rate on a Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some
of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable Laws, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate
is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no
longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administration, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London
interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR
Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.

(v) Fifth, at the option of the Borrower, to an optional prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in
such amount as the Borrower shall determine; and 
 (vi) Sixth, (A) if the Release Conditions are satisfied, as
directed by the Borrower and (B) otherwise, to repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. 
 Not less than five
(5) Business Days prior to each application of proceeds of the Funding Trust Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(a), the Borrower shall provide the Lender with written notice of such application, together with the amount to
be applied pursuant to each clause of Section 2.04(a) and, as applicable, a calculation demonstrating compliance with the Release Conditions, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. 

2.05 Repayment of the Loan. 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subordination Agreement and the Senior Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall, until such
time as all outstanding Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations (as defined in the Subordination Agreement)) shall have been paid in full, repay to the Lender the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on each of September 10, 2020,
December 10, 2020 and March 10, 2021, in an amount on each such date equal to $25,000,000 less any amount that has been applied to pay any Senior Obligations pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Senior Credit Agreement on such date. For
avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, accrued interest on any such principal payment shall not become due and payable at such time, and shall instead be payable

  
 24 

 
in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any date on which a payment of principal is required to be made pursuant to the first
sentence of this Section 2.05, less than the required payment amount of the principal balance of the Loan remains outstanding and unpaid, the Borrower shall pay the following obligations (if any) in the following order
until either the sum paid on such date equals the required payment amount for such date or all outstanding Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations (as defined in the Subordination Agreement)) have been paid in full: (A) outstanding
unpaid principal of the Loan, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan and (C) all other outstanding Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations (as defined in the Subordination Agreement)). The outstanding unpaid principal balance
of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan shall be due and payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date. If all of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and accrued interest on the Loan are fully repaid on any date, this
Agreement shall terminate as of such date. Any repayment or prepayment of the Loan that is allocated to the principal amount of the Loan shall reduce the Commitment of the Lender on a dollar for dollar basis. On each Scheduled Maturity Date prior to
the Final Maturity Date, Borrower shall provide written notice (an “Extension Notice”) to the Lender not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such Scheduled Maturity Date of the upcoming Scheduled Maturity Date, and,
subject to lender’s confirmation of receipt of such notice, such Scheduled Maturity Date shall be extended by one additional calendar year, unless the Lender shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, have delivered written notice declining
such Extension Notice not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to such Scheduled Maturity Date. If the Borrower fails to provide such Extension Notice (or fails to provide it not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such
Scheduled Maturity Date), then the Lender shall have the right to deliver a written notice declining any further extension (a “Non-Renewal Notice”) at any time prior to thirty
(30) calendar days after the Scheduled Maturity Date, and effective upon the delivery of such Non-Renewal Notice, (i) if delivered prior to the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date, then no extension
shall occur on the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date and such Scheduled Maturity Date shall constitute the Final Maturity Date, or (ii) if delivered after the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date, the date occurring two Business Days following
the date of such Non-Renewal Notice shall constitute the Final Maturity Date. If no Extension Notice or Non-Renewal Notice is delivered, the Scheduled Maturity Date
shall be extended by one additional calendar year. 
 2.06 Interest. 

(a) Accrued Interest. The Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the interest rate set out in the
definition of Accrued Interest. 
 (b) Interest Payment Dates. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subordination
Agreement, interest accrued on the Loan during each Interest Period shall be due and payable in cash on the following Interest Payment Date; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date to occur after the Completion Date shall occur on or
before June 30, 2019, on which date all interest accrued on the Loan from December 28, 2018 through the last Interest Payment Date will be due and payable. 

2.07 [Reserved]. 
 2.08
Computation of Interest and Fees. 
 All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). Subject to subject to Section 2.10(a), interest shall accrue on the Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day
on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any portion of the Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

  
 25 

 2.09 Evidence of Debt. 

The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan advanced by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however,
limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the reasonable request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a promissory note in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender (a “Note”), which shall evidence the Loan in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the Loan and
payments with respect thereto. 
 2.10 Payments Generally. 

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender at such account as the Lender shall specify to the Borrower in Dollars and in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If
any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(b) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for the Loan in any particular place or
manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for the Loan in any particular place or manner. 

ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD
PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. 

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Law. If any Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower
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 Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the
Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by
the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law any Other Taxes. 

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

  
 26 

 (d) Status of Lender. 

(i) If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan
Document it shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to
determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(d)(ii)(A), 3.01(d)(ii)(B) and 3.01(d)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission
would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower 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), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding
Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN 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; 

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

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

  
 27 

 (4) to the extent a Foreign 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 B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial
owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), 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 to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document
would be subject to 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 Internal Revenue Code,
as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower 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. 
 (iii) 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 in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund); provided that upon the request of the Recipient, Borrower agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the
Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient 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. 

  
 28 

 (f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this
Section 3.01 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 

(g) FATCA. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Laws” includes FATCA. 

3.02 [Reserved]. 
 3.03
[Reserved]. 
 3.04 Increased Costs. 

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the One Month Adjusted LIBOR); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified 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, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or the Loan; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Loan to the
extent the interest thereon is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to increase the cost to the Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request
of the Lender, the Borrower will, upon delivery of a certificate as set forth in Section 3.04(c), pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any Lending
Office of the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment or the Loan, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s
policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will (so long as the Lender makes a similar determination in similar transactions) pay to the Lender
upon delivery of a certificate as set forth in Section 3.04(c) below, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 29 

 The Borrower shall pay the Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after
receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

3.05 Mitigation of Obligations. 

If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or
additional amounts to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to clause (c)(iv) of the definition of Accrued Interest,
then at the request of the Borrower, the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking the Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the
need for the notice pursuant to clause (c)(iv) of the definition of Accrued Interest, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

3.06 Survival. 
 All of
the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitment and repayment of the Obligations.

to maintain the LTV Percentage (as defined in the Third A&R Credit Agreement, after reducing the Collateral Value (as defined therein) for the Effective Date (as defined therein) by the fair market value of all such sold GWG Collateral Policies)

assignment or (ii) such assignment is to 

  
 50 

 
an existing Lender or an Affiliate of an existing Lender or an Approved Assignee; provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object

of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case

9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by the
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 9.06(d). 
 (c) Register. The Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower
(and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Lending Office a copy of each assignment agreement (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender, the
Commitment and the amount of the Loan pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. 
 (d) Participations. The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to
one or more participants (other than the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, and 3.04 to the same
extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be
delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.05 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall
not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent
such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. The Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.05 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.08 as though it were the Lender. The Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary 

  
 51 

 
to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the 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. 
 (e) Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto. 

9.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 

The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to
its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent
required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under
which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating 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, (h) any Third
Party Appraiser, (i) with the consent of the Borrower or (j) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Lender or any of its
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised
the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

The Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information
concerning the Borrower, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material nonpublic information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with
applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws. With respect to any Information provided hereunder, the Lender’s obligations under this Section 9.07 shall terminate on the two (2) year
anniversary of the Scheduled Maturity Date. 
 9.08 Right of Setoff. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency)
at any time owing by the Lender or 

  
 52 

 
any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to the Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 9.09
Interest Rate Limitation. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to
be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount
that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

9.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender, constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

9.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. 

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of the funding of the Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or
unsatisfied. 
 9.12 Severability. 

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

  
 53 

 9.13 [Reserved].

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN

more deposit accounts of the Borrower or Holdings that are subject to Account Control Agreements (or, to the extent any payee receives any such proceeds directly, such payee shall, within one Business Day, cause such proceeds to be transferred to
