Article II

 

THE FACILITY,
ADVANCE PROCEDURES AND NOTES

 

Section 2.1     Advances.
(a)  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender Group hereby agrees to make advances
to or on behalf of the Borrower (individually, an “Advance” and collectively the “Advances”) from
time to time on any date (each such date on which an Advance is made, an “Advance Date”) during the period from the
Effective Date to the end of the Revolving Period; provided that there shall be no more than two (2) Advance Dates during
any calendar week.

 

    -52-

     

    

 

(b)            Under
no circumstances shall any Lender make an Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance and any purchase of Eligible Collateral Obligations
in connection therewith, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances would exceed the lowest of (i) the Facility
Amount, (ii) the Borrowing Base and (iii) the Maximum Availability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Revolving
Period, the Borrower may borrow, reborrow, repay and prepay (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4) one or more Advances.

 

Section 2.2     Funding
of Advances. (a)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, the Borrower
may request Advances hereunder by giving notice to the Facility Agent, each Agent and the Collateral Agent of the proposed Advance at
or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance Date. Such notice (herein
called the “Advance Request”) shall be in the form of Exhibit C-1 and shall include (among other things)
the proposed Advance Date and amount of such proposed Advance, and shall, if applicable, be accompanied by an Asset Approval Request
setting forth the information required therein with respect to the Collateral Obligations to be acquired by the Borrower on the Advance
Date (if applicable). The amount of any Advance shall at least be equal to the least of (x) $500,000, (y) the (1) Borrowing
Base on such day minus (2) the Advances outstanding on such day and (z) the (1) Facility Amount on such day minus
(2) the Advances outstanding on such day before giving effect to the requested Advance as of such date. Any Advance Request
given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower; provided that
any Advance Request which is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice
to the Facility Agent on or prior to the proposed Advance Date) if such other transaction fails to become effective. The Facility Agent
shall have no obligation to lend funds hereunder in its capacity as Facility Agent. Subject to receipt by the Collateral Agent of an
Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower confirming the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2,
and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such funds from the Lenders no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) (or such other
time as otherwise agreed in writing between the Lenders and the Collateral Agent), the Collateral Agent shall make the proceeds of such
requested Advances available to the Borrower by deposit to such account as may be designated by the Borrower in the Advance Request in
same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Advance Date.

 

(b)            Committed
Lender’s Commitment. At no time will any Uncommitted Lender have any obligation to fund an Advance. At all times on and after
the Conduit Advance Termination Date for a Conduit Lender in a Lender Group, all Advances shall be made by the Committed Lenders in such
Lender Group. At any time when any Uncommitted Lender has failed to or has rejected a request to fund an Advance, its Agent shall so notify
the Related Committed Lender and such Related Committed Lender shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.2(b) or
elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to provide its Agent or the Borrower with funds in
connection with an Advance in an amount that would result in the portion of the Advances then funded by it exceeding its Commitment then
in effect. The obligation of the Committed Lender in each Lender Group to remit any Advance shall be several from that of the other Lenders,
and the failure of any Committed Lender to so make such amount available to its Agent shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of
its obligation hereunder.

 

    -53-

     

    

 

(c)            Unfunded
Commitment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) any acceleration
of the maturity of Advances pursuant to Section 13.2 and (ii) the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower shall request
an Advance in the amount of the Aggregate Unfunded Amount minus the amount already on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account. Following
receipt of such Advance Request, the Lenders shall fund such requested amount by transferring such amount directly to the Collateral Agent
to be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the
Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 and the time period specified
in Section 2.2(a)).

 

Section 2.3     Notes.
The Borrower shall, upon request of any Lender Group, on or after such Lender Group becomes a party hereto (whether on the Effective
Date or by assignment or otherwise), execute and deliver a Note evidencing the Advances of such Lender Group. Each such Note shall be
payable to the Agent for such Lender Group in a face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group’s Commitment as of the Effective
Date or the effective date on which such Lender Group becomes a party hereto, as applicable. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes
each Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Notes (or on any continuation of such grid,
or at the option of such Agent, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of the outstanding
principal of the Advances evidenced thereby and each payment of principal thereon. Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence
of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or
otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any payment thereon. Each note shall be a registered note.

 

Section 2.4     Repayment
and Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall repay the Advances outstanding (i) on each Distribution Date to the extent required
to be paid hereunder and funds are available therefor pursuant to Section 8.3 and (ii) in full on the Facility Termination
Date.

 

(b)            Prior
to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower may, from time to time, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding
principal amount of any Advance using Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account or other funds available to
the Borrower on such date; provided, that:

 

(i)            all
such voluntary prepayments shall require prior written notice to the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and each Agent)
by 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to such voluntary prepayment, which notice (herein called the “Prepayment
Notice”) shall be in the form of Exhibit C-4 and shall include (among other things) the proposed date of such prepayment
and the amount and allocation of such prepayment;

 

(ii)           each
such voluntary partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000; and

 

(iii)          each
prepayment shall be applied on the Business Day received by the Facility Agent if received by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day
as Amount Available constituting Principal Collections pursuant to Section 8.3(a) as if (x) the date of such prepayment
were a Distribution Date and (y) such prepayment occurred during the Collection Period to which such Distribution Date relates.

 

    -54-

     

    

 

Section 2.5     Permanent
Reduction of Facility Amount. The Borrower may at any time upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent
(with a copy to each Agent and the Collateral Agent), permanently reduce the Facility Amount (i) in whole or in part upon payment
in full (in accordance with Section 2.4) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances or (ii) in part
by any pro rata amount that the Facility Amount exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances (after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment thereof). In connection with any permanent reduction of the Facility Amount under this Section 2.5,
the Borrower shall pay any applicable fees under any Fee Letter and the Commitment of each Committed Lender shall automatically, and
without any further action by any party, be reduced pro rata with all other Committed Lenders such that the sum of all Commitments
will equal the newly reduced Facility Amount.

 

Section 2.6     Extension
of Revolving Period. The Borrower may, at any time after six months from the Effective Date, prior to the date that is 30 calendar
days prior to the last date of the Revolving Period, deliver a written notice to the Facility Agent and the Lenders (with a copy to the
Collateral Agent) requesting an extension of the Revolving Period for an additional twelve months (each qualifying request, an “Extension
Request”). Each Lender may approve or decline an Extension Request in its sole discretion; provided that the Lenders
shall respond to an Extension Request in writing not later than 30 days following receipt of such Extension Request, and if any Lender
does not respond in writing by the end of such 30 day period it shall be deemed to have denied such Extension Request. To the extent
any Lender declines an Extension Request pursuant to this Section 2.6 and such extension is thereafter approved, either (i) such
Lender’s Advances shall be repaid in full by the Borrower on the date of such extension (and no non-call agreement shall apply),
and the Facility Amount shall be reduced on such date by such non-extending Lender’s Commitment or (ii) each extending Lender
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase the Commitment and outstanding Advances and other Obligations of such declining
Lender, and such declining Lender agrees to assign its Commitment and outstanding Advances and other Obligations to each such extending
Lender; provided that if multiple Lenders make any such request, the declining Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Advances
and other Obligations will be allocated pro rata (based on their existing Commitments) to each such extending Lender.

 

Section 2.7     Calculation
of Discount Factor.

 

(a)            In
connection with the purchase of each Collateral Obligation and prior to such Collateral Obligation being purchased by the Borrower and
included in the Collateral, the Facility Agent will assign (in its sole discretion) a Discount Factor for such Collateral Obligation,
which Discount Factor shall remain effective for such Collateral Obligation except as provided in clause (b) below; provided
that, in connection with assigning a Discount Factor for any Collateral Obligation, the Facility Agent shall take into account whether
the Purchase Price with respect to such Collateral Obligation already reflects any market discount so as to avoid duplication;

 

    -55-

     

    

 

(b)            If
a Revaluation Event occurs with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation may be amended
by the Facility Agent, in its sole discretion. The Facility Agent will provide written notice of the revised Discount Factor to the Borrower,
the Servicer and each Agent. To the extent the Servicer has actual knowledge or has received notice of any Revaluation Event with respect
to any Collateral Obligation, the Servicer shall give prompt notice thereof to the Facility Agent (but, in any event, not later than two
Business Days after it receives notice or gains actual knowledge thereof). The Servicer may dispute the Discount Factor as set forth in
clause (c) below at the expense of the Borrower unless:

 

(i)            such
Collateral Obligation is a Multiple of Recurring Revenue Loan;

 

(ii)           the
then-current Leverage Multiple with respect to the Collateral Obligation subject to such Revaluation Event is 2.00x or more than the related
Original Leverage Multiple; or

 

(iii)          such
Collateral Obligation was subject to a prior Revaluation Event.

 

(c)            The
Servicer may dispute the Discount Factor of any Collateral Obligation by:

 

(i) if such Collateral
Obligation is a Loan that (i) is a broadly syndicated commercial loan, (ii) has a first lien tranche size of $250,000,000 or
greater as of the Cut-Off Date, (iii) has EBITDA of $50,000,000 or greater, (iv) such Loan or the related obligor has (x) a
Moody’s facility rating not lower than “B3” or (y) a facility rating by S&P not lower than “B-”,
and (v) at least two (2) Approved Broker Dealer quotes have been determined with respect to such Loan (a “Broadly Syndicated
Loan”), calculating the Collateral Market Value for such Broadly Syndicated Loan on a weekly basis and reporting such calculation
to the Facility Agent within two (2) Business Days thereof (which most recent weekly calculation shall be used as the Discount Factor),
until the Facility Agent gives notice that the related Revaluation Event is released; or

 

(ii) if such Collateral
Obligation is not a Broadly Syndicated Loan, retaining an Approved Valuation Firm within 30 days of the applicable Revaluation Event and
causing such Approved Valuation Firm to report such valuation every six (6) months to the Facility Agent (with a copy to each Agent)
(which most recent valuation shall be used as the Discount Factor unless any such valuation decreases the Discount Factor by more than
15%, in which case the Discount Factor may be re-determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion), until the Facility Agent gives
notice that the related Revaluation Event is released; provided that the Servicer may not change the Approved Valuation Firm for
any Collateral Obligation without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent.

 

    -56-

     

    

 

Section 2.8     Increase
in Facility Amount. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, (i) increase the Commitment of the
existing Lender Groups (pro rata) by an additional $200,000,000 with the consent of each Agent (unless otherwise agreed to by the Facility
Agent and each Agent in their respective sole discretion), (ii) add additional Lender Groups without the consent of any Agent and/or
(iii) increase the Commitment of any Lender Group with the consent of the Agent for such Lender Group, in each case which shall
increase the Facility Amount by the amount of the Commitment of each such existing or additional Lender Group. For the avoidance of doubt,
any consent of the Facility Agent or any Agent required in accordance with this Section 2.8 may be conditioned on one or
more conditions precedent in their respective sole discretion. If there is any increase in any Commitment, the Facility Agent shall promptly
provide notice to each Agent.

 

Section 2.9     Defaulting
Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

 

(i)            any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Collateral Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Facility Agent
as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Facility Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender,
as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion)), 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 Facility Agent; third, if so determined by
the Facility Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations
of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other 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 or Unmatured Event
of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion),
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such
Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment
is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which 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. 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 2.9
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

 

(ii)            for
any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee for
any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no circumstance shall the Borrower retroactively be or become required
to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

 

    -57-

     

    

 

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

Article IV

 

PAYMENTS;
TAXES

 

Section 4.1     Making
of Payments. Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions hereof and Section 2.4 or Section 8.3(a),
as applicable, all payments of principal of or Yield on the Advances and other amounts due to the Lenders shall be made pursuant to Section 8.3(a) no
later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available
funds. Payments received by any Lender or Agent after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day will be deemed to have been received
by such Lender or Agent on the next following Business Day. The respective Agent for each Lender Group shall allocate to the Lenders
in its Lender Group each payment in respect of the Advances received by the respective Agent as provided by Section 8.3(a) or
Section 2.4, as applicable. Payments in reduction of the principal amount of the Advances shall be allocated and applied
to Lenders pro rata based on their respective portions of such Advances, or in any such case in such other proportions as each
affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with such Agent and the Borrower. Payments of Yield and Undrawn Fee shall
be allocated and applied to Lenders pro rata based upon the respective amounts of such Yield and Undrawn Fee due and payable to
them.

 

Section 4.2     Due
Date Extension. If any payment of principal or Yield with respect to any Advance falls due on a day which is not a Business Day,
then such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and additional Yield shall accrue and be payable for the period
of such extension at the rate applicable to such Advance.

 

Section 4.3     Taxes.
(a)  Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable 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 4.3) 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 Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law, or
at the option of the Facility Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

    -59-

     

    

 

(c)            Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, on the later of, after written demand therefor, (i) 10 Business
Days and (ii) the next Distribution Date, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted
on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.3) 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 Official Body, but only to the extent there are amounts
available therefor on any given day pursuant to Section 8.3(a) (and if insufficient amounts are available, such amount
shall be payable on the next Distribution Date). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender (with a copy to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent), or by the Facility Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)            Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Facility Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes 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 15.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Facility Agent in connection with any Transaction
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 Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
Facility Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to set off and apply any and
all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Facility Agent to the Lender from
any other source against any amount due to the Facility Agent under this Section 4.3(d).

 

(e)            Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 4.3,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

 

(f)            Status
of Lenders.

 

(i)            Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document
shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower,
the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent as will
enable the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution
and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.3(f)(ii)(A), Section 4.3(f)(ii)(B) and
Section 4.3(f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution
or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.

 

    -60-

     

    

 

(ii)           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 

(A)            any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) on or prior to
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Facility Agent) executed copies 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 and the Facility Agent (with a copy to the
Collateral Agent and in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent)
whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(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 Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable,
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 Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, 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
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable; or

 

    -61-

     

    

 

(IV)         to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2
or Exhibit G-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 G-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 and the Facility Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) executed copies 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 Facility Agent to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)            if
a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction 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 Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable
Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Facility Agent to (x) comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or (y) 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.

 

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 Facility Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)            Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section 4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount
paid over pursuant to this Section 4.3(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official
Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4.3(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this Section 4.3(g)  the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund
had never been paid. This Section 4.3(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)            Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent or
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any
Transaction Document.

 

(i)             Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.3, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 5.1     Increased
Costs, Capital Adequacy. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change following the date hereof (including,
without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration
or application arising following the date hereof of any Applicable Law, in each case whether foreign or domestic or (ii) the compliance
with any guideline or request following the date hereof from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force
of law), (A) there shall be any increase in the cost to the Facility Agent, any Agent, any Lender, or any successor or assign thereof
(each of which shall be an “Affected Person”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance (or
any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Person hereunder),
as the case may be, (B) there shall be any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person under
this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, or (C) any Recipient is subject to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified
Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection
Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto, then, in each case, the Borrower shall, from time to time, after written demand by the Facility Agent
(which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf of such Affected
Person, pay to the Facility Agent, on behalf of such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person
for such increased costs or reduced payments within the later of, after written demand therefor, (i) thirty (30) days and (ii) the

arising following the date hereof of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance by
any Affected Person with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the date hereof, from any central bank,
any Official Body or agency, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Person with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Person, as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder or any related document or arising in connection herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such
Affected Person could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected
Person with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity coverage), by an amount deemed by such Affected Person to be material, then, from
time to time, after demand by such Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay the Facility Agent on behalf of such Affected Person such additional amounts as will
compensate such Affected Person for such reduction within the later of (i) thirty (30) days after such demand and (ii) the next
Distribution Date, but only to the extent there are amounts available therefor on any given day pursuant to Section 8.3(a) (and
if insufficient amounts are available, such amount shall be payable on the next Distribution Date).

an Affected Person shall at any time (without regard to whether any Basel III Regulations are then in effect) suffer or incur (i) any
explicit or implicit charge, assessment, cost or expense by reason of the amount or type of assets, capital or supply of funding such
Affected Person or any of its Affiliates is required or expected to maintain in connection with the transactions contemplated herein,
without regard to (A) whether such charge, assessment, cost or expense is imposed or recognized internally, externally or inter-company
or (B) whether it is determined in reference to a reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s or Affiliate’s
assets or capital, an inherent cost of the establishment or maintenance of a reserve of stable funding, a reduction in the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Affected Person or its Affiliates or otherwise, or (ii) any other imputed cost or expense arising
by reason of the actual or anticipated compliance by such Affected Person or any of its Affiliates with the Basel III Regulations, then,
upon demand by or on behalf of such Affected Person through the Facility Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent, for the
benefit of such Affected Person, such amount as will, in the determination of such Affected Person, compensate such Affected Person therefor
but only to the extent there are amounts available therefor on any given day pursuant to Section 8.3(a) (and if insufficient
amounts are available, such amount shall be payable on the next Distribution Date). A certificate of the applicable Affected Person setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Affected Person under this Section 5.1(c) shall be delivered
to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    -64-

     

    

 

 

(d)            In
determining any amount provided for in this Section 5.1, the Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. The Facility Agent, on behalf of any Affected Person making a claim under this Section 5.1, shall submit to the
Borrower a certificate 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.

demand for compensation under this Section 5.1 must be made within 270 days of the date the related cost, damage, loss or
expense is incurred by the applicable Affected Person; provided that, if the change in circumstance giving rise to such demand
for compensation is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof; (ii) the Borrower shall not be the only borrower or customer that such Affected Person is charging for similar costs, damages,
losses or expenses at such time; and (iii) no costs, damages, losses or expenses shall be payable to any Affected Person under this
Section 5.1 in respect of (A) any Undrawn Fees relating to Commitments that are reduced or not permitted to be funded
solely due to a Bail-In Action relating to such Lender that results in the reduction of the total Commitments of such Lender (or the
prohibition against funding such Commitments) or (B) any interest on any Advances that are not funded or are repaid as a result
thereof.

Section 7.1     Retention
and Termination of the Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Collateral Obligations shall be conducted by
the Person designated as Servicer from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.1. Subject to early termination due
to the occurrence of a Servicer Default or as otherwise provided below in this Article VII, the Borrower hereby designates
the Equityholder, and the Equityholder hereby agrees to serve, as Servicer until the termination of this Agreement. The Servicer is not
an agent of the Facility Agent, any Agent or any Lender.

 

Section 7.2     Resignation
and Removal of the Servicer; Appointment of Successor Servicer. (a)  If a Servicer Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Facility Agent may in its own discretion or shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders by at least one (1) Business Day’s
prior written notice given to the Servicer (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer and, with the consent of the Required Lenders and the Facility Agent, appoint a successor pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition,
if the Servicer is terminated upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Servicer shall, if so requested by the Facility Agent, acting

(b)            The
Borrower and the Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Facility Agent access to the Collateral Obligations and all other documents
regarding the Collateral Obligations included as part of the Collateral and the Related Security in each case, in its possession, in

continuing), (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) up to twice per calendar year (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default,

and administration of the Collateral Obligations in order to assess compliance by the Servicer with the Servicer’s written policies
and procedures, as well as this Agreement and may, no more than twice in any calendar year, conduct an audit of the Collateral Obligations
and Records in conjunction with such review, subject to the limits set forth in Sections 7.9(c) and 17.14.

 

(c)            Nothing
in this Section 7.9 shall derogate from the obligation of the Borrower and the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to provide access as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 7.9.

 

(d)            The
Servicer shall bear the costs and expenses of all audits and inspections permitted by this Section 7.9 as well as Section 18.6.

Borrower, shall give the Facility Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each Agent) written notice
of such Optional Sale, which notice shall identify the related Collateral subject to such Optional Sale and the expected proceeds from
such Optional Sale and include (x) an Officer’s Certificate computed as of the date of such request and after giving effect
to such Optional Sale, demonstrating that the Borrowing Base is greater than or equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Advances
outstanding and (y) a certificate of the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 requesting the release of
the related Collateral Obligation File in connection with such Optional Sale;

 

(iii)    such
Optional Sale shall be made by the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower (A) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) reflecting
arm’s length market terms and (C) in a transaction in which the Borrower makes no representations, warranties or covenants
and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party (other than those which are customarily made or provided in connection
with the sale of assets of such type);

 

(iv)    if
such Optional Sale is to an Affiliate of the Borrower or the Servicer, either (A) such Collateral Obligation is being sold for not
less than (x) during the Revolving Period, (1) if such Collateral Obligation is a Broadly Syndicated Loan, its Collateral Market
Value, (2) if such Collateral Obligation is an Asset Based Loan, its Appraised Value as verified by an Approved Valuation Firm within
the prior sixty (60) days or (3) otherwise, its Purchase Price or (y) after the end of the Revolving Period, par, or (B) the
Facility Agent has given its prior written consent; and

 

(v)    on
the date of such Optional Sale, all proceeds from such Optional Sale will be deposited directly into the Collection Account.

 

(b)            In
connection with any Optional Sale, following deposit of the net proceeds from such Optional Sale into the Collection Account, the Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to release and transfer to the Borrower without recourse, representation or warranty all of the right, title and
interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Collateral Obligation(s) and related
Collateral subject to such Optional Sale and such portion of the Collateral so transferred shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement.

 

(c)            The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable and documented outside counsel legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Facility Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Securities Intermediary in connection with any Optional Sale (including, but not
limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in
the Collateral in connection with such Optional Sale).

 

    -81-

     

    

 

(d)            In
connection with any Optional Sale, the Collateral Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such instruments of release
with respect to the portion of the Collateral subject to such Optional Sale to the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary, as the
Borrower may reasonably request.

 

Section 7.11   Repurchase
or Substitution of Warranty Collateral Obligations.     In the event
of (A) a breach of Section 9.5, Section 9.13 or Section 9.26 or (B) a material breach
of any other representation, warranty, undertaking or covenant set forth in Section 7.4(k), Article IX, Article X,
Section 18.3 or Section 18.5(b) (collectively, the “Specified Provisions”) as of the
relevant Cut-Off Date with respect to a Collateral Obligation (or the Related Security and other related collateral constituting part
of the Collateral related to such Collateral Obligation) (each such Collateral Obligation, a “Warranty Collateral Obligation”),
no later than 30 days after the earlier of (x) knowledge of such breach on the part of the Equityholder or the Servicer and
(y) receipt by the Equityholder or the Servicer of written notice thereof given by the Facility Agent, the Borrower shall either
(a) repay Advances outstanding in an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amount of such Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) to
which such breach relates on the terms and conditions set forth below or (b) substitute for such Warranty Collateral Obligation
one or more Eligible Collateral Obligations with an aggregate Collateral Obligation Amount at least equal to the Repurchase Amount of
the Warranty Collateral Obligation(s) being replaced; provided, that no such repayment or substitution shall be required
to be made with respect to any Warranty Collateral Obligation (and such Collateral Obligation shall cease to be a Warranty Collateral
Obligation) if, on or before the expiration of such 30 day period, the representations and warranties set forth in clause (A) above
with respect to such Warranty Collateral Obligation shall be made true and correct and the representations, warranties, undertakings
and covenants set forth in clause (B) above with respect to such Warranty Collateral Obligation shall be made true and correct in
all material respects (or if such representation and warranty is already qualified by the words “material”, “materially”
or “Material Adverse Effect”, then such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) with respect
to such Warranty Collateral Obligation as if such Warranty Collateral Obligation had become part of the Collateral on such day or if
the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding do not exceed the Borrowing Base, the Maximum Availability or the Facility
Amount. The classification of a Collateral Obligation as a Warranty Collateral Obligation shall be based whether such Collateral Obligation
was in breach or material breach, as applicable, of any representation, warranty, undertaking or covenant set forth above as of the related
Cut-Off Date and not, for the avoidance of doubt, based on an Obligor’s financial inability to pay absent any such breach.

 

Section 7.12   Servicing
of REO Assets. (a)  If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert any Collateral
Obligation that is secured by real property into an REO Asset, the Servicer shall first cause the Borrower to transfer and assign such
Collateral Obligation (or the portion thereof owned by the Borrower) to a special purpose vehicle (the “REO Asset Owner”)
using a contribution agreement reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent. All equity interests of the REO Asset Owner acquired by the
Borrower shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest under Section 12.1
and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent, each undated and duly indorsed in blank. The REO Asset Owner shall be formed
and operated pursuant to organizational documents reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent. After execution thereof, the Servicer
shall prevent the REO Asset Owner from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of the REO Asset Owner’s organizational
documents that would be materially adverse to the Secured Parties without first obtaining the written consent of the Facility Agent.
The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be serviced (i) in accordance with Applicable Law, (ii) with reasonable care and
diligence, (iii) in accordance with the applicable REO Asset Owner’s operating agreement, and (iv) in accordance with
the Credit and Collection Policy (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”). The Servicer will cause all “Distributable
Cash” (or comparable definition set forth in the REO Asset Owner’s organization documents) to be deposited into the Collection
Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

 

    -82-

     

    

 

(b)            In
the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of the REO Asset Owner for the benefit of its members in foreclosure,
by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in
the name of a REO Asset Owner. The Servicer shall cause the REO Asset Owner to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Asset for
its members solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not (and shall not permit the REO Asset Owner to) obtain
title to any Related Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership
interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver
of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related
Property if, as a result of any such action, the REO Asset Owner would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession”
of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable state or local Environmental Law, unless
the Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the REO Servicing Standard, based on an updated Phase I environmental assessment
report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527-05, as may be amended or,
with respect to residential property, a property inspection and title report, that:

 

(i)      such
Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws, and

 

(ii)     there
are no circumstances present at such Related Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner, occupier
or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state or local law or regulation.

 

(d)            In
the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with respect to Related Property indicates
that such Related Property may not be in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but
does not definitively establish such fact, the Servicer shall cause the Borrower to immediately sell the related Collateral Obligation
in accordance with Section 7.10 to the extent permitted thereunder.

Article VIII

 

ACCOUNTS;
PAYMENTS

 

Section 8.1     Accounts.
(a)  On or prior to the Effective Date, the Servicer shall establish each Account in the name of the Borrower and each Account
shall be a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account established with the Securities Intermediary, who shall forward funds from
the Collection Account to the Collateral Agent upon its request for application by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.3(a).
If at any time a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge that any Account ceases to be an Eligible Account
(with notice to the Servicer and the Facility Agent), then the Servicer shall transfer such account to another institution such that
such account shall meet the requirements of an Eligible Account.

 

On the last day of the Revolving
Period, the Borrower shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount equal to the Aggregate Unfunded Amount. Except as set
forth below, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn by the Borrower (i) to fund any draw requests
of the relevant Obligors under any Variable Funding Asset, or (ii) to make a deposit into the Collections Account as Principal Collections
if, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is equal to or greater than
(i) prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Aggregate Unfunded Equity Amount and (ii) after the Revolving Period, the
Aggregate Unfunded Amount.

 

Following the Facility Termination
Date, any draw request made by an Obligor under a Variable Funding Asset included in the Collateral, along with wiring instructions for
the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Facility Agent) along with an
instruction to the Collateral Agent to withdraw the applicable amount from the Unfunded Exposure Account and a certification that the
conditions to fund such draw are satisfied, and the Collateral Agent shall fund such draw request in accordance with such instructions
from the Servicer.

 

Following the end of the Revolving
Period, if the Borrower shall receive any Principal Collections from an Obligor with respect to a Variable Funding Asset included in
the Collateral and, as of the date of such receipt (and after taking into account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit in
the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Amount (the amount of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded
Exposure Shortfall”), the Servicer shall direct the Collateral Agent to and the Collateral Agent shall deposit into the Unfunded
Exposure Account an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of such Principal Collections
and (b) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall.

 

    -84-

     

    

 

 

(b)            All
amounts held in any Account shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be invested by the Collateral Agent, as directed by the
Servicer in writing (or, if the Servicer fails to provide such direction, such amounts shall remain uninvested), in Permitted Investments
that mature (i) with respect to the Collection Account, not later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for the Collection
Period to which such amounts relate and (ii) with respect to the Unfunded Exposure Account, on the immediately following Business
Day. Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this Section 8.1. Investments in Permitted
Investments except as specifically required below, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. If any amounts are needed
for disbursement from the Collection Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such disbursement, the
Collateral Agent shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account to make
such disbursement in accordance with and upon the written direction of the Servicer or, if the Servicer shall fail to give such direction,
the Facility Agent. The Collateral Agent shall, upon written request, provide the Facility Agent with all information in its possession
regarding transfer into and out of the Collection Account (including, but not limited to, the identity of the counterparty making or receiving
such transfer). In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith,
or for any failure of the Servicer or the Facility Agent, as applicable, to timely provide investment instructions or disposition instructions,
as applicable, to the Collateral Agent. To the extent agreed to by the Borrower or the Servicer, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral
Custodian and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral
Agent’s or the Collateral Custodian’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder,
servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect
transactions in certain Permitted Investments, and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not
be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)            Neither
the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Account, except to
the extent explicitly set forth herein (including the withdrawal rights for the Unfunded Exposure Account set forth in Section 8.1(a)).

 

Subject to the other provisions
hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have sole Control (within the meaning of the UCC) over each Account and each such investment and the
income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent
or its agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Collateral Agent
in a manner that complies with this Section 8.1. All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or earnings
on, investments of funds in the Accounts shall be deposited or transferred to the Collection Account and distributed pursuant to Section 8.3(a).

 

(d)            The
Equityholder may, from time to time in its sole discretion (x) deposit amounts into the Principal Collection Account or the Unfunded
Exposure Account and/or (y) transfer Eligible Collateral Obligations as equity contributions to the Borrower. All such amounts will
be included in each applicable compliance calculation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, calculation of the Borrowing
Base, the Maximum Availability and the Minimum Equity Test.

Section 8.2     Excluded
Amounts. The Servicer may direct the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the applicable Account and
pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal,
delivered to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent, which report shall include a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting
such request and designate a date for the payment of such reimbursement, which date shall not be earlier than two (2) Business Days
following delivery of such notice.

 

Section 8.3     Distributions,
Reinvestment and Dividends. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the Collection Account,
in accordance with the applicable Monthly Report prepared by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.5, the Amount Available

shall have filed or caused to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement, naming the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent (for the benefit
of the Secured Parties) as secured party and describing the Collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
From time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation statements, all
in such manner and in such places as may be required by Applicable Law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Collateral
Agent in favor of the Secured Parties under this Agreement in the Collateral and in the proceeds thereof. The Borrower shall deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to the Collateral Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as
soon as available following such filing. In the event that the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Collateral
Agent or the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) do so, in each case at the expense of the Borrower, however neither
the Collateral Agent nor the Facility Agent shall have any liability in connection therewith.

(b)           The
Borrower shall not change its name, jurisdiction, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement

or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Borrower shall have given the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent (with a copy
to each Agent) at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously

security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Indication of the Collateral Agent’s
(for the benefit of the Secured Parties) security interest shall be deleted from or modified in such records only when, and only when,
the Collateral in question shall have been paid in full, the security interest under this Agreement has been released in accordance with
its terms, upon such Collateral Obligation becoming a Repurchased Collateral Obligation or Substituted Collateral Obligation, or otherwise
as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

 

(d)            Without
limiting any of the other provisions hereof, if at any time (x) the Borrower shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in,

to such prospective lender or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, shall

following such default on such Hedge Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment under the applicable Hedging Agreement

Substitute Arrangement meeting the requirements of Section 10.6(d) has been obtained, (A) provide written notice
to such Hedge Counterparty (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, each Agent and the Facility Agent) of its intention to terminate the
applicable Hedging Agreement within the 30-day period following the expiration of the cure period set forth in the applicable Hedging
Agreement and (B) terminate the applicable Hedging Agreement within such 30-day period, request the payment to it of all amounts
due to the Borrower under the applicable Hedging Agreement through the termination date and deposit any such amounts so received, on the
day of receipt, to the Collection Account, or (ii) establish any other arrangement (including an arrangement or arrangements in addition
to or in substitution for any prior arrangement made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6(c)) with the written
consent (in its sole discretion) of the Facility Agent (a “Qualified Substitute Arrangement”); provided, that
in the event at any time any alternative arrangement established pursuant to the above shall cease to be satisfactory to the Facility
Agent, then the provisions of this Section 10.6(c), shall again be applied and in connection therewith the 30-day period referred
to above shall commence on the date the Borrower receives notice of such cessation or termination, as the case may be.

 

(d)            Unless
an alternative arrangement pursuant to Section 10.6(c) is being established, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain a Replacement Hedging Agreement or Qualified Substitute Arrangement meeting the requirements of this Section 10.6
during the 30-day period following the expiration of the cure period set forth in the applicable Hedging Agreement. The Borrower shall
not terminate the Hedging Agreement unless, prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, the Borrower delivers to the Collateral Agent
(with a copy to the Facility Agent and each Agent) (i) a Replacement Hedging Agreement or Qualified Substitute Arrangement, (ii) to
the extent applicable, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent as to the due authorization, execution and
delivery and validity and enforceability of such Replacement Hedging Agreement or Qualified Substitute Arrangement, as the case may be,

Section 10.19          Obligor

Facility Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions
which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required

be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Facility Agent, any Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such
action, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions
of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity
which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Facility
Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Facility Agent within 10 Business Days

Default or any notice, document, certificate or other information required to be forwarded by the Facility Agent to the Collateral Agent,

(d)            If,
in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the
Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Facility Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral
Agent does not receive such instructions within two 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 two Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action
inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants
in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

and any other related agreements in the form delivered to the Collateral Agent. All of the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections
and immunities provided herein shall apply to the Collateral Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Account Control

may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Servicer,
the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each Agent; provided, that no resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent will be permitted
unless a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed which successor Collateral Agent, so long as no Unmatured Servicer Default, Servicer
Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. Promptly
after receipt of notice of the Collateral Agent’s resignation, the Facility Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral
Agent (which successor Collateral Agent is Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or, so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer) by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Servicer, the resigning Collateral Agent and to the successor Collateral Agent. In the event
no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed within 60 days after the giving of notice of such resignation, the Collateral
Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The Facility Agent upon at least 60 days’
prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, may with or without cause remove and discharge the Collateral Agent or any successor Collateral
Agent thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral
Agent, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Agent. Any
such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be
delivered to the Collateral Agent and the successor Collateral Agent, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer.

validity or enforceability of this Agreement; and

 

(c)            this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Collateral Agent and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation

equity (whether enforcement is sought in proceedings in equity or at law).

Adverse Interest of Collateral Agent. By execution of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent represents and warrants that it currently
holds and during the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of security or otherwise, in any Collateral
Obligation or any document in the Collateral Obligation Files. Neither the Collateral Obligations nor any documents in the Collateral
Obligation Files shall be subject to any security interest, lien or right of set-off by the Collateral Agent or any third party claiming
through the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant

instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Agent,
the Collateral Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that
they conform to the form required by such provision. For avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on Borrowing Base
Certificates and Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Servicer. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken
by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to
any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction
required hereby for such action.

the event that the Collateral Custodian is not the same entity as the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for
the acts or omissions of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement and shall not be required to monitor the performance of the Collateral
Custodian.

 

(j)            Without
limiting the generality of any terms of this section, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness
on the part of the Servicer, the Facility Agent or the Borrower to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the
Collateral Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability
for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that

Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report or other document;
provided, however, that, if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine the same to determine
whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any
matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower, the Servicer
and the Facility Agent that application and performance by the Collateral Agent of its various duties hereunder (including, without limitation,
recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information
and notice provided to it by the Servicer, the Facility Agent, the Borrower and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with
respect to the Collateral Obligation, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information
or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). Nothing
herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to verify, investigate or audit any such information
or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with
the underlying documents governing or securing such securities, from time to time. For purposes of tracking changes in ratings, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to use and rely (in good faith) exclusively upon a single reputable electronic financial information reporting
service (which for ratings by Standard & Poor’s shall be www.standardpoors.com or www.ratingsdirect.com) and shall have
no liability for any inaccuracies in the information reported by, of other errors or omissions of, any such service. It is hereby expressly
agreed that Bloomberg Financial Markets is one such reputable service.

or omissions of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or
error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by
it from the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused

timely and accurate information to the Collateral Agent.

Agent hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement or other Transaction Document, unless the Facility Agent (or such other Person) shall have

of this Agreement.

relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian. Accordingly,

Agent) to the making of payments directly to such Secured Parties, to pay to the Collateral Agent such amounts as shall be sufficient
to cover all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent
and each predecessor Collateral Agent except as determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Section 13.7     Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any other Secured Party to exercise any right
or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article XIII or by law to the Collateral Agent or to the
other Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the other
Secured Parties, as the case may be.

 

Section 13.8     Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Borrower waives and covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not
at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the
voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under
any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of
or any remedies under this Agreement; and the Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits
or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

Section 13.9     Limitation
on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral. (a) Beyond the safekeeping of the Collateral Obligation Files in accordance
with Article XVIII, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Custodian shall have any duty as to any Collateral in
its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Custodian shall be responsible
for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times
or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the
Collateral Custodian shall be liable or responsible for any misconduct, negligence or loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral,
by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent, attorney or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent
or the Collateral Custodian in good faith and with due care hereunder.

 

    -128-

     

    

 

(b)            Neither
the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Custodian shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral
or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law
or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, or for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges,
assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

 

(c)            Neither
the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Custodian shall have any duty to act outside of the United States in respect of any Collateral
located in any jurisdiction other than the United States.

 

Section 13.10     Power
of Attorney. (a)  Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its true and
lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense (at the direction of the Facility Agent),
in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this
Agreement, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and
pursuant hereto, and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document.
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing
and delivering to the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent to take any action or actions contemplated by
clause (a) shall inquire into or seek confirmation from the Borrower or the Servicer as to the authority of the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein,
and each of the Borrower and the Servicer 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 or the Servicer until all obligations
of each of the Borrower and the Servicer under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full (other than contingent Obligations for
which no claim has been made).

 

    -129-

     

    

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 13.10 shall only be effective during
the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

Article XIV

 

THE FACILITY
AGENT

 

Section 14.1     Appointment.
Each Lender and each Agent hereby irrevocably designates and appoints DBNY as Facility Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents, and authorizes the Facility Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Facility Agent by the terms of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender in each Lender
Group hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent for such Lender Group as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement, and
each such Lender irrevocably authorizes such Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties thereunder as are expressly
delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Facility Agent nor any Agent
(the Facility Agent and each Agent being referred to in this Article XIV as a “Note Agent”) shall have
any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against
any Note Agent.

 

Section 14.2     Delegation
of Duties. Each Note Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by or through its
subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties. No Note Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

 

Section 14.3     Exculpatory
Provisions. No Note Agent (acting in such capacity) nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable
to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them or any Person described in Section 14.2 under
or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (b) responsible in any manner to any Person for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties of any Person (other than itself) contained in the Transaction Documents or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, the Transaction Documents
or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents or any other document
furnished in connection therewith or herewith, or for any failure of any Person (other than itself or its directors, officers, agents
or employees) to perform its obligations under any Transaction Document or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in a Transaction
Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Note Agent shall be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain
or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, the Transaction
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer.

 

    -130-

     

    

 

Section 14.4     Reliance
by Note Agents. Each Note Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order
or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to each of the Lenders), Independent Accountants and
other experts selected by such Note Agent. Each Note Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders, as it deems appropriate, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
(i) in the case of the Facility Agent, by the Lenders or (ii) in the case of an Agent, by the Lenders in its Lender Group, against
any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Facility
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document furnished
in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of the Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than 50% of the outstanding
Advances held by such Lender Group, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
the Lenders in such Lender Group.

 

Section 14.5     Notices.
No Note Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of any Event
of Default unless it has received notice from the Servicer, the Borrower or any Lender, referring to this Agreement and describing such
event. In the event any Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders in its Lender Group. The Facility
Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed in writing by the Required Lenders, and each Agent
shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than
50% of the outstanding Advances held by such Lender Group; provided, that unless and until such Note Agent shall have received
such directions, such Note Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders or of the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable.

 

Section 14.6     Non-Reliance
on Note Agents. The Lenders expressly acknowledge that no Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Note Agent hereafter taken, including any review
of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Note Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to each Note Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations
and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any
of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations. Except as expressly
provided herein, no Note Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning
the Collateral or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the
Servicer or the Lenders which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or affiliates.

 

    -131-

     

    

 

In no event shall any Note
Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited
to, lost profits, even if such Note Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
In no event shall any Note Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances
beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo,
government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the
providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Section 14.7     Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Facility Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer under the Transaction Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do
so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts of their Advances (or their
Commitments, if no Advances are outstanding) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Facility Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened,
whether or not the Facility Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Facility Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason
of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith
or therewith.

 

Section 14.8     Successor
Note Agent. If the Facility Agent shall resign as Facility Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor
agent with the consent of the Borrower, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Facility
Agent, and the term “Facility Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and
the former Facility Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Facility Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Facility Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement; provided that no such consent of the Borrower
shall be required if (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) such successor agent is an Affiliate of DBNY.
Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Facility Agent (with a copy to the
Borrower) with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant
to this Section 14.8. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater
than 50% of the outstanding Advances held by such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent for such Lender Group which, unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. After any Note Agent’s resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was a Note Agent under this Agreement. No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective until a successor Note Agent
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent hereunder; provided, that in the event a successor Note
Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such notice of its resignation is given as permitted by this Section 14.8, the
applicable Note Agent may petition a court for its removal.

 

    -132-

     

    

 

Section 14.9     Note
Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Servicer as though such Note Agent were not an agent hereunder. Any Person which is a
Note Agent may act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator
or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.

 

Section 14.10     Borrower
Audit. The Facility Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense (not to exceed (i) for the first year following the Effective
Date, $100,000 per audit and (ii) thereafter, $75,000 per audit, without the consent of the Borrower or an Event of Default has occurred),
retain Protiviti, Inc. (or another nationally recognized audit firm acceptable to the Facility Agent in its sole discretion) to conduct
and complete a procedural review of the Collateral Obligations in compliance with the standards set forth on Exhibit B hereto
(as such Exhibit B may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the Facility Agent by delivery of such amended
Exhibit B by the Facility Agent to the Borrower), (i) within 120 days after the Effective Date and (ii) once annually
at the request of the Facility Agent thereafter; provided that, if the assets managed by the Servicer and its Affiliates shall
fall below $5,000,000,000 during any calendar year, such audit shall be conducted twice annually until such time that such assets exceed
$5,000,000,000. The Facility Agent shall promptly forward the results of such audit to the Servicer. Each Agent may, if such Agent has
previously executed a release letter acceptable to such audit firm, request the results of such audit from the relevant audit firm.

 

Section 14.11     Compliance
with Applicable Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. In order to comply with Applicable
Banking Law, the Facility Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities
which maintain a business relationship with the Facility Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Facility Agent,
upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order
to enable the Facility Agent to comply with Applicable Banking Law.

Agent and the Required Lenders in their respective sole discretion and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 15.1
shall be null and void.

 

Section 15.2     Documentation.
In connection with any permitted assignment, each Lender shall deliver to each assignee an assignment, in such form as such Lender and
the related assignee may agree, duly executed by such Lender assigning any such rights, obligations, Advance or Note to the assignee;
and such Lender shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee
may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the
items assigned, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder or under the Notes evidencing such Advance.

 

Section 15.3     Rights
of Assignee. Upon the foreclosure of any assignment of any Advances made for security purposes, or upon any other assignment of any
Advance from any Lender pursuant to this Article XV, the respective assignee receiving such assignment shall have all of the
rights of such Lender hereunder with respect to such Advances and all references to the Lender or Lenders in Sections 4.3 or 5.1
shall be deemed to apply to such assignee.

 

Section 15.4     Assignment
by Lenders. Any Lender may assign an interest in, or sell a participation interest in any Advance (or portion thereof) or its Commitment
(or any portion thereof) pursuant to any one of the following clauses (a) through (e); provided that no Lender may assign
any interest in, or sell a participation in any Advance (or portion thereof), or its Commitment (or any portion thereof), to the Equityholder

an Affiliate of such Lender;

 

(c)            to
another Lender;

 

(d)            to

Rule); or

 

(e)            to
any Person with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);

 

provided, that each
Lender shall first offer to sell such interest(s) to (i) the Lender affiliated with the Facility Agent and, if such Lender does
not accept such offer within 10 Business Days, then (ii) to each remaining Lender (pro rata) for a period of 10 Business Days
prior to offering to any Person that is not an existing Lender.

 

    -134-

     

    

 

Each Lender shall endorse
the Notes to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this Article XV or otherwise.

 

Section 15.5     Registration;
Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a)  The Collateral Agent, acting solely for this purpose as agent for the Borrower
(and, in such capacity, the “Loan Registrar”), shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address
of each Lender (including any assignees), and the principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Loan Register”).  The entries in the Loan Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Facility Agent, each Agent and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Loan Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder.  The Loan Register shall be available for inspection by
any Lender, the Borrower and the Servicer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(b)            Each
Person who has or who acquired an interest in a Note shall be deemed by such acquisition to have agreed to be bound by the provisions
of this Section 15.5(b). A Note may be exchanged (in accordance with Section 15.5(c)) and transferred to the holders
(or their agents or nominees) of the Advances and to any assignee (in accordance with Section 15.1) (or its agent or nominee)
of all or a portion of the Advances. The Loan Registrar shall not register (or cause to be registered) the transfer of such Note, unless
the proposed transferee shall have delivered to the Loan Registrar either (i) an Opinion of Counsel that the transfer of such Note
is exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws and
that the transfer does not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or (ii) an express agreement
by the proposed transferee to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 15.5(b) and the restrictions
noted on the face of such Note.

 

(c)            At
the option of the holder thereof, a Note may be exchanged for one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class
and aggregate principal amount at an office or agency of the Borrower. Whenever any Note is so surrendered for exchange, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver (through the Loan Registrar) the new Note which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive at the
Loan Registrar’s office, located at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

(d)            Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through
the Loan Registrar), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and
of a like class and aggregate principal amount.

 

(e)            All
Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be the
valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Note(s) surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

    -135-

     

    

 

(f)            Every
Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Borrower or the Loan Registrar)
be fully endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Registrar, duly executed by
the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

 

(g)            No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Note, but the Borrower may require payment from the transferee
holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer
of exchange of a Note.

 

(h)            The
holders of the Notes shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 15.6     Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. (a)  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Loan Registrar, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver (through the Loan Registrar) in exchange therefor a new Note of like class and tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

(b)            If
there shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Loan Registrar prior to the payment of the Notes (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower or the Loan Registrar that such Note has been
acquired by a bona fide Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Loan Registrar), in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like class, tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

(c)            Upon
the issuance of any new Note under this Section 15.6, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected
therewith.

 

(d)            Every
new Note issued pursuant to this Section 15.6 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the destroyed, lost
or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately
with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 

(e)            The
provisions of this Section 15.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.

 

Section 15.7     Persons
Deemed Owners. The Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and any agent for any of the foregoing may treat
the holder of any Note as the owner of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note may be overdue, and none of Borrower,
the Servicer, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

    -136-

     

    

 

Section 15.8     Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment or registration of transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled. The Borrower shall promptly cancel
and deliver to the Loan Registrar any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Borrower may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Borrower. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or
in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 15.8, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

 

Section 15.9     Participations;
Pledge. (a)  At any time and from time to time, each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, subject to the consent
of the Borrower to the same extent the consent of the Borrower would be required for an assignment by such Lender to such participant
under Section 15.4, grant participations in all or a portion of its Note and/or its interest in the Advances and other payments
due to it under this Agreement to any Person (each, a “Participant”). Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that
(A) any such participation will not alter or affect such Lender’s direct obligations hereunder, and (B) none of the Borrower,
the Servicer, the Facility Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent nor the Servicer shall have any obligation to have any communication
or relationship with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3
and Section 5.1 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.3(f) (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.3(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender))
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Article XV; provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 17.16 as if it were an assignee under this
Article XV; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.3 or Section 5.1,
with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement
to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Applicable Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
Each 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 17.16(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 17.1 as though it were a Lender.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding
anything in Section 15.9(a) to the contrary, each Lender may pledge its interest in the Advances and the Notes to any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with Applicable Law without the prior written consent of any Person.

 

(c)            Each
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 obligations
under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating
to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such 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 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

or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the

and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower during
the existence of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,

of the Borrower to the amounts owed by the Borrower under this Agreement, to the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Custodian, the Securities Intermediary, any Affected Person, any Indemnified Party or any Lender or their respective successors and assigns.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Servicer during the existence of an Event of Default, to the fullest

and the Facility Agent may, from time to time enter into written amendments, supplements, waivers or modifications hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to this Agreement or changing in any manner the rights of any party hereto or waiving, on such terms and conditions
as may be specified in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement; provided, that no such amendment, supplement,

Obligation Amount”, “Eligible Collateral Obligation”, “Material Modification”, “Maximum Availability”,
 “Servicer Default” or any defined term used therein, in each case in a manner which would have the effect of making more credit
available to the Borrower, or make such provision less restrictive on the Borrower or the Servicer in any other material fashion without
the written consent of the Required Lenders, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision adversely affecting the obligations or duties
of the Collateral Agent, in each case without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, (v) amend, modify or waive any provision

the Servicer and the Facility Agent as provided herein, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of such amendment to the Collateral Agent. Any
waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be limited to the provisions specifically set forth therein for the period of time set
forth therein and shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

the date of such determination. In addition, no amount owing by any Conduit Lender hereunder in excess of the liabilities that such Conduit
Lender is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of
the Bankruptcy Code) against such Conduit Lender.

of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Obligations or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation
or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, as the
case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)            At
any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, to replace any Lender, except
(i) the Facility Agent or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Facility Agent or an Affiliate of the Facility Agent,
that (a) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1
or (b) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would entitle such Lender to payment
of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, unless such Lender designates a different lending
office before such change in law becomes effective pursuant to Section 17.16(a) and such alternate lending office obviates
the need for the Borrower to make payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1 or (c) has
not consented to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 17.2 or (d) defaults
in its obligation to make Advances hereunder or (e) is the subject of any Insolvency Event or a Bail-in Action; provided,
that (i) nothing herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its
failure to make any Advance, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts owing
to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) during the Revolving Period, the replacement financial institution,
if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to
make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.4(a), (v) until such time as such replacement
shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Taxes, as the case may be, (vi) any
such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Facility Agent or any other Lender shall have
against the replaced Lender, and (vii) if such replacement is being effected as a result of a Lender requesting compensation pursuant
to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, such replacement, if effected, will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payment thereafter. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver
by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Collateral Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Secured Parties, shall take and retain custody of the Collateral Obligation
Files delivered to it by, or on behalf of, the Borrower for each Collateral Obligation listed on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations
attached to the related Asset Approval Request or the related Reinvestment Request. The Collateral Custodian acknowledges that in connection
with any Asset Approval Request or Reinvestment Request, additional Collateral Obligation Files (specified on an accompanying Schedule
of Collateral Obligations supplement) may be delivered to the Collateral Custodian from time to time. Promptly upon the receipt of any
such delivery of Collateral Obligation Files and without any review, the Collateral Custodian shall send notice of such receipt to the
Servicer, the Borrower and the Facility Agent.

 

(ii)            With
respect to each Collateral Obligation File which has been or will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian
shall act exclusively as the custodian of the Secured Parties, and has no instructions to hold any Collateral Obligation File for the
benefit of any Person other than the Secured Parties and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. In so taking and retaining custody of the Collateral Obligation Files, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed
to be acting for the purpose of perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein under the UCC. Except as permitted
by Section 18.5, no Collateral Obligation File or other document constituting a part of a Collateral Obligation File shall
be released from the possession of the Collateral Custodian.

 

    -149-

     

    

 

(iii)            The
Collateral Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all Collateral Obligation Files in its possession in secure facilities in accordance
with customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the interest of the Secured Parties therein. Each Collateral
Obligation File which comes into the possession of the Collateral Custodian (other than documents delivered electronically) shall be
maintained in fire-resistant vaults or cabinets at the office of the Collateral Custodian. Each Collateral Obligation File shall be marked
with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such manner so as to permit retrieval and access by the Collateral Custodian
and the Facility Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall keep the Collateral Obligation Files clearly segregated from any other documents
or instruments in its files.

 

(iv)            With
respect to the documents comprising each Collateral Obligation File, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as Collateral
Custodian for the Secured Parties, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Collateral Obligation File received by it for the exclusive
use and benefit of the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or
with written instructions furnished by the Facility Agent; provided, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement
and the written instructions of the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent’s written instructions shall control.

 

(v)            The
Collateral Custodian shall accept only written instructions of an Executive Officer, in the case of the Borrower or the Servicer, or
a Responsible Officer, in the case of the Facility Agent, concerning the use, handling and disposition of the Collateral Obligation Files.

 

(vi)            In
the event that (i) the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or the Collateral Agent shall be served
by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Collateral Obligation File or a document
included within a Collateral Obligation File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Collateral
Obligation File or a document included within a Collateral Obligation File shall be required to be delivered other than in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other
parties to this Agreement (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law) copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials
concerning such proceedings. The Collateral Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Collateral
Obligation Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting
or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Collateral Custodian shall dispose of such Collateral Obligation
File or a document included within such Collateral Obligation File as directed by the Facility Agent, which shall give a direction consistent
with such determination. Expenses of the Collateral Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower.

(vii)            The
Facility Agent may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which
are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required
to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Facility Agent; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be
required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Facility Agent, any Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such action,
in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any
provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received
indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent
of the Facility Agent and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Facility Agent within
ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Facility Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the
relevant action.

 

(viii)            The
Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction
of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian,
or the Facility Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an

received by the Collateral Custodian.

 

Section 18.3     Delivery
of Collateral Obligation Files. (a)     The Servicer (on behalf
of the Borrower) shall deliver, on or prior to the applicable Funding Date (but no more than five (5) Business Days after such Funding

the Servicer.

respect to any documents comprising the Collateral Obligation File that have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices
for recording and have not been returned to the Borrower or the Servicer in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required,
in lieu of delivering such original documents, the Borrower or the Servicer shall indicate such on a Schedule of Collateral Obligations
supplement and deliver to the Collateral Custodian a true copy thereof. The Borrower or the Servicer shall deliver such original documents

Section 18.4     Collateral
Obligation File Certification. (a)  On or prior to each Funding Date, the Servicer shall provide a Schedule of Collateral
Obligations and related Document Checklist dated as of such Funding Date to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Facility

Excel format or another format reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Custodian) with respect to the Collateral Obligations to be delivered
to the Collateral Agent on such Funding Date.

 

(b)            Within
five (5) Business Days of receipt of any Collateral Obligation Files, the Collateral Custodian shall prepare a report (substantially
in the form of Exhibit I) in respect of each of the Collateral Obligations, to the effect that, as to each Collateral Obligation
listed on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the related Advance Request or Reinvestment Request, based on the Collateral
Custodian’s examination of the Collateral Obligation File for each Collateral Obligation and the related Document Checklist, except
for variances from the documents identified in the Document Checklist with respect to the related Collateral Obligation Files, (i) all
documents required to be delivered in respect of such Collateral Obligations pursuant to the Document Checklist have been delivered and
are in the possession of the Collateral Custodian as part of the Collateral Obligation File for such Collateral Obligation (other than
those released pursuant to Section 18.5), and (ii) all such documents have been reviewed by the Collateral Custodian
and appear on their face to be regular and to relate to such Collateral Obligation. The Collateral Custodian shall also maintain records
of the total number of Collateral Obligation Files that do not have the documents provided on the Document Checklist and will forward
such total to the Collateral Agent for inclusion in each Monthly Report.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
any language to the contrary herein, the Collateral Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify,
(i) the validity, legality, ownership, title, perfection, priority, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency
for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Collateral Obligation File or (ii) the collectibility,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Collateral Obligation.

(b)            From
time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any of the Collateral Obligations, including, for this purpose, collection
under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral Obligations, the Collateral Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release
and Receipt substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 from an authorized representative of the Servicer (as listed on Exhibit F-1,
as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Servicer with notice to the Collateral Custodian and the Facility Agent (with
a copy to each Agent)), release the related Collateral Obligation File or the documents set forth in such Request for Release and Receipt
to the Servicer. In the event an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Servicer Event of Default or a Servicer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall not make any such request with respect to any original documents other than
in the ordinary course of the Servicer’s business or in connection with any transaction permitted hereunder during the continuation
of such event, unless the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart
to such request). The Servicer shall return each and every original document previously requested from the Collateral Obligation File
to the Collateral Custodian when (x) the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists or (y) the Collateral Obligation File
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Related Security either judicially or non-judicially,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Collateral Custodian a certificate executed by an Executive Officer certifying as to the name and address
of the Person to which such Collateral Obligation File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon
receipt of a certificate of the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3, with a copy to the Facility Agent and
each Agent, stating that such Collateral Obligation was either (x) liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited have been so deposited, or (y) sold pursuant to an Optional Sale
in accordance with Section 7.10, the Collateral Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Request
for Release and Receipt (provided that the Collateral Custodian has received such request by 12:00 p.m. (EST) and if received after
12:00 p.m. (EST), four (4) Business Days of receipt of such Request for Release and Receipt), release the requested Collateral
Obligation File, and the Servicer will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, other than
in the ordinary course of the Servicer’s business or in connection with any transaction permitted hereunder, request any original
documents (other than copies thereof) held by the Collateral Custodian if the sum of the unpaid Principal Balances of all Collateral
Obligations for which the Servicer is then in possession of the related Collateral Obligation File or any document comprising such Collateral
Obligation File (other than for Collateral Obligations then held by the Servicer which have been sold, repurchased, paid off or liquidated
in accordance with this Agreement) (including the documents to be requested) exceeds 5% of the Adjusted Aggregate Eligible Collateral
Obligation Balance. The Servicer may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents and all other property included
in the Collateral that it may from time to time receive hereunder as custodian for the Secured Parties solely at the will of the Collateral
Custodian and the Secured Parties for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Collateral Obligations and such retention
and possession shall be in a custodial capacity only. To the extent the Servicer, as agent of the Collateral Custodian and the Borrower,
holds any Collateral, the Servicer shall do so in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard as such
standard applies to servicers acting as custodial agent. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Collateral Custodian and the Facility
Agent (with a copy to each Agent) the loss by it of all or part of any Collateral Obligation File previously provided to it by the Collateral
Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such loss. The Servicer shall hold (in accordance with Section 9-313(C) of
the UCC) all documents comprising the Collateral Obligation Files in its possession as agent of the Collateral Agent. In such custodial
capacity, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers and duties:

 

    -153-

     

    

 

(i)            hold
the Collateral Obligation Files and any document comprising a Collateral Obligation File that it may from time to time have in its possession
for the benefit of the Collateral Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, maintain accurate records pertaining to each Collateral
Obligation to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and maintain a current inventory thereof;

 

(ii)            implement
policies and procedures consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicing Standard and requirements of this Agreement so
that the integrity and physical possession of such Collateral Obligation Files will be maintained; and

 

(iii)            take
all other actions, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard, in connection with maintaining custody
of such Collateral Obligation Files on behalf of the Collateral Agent.

 

Acting as custodian of the Collateral Obligation
Files pursuant to this Section 18.5, the Servicer agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership
interest in the Collateral Obligations or the Collateral Obligation Files.

 

Section 18.6     Examination

of the Collateral Obligations. Prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Servicer Default
or a Servicer Default, upon the request of the Facility Agent and at the cost and expense of the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian shall
promptly provide the Facility Agent with the Collateral Obligation Files or copies, as designated by the Facility Agent, subject to the
cap on costs and expenses and other terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.9(d); provided, the Collateral Custodian
shall not be required to provide such copies if it does not receive adequate assurance of payment.

 

Section 18.7     Lost
Note Affidavit. In the event that the Collateral Custodian fails to produce any original promissory note delivered to it related
to a Collateral Obligation that was in its possession pursuant to Section 10.20 within five (5) Business Days after
required or requested by the Facility Agent and provided that (a) the Collateral Custodian previously certified in writing
to the Facility Agent that it had received such original promissory note and (b) such original promissory note is not outstanding
pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, then the Collateral Custodian shall with respect to any missing original promissory note,
promptly deliver to the Facility Agent upon request a lost note affidavit.

directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Collateral Obligation Files in the performance of the Collateral Custodian’s
duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Facility Agent or the Servicer to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Collateral
Obligation Files hereunder. In the event the Collateral Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Facility Agent or
the Servicer (as applicable), the Collateral Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally
recognized courier service. The Servicer shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Collateral
Custodian’s option, reimburse the Collateral Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Custodian consistent
with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral Obligation Files as the Servicer deems
appropriate.

 

Section 18.9     Merger
or Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result
from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties
and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of
assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under
this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

 

Section 18.10     Collateral
Custodian Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled
to its fees and expenses from the Borrower as set forth in the Collateral Agent and Collateral Custodian Fee Letter and any other accrued

or the Servicer, or both but without duplication, to the Collateral Custodian (including Indemnified Amounts under Article XVI)

Transaction Documents or in the enforcement of any provision hereof or in the other Transaction Documents. The Collateral Custodian’s
entitlement to receive fees (other than any previously accrued and unpaid fees) shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its
removal as Collateral Custodian and appointment and acceptance by the successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 18.11
and the Collateral Custodian has ceased to hold any Collateral Obligation Files or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 18.11     Removal
or Resignation of Collateral Custodian. (a)  After the expiration of the 180-day period commencing on the date hereof,
the Collateral Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior
written notice to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Facility Agent (with a copy to each Agent); provided, that no resignation
or removal of the Collateral Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed which successor Collateral
Custodian, so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer.
Promptly after receipt of notice of the Collateral Custodian’s resignation, the Facility Agent shall promptly appoint a successor
Collateral Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Servicer,
the resigning Collateral Custodian and to the successor Collateral Custodian.

Facility Agent upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Custodian, may remove and discharge the Collateral
Custodian or any successor Collateral Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement for cause.
Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Custodian. Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original
counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian and the successor Collateral Custodian,
with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer.

Agent, all the Collateral Obligation Files being administered under this Agreement. The cost of the shipment of Collateral Obligation
Files arising out of the resignation of the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 18.11(a), or the termination for cause
of the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 18.11(b), shall be at the expense of the Collateral Custodian. Any cost of
shipment arising out of the removal or discharge of the Collateral Custodian without cause pursuant to Section 18.11(b) shall
be at the expense of the Borrower.

opinion of such counsel.

 

(c)            The
Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith,
or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of
its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties and in the case of the grossly negligent performance
of its duties in taking and retaining custody of the Collateral Obligation Files.

 

(d)            The

as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral,
and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that might in its judgment
involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

has occurred and is continuing or the Facility Termination Date has occurred, request instructions from the Facility Agent, and shall
be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the Facility Agent,

with the instruction of the Facility Agent or the Servicer, as applicable. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for special,
indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral
Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

(i)            Each
of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Section 11.7 and Section 11.8

Custodian as Agent of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Collateral Obligation File at any
time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Collateral Custodian shall be the agent and custodian of the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s
security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status
under the UCC. For so long as the Collateral Custodian is the same entity as the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall be
entitled to the same rights and protections afforded to the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SALISBURY BANCORP, INC.

3.50% FIXED TO FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED
NOTE DUE MARCH 31, 2031

 

1.                 
Subordinated Notes. This subordinated note is one
of an issue of notes of Salisbury Bancorp, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), designated as the “3.50%
Fixed to Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031” (the “Subordinated Notes”) issued pursuant to that Subordinated
Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the date upon which this Subordinated Note was originally issued (the “Issue Date”)
between the Company and the several purchasers of the Subordinated Notes identified in the signature pages thereto (the “Purchase
Agreement”).

2.                 
Payment. The Company, for value received, promises
to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), or its registered
assigns, the principal sum of Twenty Five Million Dollars (U.S.) ($25,000,000), plus accrued but unpaid interest on March 31, 2031 (the
“Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon (i) from and including the original issue date of the Subordinated Notes
to but excluding March 31, 2026 or the earlier redemption date contemplated by Section 4 (Redemption) of this Subordinated Note
(the “Fixed Rate Period”), at the rate of 3.50% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months and payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (each payment date, a “Fixed
Interest Payment Date”), beginning June 30, 2021, and (ii) from and including March 31, 2026 to but excluding the Maturity Date
or earlier redemption date contemplated by Section 4 (Redemption) of this Subordinated Note (the “Floating Rate Period”),
at the rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the Floating Interest Rate (as defined below) determined on the Floating Interest Determination
Date (as defined below) of the applicable interest period plus 280 basis points, provided, that in the event the Floating Interest Rate
is less than zero, then the Floating Interest Rate shall be deemed to be zero, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed and payable quarterly in arrears (each quarterly period a “Floating Interest Period”) on March
31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (each payment date, a “Floating Interest Payment Date”). Dollar
amounts resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded up. The term “Floating
Interest Determination Date” means the date upon which the Floating Interest Rate is determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant
to the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions. 

(a)           
An “Interest Payment Date” is either a Fixed Interest Payment Date or a Floating
Interest Payment Date, as applicable. 

(b)           
The “Floating Interest Rate” means:

(i)            
initially Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined below).

(ii)           
Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 2(b):

(1)           
If the Calculation Agent, determines prior to the relevant Floating Interest Determination Date that
a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each of such terms as defined below) have occurred with respect
to Three-Month Term SOFR, then the Company shall promptly provide notice of such determination to the Noteholders and Section 2(c)
(Effect of Benchmark Transition Event) will thereafter apply to all determinations, calculations and quotations made or obtained for the
purposes of calculating the Floating Interest Rate payable on the Subordinated Notes during a relevant Floating Interest Period. 

(2)           
However, if the Calculation Agent, determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, but for any reason the Benchmark Replacement has not been determined
as of the relevant Floating Interest Determination Date, the Floating Interest Rate for the applicable Floating Interest Period will be
equal to the Floating Interest Rate on the last Floating Interest Determination Date for the Subordinated Notes, as determined by the
Calculation Agent (as defined below).

(iii)         
If the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and any of the foregoing provisions concerning
the calculation of the interest rate and the payment of interest during the Floating Rate Period are inconsistent with any of the Three-Month
Term SOFR Conventions (as defined below) determined by the Company, then the relevant Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions will apply.

(c)           
Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(i)            
If the Calculation Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time (as defined below) in respect of any determination of the Benchmark (as defined below)
on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Subordinated Notes during
the relevant Floating Interest Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(ii)           
In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company will have the right
to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time, and such changes shall become effective without consent from the relevant
Noteholders (as defined below) or any other party.

(iii)         
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company or by the Calculation Agent
pursuant to the benchmark transition provisions set forth herein, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment
or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or
any selection:

(1)           
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

(2)           
if made by the Company, will be made in the Company’s sole discretion; 

(3)           
if made by the Calculation Agent, will be made after consultation with the Company, and the Calculation
Agent will not make any such determination, decision or election to which the Company reasonably objects; and

(4)           
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subordinated Note or the Purchase Agreement, shall
become effective without consent from the relevant Noteholders (as defined below) or any other party.

(iv)          
For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred, interest payable on this Subordinated Note for the Floating Rate Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of
the applicable Benchmark Replacement and the spread specified on the face hereof.

(v)           
As used in this Subordinated Note:

(1)           
“Benchmark” means, initially, Three-Month Term SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark
Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark,
then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

(2)           
“Benchmark Replacement” means the Interpolated Benchmark with respect to the then-current
Benchmark; provided that if (a) the Calculation Agent cannot determine the Interpolated Benchmark as of the Benchmark Replacement Date
or (b) the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date
have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR (in which event no Interpolated Benchmark with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR shall
be determined), then “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined
by the Calculation Agent, as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

a.             
The sum of (i) Compounded SOFR and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

b.             
the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the
Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (ii) the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

c.             
the sum of: (i) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

d.             
the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company as the
replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate
of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (ii) the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(3)           
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the
order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent, as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

a.             
the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may
be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement;

b.             
if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then
the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or

c.             
the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected
by the Company giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread
adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated
floating rate notes at such time.

(4)           
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark
Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Floating Interest
Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates with respect to each Floating Interest Period and making payments of interest,
rounding of amounts or tenors and other administrative matters) that the Company decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of
such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company decides that adoption of any
portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark
Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company determines is reasonably necessary).

(5)           
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events
with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

a.             
in the case of clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the
relevant Reference Time in respect of any determination;

b.             
in the case of clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition
Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the
date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

c.             
in the case of clause (d) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,”
the date of such public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt,
if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect
of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for purposes of such
determination.

(6)           
“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following
events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

a.             
if the Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, (i) the Relevant Governmental Body has not selected or
recommended a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR, (ii) the development of a forward-looking term rate
for a tenor of three months based on SOFR that has been recommended or selected by the Relevant Governmental Body is not complete or (iii)
the Company determines that the use of a forward-looking rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR is not administratively feasible;

b.             
a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark
announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the
time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

c.             
a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator
for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar
insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has
ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication,
there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

d.             
a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

(7)           
“Calculation Agent” means such bank or other entity (which may be the Company
or an affiliate of the Company) as may be appointed by the Company to act as Calculation Agent for the Subordinated Notes during the Floating
Rate Period.

(8)           
“Compounded SOFR” means the compounded average of SOFRs for the applicable Corresponding
Tenor, with the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate being established by the Company or its designee in
accordance with:

a.             
the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by
the Relevant Governmental Body for determining compounded SOFR; provided that:

b.             
if, and to the extent that, the Company or its designee determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be
determined in accordance with clause (a) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate
that have been selected by the Company or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted market practice for U.S. dollar
denominated floating rate notes at such time.

For the avoidance of doubt,
the calculation of Compounded SOFR will exclude the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(9)           
“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including
overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding Business Day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

(10)        
“FRBNY” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

(11)        
“FRBNY’s Website” means the website of the FRBNY at http://www.newyorkfed.org,
or any successor source.

(12)        
“Interpolated Benchmark” with respect to the Benchmark means the rate determined
for the Corresponding Tenor by interpolating on a linear basis between: (1) the Benchmark for the longest period (for which the Benchmark
is available) that is shorter than the Corresponding Tenor and (2) the Benchmark for the shortest period (for which the Benchmark
is available) that is longer than the Corresponding Tenor.

(13)        
“ISDA” means the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any
successor thereto.

(14)        
“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the ISDA or any
successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published
from time to time.

(15)

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions

other administrative matters) that the Company decides may be appropriate to reflect the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark
in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice
is not administratively feasible or if the Company determines that no market practice for the use of Three-Month Term SOFR exists, in
such other manner as the Company determines is reasonably necessary).

(24)        
“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(d)           
In the event that any Fixed Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period falls on a day that

Date shall instead be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day. The term “Business Day” means any day other
than a Saturday or Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions in the State of Connecticut are generally authorized or required

3.                 
Subordination. 

(a)                 
The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by this Subordinated Note, including the principal and
interest on this Subordinated Note, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all existing claims
of creditors of the Company whether now outstanding or subsequently created, assumed, guaranteed or incurred (collectively, “Senior
Indebtedness”), which shall consist of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on: (i) all indebtedness and
obligations of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Company for money borrowed, whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, securities,
notes or other similar instruments, and including, but not limited to all obligations to the Company’s general and secured creditors;
(ii) any deferred obligations of the Company for the payment of the purchase price of property or assets acquired other than in the ordinary
course of business; (iii) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company in respect of any letters of credit, bankers’
acceptances, security purchase facilities and similar direct credit substitutes; (iv) any capital lease obligations of the Company; (v)
all obligations of the Company in respect of interest rate swap, cap or other agreements, interest rate future or option contracts, currency
swap agreements, currency future or option contracts, commodity contracts and other similar arrangements or derivative products; (vi)
all obligations that are similar to those in clauses (i) through (v) of other persons for the payment of which the Company is responsible
or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise arising from an off-balance sheet guarantee; (vii) all obligations of the types referred
to in clauses (i) through (vi) of other persons secured by a lien on any property or asset of the Company; and (viii) in the case of (i)
through (vii) above, all amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of such indebtedness and obligations; except
“Senior Indebtedness” does not include (A) the Subordinated Notes, (B) any obligation that by its terms expressly is junior
to, or ranks equally in right of payment with, the Subordinated Notes, (C) the existing junior subordinated debentures of the Company
(underlying the outstanding trust preferred securities) as of the date of the issuance of this Subordinated Note, or (D) any indebtedness
between the Company and any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. This Subordinated Note is not secured by any assets of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. The term “Affiliate(s)” means, with respect to any Person (as such term is defined
in the Purchase Agreement), such Person’s immediate family members, partners, members or parent and subsidiary corporations, and
any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with said Person and their respective Affiliates.

(b)           
In the event of liquidation of the Company, holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be
entitled to be paid in full with such interest as may be provided by law before any payment shall be made on account of principal of or
interest on this Subordinated Note. Additionally, in the event of any insolvency, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors
or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Notes,
including this Subordinated Note. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to the Senior
Indebtedness, the registered holders of the Subordinated Notes from time to time (each a “Noteholder” and, collectively,
the “Noteholders”), together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on parity with the Subordinated
Notes, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the unpaid principal thereof, and the unpaid interest thereon
before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made (i) with respect to any obligation that
by its terms expressly is junior in the right of payment to the Subordinated Notes, (ii) with respect to the existing junior subordinated
debentures of the Company (underlying the outstanding trust preferred securities) as of the date of the issuance of this Subordinated
Note to which this Subordinated Note shall be senior, (iii) with respect to any indebtedness between the Company and any of its subsidiaries
or Affiliates or (iv) on account of any capital stock.

(c)           
If there shall have occurred and be continuing (i) a default in any payment with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness or (ii) an event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness as a result of which the maturity thereof is accelerated,
unless and until such payment default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payments shall
be made by the Company with respect to the Subordinated Notes. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any payment with respect
to which the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 3 (Subordination) would be applicable.

(d)           
Nothing herein shall act to prohibit, limit or impede the Company from issuing additional debt of
the Company having the same rank as the Subordinated Notes or which may be junior or senior in rank to the Subordinated Notes. Each Noteholder,
by its acceptance hereof, further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration for each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before
or after the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness, and
such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing
to hold or in continuing to hold such Senior Indebtedness.

		4.	Redemption.

(a)           
Redemption Prior to Fifth Anniversary. This Subordinated Note shall not be redeemable by the
Company in whole or in part prior to March 31, 2026 except in the event of a: (i) Tier 2 Capital Event (as defined below); (ii) Tax Event
(as defined below); or (iii) Investment Company Event (as defined below). Upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or
an Investment Company Event, the Company may redeem this Subordinated Note, subject to Section 4(f) (Regulatory Approvals) hereof, in
whole but not in part, at any time, upon giving not less than 10 days’ notice to the holder of this Subordinated Note at an amount
equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date.
“Tier 2 Capital Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that,
as a result of (1) any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or regulations of the United States (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, any agency or instrumentality of the United States, including the Federal Reserve and other federal bank regulatory agencies) or
any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the issue date of this Subordinated Note,
(2) any proposed change in those laws, rules or regulations that is announced or becomes effective after the issue date of this Subordinated
Note, or (3) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting
or applying those laws, rules, regulations, policies or guidelines with respect thereto that is announced after the issue date of this
Subordinated Note, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company will not be entitled to treat the Subordinated Notes then
outstanding as Tier 2 capital (or its equivalent) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board, as then in
effect and applicable to the Company (“Tier 2 Capital”), for so long as any Subordinated Notes are outstanding. “Tax
Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that
as a result of (1) an amendment to or change (including any announced prospective amendment or change) in any law or treaty, or any regulation
thereunder, of the United States or any of its political subdivisions or taxing authorities; (2) a judicial decision, administrative action,
official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement
of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “Administrative or
Judicial Action”); or (3) an amendment to or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an Administrative
or Judicial Action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation,
in each case, which change or amendment or challenge becomes effective or which pronouncement, decision or challenge is announced on or
after the issue date of this Subordinated Note, there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by the Company on the Subordinated
Notes is not, or within 90 days of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal
income tax purposes. “Investment Company Event” means receipt by the Company of an opinion of independent counsel experienced
in such matters to the effect that there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company is or, within 90 days of the date of such
legal opinion will be, considered an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. 

(b)           
Redemption on or after Fifth Anniversary. On or after March 31, 2026, subject to the provisions
of Section 4(f) (Regulatory Approvals) hereof, this Subordinated Note shall be redeemable at the option of and by the Company,
in whole or in part from time to time upon any Interest Payment Date, at an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being
redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral
multiples of $1,000. In addition, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Subordinated Notes, at any time upon the occurrence of
a Tier 2 Capital Event, Tax Event or an Investment Company Event. The redemption referenced in this Section 4(b) (Redemption on
or after Fifth Anniversary) shall be subject to the receipt of any required regulatory approval.

(c)           
Partial Redemption. If less than the then outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated
Note is redeemed, (i) a new Subordinated Note shall be issued representing the unredeemed portion without charge to the holder thereof
and (ii) such redemption shall be effected on a pro rata basis as to the Noteholders. For purposes of clarity, upon a partial redemption,
a like percentage of the principal amount of every Subordinated Note held by every Noteholder shall be redeemed. 

(d)           
No Redemption at Option of Noteholder. This Subordinated Note is not subject to redemption
at the option of the holder of this Subordinated Note. 

(e)           
Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and notwithstanding
that this Subordinated Note has been called for redemption but has not yet been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the date fixed
for redemption interest shall cease to accrue on the portion of this Subordinated Note called for redemption, this Subordinated Note shall
no longer be deemed outstanding with respect to the portion called for redemption and all rights with respect to the portion of this Subordinated
Note called for redemption shall forthwith on such date fixed for redemption cease and terminate unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the redemption price, except only the right of the holder hereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without
interest. For purposes of clarity, any redemption made pursuant to the terms of this Subordinated Note shall be made on a pro rata basis,
and, for purposes of a redemption processed through DTC, on a “Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal” basis, among
all of the Subordinated Notes outstanding at the time thereof.

(f)            
Regulatory Approvals. Any such redemption shall be subject to receipt of any and all required
federal and state regulatory approvals or non-objections, including, but not limited to, the consent of the Federal Reserve. In the case
of any redemption of this Subordinated Note pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 4 (Redemption on or after Fifth Anniversary),
the Company will give the holder hereof notice of redemption, which notice shall indicate the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated
Notes to be redeemed, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the redemption date.

(g)           
Purchase and Resale of the Subordinated Notes. Subject to any required federal and state regulatory
approvals and the provisions of this Subordinated Note, the Company shall have the right to purchase any of the Subordinated Notes at
any time in the open market, private transactions or otherwise. If the Company purchases any Subordinated Notes, it may, in its discretion,
hold, resell or cancel any of the purchased Subordinated Notes.

		5.	Global Subordinated Notes.

(a)           
Provided that applicable depository eligibility requirements are met, the Subordinated Notes owned
by Noteholders that are Qualified Institutional Buyers and/or institutional “accredited investors” shall be issued in the
form of one or more Global Subordinated Notes (each a “Global Subordinated Note”) registered in the name of DTC or
another organization registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
and designated as Depositary by the Company or any successor thereto (the “Depositary”) or a nominee thereof and delivered
to such Depositary or a nominee thereof.

(b)           
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Global Subordinated Note may be exchanged in whole
or in part for Subordinated Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Subordinated Note in whole or in part may be registered, in
the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Subordinated Note or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises
the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with
respect to such Global Subordinated Note, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by
the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no successor is
appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default (as defined in Section 6 (Events of Default; Acceleration)) shall have
occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 5(b),
the Company or its agent shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such
Global Subordinated Note of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Subordinated Notes to such owners of beneficial interests
requesting the same.

(c)           
If any Global Subordinated Note is to be exchanged for other Subordinated Notes or canceled in part,
or if another Subordinated Note is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Subordinated Note, then
either (i) such Global Subordinated Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Section 5 or
(ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled,
or equal to the principal amount of such other Subordinated Note to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may
be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Company or, if applicable, the Company’s registrar and transfer
agent (“Registrar”), whereupon the Company or, if applicable, the Registrar, in accordance with the applicable rules
and procedures of the Depositary (“Applicable Depositary Procedures”), shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized
representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Subordinated Note
by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and deliver any Subordinated Notes issuable in
exchange for such Global Subordinated Note (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary.

(d)           
Every Subordinated Note executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for
or in lieu of, a Global Subordinated Note or any portion thereof shall be executed and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Subordinated Note, unless such Subordinated Note is registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary for such Global Subordinated
Note or a nominee thereof.

(e)           
The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Subordinated Note, shall be the
holder of such Global Subordinated Note for all purposes under this Subordinated Note, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Subordinated Note shall hold such interests pursuant to Applicable Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial
interest in a Global Subordinated Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records
maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary participants. If applicable, the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with
the Depositary for all purposes relating to a Global Subordinated Note (including the payment of principal and interest thereon and the
giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole holder of the Subordinated
Note and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests therein. The Registrar shall have no liability in respect of
any transfers undertaken by the Depositary.

(f)            
The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Subordinated Note shall be exercised only
through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its
participants.

(g)           
No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Subordinated Note held on its behalf by a Depositary
shall have any rights with respect to such Global Subordinated Note, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company and any agent of
the Company as the owner of such Global Subordinated Note for all purposes whatsoever. Neither the Company nor any agent of the Company
will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Global Subordinated Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or any agent of the Company from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial
interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as holder of any
Subordinated Note.

6.                 
Events of Default; Acceleration. 

Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event
of Default”:

 

(a)           
the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company by a court having jurisdiction
in the premises in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization law, now or hereafter
in effect of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, and such decree or order will have continued unstayed and in effect
for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;

(b)           
the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization law, now or hereafter in effect of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or the consent by the Company
to the entry of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any such law;

(c)           
the Company (i) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they mature, (ii) makes an assignment
for the benefit of creditors, (iii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature or (iv) ceases to be a bank holding
company or financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended;

(d)           
the failure of the Company to pay any installment of interest on any of the Subordinated Notes as
and when the same will become due and payable, and the continuation of such failure for a period of fifteen (15) days;

(e)           
the failure of the Company to pay all or any part of the principal of any of the Subordinated Notes
as and when the same will become due and payable;

(f)            
the liquidation of the Company (for avoidance of doubt, “liquidation”
does not include any merger, consolidation, sale of equity or assets or reorganization (exclusive of a reorganization in bankruptcy) of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries);

(g)           
the failure of the Company to perform any other covenant or agreement on the part of the Company
contained in the Subordinated Notes, and the continuation of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which notice
specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and demanding that the Company remedy
the same, will have been given, in the manner set forth in Section 22 (Notices), to the Company by a Noteholder; or 

(h)           
the default by the Company under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for
money borrowed by the Company having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $25,000,000, whether such indebtedness now
exists or is created or incurred in the future, which default (i) constitutes a failure to pay any portion of the principal of such indebtedness
when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period or (ii) results in such indebtedness becoming due or being declared
due and payable prior to the date on which it otherwise would have become due and payable without, in the case of clause (i), such indebtedness
having been discharged or, in the case of clause (ii), without such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been
rescinded or annulled.

Unless the principal amount of
this Subordinated Note already shall have become due and payable, if an Event of Default set forth in Section 6(a) or Section
6(b) above shall have occurred and be continuing, the Noteholder, by notice in writing to the Company, may declare the principal amount
of this Subordinated Note to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately
due and payable, and the Company waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, and all other notices.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the Company will treat the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2 Capital, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 6(a) or Section 6(b), no Noteholder may accelerate
the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Notes and make the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Notes,
immediately due and payable. The Company, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the receipt of written notice from any Noteholder
of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note, shall mail to all Noteholders, at their addresses shown
on the Security Register (as defined in Section 14 (Registration of Transfer, Security Register) below), such written notice of
Event of Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice as certified by the Company
in writing.

 

7.                 
Failure to Make Payments. In the event of an Event
of Default under Section 6(c), Section 6(d) or Section 6(e) above, the Company will, upon demand of the Noteholder,
pay to the Noteholder the amount then due and payable on this Subordinated Note for principal and interest (without acceleration of the
Subordinated Note in any manner), with interest on the overdue principal and interest at the per annum rate borne by this Subordinated
Note, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the Company fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the holder of this Subordinated
Note may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and such amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of such Noteholder, its agents and counsel, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the
same against the Company and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Company.

Upon the occurrence of a failure
by the Company to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Subordinated Note or an Event of Default, until such Event
of Default is cured by the Company or waived by the Noteholders in accordance with Section 18 (Waiver and Consent) hereof, except
as may be required by any federal or state bank regulatory agency, the Company shall not: (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions
on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock; (b) make any
payment of principal or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any indebtedness of the Company that ranks equal
with or junior to the Subordinated Notes; or (c) make any payments under any guarantee that ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated
Notes, other than: (i) any dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares
of, any class of the Company’s common stock; (ii) any declaration of a non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of
a shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any
such rights pursuant thereto; (iii) as a result of a reclassification of the Company’s capital stock or the exchange or conversion
of one class or series of the Company’s capital stock for another class or series of the Company’s capital stock; (iv) the
purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such
capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or (v) purchases of any class of the Company’s common stock related
to the issuance of common stock or rights under any benefit plans for the Company’s directors, officers or employees or any of the
Company’s dividend reinvestment plans (the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) are collectively referred to as the “Permitted
Dividends”).

 

		8.	Affirmative Covenants of the Company.

(a)           
Notice of Certain Events. To the extent permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation,
unless the Company is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide written notice to the Noteholder
of the occurrence of any of the following events as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days following
the Company becoming aware of the occurrence of such event:

(i)            
The Company or any of its banking subsidiaries become less than “well-capitalized” as
defined under the then applicable regulatory capital standards;

(ii)           
The Company, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, or any officer of the Company (in such capacity),
becomes subject to any formal, written regulatory enforcement action (as defined by the applicable state or federal bank regulatory authority);

(iii)         
The dollar amount of any nonperforming assets of the Company on a consolidated basis as of the end
of a given fiscal quarter as a percentage of the Company’s total loan portfolio exceeds four percent (4.00%); 

(iv)          
The appointment, resignation, removal or termination of the chief executive officer and president
of the Company or the Bank; or

(v)           
There is a change in ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled
to vote for the election of directors.

(b)           
Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the
Noteholder that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, and interest on, this Subordinated Note, in accordance with the terms
hereof. 

(c)           
Maintenance of Office. The Company will maintain an office or agency in the town of Lakeville,
Connecticut where Subordinated Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to
or upon the Company in respect of the Subordinated Notes may be served.

The Company may also from time to
time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Subordinated Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the State of Connecticut. The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Noteholders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

(d)           
Corporate Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect: (i) the corporate existence of the Company; (ii) the existence (corporate or other) of each subsidiary;
and (iii) the rights (constituent governing documents and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and each of its subsidiaries;
provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve the existence (corporate or other) of any of its subsidiaries
or any such right, license or franchise of the Company or any of its subsidiaries if the Board of Directors of the Company determines
that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole
and that the loss thereof will not be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Noteholders.

(e)           
Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each subsidiary to, cause all
its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and
supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly
and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8(d) will prevent the Company or any
subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of their respective properties if such discontinuance is, in the reasonable
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company or of any subsidiary, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of its business.

(f)            
Transfer of Voting Stock. The Company will not, nor will it permit the Bank to, directly or
indirectly, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of, securities convertible into, or options, warrants or rights
to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock (as defined below) of the Bank or any successor thereof or any subsidiary of the
Company that is a depository institution and that has consolidated assets equal to 30% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets
(“Material Subsidiary”), nor will the Company permit the Material Subsidiary to issue any shares of, or securities
convertible into, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock of the Material Subsidiary if, in
each case, after giving effect to any such transaction and to the issuance of the maximum number of shares of Voting Stock of the Material
Subsidiary issuable upon the exercise of all such convertible securities, options, warrants or rights, the Company would cease to own,
directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the issued and outstanding Voting Stock of the Material Subsidiary. “Voting Stock”
means outstanding shares of capital stock having voting power for the election of directors, whether at all times or only so long as no
senior class of stock has such voting power because of default in dividends or other default.

(g)           
Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 8(b) (Maintenance of Office), Section 8(c) (Corporate Existence),
Section 8(d) (Maintenance of Properties), or Section 8(e) (Transfer of Voting Stock) above, with respect to this Subordinated
Note if before the time for such compliance the Noteholders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated
Notes, by act of such Noteholders, either will waive such compliance in such instance or generally will have waived compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver will extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly
waived, and, until such waiver will become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such term, provision or condition
will remain in full force and effect.

(h)           
Tier 2 Capital. Whether or not the Company is subject to consolidated capital requirements
under applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve, if all or any portion of the Subordinated Notes ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2
Capital, other than due to the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five (5) years immediately
preceding the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Notes, the Company will promptly notify the Noteholders and thereafter, the Company and
the Noteholders will work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure
the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Notes to qualify as Tier 2 Capital; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 8(g) (Tier 2 Capital) shall limit the Company’s right to redeem the Subordinated Notes
upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event pursuant to Section 4(a) (Redemption Prior to Fifth Anniversary) or Section 4(b)
(Redemption on or after Fifth Anniversary).

(i)            
Compliance with Laws. The Company and each Subsidiary of the Company shall comply with the
requirements of all laws, regulations, orders and decrees applicable to it or its properties, except for such noncompliance that would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) on the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(j)            
Taxes and Assessments. The Company shall punctually pay and discharge all material taxes,
assessments, and other governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or upon any of its properties; provided, that
no such taxes, assessments or other governmental charges need be paid if they are being contested in good faith by the Company.

(k)           
Financial Statements.

 

(i)Unless the Company
is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, not later than forty-five (45) days following the end of each semi-annual
or quarterly period, as applicable, for which the Company has not submitted a Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies
Reporting Form FR Y-9C to the Federal Reserve, upon request, the Company shall provide the Noteholder with a copy of the Company’s
unaudited parent company only balance sheet and statement of income (loss) for and as of the end of such immediately preceding fiscal
quarter, prepared in accordance with past practice. Quarterly financial statements, if required herein, shall be unaudited and need not
comply with GAAP.

 

(ii)       Unless
the Company is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, not later than ninety (90) days from the end of each fiscal
year, upon request, the Company shall provide the Noteholder with copies of the Company’s audited financial statements consisting
of the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the fiscal year end and the related statements of income (loss), stockholders’
equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis throughout the period involved.

 

(l)       Company
Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Noteholders, within one hundred (120) days after the end of each fiscal
year, an Officer’s Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not, to the best of the certifying officer’s
knowledge, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Subordinated
Note (without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace) and if the Company will be in default, specifying all such defaults and
the nature and status thereof of which such officer may have knowledge.

		9.	Negative Covenants of the Company.

(a)           
Limitation on Dividends. The Company shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution
on capital stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Company if the Company is not “well capitalized” for regulatory
purposes immediately prior to or after giving effect to the declaration of such dividend or distribution, except for Permitted Dividends.

(b)           
Merger or Sale of Assets. The Company shall not merge into another entity, effect a Change
in Bank Control (as defined below) or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, unless:

(i)            
the continuing entity into which the Company is merged or the person which acquires by conveyance
or transfer or which leases substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company shall be a corporation, association or other
legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
expressly assumes the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Subordinated Notes according to
their terms, and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereof on the part of the Company to be performed or
observed; and

(ii)           
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default (as defined above), and

means the sale, transfer, lease or conveyance by the Company, or an issuance of equity securities by the Bank other than to the Company,
in either case resulting in ownership by the Company of less than 50% of the Bank.

provided wire instructions to the Company, upon presentation and surrender of this Subordinated Note at the Payment Office (as defined
in Section 22 (Notices) below) or at such other place or places as the Company shall designate by notice to the registered Noteholders
as the Payment Office, provided that this Subordinated Note is presented to the Company in time for the Company to make such payments

hereunder. The Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated
Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Subordinated Notes.
In the event that the Noteholder receives payments in excess of its pro rata share of the Company’s payments to the holders of all
of the Subordinated Notes, then the Noteholder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the other Noteholders and
shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.

13.          
Form of Payment. Payments of principal of and interest
on this Subordinated Note shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.

for each person in whose name a Subordinated Note is to be issued, and accompanied by evidence of compliance with any restrictive legend(s)
appearing on such Subordinated Note or Subordinated Notes as the Company may reasonably request to comply with applicable law. No exchange

Each Note will bear a legend
in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT: (A) PURSUANT TO, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH, A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT THAT IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER; (B) TO A PERSON THAT YOU REASONABLY BELIEVE TO BE A
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR TO A PERSON THAT YOU REASONABLY BELIEVE TO BE AN
INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; OR (C) UNDER
ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (INCLUDING,
IF AVAILABLE, THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR
BLUE SKY LAWS, AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

15.          
Successors and Assigns. This Subordinated Note shall
be binding upon the Company and inure to the benefit of the Noteholder and its respective successors and permitted assigns. The Noteholder
may assign all, or any part of, or any interest in, the Noteholder’s rights and benefits hereunder only to the extent and in the
manner permitted by the terms of this Note. To the extent of any such assignment, such assignee shall have the same rights and benefits
against the Company and shall agree to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement as it would have
had if it were the Noteholder hereunder.

16.          
Priority. The Subordinated Notes rank pari passu
among themselves and pari passu, in the event of any insolvency proceeding, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
reorganization, restructuring of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding or any liquidation or winding up of
the Company, with all other present or future unsecured subordinated debt obligations of the Company, except any unsecured subordinated
debt that, pursuant to its express terms, is senior or subordinate in right of payment to the Subordinated Notes.

17.          
Ownership. Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated
Note for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the holder in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered in the Security
Register as the absolute owner of this Subordinated Note for receiving payments of principal and interest on this Subordinated Note and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Subordinated Note be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary.

18.          
Waiver and Consent. 

(a)           
This Subordinated Note may be amended or waived pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions
set forth herein and as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement. Any such consent or waiver given by the Noteholder shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all subsequent holders of this Subordinated Note and of any Subordinated Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
is made upon this Subordinated Note. No delay or omission of the Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Any insured
depository institution which shall be a Noteholder or which otherwise shall have any beneficial ownership interest in this Subordinated
Note shall, by its acceptance of such Subordinated Note (or beneficial interest therein), be deemed to have waived any right of offset
with respect to the indebtedness evidenced thereby.

(b)          
No waiver or amendment of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement in the Subordinated
Notes shall be effective except with the consent of the Noteholders holding not less than fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount
(excluding any Subordinated Notes held by the Company or any of its Affiliates) of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding; provided,
however, that without the consent of each Noteholder of an affected Subordinated Note, no such amendment or waiver may: (i) reduce
the principal amount of any Subordinated Note; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Subordinated
Note; (iii) extend the maturity of any Subordinated Note; (iv) change the currency in which payment of the obligations of the Company
under the Subordinated Notes are to be made; (v) lower the percentage of aggregate principal amount of outstanding Subordinated Notes
required to approve any amendment of the Subordinated Notes; (vi) make any changes to Section 4(c) (Partial Redemption), Section 6 (Events
of Default; Acceleration), Section 7 (Failure to Make Payments), Section 16 (Priority), or Section 18 (Waiver and Consent) of the Subordinated
Notes that adversely affects the rights of any Noteholder; or (vii) disproportionately affect the rights of any of the holders of the
then outstanding Subordinated Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend or supplement the Subordinated Notes without
the consent of the Noteholders to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to provide for uncertificated Subordinated Notes in addition
to or in place of certificated Subordinated Notes, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder of
any of the Subordinated Notes. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by any Noteholder of the Subordinated Notes, of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law, except as restricted hereby.
The rights and remedies provided in this Subordinated Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or
equity. No notice or demand on the Company in any case shall, in itself, entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Noteholders to any other or further action in any circumstances
without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by the Noteholders to or of any breach or default by the Company
in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default
in the performance of the same or any other obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure on the part of the Noteholders to complain of
any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a
waiver by the Noteholders of their rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by the
Company.

19.          
Absolute and Unconditional Obligation of the Company.

(a)           
No provisions of this Subordinated Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on this Subordinated Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

(b)           
No delay or omission of the Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

(c)           
Any insured depository institution which shall be a Noteholder or which otherwise shall have any
beneficial ownership interest in this Subordinated Note shall, by its acceptance of such Note (or beneficial interest therein), be deemed
to have waived any right of offset with respect to the indebtedness evidenced thereby.

20.          
No Sinking Fund; Convertibility. This Subordinated
Note is not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. This Subordinated Note is not convertible into or exchangeable for any of the
equity securities, other securities or assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

21.          
No Recourse Against Others. No recourse under or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Subordinated Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof, will be had against any past, present or future shareholder, employee, officer, or director, as such, of the Company or of any
predecessor or successor, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly
waived and released by the acceptance of this Subordinated Note by the Noteholder and as part of the consideration for the issuance of
this Subordinated Note.

22.          
Notices. All notices to the Company under this Subordinated
Note shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at 5 Bissell Street, P.O. Box 1868, Lakeville, CT 06039, Attention: President and
Chief Executive Officer, or to such other address as the Company may notify to the Noteholder (the “Payment Office”).
All notices to the Noteholders shall be in writing and sent by first-class mail to each Noteholder at his or its address as set forth
in the Security Register.

23.          
Further Issues. The Company may, without the consent
of the Noteholders, create and issue additional notes having the same terms and conditions of the Subordinated Notes (except for the Issue
Date and issue price) so that such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Subordinated Notes.

24.          
Governing Law; Interpretation. THIS SUBORDINATED
NOTE WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT AND WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE IS INTENDED TO MEET THE CRITERIA FOR QUALIFICATION OF THE OUTSTANDING
PRINCIPAL AS TIER 2 CAPITAL UNDER THE REGULATORY GUIDELINES OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE, AND THE TERMS HEREOF SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN A MANNER
TO SATISFY SUCH INTENT.
