services for the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager
may remove any firm of Independent Accountants at any time upon notice to, but without the consent of, the Administrative Agent.
Upon any resignation by such firm or removal of such firm by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall promptly appoint,
by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager delivered to the Agents, a successor thereto that shall also
be a firm of independent certified public accountants, independent auditors or independent consultants of recognized standing,
which may be a firm of independent certified public accountants, independent auditors or independent consultants that performs
accounting services for the Collateral Manager. The fees of such Independent Accountants and any successor shall be payable by

(b)          The
Collateral Manager will cause the Independent Accountants to furnish to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral
Agent) within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (starting with the fiscal year ending 2019), to the effect
that such firm has applied certain agreed-upon procedures approved by the Administrative Agent (as such agreed-upon procedures
may be updated from time to time in response to reasonable requests of the Administrative Agent) with respect to a selection of
Monthly Reports and/or Payment Date Reports from the related fiscal year, as applicable, and, with respect to the Collateral Manager’s
performance hereunder, to assist the Administrative Agent in determining that the Monthly Reports and Payment Date Reports for
the related fiscal year, as applicable, were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes
to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s report (including, with respect to any such
exceptions, an explanation of how each such exception arose and reflecting the input/explanation of the Collateral Manager thereto).
Such reports pursuant to this clause (b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.

 

(c)          In
the event the Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to this Section 8.11 require the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator,
as applicable, to agree to the procedures performed by such Independent Accountants with respect to any of the reports, statements
of such Independent Accountants, or sign any agreement in connection therewith, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator,
as applicable, is hereby directed by the Borrower, to so agree to the terms and conditions requested by such Independent Accountants
as a condition to receiving documentation required by this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent
and the Collateral Administrator shall deliver such agreement in conclusive reliance on such direction and shall make no inquiry
or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or responsibility in respect of, the terms of the engagement of such Independent
Accountants by the Borrower or the sufficiency, validity or correctness of the agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement.
The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator may require the delivery of a written direction to the execution of any such
agreement required for the delivery of any report or statement of such Independent Accountants to the Collateral Agent and the
Collateral Administrator under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are hereby authorized, without
liability on their part, to execute and deliver any such agreement with such Independent Accountants, which agreement, to the extent
so directed by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), may include, amongst other things, (i) an acknowledgement
that the Borrower has agreed that the procedures by such Independent Accountants are sufficient for the relevant purposes, (ii)
releases by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator of any claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of or relating
to such Independent Accountant’s engagement, agreed-upon procedures or any report or statement issued by such Independent
Accountants under any such engagement and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of such Independent Accountants
and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of any such reports, statements or other information or documents provided
to it by such Independent Accountants.

THE
AGENTS

 

Section
11.01.         Authorization and Action

 

(a)          Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are
delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject
to the terms hereof. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other
Facility Documents to which it is a party or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of such Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Facility Document to which such Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. No Agent shall have
or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document and the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility
Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain
from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required
Lenders (or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent); provided that such Agent shall not be required
to take any action which exposes such Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this
Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under
any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide
that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative
Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide
instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

 

(b)          If
the Collateral Agent has been requested or directed by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action pursuant
to any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or such Facility Document in the manner so requested unless it shall
have been provided indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by
it in compliance with or in performing such request or direction. No provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document
shall otherwise be construed to require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action that could in
its judgment cause it to incur any cost, expenses or liability, unless it is provided indemnity acceptable to it against any such
expenditure, risk, costs, expense or liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or obligation
to take any action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any other Facility
Document or any Related Document unless and until directed by the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf).

 

(c)          Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such
Person in accordance with any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders or Persons purporting to be the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice. If any
dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under
any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein
commence an action for interpleader.

 

(d)          If
in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action,
it 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. 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.

 

(e)          Instructions
to Collateral Agent.

 

    108

     

    

 

(i)          The
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions)
from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary. In the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to any Proper Instruction
of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

 

(ii)         Whenever
the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated
by this Agreement, it shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it
and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required
to be produced or distributed by the Collateral Agent it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the
Borrower, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement.

 

(iii)        In
case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking
any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral
Agent shall, in the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, have no liability, risk or
cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

(i)          The
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent or unless (and then only to the extent) received in writing by the Collateral Agent
and specifically referencing this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any notices, documents,
instruments or reports delivered or prepared by the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent is not responsible for or chargeable
with knowledge of any terms or conditions contained in any other agreement to which it is not a party referred to herein. It is
hereby acknowledged that the Collateral Agent shall have no 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 by any Person under any Facility Document or Related Document.

 

(ii)         No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear
from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished
with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings
in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder,
or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

 

    109

     

    

 

(iii)        The
permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

 

(iv)        The
Collateral Agent may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and the Collateral Agent
shall not be liable or responsible for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney-in-fact selected by it with reasonable
care.

 

(v)         The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Interest Rate or whether an asset is an Eligible Collateral Loan.

 

Section
11.02.         Delegation of Duties

 

(a)          Each
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

(b)          Without
limiting the generality of Section 11.02(a), the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time designate one or more
of its Affiliates to execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document.

 

Section
11.03.         Agents’ Reliance, Etc.

 

(a)          Neither
Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their
own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult
with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates) and independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by such Agent in good faith in accordance with such
opinion and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person
and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written
or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor,
ascertain, or investigate as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the
other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion,
direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other Person or to inspect
the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible to
any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency
or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral), this Agreement,
the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v)
shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by
refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base
Calculation Statement), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may
be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believe by
it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements,
information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection,
collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required
to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any
Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vii) shall not have any obligation whatsoever
to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any
liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any
of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower,
any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Collateral Manager’s, any Lender’s, or any other Person’s,
as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement
or any other Facility Document.

 

    110

     

    

 

(b)          No
Agent shall be liable for the actions of omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under
any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement,
any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. In the absence of gross negligence, fraud
or willful misconduct by such Agent, each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness
of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder).
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon
it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of
the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding
its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders
to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders, as applicable). No Agent
shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant
facts or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct. Nothing herein or in any Facility Document or Related Document shall obligate
any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur
any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. No Agent shall be liable for any indirect,
special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood
thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually
known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent
at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed
to be a duty to act. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document.
Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or
for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case
of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

 

(c)          No
Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, provided that
such Agent takes commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance after the cessation of such acts. Such acts shall include
acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication
line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

 

    111

     

    

 

(d)          The
delivery of reports and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Facility Document
is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s, receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. The Collateral Agent
is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly
stated in such Facility Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of
the rights, benefits, protections and indemnities which are afforded to it in this Agreement.

 

(e)          Each
Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty
to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the
affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to
any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, and made its
own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager. Neither Agent
shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Collateral Manager which may
come into the possession of such Agent.

 

Section
11.04.         Indemnification

 

Each of the Lenders
agrees to indemnify and hold the Agents harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section
12.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action
taken or omitted by the Agents under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that
no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion
of such Liabilities unless such Liabilities are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent as a result of
any action taken, or not taken, by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Lenders,
as the case may be, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that
the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement
at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (or other Persons authorized or permitted under the
terms hereof to make such request or give such direction) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, unless the
Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) and Liabilities which
might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, whether such indemnity is provided under this
Section 11.04 or otherwise). The rights of the Agents and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section
11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of the any Agent hereunder.

Section
11.05.         Successor Agents

 

(a)          Subject
to the terms of this Section 11.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower,
resign as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders
shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does
not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation, such Agent may appoint a successor agent. 

 

(b)          Any
successor Administrative Agent and any successor Collateral Agent shall be a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code) and shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of such bank and a “financial
institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 (as in effect on the date hereof). The appointment
of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if an Event
of Default shall have occurred and is continuing. Any resignation or removal of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment
of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation
or removal hereunder as Agent, the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.

 

(c)          Subject
to the terms of this Section 11.05(c) the Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Collateral
Manager, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, remove and discharge the Collateral Agent from the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents without cause at any time. If the Collateral
Agent shall be removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), then the Administrative Agent during such thirty (30) day period
shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The appointment of any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c)
shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing)
and the Required Lenders. If the Collateral Agent is removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall
be removed in all other capacities in which it serves under this Agreement and under any of the other Facility Documents (including
in its capacity as Custodian), but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable. Any removal of the Collateral
Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant
to this Section 11.05(c) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. After the effectiveness of any removal
of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable)
and the provisions of this Article XI and Section 11.05(c) shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility
Documents. In the event a successor Collateral Agent shall not be appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Collateral
Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

of such Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section
11.07.         Titles

ARTICLE
XII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section
12.01.         No Waiver; Modifications in Writing

 

(a)          No
failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, and
any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document from the terms of any provision of this
Agreement or such other Facility Document, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which

the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(b)          No
amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Collateral
Manager, the Equityholder, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders; provided that:

 

(i)          any
Fundamental Amendment shall require the written consent of all Lenders (or, in the case of clauses (a) through (d) of the definition
of Fundamental Amendment, in addition to the consent of the foregoing, each Lender directly affected thereby);

 

(ii)         no
such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder
without the prior written consent of such Agent;

Section
12.02.         Notices, Etc.

 

(a)          Except
where telephonic instructions are authorized herein to be given, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required
or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, and
shall be (i) personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission,
or by prepaid courier service, or by electronic mail (if the recipient has provided an email address) to the address, facsimile
number or email address, as applicable, set forth with respect to such party on Schedule 8 (or, if not provided on Schedule
8 with respect to any party, such address, facsimile number or email address provided by such party in writing to the Administrative
Agent), (ii) in the case of notices to any Lender, posted to Intralinks® (to the extent such system is available and set up
by or at the direction of Administrative Agent prior to posting) in an appropriate location by uploading such notice, demand, request,
direction or other communication to www.intralinks.com, faxing it to 866-545-6600 with an appropriate bar-code fax coversheet or
using such other means of posting to Intralinks® as may be available and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
prior to such posting, or (iii) in the case of notices to any Lender, posted to any other electronic system approved by or set
up by or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, and shall in each case be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement
on the day that such writing is received by the intended recipient thereof or posted in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 12.02. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12.02, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective
parties hereto at their respective addresses (or to their respective facsimile numbers or email addresses) indicated in Schedule
8 (or, if not provided on Schedule 8 with respect to any party, such address, facsimile number or email address provided
in writing by such party to the Administrative Agent), and, in the case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone

Agent in writing of any changes in the address, facsimile number, telephone number or email address to which notices to such Person

(b)          Each
of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator hereby agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions
pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail (or .pdf files of executed documents), facsimile transmission or other similar
unsecured electronic methods, provided that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to any of
the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, an incumbency certificate listing such designated
persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.
If any party hereto elects to give any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, e-mail
(or .pdf files of executed documents) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Collateral
Agent’s, the Custodian’s or the Collateral Administrator’s understanding of such instructions actually received
by any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall be deemed controlling in the
event that such instructions are ambiguous; provided that prior to acting in response to any such instructions that it deems to
be ambiguous, the Collateral Agent, Custodian or Collateral Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contact
the instructing party and obtain from such instructing party any necessary clarifications with respect to such instructions. Each
of the other parties hereto understands and agrees that the none of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator
can determine the identity of the actual sender of such instructions and that the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral
Administrator shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an officer listed on the incumbency
certificate provided to it have been sent by such officer. The other parties hereto shall be responsible for ensuring that only
authorized officers transmit such instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that
each such party is solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords
and/or authentication keys upon receipt by it. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall
be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodian’s
or the Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable, good faith reliance upon and compliance with such instructions,
notwithstanding that such directions conflict with or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, subject to the duty
of care applicable to such Person acting in such capacity. Each of the other parties hereto agrees (i) to assume all risks arising
out of its respective use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to any of the Collateral Agent, the
Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, including without limitation the risk of any of the Collateral Agent,
the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception
and misuse by third parties, (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of
transmitting Instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that there may be more secure
methods of transmitting instructions than the method(s) selected by it, (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed
in connection with its transmission of instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its
particular needs and circumstances and (iv) to notify the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator immediately
upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section
12.03.         Taxes

 

(a)          Any
and all payments by, or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility Document shall be made without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative
Agent, then the applicable Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (as
applicable) 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 a Non-Excluded Tax, then the sum payable
by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions
and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)          In
addition, the Borrower agrees to timely pay (or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment
of) any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording or filing taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges or similar Taxes or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Facility
Document, or from the execution, delivery, performance enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security
interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or under any other Facility Document, except any such Taxes
that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.16 or
Section 12.03(g)) (collectively, the “Other Taxes”).

 

(c)          The
Borrower agrees to indemnify, within ten (10) days after demand therefor each of the Secured Parties for (i) the full amount of
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 12.03) paid or payable by any Secured Party (or required to be withheld or deducted from payments
to a Secured Party) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof and the amount of such payment or liability will be promptly delivered to the
Borrower 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 or other Secured Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)          Promptly
after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 12.03, the Borrower will furnish to each Agent the original
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence of
payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to such Agent).

 

    116

     

    

 

(e)          If
any payment is made by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to or for the account of any Secured Party after
deduction for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.03, then, if such Secured Party in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith,
determines that it has received a refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Secured Party shall, to the extent that
it can do so without prejudice apply for such refund and reimburse the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager, as applicable) such
amount of any refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to Taxes giving rise to
such refund) received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including Taxes, incurred and without interest, other than interest
received by the applicable Secured Party from the relevant Governmental Authority) as such Secured Party shall determine in its
sole discretion, but acting in good faith, to be attributable to the relevant Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes; provided
that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees
to return the amount paid to such Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event
will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment
of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if
the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

 

(f)          Each
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement
or any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or such Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, each Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent
as will enable the Borrower or such 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 sub-clauses (A), (B) and (D) of Section
12.03(f)(i)) 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.

 

(i)          Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing.

 

(A)         any
Lender that is a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents on or
prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Agents), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
backup withholding tax;

 

(B)         any
Lender that is not a “United States person” under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”)
shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or an Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

    117

     

    

 

(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 Facility Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 Facility Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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)         executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(iii)        in
the case of a Non-U.S. 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 E-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(C)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C)
of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

 

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

 

(C)         any
Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Agents), 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 Borrower or the Agents to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)         if
a payment made to a Lender under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agents such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Agents as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agents 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.

 

    118

     

    

 

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

 

(g)          If
any Secured Party requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Secured Party or any Governmental Authority for the
account of such Secured Party or to indemnify such Secured Party pursuant to this Section 12.03, then such Secured Party
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Secured Party determines,
in its sole discretion that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section
12.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Secured Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Secured Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Secured
Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(h)          Nothing
in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(i)          Each
Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes, as applicable, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable
to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(c) 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 such Agent in connection
with any Facility 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 applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes
each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable
by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this paragraph (i).

 

Section
12.04.         Costs and Expenses; Indemnification

 

(a)          The
Borrower agrees to promptly pay on written demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents,
the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation,
reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the reasonable and documented
fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent plus, if necessary, one additional local counsel, one
outside counsel for the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator (unless one
counsel shall not be able to represent such parties due to an actual or perceived conflict of interest), costs and expenses of
creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing
and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, UCC filing fees, and the equivalent thereof in
any foreign jurisdiction, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith, and in connection with the administration
and any modification or amendment of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents as to their
respective rights, remedies and responsibilities. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on written demand all reasonable and documented
costs and expenses of each of the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any other
Facility Document, including all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Custodian
in connection with the preservation, collection, foreclosure or enforcement of the Collateral subject to the Facility Documents
or any interest, right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent or in connection with the collection or enforcement of any of the
Obligations or the proof, protection, administration or resolution of any claim based upon the Obligations in any insolvency proceeding,
including all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and
other professionals engaged by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder,
the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any applicable bankruptcy law.

 

    119

     

    

 

(b)          The
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party, each Conduit Trustee, and each of their Affiliates and the respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified
Party (limited, solely in the case of Liabilities owing to the Administrative Agent in respect of attorney’s fees and expenses,
to the reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses of one outside counsel and one local counsel in each applicable
jurisdiction), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance,
administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related
Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated),
including any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of any one or more of the following:
(i) preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this
Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any
breach or alleged breach of any covenant by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager contained in any Facility Document; (iii) any
representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager contained in any Facility Document or
in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith is, or is alleged to be, false or misleading; (iv) any
failure by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to comply with any Applicable Law or contractual obligation binding upon it;
(v) any failure to vest, or delay in vesting, in the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a perfected security
interest in all of the Collateral free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); (vi) any action or omission, not expressly
authorized by the Facility Documents, by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower which has the effect of impairing the validity
or enforceability of the Collateral or the rights of the Agents or the other Secured Parties with respect thereto; (vii) the failure
to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction
or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Law with respect to
any Collateral, whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time; (viii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other
than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) of an Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral (including a defense
based on any Collateral Loan (or the Related Documents evidencing such Collateral Loan) not being a legal, valid and binding obligation
of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent such unenforceability is due to the bankruptcy
of such Obligor), or any other claim resulting from any related property securing such Collateral Loan; (ix) the commingling of
Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds; (x) any failure by the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value
to the applicable seller, in consideration for the transfer by such seller to the Borrower of any item of Collateral or any attempt
by any Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer under any statutory provision or common law or equitable action, including
any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; (xi) the failure of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective agents
or representatives to remit to the Collection Account, within one (1) Business Day of receipt, Collections on the Collateral Loans
remitted to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any such agent or representative as provided in this Agreement; and (xii) any
Default or Event of Default; in each case, except (A) to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person
controlling any of, the foregoing, (B) to the extent any such Liability results from a claim brought by the Borrower against an
Indemnified Party (other than the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator) for material breach of such
Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final, nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (C) to the extent any such Liability
results from a claim solely between or among Indemnified Parties (other than any claims against an Indemnified Party in its capacity
or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Custodian, Securities Intermediary, Collateral Administrator
or any similar role) and not arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or their respective
Affiliates. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity
shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s
equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party
hereto. The Borrower shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects
any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there is a final
judgment for the party claiming against such Indemnified Party, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent set forth in this Section 12.04(b). 
The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened
proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. In no case shall the Borrower
be responsible for any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or lost profits. This Section 12.04(b) shall not apply with
respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

    120

     

    

 

(c)          Indemnity
by Equityholder. The Equityholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all
Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection
with any acts or omissions of the Equityholder in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document
or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated), including
(but not limited to) any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of any one or more
of the following: (i) any breach or alleged breach of any covenant by the Equityholder contained in any Facility Document; (ii)
any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Equityholder contained in any Facility Document or in any certificate,
statement or report delivered in connection therewith is, or is alleged to be, false or misleading; (iii) any failure by the Equityholder
to comply with any Applicable Law or contractual obligation binding upon it; and (iv) any action or omission, not expressly authorized
by the Facility Documents, by the Equityholder or any Affiliate of the Equityholder which has the effect of impairing the validity
or enforceability of the Collateral or the rights of the Agents or the other Secured Parties with respect thereto; except to the
extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely
from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing. In the case of an investigation, litigation
or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by the Equityholder, any of the Equityholder’s equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified
Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Equityholder shall not have any
liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects any settlement of a matter that is (or
could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Equityholder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Equityholder
agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment to the
extent set forth in this Section 12.04(c).  The Equityholder shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party
(or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought)
and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement
as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
In no case shall the Equityholder be responsible for any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or lost profits. This Section
12.04(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from
any non-Tax claim.

Section
12.05.         Execution in Counterparts

 

This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts,
when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute
but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

Section
12.06.         Assignability

 

(a)          Subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 12.06, each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, assign to any Person (other than to a Disqualified Person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Advances Outstanding or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions
of its Commitment); provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been granted by the Borrower if the Borrower shall
not have objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of receipt of any such request for consent; and provided, further,
that:

 

(i)          each
of the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed and (B) shall not be required if the assignee is (1) a Lender or any of its Affiliates or (2) managed by a Lender or
any of its Affiliates;

 

(ii)         the
Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.06(a) shall not be required if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(iii)        notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each Lender may make an assignment to any Person (which each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts
to make such assignment to a Person who is not a Disqualified Person) without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent if such Lender makes a reasonable determination that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited
by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule); and

 

    122

     

    

 

(iv)        any
CP Lender may make an assignment to its Conduit Support Provider, any other CP Lender for which the Conduit Support Provider of
such assignor or an Affiliate thereof is the Conduit Support Provider, its Program Manager or any other CP Lender for which such
assignor’s Program Manager or an Affiliate thereof is the Program Manager, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent.

 

The parties to each
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) an Assignment and Acceptance
and the applicable tax forms required by Sections 12.03(f), together with administrative details for the applicable assignee
(if such assignee is not a current Lender or an Affiliate of Citibank, N.A.). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
12.06, (x) no assignment may be made to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, and (y) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting
Lender, a natural person or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described
in this clause (y).

 

(b)          The
Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders.

 

(c)          (i)          Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to Participants in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(C) the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary 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, and (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 12.06(c), Section 12.06(e),
Section 12.09 and Section 12.16. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment. Sections 2.09, 2.10, and 12.03 shall apply to each
Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section; provided
that (x) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 12.03(f) as if it were an assignee
under clause (a) of this Section and (y) no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.09, 2.10,
or 12.03 which is greater than the amount the related Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions
if the applicable participation had not occurred.

 

(ii)         In
the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender as nonfiduciary
agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Advances held by it and
the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the
“Participant Register”). An Advance may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation
on the Participant Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide). The Participant Register shall be available for
inspection by the Administrative Agent and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice and shall be available to any Lender
(as to itself but not as to any other Lender or Agent) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower to the extent necessary for the Borrower to establish
that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 of the United States Treasury Regulations
or for the Borrower, any Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary to satisfy any information
reporting requirement with respect to payments made to such Participant. 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.

 

    123

     

    

 

(d)          The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain
at its address specified in Section 12.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing
to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement, each signature page hereto, each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it, and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names, addresses and wiring instructions of
the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding maintained by each Lender under this Agreement
(and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part
only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note with respect to the Advances, if any, shall expressly
so provide) and compliance with this Section 12.06.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document and each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must
at all times be an “accredited investor” as defined in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company
Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”). Each Lender represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party
to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date
on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is an Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser and it is not a Disqualified
Person. Each Lender further agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its Advances or Commitments,
as applicable, to any Person unless such Person is an Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser.

 

(f)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 12.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(g)          The
Administrative Agent and each assignor of Advances or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively
on a representation of the assignee Lender or Participant, as applicable, in the relevant Assignment and Acceptance or participation
agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is not a Disqualified Person; provided that such reliance by such
assignor or seller is in good faith and reasonable under the circumstances. Upon reasonable request by any Lender, the Administrative
Agent shall provide, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to provide, the list of Disqualified Persons
to any Lender upon such Lender’s request therefor. Any assignment to a Disqualified Person or grant or sale of participation
to a Disqualified Person in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender
or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant, as applicable, is a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect
to or arising out of any assignment of Advances or any participation, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified
Person.

Information”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Secured Party from disclosing any Borrower Information
(a) as reasonably required to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents (i) to any Secured
Party or any Affiliate of a Secured Party or (ii) any of their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, auditors,

Conduit Support Providers, any Conduit Rating Agency (including its professional advisors), any Conduit Trustee and any Affiliates
of any such party (collectively, the “Secured Party Representatives”), it being understood that the Persons
to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep

Borrower Information only in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and not for any other purpose, to
any actual or bone fide prospective permitted assignees and Participants in any of the Secured Parties’ interests under or

notify the Borrower and the Collateral Manager in advance of such pending disclosure), (d) that is a matter of general public knowledge
or that has heretofore been made available to the public by any Person other than any Secured Party or any Secured Party Representative

to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Secured Party Representatives (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the

the Borrower or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with
the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder
or (h) with the consent of the Borrower.

Section
12.18.         Special Provisions Applicable to CP Lenders.

 

(a)          Each
of the parties hereto (each, a “Restricted Person”) hereby agrees that it will not institute against any CP
Lender, or encourage, cooperate with or join any other Person in instituting against any CP Lender, any proceeding seeking a judgment
of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors'
rights, present a petition for the winding up or liquidation of any CP Lender or seek the appointment of an administrator, provisional
liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for any CP Lender or for all or substantially all
of its assets prior to the date that is two years and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect)
after the last day on which any Commercial Paper Notes shall have been outstanding.

 

(b)          Provided
that the Restricted Person has complied with clause (a), nothing in clause (a) above shall limit the right of any Restricted Person
to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any proceeding of the type described in clause (a) above that
was instituted against any CP Lender by any person other than such Restricted Person.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of any CP Lender under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations
of such CP Lender and, in the case of obligations of any CP Lender other than Commercial Paper Notes, including the obligations
under this Agreement, shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to such CP Lender in excess of funds
necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper Notes or other short-term funding backing its Commercial Paper Notes
and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against
such CP Lender but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101
of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper Notes.

 

    129

     

    

 

(d)          No
recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any CP Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator,
stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of such CP Lender or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity)
by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly
agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of any such CP Lender individually, and that no personal
liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of such
CP Lender or any agent thereof or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason
of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such CP Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that
any and all personal liability for breaches by any CP Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common
law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent
is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement, provided that the foregoing
shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions
made by them. No CP Conduit shall or shall be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless (x) such CP Conduit
has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay other debt of such CP Conduit
pursuant to the program documents governing such CP Conduit’s operations and (y) after giving effect to such payment, either
(A) such CP Conduit could issue its Commercial Paper Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Commercial Paper Notes (assuming
such outstanding Commercial Paper Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such CP Conduit’s
operations or (B) all of such CP Conduit’s Commercial Paper Notes are paid in full. Prior to the commencement of any insolvency
proceeding by or against a CP Conduit, any amount that such CP Conduit does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding
sentence shall not constitute a claim against or obligation of such CP Conduit for any such insufficiency unless and until such
payment may be made in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

(e)          Each
CP Lender may act hereunder by and through its Program Manager.

 

(f)          Each
of the parties hereto waives any right to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits and any other indebtedness
at any time held or owing thereby to or for the credit or the account of any CP Lender against and on account of the obligations
and liabilities of such CP Lender to such party under this Agreement.

 

(g)          No
pledge and/or collateral assignment by any CP Lender to a Conduit Support Provider or Conduit Trustee of an interest in the rights
of such CP Lender in any Advance funded by such CP Lender and the Obligations shall constitute an assignment and/or assumption
of such CP Lender's obligations under this Agreement, such obligations in all cases remaining with such CP Lender. Moreover, any
such pledge and/or collateral assignment of the rights of such CP Lender shall be permitted hereunder without further action or
consent and any such pledgee may foreclose on any such pledge and perfect an assignment of such interest and enforce such CP Lender's
right hereunder, provided that any such foreclosure, perfection on an assignment or enforcement shall be subject to the
assignment provisions of Section 12.06.

 

(h)          Each
CP Lender or its Program Manager shall determine and announce to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower the CP Rate for each
Advance or portion thereof that is made by such CP Lender to the extent such CP Lender is funding the applicable Advance or portion
thereof through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error.

each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Facility

conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or any other Facility Document; or

 

(C)         the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

Files delivered to it for all Collateral Loans owned by the Borrower at any time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement (which shall include any addendum hereto which is hereby incorporated herein and made
a part of this Agreement), and the Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the services and duties set
forth in this Agreement with respect to it, subject to and in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(b)          Instructions.
The Borrower agrees that it shall from time to time provide, or cause to be provided, to the Custodian all necessary instructions
and information, and shall respond promptly to all inquiries and requests of the Custodian as may reasonably be necessary to enable
the Custodian to perform its duties hereunder.

 

    131

     

    

 

(c)          Custodian.
The Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Loan Files delivered by the Borrower hereunder in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, in order to perfect
under the UCC the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In taking and retaining
custody of the Loan Files, the Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties; provided that the Custodian makes (a) no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility for the enforceability,
completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral Loans and (b) no representation
as to the existence, perfection or priority of any lien on the Collateral Loans or the Required Loan Documents. It is expressly
agreed and acknowledged that the Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of
the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Loans.

 

Section
13.02.         Duties of Custodian

 

(a)          Segregation.
All Loan Files held by the Custodian for the account of the Borrower hereunder shall be (a) subject to the lien of the Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, (b) physically segregated from other loans and non-cash property in the possession of the
Custodian and (c) identified by the Custodian as subject to this Agreement.

 

(b)          Register.
The Custodian shall maintain a register (in book-entry form or in such other form as it shall deem necessary or desirable) of the
Collateral Loans for which it holds Loan Files under this Agreement containing such information as the Borrower and the Custodian
may reasonably agree; provided that, with respect to such Collateral Loans, all Loan Files shall be held in safekeeping
by the Custodian, individually segregated from the securities and investments of any other Person and marked so as to clearly identify
such Loan Files as the property of the Borrower as set forth in this Agreement.

 

Section
13.03.         Delivery of Collateral Loans to Custodian.

 

(a)          The
Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (which may be via email, except for the
original promissory note, if any) promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt) to the Custodian all of
the Loan Files for each Collateral Loan owned by the Borrower at any time during the term of this Agreement at the address identified
herein. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any Collateral Loan or related Loan File until actually received by it. In connection
with each delivery of a Loan File to the Custodian, the Borrower shall represent and warrant that the Loan Files delivered to the
Custodian are complete in all material respects. The Custodian shall notify the Collateral Administrator of the Custodian’s
receipt of any sealed envelopes described in Section 5.01(p) purporting to contain any original assignment of any Collateral
Loan or any original executed promissory note with respect to any Collateral Loan.

 

(i)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, delivery of the Collateral Loans acquired by the Borrower which constitute Noteless Loans or which
are otherwise not evidenced by a “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47)
of the UCC, respectively, shall be made by delivery to the Custodian of a copy of the loan register with respect to such Noteless
Loan evidencing registration of such Collateral Loan on the books and records of the applicable Obligor or bank agent to the name
of the Borrower (or its nominee) or a copy (which may be a facsimile copy) of an assignment agreement in favor of the Borrower
as assignee. Any duty on the part of the Custodian with respect to the custody of such Collateral Loans shall be limited to the
exercise of reasonable care by the Custodian in the physical custody of the related Loan Files delivered to it.

 

    132

     

    

 

(ii)         In
the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Custodian, the Custodian may assume the genuineness of any
document in a Loan File it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be
entitled to assume that each document it may receive is what it purports to be on its face. If an original “security”
or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become
available with respect to any Collateral Loan to be held by the Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility
of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any
time to determine whether any such original “security” or “instrument” has been or is required to be issued
or made available in respect of any Collateral Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian.

 

Section
13.04.         Release of Documents/Control By Agents.

 

(a)          The
Custodian shall release and ship for delivery, or direct its agents or sub-custodians to release and ship for delivery, as the
case may be, Loan Files of the Borrower held by the Custodian, its agents or its sub-custodians from time to time upon receipt
of Proper Instructions (specifying, among other things, the Collateral Loans and Loan Files to be released and delivery instructions
and other information as may be necessary to enable the Custodian to release and ship such Loan Files), which may be standing instructions
(in a form acceptable to the Custodian) in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(b)          Upon
receipt by the Custodian from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent),
of written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default indicating the Administrative Agent’s intent to prohibit the Custodian
from accepting instructions from or on behalf of the Borrower (each such notice, a “Block Notice”), the Custodian
shall no longer accept or act upon Proper Instructions or other instructions from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its
behalf) hereunder with respect to the Collateral Loans or the Loan Files. From and after its receipt of a Block Notice, the Custodian
shall only comply with Proper Instructions from the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or Administrative
Agent.

 

Section
13.05.         Records.

 

The Custodian shall
create and maintain complete and accurate records relating to its activities under this Agreement with respect to the Collateral
Loans or other property of the Borrower held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement.
All such records shall be the property of the Borrower and, upon reasonable advance notice, shall at all times during the regular
business hours of the Custodian be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of the Borrower, the Collateral
Agent and the Administrative Agent.

 

Section
13.06.         Reporting

 

(a)          If
requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Custodian shall render an itemized report of the
Loan Files held pursuant to this Agreement as of the end of each month and such other matters as the parties may agree from time
to time in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)          The
Custodian shall have no duty or obligation to undertake any market valuation of the Collateral Loans under any circumstance.

 

    133

     

    

 

Section
13.07.         Certain General Terms

 

(a)          No
Duty to Examine Related Documents. Nothing herein shall obligate the Custodian to review or examine the terms of any underlying
instrument, certificate, credit agreement, indenture, loan agreement, promissory note or any other document contained in the Loan
Files evidencing or governing any Collateral Loan to determine the validity, sufficiency, marketability or enforceability of any
Collateral Loan (and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or completeness thereof) or otherwise.

 

(b)          Resolution
of Discrepancies. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in any report provided by the Custodian
to the Borrower and any information contained in the books or records of the Borrower, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager,
on behalf of the Borrower) shall promptly notify the Custodian thereof and the parties shall cooperate to diligently resolve the
discrepancy.

 

(c)          Improper
Instructions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action (or
forebear from taking any action), which it reasonably determines to be contrary to the terms of this Agreement or Applicable Law.
In no instance shall the Custodian be obligated to provide services on any day that is not a Business Day.

 

(d)          Proper
Instructions.

 

(i)          Each
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower will give a notice to the Custodian, in a form acceptable
to the Custodian, specifying the names and specimen signatures of Persons authorized to give Proper Instructions (collectively,
“Authorized Persons” and each, an “Authorized Person”) which notice shall be signed by an
Authorized Person set forth on Schedule 9 or otherwise previously certified to the Custodian. The Custodian shall be entitled
to rely upon the identity and authority of such Persons until it receives written notice from an Authorized Person of the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, to the contrary. The initial Authorized Persons are set forth
on Schedule 9 attached hereto and made a part hereof (as such Schedule 9 may be modified from time to time by written
notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager as applicable, to the Custodian).

 

(ii)         The
Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower (or any other Person) and shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Borrower in the event that a subsequent written confirmation of an oral instruction fails to conform to the oral instructions
received by the Custodian. The Custodian shall not have an obligation to act in accordance with purported instructions to the extent
that they conflict with Applicable Law or regulations. The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting from a delay while
it obtains clarification of any Proper Instruction.

 

(e)          Evidence
of Authority. The Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any instruction, notice, request, consent, certificate instrument
or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly executed or otherwise given by or on behalf of the Borrower,
the Collateral Manager or Administrative Agent, as applicable, by an Authorized Person thereof. The Custodian may receive and accept
a certificate signed by any Authorized Person as conclusive evidence of:

 

(i)          the
authority of any Person to act in accordance with such certificate; or

 

(ii)         any
determination or of any action by such Person as described in such certificate, 

 

    134

     

    

 

and such certificate may be considered as in full
force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary from an Authorized Person of the Borrower, the
Collateral Manager or Administrative Agent, as applicable.

 

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

 

(g)          In
the event that (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian or the Collateral Agent shall

(b)          Instructions.

 

(i)          The
Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions)
from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf), the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent,
as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary, and shall be entitled to require, upon notice to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, that Proper Instructions to it be in writing. In the absence of gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct of the Custodian, the Custodian shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action)
taken pursuant to any Proper Instruction of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent,
as applicable.

 

(ii)         Whenever
the Custodian is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated by
this Agreement, it shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and
otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required to
be produced or distributed by the Custodian it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Borrower,
and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement.

 

(iii)        In
case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Custodian may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking
any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Custodian

the Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

(i)          The
Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, statement,
certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it (including any of the
foregoing provided to it by telecopier or electronic means), not only as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the
truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented
by the proper person (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of the Borrower shall be an Authorized Person); and
the Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority of any signature appearing thereon. The Custodian
shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement,
certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document; provided that if the form thereof
is specifically prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall examine the same to determine whether it substantially
conforms on its face to such requirements hereof.

 

(ii)         Neither
the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment, or for any act
done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake of fact or
law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action constitutes gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct on its part and in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Custodian shall not be liable for any
action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to
any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction
or instruction required hereby for such action.

 

    136

     

    

 

(iii)        In
no event shall the Custodian be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) whether
or not it has been advised of the likelihood of such damages.

 

(iv)        The
Custodian may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel selected in good faith with respect to any question as to any
of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, or any matter relating hereto, and the written opinion or advice of such counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Custodian in
good faith in accordance with the opinion and directions of such counsel; the reasonable cost of such services shall be reimbursed
pursuant to Section 13.08(b) and (c) above.

 

(v)         The
Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by an officer
charged with responsibility for administering this Agreement or unless (and then only to the extent) received in writing by the
Custodian and specifically referencing this Agreement.

 

(vi)        No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from
action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished
with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Custodian to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings
in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder,
or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

 

(vii)       The
permissive right of the Custodian to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

 

(viii)      The
Custodian may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys, and the Custodian shall not be liable
or responsible for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney selected by it with reasonable care.

 

(ix)         The
Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, provided
that the Custodian takes commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance after the cessation of such acts. Such acts shall
include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication
line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

 

(x)          All
indemnifications contained in this Agreement in favor of the Custodian shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Article XI shall be afforded
to the Custodian.

 

    137

     

    

 

(xii)        The
Custodian shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished to
it in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document or Related Document. The Custodian 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 by any
Person under any Facility Document or Related Document. The Custodian shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate
or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person
or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions
related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. The Custodian shall not have any
obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or
insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled
to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure
or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto.

 

(d)          Indemnification;
Collateral Agent’s Lien.

 

(i)          The
Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian for and from any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), and any and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”),
that may arise, be brought against or incurred by the Custodian, as a result of, relating to, or arising out of this Agreement,
or the administration or performance of the Custodian’s duties hereunder, or the relationship between the Borrower and the
Custodian created hereby, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses as are caused by the Custodian’s
own actions constituting gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, after the receipt of a
Block Notice, the parties hereto agree that the Lenders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian and its directors, officers,
employees and agents from and against any and all Losses incurred as a result of the Custodian’s compliance with the Collateral
Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s (each acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) direction or instruction
in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent due to the Custodian’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud)
solely to the extent that such Losses shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower.

 

(ii)         Each
of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian hereby agrees that the Loan Files in respect of the Collateral Loans are
being held by the Custodian hereunder to perfect the lien of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral
Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including clauses (b) and (c) below), no resignation or removal of the Custodian
and no appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to this Article XIII shall become effective until the acceptance of
such appointment by the successor Custodian under Section 13.11 and the assumption by such successor Custodian of the duties
and obligations of the Custodian hereunder.

 

    138

     

    

 

(b)          The
Custodian may, at any time, resign under this Agreement by giving not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice thereof
to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)          The
Custodian may be removed at any time by the Administrative Agent (i) upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice (with the prior

and be continuing, or (B) the Custodian shall become incapable of acting or shall become the subject of an Insolvency Event.
Notice of any such removal shall be sent by the Administrative Agent to the Custodian, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Collateral
Manager.

 

(d)          If
the Custodian shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Custodian
for any reason (other than resignation with no replacement within 90 days), the Borrower shall, promptly after becoming aware of
such resignation, removal, incapacity or vacancy, appoint a successor collateral custodian by written instrument, executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, one copy of which shall be delivered to the retiring Custodian and one copy to the successor
Custodian, together with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided that such successor Custodian shall
be appointed only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event
of Default, the Collateral Manager (in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In
the case of a resignation by the Custodian, if no successor Custodian shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance
by a successor Custodian shall not have been delivered to the resigning Custodian and the Administrative Agent within 90 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Custodian or the resigning Custodian
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Custodian.

 

(e)          Upon
termination of this Agreement or resignation of the Custodian, the Borrower shall pay to the Custodian such compensation, and shall
likewise reimburse the Custodian for its reasonable and documented costs, expenses and disbursements, as may be due as of the date
of such termination or resignation (or removal, as the case may be) all in accordance with the Priority of Payments. All indemnifications
in favor of the Custodian under this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or any resignation or removal of
the Custodian.

 

(f)          In
the event of any resignation or removal of the Custodian, the Custodian shall provide to the Borrower a complete final report or
data file transfer of any Confidential Information as of the date of such resignation or removal.

Each successor Custodian
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the retiring Custodian an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Custodian shall become effective and such successor Custodian, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Custodian; but, on request of the
Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or the successor Custodian, such retiring Custodian shall (i) execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Custodian all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Custodian
and (ii) execute and deliver such further documents and instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably requested
in order to effect the transfer of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Custodian hereunder. Upon request of any such
successor Custodian, the Borrower shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Custodian all such rights, powers and trusts.

 

    139

to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

responsibilities, of Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(b)          Subcontracts.

relieved of, and shall remain liable for, the performance of the duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager pursuant to the
terms hereof without regard to any subcontracting arrangement and (iii) any such subcontract shall be subject to the provisions

Section 14.02.         Duties
of the Collateral Manager

 

(a)          Duties.
The Collateral Manager shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer

(i)          directing
the acquisition, sale or substitution of Collateral in accordance with Article X;

 

(ii)         supervising
the Collateral, including (A) communicating with Obligors; (B) subject to the provisos to this subclause (B), executing

(iii)        preparing

necessary or advisable for the services to be performed hereunder;

 

    140

     

    

 

(v)         promptly
delivering to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, from time to time, such information and servicing records (including
information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may from time
to time reasonably request;

 

(vi)        notifying
the Administrative Agent of any material action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim (A) that
is or is threatened to be asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Collateral Loan (or portion thereof) of which it has actual
knowledge or has received notice; or (B) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(vii)       maintaining
the perfected security interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral;

 

(viii)      instructing
the Obligors or, if applicable, the administrative agents on the Collateral Loans to make payments directly into the Collection
Account;

 

(ix)         complying
with such other duties and responsibilities as required of the Collateral Manager by this Agreement; and

basis, the Collateral Manager will provide to the Borrower, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent the
reports specified in Schedule 3 hereto.

 

It is acknowledged
and agreed that the Borrower possesses only such rights with respect to the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to
the Collateral Loans and the underlying assets securing such Collateral Loans under the Related Documents as have been transferred
to the Borrower with respect to the related Collateral Loan, and therefore, for all purposes under this Agreement, the Collateral
Manager shall perform its administrative and management duties hereunder only to the extent that, as a lender under the Related
Documents, the Borrower has the right to do so.

 

(b)          The
Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not have any obligation or liability
with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Collateral Manager

Collateral Manager shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer
viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters, provided that the Collateral Manager takes commercially reasonable efforts
to resume performance after the cessation of such acts and nothing herein shall prevent the occurrence of a Default, an Event of
Default or a Collateral Manager Default.

 

    141

     

    

 

Section 14.03.         Authorization
of the Collateral Manager

 

The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Collateral Manager to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in
the determination of the Collateral Manager and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Collateral by the Borrower to the Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing
its name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral
and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence
proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Collateral Manager could have done if
it owned such Collateral. The Borrower shall furnish the Collateral Manager (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Collateral Manager to carry out its collateral management duties hereunder,
and shall cooperate with the Collateral Manager to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral.
In no event shall the Collateral Manager be entitled to make the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
other Secured Party a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower
a party to any litigation (other than any foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s
consent. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default (unless otherwise waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section
12.01), the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders) may provide notice
to the Collateral Manager (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) that the Secured Parties are exercising their control rights with
respect to the Collateral in accordance with Section 6.02(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall
act solely on behalf of the Borrower as an independent contractor for the sole purpose of providing the services described herein.

 

Section
14.04.         Separateness Provisions of the Borrower.

 

The Collateral Manager
shall not in any way interfere with or frustrate the Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of Section 5.05 of this Agreement
or the Separateness Provisions.

 

Section 14.05.         Compensation

 

As compensation for
its administrative and management activities hereunder, the Collateral Manager or its designee shall be entitled to receive the
Collateral Management Fee pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

 

The Collateral Manager
may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably waive payment of any or all of any Collateral Management Fee otherwise due on
any Payment Date by notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent no later than the Determination
Date immediately prior to such Payment Date. Any such Collateral Management Fee, once waived, shall not thereafter become due and
payable and any claim of the Collateral Manager therein shall be extinguished.

 

The Collateral Manager
may, in its sole discretion, elect to defer payment of all or a portion of the Collateral Management Fee on any Payment Date by
providing written notice to the Collateral Agent of such election no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such
Payment Date. The Collateral Manager may elect to receive payment of all or any portion of the deferred Collateral Management Fee
on any Payment Date to the extent of funds available to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments by providing
notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of such election and the amount of such fees to be paid on or before
three (3) Business Days preceding such Payment Date.

 

If and to the extent
that there are insufficient funds to pay any Collateral Management Fee in full on any Payment Date or if any Collateral Management
Fee has accrued but is not yet due and payable, the amount due or accrued and unpaid will be deferred and will be payable on such
later Payment Date on which funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

    142

     

    

 

Section 14.06.         Expenses;
Indemnification

 

(a)          The
Collateral Manager shall be responsible for its expenses incurred by it in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(b)          The
Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Liabilities that may
be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with any acts
or omissions of the Collateral Manager in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or
any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated), including
(but not limited to) any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of any one or more
of the following: (i) any breach or alleged breach of any covenant by the Collateral Manager contained in any Facility Document;
(ii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Collateral Manager contained in any Facility Document or in any
certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith is, or is alleged to be, false or misleading; (iii) any failure
by the Collateral Manager to comply with any Applicable Law or contractual obligation binding upon it; (iv) any action or omission,
not expressly authorized by the Facility Documents, by the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager which
has the effect of impairing the validity or enforceability of the Collateral or the rights of the Agents or the other Secured Parties
with respect thereto; (v) the commingling by the Collateral Manager of Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds;
(vi) the failure of the Collateral Manager or any of its agents or representatives to remit to the Collection Account, within one
(1) Business Day of receipt, Collections on the Collateral Loans remitted to the Collateral Manager or any such agent or representative
as provided in this Agreement; and (vii) the treatment or representation, in any computations made by it in connection with any
Monthly Report, Payment Date Report, Borrowing Base Calculation Statement or other report prepared by it hereunder of any commercial
loans as Eligible Collateral Loans, which were Ineligible Collateral Loans as of the date of any such computation; except
(A) to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing, (B) to the extent
any such Liability results from a claim brought by the Collateral Manager against an Indemnified Party (other than the Collateral
Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator) for material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder
or under any other Facility Document, if the Collateral Manager has obtained a final, nonappealable judgment in its favor on such
claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (C) to the extent any such Liability results from a claim solely between
or among Indemnified Parties (other than any claims against an Indemnified Party in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or any similar role) and not arising out of any act or omission
on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or their respective Affiliates. In the case of an investigation, litigation
or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by the Collateral Manager, any of the Collateral Manager’s equityholders or creditors,
an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Collateral Manager
shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects any settlement of a
matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of
such settlement or judgment to the extent set forth in this Section 14.06(b).  The Collateral Manager shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably
have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. In no case shall the Collateral Manager be responsible for
any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or lost profits. This Section 14.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes

Section 14.07.         The
Collateral Manager Not to Resign; Assignment

 

(a)          The
Collateral Manager shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it.

 

(b)          The
Collateral Manager may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 14.08.         Appointment
of Successor Collateral Manager

 

(a)          Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (as directed by
the Required Lenders), with notice to the Borrower, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, may terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Collateral Manager as “Collateral Manager” under this Agreement. The Administrative
Agent, with notice to the Borrower, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, shall appoint a successor Collateral
Manager (the “Successor Collateral Manager”), which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, and such Successor Collateral Manager shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable
to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Until a successor Collateral Manager is appointed as set forth above, the Collateral
Manager shall (i) unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent, continue to act in such capacity in accordance with Section
14.02 and (ii) as requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (A) terminate some or all of its activities
as Collateral Manager hereunder by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as necessary or desirable, (B) provide such
information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities
to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof and (C) take all other actions requested by the Administrative Agent, in each
case to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof.

 

(b)          Upon
its appointment, the Successor Collateral Manager shall be the successor in all respects to the Collateral Manager with respect
to collateral management functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Collateral Manager by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the
Collateral Manager shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Collateral Manager; provided that the Successor Collateral
Manager shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the terminated Collateral Manager prior to the date
that the Successor Collateral Manager becomes the successor to the Collateral Manager or any claim of a third party based on any
alleged action or inaction of the terminated Collateral Manager, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the
Collateral Manager; provided that the Successor Collateral Manager shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable, (iii)
no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) no liability
or obligation with respect to any Collateral Manager indemnification obligations of any prior Collateral Manager, including the
original Collateral Manager.

 

    144

     

    

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Successor Collateral Manager is authorized to accept and rely on all of
the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Collateral Manager relating to the Collateral Loans
(collectively, the “Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof,
and such Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of
the prior Collateral Manager. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively,
“Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult
to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor Collateral Manager making or continuing any Errors (collectively,
“Continued Errors”), such Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability
for such Continued Errors; provided that such Successor Collateral Manager agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further
Continued Errors. In the event that the Successor Collateral Manager becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with
the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable
to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

or the Collateral Manager as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Administrator, or by the agents for the obligors from
time to time;

 

(iv)        track

Rates provided to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) and, if direct online viewing access to the foregoing

(b)          A
reasonably sufficient time prior to the date on which (i) each Monthly Report is required to be provided pursuant to Section
8.09(a) or (ii) each Payment Date Report is required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.09(b), the Collateral Administrator
shall calculate, using the information contained in the Collateral database created by the Collateral Administrator pursuant to
Section 15.02(a) above and any other Collateral information normally maintained by the Collateral Administrator, and subject
to the Collateral Administrator’s receipt from the Collateral Manager of the information required for the preparation of
the Monthly Report or the Payment Date Report, each item required to be stated in such Monthly Report or Payment Date Report in
accordance with this Agreement and provide the results of such calculations to the Collateral Manager so that the Collateral Manager
may confirm such results in accordance with Section 15.02(d). Upon approval by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator
shall deliver the Monthly Report or Payment Date Report, as applicable, to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder
and the Administrative Agent in a form mutually acceptable to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Administrator.

 

(c)          No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent
action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or fraud, except that:

 

(i)          this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 15.02;

 

    146

     

    

 

(ii)         the
Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral
Administrator, unless it shall be proven that the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct;

 

(iii)        no
provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated
hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to the
performance of its ordinary services under this Agreement; and

 

(iv)        in
no event shall the Collateral Administrator be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Collateral Administrator has been advised of the likelihood
of such damages and regardless of the form of such action.

 

(d)          The
Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described
herein, including calculations and information relating to the Monthly Reports and the Payment Date Reports or as otherwise reasonably
requested hereunder. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently the correct characterization
or categorization of any item of Collateral under this Agreement (it being understood that any such characterization or categorization
shall be based exclusively upon the determination and notification received by the Collateral Administrator from the Collateral
Manager). The Collateral Manager shall review and verify the contents of the aforesaid reports. To the extent any of the information
in such reports, instructions or certificates conflicts with information, data or calculations in the records of the Collateral
Manager, the Collateral Manager shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use commercially reasonable efforts
to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. The Collateral Administrator shall cooperate with the Collateral
Manager in connection with the Collateral Manager’s review of the contents of the aforesaid reports, instruction and certificates
and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such items to the Collateral Manager within a reasonably sufficient time
(as agreed between the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator) prior to any applicable due date to enable such review.
The Collateral Manager further agrees to send such reports, instructions, statements and certificates to the Borrower for execution.

 

(e)          The
Collateral Administrator shall have no obligation to determine the Asset Value or the price of any Collateral in connection with
any actions or duties under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Administrator or any of its Affiliates
from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person. 

 

(f)          The
Collateral Administrator shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager,
the Administrative Agent, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person,
and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate,
untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian (but only if
not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are
caused by the Collateral Administrator's own bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or reckless disregard of its
duties hereunder. The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for failing to perform or any delay in performing its specified
duties hereunder which results from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the
Administrative Agent, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person in furnishing
necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Administrator.

 

    147

     

    

 

(g)          It
is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower and the Collateral Manager that application and performance by the Collateral Administrator
of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall
be based upon, and in reliance upon, data and information provided to it by the Collateral Manager (and/or the Borrower) with respect
to the Collateral, and the Collateral Administrator shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data
provided to it by such Persons. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Administrator
to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any obligor
under the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such securities, from time
to time, the role of the Collateral Administrator hereunder being solely to perform certain mathematical computations and data
comparisons and to provide certain reports and other deliveries, as provided herein. For purposes of monitoring changes in ratings,
the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to use and rely (in good faith) exclusively upon one or more reputable electronic
financial information reporting services, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracies in the information reported by, or other
errors or omissions of, any such services.

 

(h)          Nothing
herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently any characteristic of a Collateral Loan, or to evaluate
or verify the Collateral Manager's characterization of any Collateral Loan, including whether any item of Collateral is a Broadly
Syndicated Loan, Caa/CCC Loan, Revolving Collateral Loan, Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan, Fixed Rate Obligation, Noteless Loan,
PIK Loan, DIP Loan, Related Loan, Eligible Collateral Loan, Ineligible Collateral Loan, Equity Security, First Lien Loan, Second
Lien Loan, Floor Obligation, Structured Finance Obligation, Certificated Security, Uncertificated Security or Covenant Lite Loan,
any such determination being based exclusively upon notification the Collateral Administrator receives from the Collateral Manager
or from (or in its capacity as) the Collateral Agent (based upon notices received by the Collateral Agent from the obligor, trustee
or agent bank under an underlying governing document, or similar source) and nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator
to review or examine any underlying instrument or contract evidencing, governing or guaranteeing or securing any Collateral Loan
in order to verify, confirm, audit or otherwise determine any characteristic thereof. In addition, the Collateral Manager shall
notify the Collateral Administrator of any Material Modification of a Collateral Loan.

(a)          The
Collateral Administrator may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

 

(b)          If,
in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of

two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Administrator may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain
from taking any such courses of action, provided that the Collateral Administrator shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,
notify the Collateral Manager of which course of action, if any, it has decided to take. The Collateral Administrator shall act
in accordance with instructions received after such two-Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed
itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

 

    148

     

    

 

(c)          Neither
the Collateral Administrator nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment,
or for any act done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake
of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action constitutes gross
negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on its part and in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Administrator
shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it,
or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason
of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

no event shall the Collateral Administrator be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost
profits), whether or not it has been advised of the likelihood of such damages.

Collateral Administrator may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel selected in good faith with respect to any question
as to any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, or any matter relating hereto, and the written opinion or advice of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the
Custodian in good faith in accordance with the opinion and directions of such counsel; the reasonable cost of such services shall
be reimbursed pursuant to Section 15.04 below.

Administrator and specifically referencing this Agreement.

 

(g)          No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Administrator to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or
forbear from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall
be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to commence, prosecute
or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect
to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

 

(h)          The
permissive right of the Collateral Administrator to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

 

(i)          The
Collateral Administrator may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Administrator
shall not be liable or responsible for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney selected by it with reasonable care.

 

(j)          The
Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its
control, provided that the Collateral Administrator takes commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance after the
cessation of such acts. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations
imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

 

    149

     

    

 

(k)          All
indemnifications contained in this Agreement in favor of the Collateral Administrator shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(l)          Each
of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Article XI shall be afforded to the
Collateral Administrator.

 

(m)          The
Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion
furnished to it in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document or Related Document. The Collateral Administrator
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 by any Person under any Facility Document or Related Document. The Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible to
any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or
in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document
or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of

created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising
at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available with respect thereto.

the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager) or (ii) at any time if (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, or (B) the Collateral Administrator shall become incapable of acting or shall become the subject of an Insolvency
Event. Notice of any such removal shall be sent by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower, the
Lenders and the Collateral Manager.

of the Collateral Administrator for any reason (other than resignation), the Borrower shall, promptly after becoming aware of such
resignation, removal, incapacity or vacancy, appoint a successor collateral administrator by written instrument, executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, one copy of which shall be delivered to the retiring Collateral Administrator and one copy
to the successor Collateral Administrator, together with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided that

in order to effect the transfer of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Collateral Administrator hereunder. Upon request

vesting in and confirming to such successor Collateral Administrator all such rights, powers and trusts.

act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

 

Section
15.08.         Certain Duties of Collateral Administrator Related to Delayed Payment

request the applicable Obligor or designated paying agent, as applicable, to make such payment (or identify such Collections) as
soon as practicable after such request but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the date of such request. In the
event that such payment is not made (or such Collections are not identified) within such time period, the Collateral Administrator,
subject to the provisions of this Article XV, shall take such reasonable action at the Borrower’s expense as the Collateral
Manager shall direct. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this
Agreement. All Collections that the Collateral Administrator is unable to identify as Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds shall
be held in the Collection Account.

 

Section
15.09.         Indemnification

 

(a)          The
Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Administrator for and from any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses), and any and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities
(collectively, “Losses”), that may arise, be brought against or incurred by the Collateral Administrator, as
a result of, relating to, or arising out of this Agreement, or the administration or performance of the Collateral Administrator’s
duties hereunder, or the relationship between the Borrower and the Collateral Administrator created hereby, other than such liabilities,
losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses as are directly caused by the Collateral Administrator’s own actions constituting
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, after the receipt of a Block Notice, the parties
hereto agree that the Lenders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Administrator and its directors, officers, employees
and agents from and against any and all Losses incurred as a result of the Collateral Administrator’s compliance with the
Collateral Agent’s (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) or the Administrative Agent’s
(acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) direction or instruction in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent
due to the Collateral Administrator’s willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence) solely to the extent that such Losses
shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower.
