			Exhibit 4.1
		

		
			DULUTH HOLDINGS INC.
		

		
			Description of Securities Registered Pursuant to
		

		
			Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
		

		
			General
		

		
			Our authorized capital stock consists of 210,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. We have not issued any shares of preferred stock. Our common stock is divided into two classes, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Our authorized Class A common stock consists of 10,000,000 shares and our authorized Class B common stock consists of 200,000,000 shares. As of February 2, 2020, we had 3,364,200 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 29,172,369 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Our Class B common stock is our only class of stock registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
		

		
			The following is a summary of the material terms and rights of our common stock and the provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2020, of which this exhibit is a part. This summary is not complete and you should refer to the applicable provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws. 
		

		
			Common Stock 
		

		
			Except as otherwise expressly provided in our amended and restated articles of incorporation or as required by applicable law, the rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except for voting and conversion rights.
		

		
			Voting Rights. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock have identical rights, except for voting and conversion rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided in our amended and restated articles of incorporation or required by applicable law, on any matter that is submitted to a vote of our shareholders, holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to ten votes per share of Class A common stock and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share of Class B common stock. Except as otherwise expressly provided in our amended and restated articles of incorporation or required by applicable law, holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of shareholders.
		

		
			Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, we may not increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single class. In addition, we may not issue any shares of Class A common stock (other than in connection with a reclassification or dividend), unless such issuance is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock.
		

		
			Our amended and restated articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. Furthermore, we have not elected to preserve certain supermajority and class voting requirements that could otherwise, or that we could have elected to apply, to shares of our common stock under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (“WBCL”) because such common stock was authorized or issued prior to 1991.
		

		

		

		 

 

		Conversion Rights. Each share of Class A common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class B common stock. In addition, each share of Class A common stock will automatically without any further action, convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class B common stock as follows: (i) at such date and time, or upon the occurrence of any event, specified by affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, voting as a single voting group; and (ii) upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in our amended and restated articles of incorporation, including transfers to family members, trusts solely for the benefit of the shareholder or his or her family members, partnerships, corporations and other entities exclusively owned by the shareholder or his or her family members and certain transfers to organizations that are exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Once converted or transferred and converted into shares of Class B common stock, the Class A common stock will not be reissued.
		

		
			Dividends. Any dividend or distributions paid or payable to the holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be paid pro rata, on an equal priority, pari passu basis; provided, however, that if a dividend or distribution is paid in the form of Class A common stock or Class B common stock (or rights to acquire shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock), then the holders of the Class A common stock shall receive Class A common stock (or rights to acquire shares of Class A common stock) and holders of Class B common stock shall receive Class B common stock (or rights to acquire shares of Class B common stock).
		

		
			Subdivisions and Combinations. If we subdivide or combine in any manner outstanding shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, the outstanding shares of all common stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.
		

		
			Our Class B common stock is not convertible into any of the shares of our capital stock.
		

		
			Transfer Agent 
		

		
			The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A common stock and Class B common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
		

		
			NASDAQ Global Select Market 
		

		
			Our Class B common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the trading symbol “DLTH.”
		

		
			Anti-Takeover Effect of Governing Documents
		

		
			So long as the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock represent a majority of the combined voting power of common stock, Stephen L. Schlecht will effectively control all matters submitted to our shareholders for a vote, as well as the overall management and direction of our company, which will have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company.
		

		
			After such time as the shares of our Class A common stock no longer represent a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock, the provisions of Wisconsin law, our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company.
		

		

		

		 

 

		Certain provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and of the WBCL may delay or make more difficult acquisitions or changes of control of the Company following the time after which we are no longer a controlled company unless they are approved by the board of directors. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging third parties from making proposals which shareholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests. These provisions may also make it more difficult for third parties to replace our board of directors.
		

		
			Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws 
		

		
			Our amended and restated articles of incorporated and our amended and restated bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of our company, even after such time as the shares of our Class A common stock no longer represent a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock, including the following:
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Dual Class Stock. As described above, our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for a dual class common stock structure, which provides Stephen L. Schlecht with the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval, even if he owns significantly less than a majority of the shares of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets.

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Separate Class A Common Stock Vote for Certain Transactions. Until the first date on which the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock represent less than 35% of the combined voting power of our common stock, any transaction that would result in a change in control of our company will require the approval of a majority of our outstanding Class A common stock voting as a separate class. This provision could delay or prevent the approval of a change in control that might otherwise be approved by a majority of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock voting together on a combined basis.

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Blank-Check Preferred Stock. The authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to effect a change of control of our company.

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our amended and restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for shareholders seeking to bring business before the annual meeting of shareholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at any meeting of the shareholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a shareholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude our shareholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of shareholders or from making nominations for directors at our meetings of shareholders.

 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of March 17, 2020 among TCW DL VII FINANCING LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as borrower (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Borrower”); the LENDERS from time to time party hereto; PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“PNC”), as facility agent for
the Secured Parties (as hereinafter defined) (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Facility Agent”); and STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (as hereinafter

entered into a credit and security agreement, dated as of January 29, 2019 (the “Original Credit Agreement”), amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement by entering into the first amended and restated credit agreement
(the “First A&R Credit Agreement”) and wish to amend and restate the First A&R Credit Agreement, in its entirety; 

WHEREAS, the Borrower desires that the Lenders make advances on a delayed draw term loan basis and a revolving basis to the Borrower on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, each Lender is willing to make such advances to the
Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of
the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS; RULES OF CONSTRUCTION; COMPUTATIONS 

Section 1.01 Definitions. 

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: 

“ABL Facility” means a revolving or term lending facility pursuant to which the loans thereunder are secured by a perfected,
first priority security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment, real estate, oil and gas reserves, vessels, periodic revenues or other assets commonly used as security for asset-based loans, where such collateral security
consists of assets generated or acquired by the related Obligor in its business and for which the amount available to be borrowed from time to time is based on the value of such assets or similar borrowing base calculation. 

“Account” has the meaning specified in Section 9-102(a)(2) of the UCC. 

“Account Control Agreement” means an agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto. 

 “Adjusted Par Amount” means with respect to each Collateral Obligation, an
amount equal to the outstanding Principal Balance of such Collateral Obligation reduced by the greatest of the following, as applicable: 

(a) 20%, if the Collateral Obligation has had a Material Modification; 

(b) 30%, if both: (i) the Leverage through Loan of such Collateral Obligation exceeds 6.00:1.00 and (ii) the Leverage through Loan of
such Collateral Obligation has increased more than 50% from the date the Loan first became a Collateral Obligation; 
 (c) 75%, if the
Collateral Obligation is a Defaulted Obligation; and 
 (d) the First Lien Last Out Loan Ineligible Percentage, if the Collateral Obligation
fails to be an Eligible First Lien Last Out Loan solely due to clause (v) of the definition thereof; 
 provided, in all cases, that the
Principal Balance of any unfunded portion of any Revolving Collateral Loan or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of calculating the Adjusted Par Amount. 

“Adjusted Principal Amount” means an amount equal to the lesser of:

stated to be payable as an amount other than as Administrative Expenses (including, without limitation, interest and principal, other amounts owing in respect of the Advances and the Commitments and the Collateral Management Fees) shall not
constitute Administrative Expenses and (2) Closing Date Expenses, to the extent paid for with proceeds of the Advances comprising the initial Borrowing on the Closing Date, shall not constitute Administrative Expenses and shall be payable only

“Agents” means, collectively, the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent, in each case, in all of their respective
capacities hereunder. 
 “Aggregate Principal Balance” means, when used with respect to all or a portion of the Collateral
Obligations, the sum of the Principal Balances of all or of such portion of such Collateral Obligations.

of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Related Person. 

Section 2.05 Prepayment of Advances. 

(a) Optional Prepayments of Revolving Advances. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay the
Revolving Advances in whole or in part, without penalty or premium; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) (and the Facility Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender)
written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C 

  
 50 

 
hereto not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day that is (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, and (ii) in the case
of Base Rate Advances, one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Borrower or the Collateral Manager and otherwise appropriately completed. Each prepayment of any Revolving Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
 (b) Optional Prepayment of Term
Advances. 
 (i) The Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Term Advances in whole or in part, without penalty or premium,
on any Payment Date; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) (and the Facility Agent shall notify each Term Lender) written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a
“Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day at least five Business Days prior to the related Prepayment Date; provided, that the Borrower may
not sell (and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to release) any Collateral Obligation, unless, as determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.05(b), there will be sufficient funds available in
the Covered Accounts to pay all fees and expenses and all amounts due to Secured Parties in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Any Term Advances so prepaid may not be reborrowed and the Term Commitments shall be reduced and terminated by the
amount so prepaid. 
 (ii) Installments of interest and principal due on or prior to a Prepayment Date which shall not have
been paid or duly provided for shall be payable to the Lenders as of the relevant Prepayment Date. The Borrower shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the funds required for a Prepayment in the Payment Account on or before the Business Day prior
to the Prepayment Date. 
 (iii) Notice of Prepayment shall be given by the Facility Agent on behalf of and at the expense of
the Borrower not less than 5 Business Days prior to the applicable Prepayment Date (as to which the Facility Agent shall have been notified in writing) to each Eligible Hedge Counterparty and each Lender that did not receive notice pursuant to
clause (i) above. 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances and make deposits in the Revolving Reserve
Account on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 9.01(a)(i)(E) and Section 9.01(a)(ii)(B). The Borrower or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf shall
provide, in each Payment Date Report, notice of the aggregate amounts of Advances that are to be prepaid on the related Payment Date. In connection with such prepayment, the corresponding Commitment as of such date shall be terminated in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the amount prepaid on the Advances and (ii) the Total Commitment as in effect on such date 

  
 51 

 (d) Tax Event Prepayment. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances in whole but not in part,
without penalty or premium, and the Commitments shall be terminated in whole, on any Payment Date on or after the occurrence of a Tax Event, upon receipt by the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager of written
direction by any Lender, together with an opinion of counsel substantially to the effect that a Tax Event has occurred or will occur, at least 70 Business Days prior to the related Prepayment Date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the
Collateral Manager in its sole discretion). 
 (e) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.05 shall be (i) subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.10 and (ii) applied to the Advances of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. 

Section 2.06 Automatic Reduction, Conversion and Termination. 

(a) Automatic Reduction; Conversion and Termination. The Total Revolving Commitment (and the Commitment of each Revolving Lender) shall
be automatically reduced to zero at the close of business on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and, without the need for any further action, each Revolving Advance shall automatically convert to a Term Advance and each Revolving Lender shall
automatically be a Term Lender thereafter. On the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Facility Agent shall amend Schedule 1 hereto to take into account the conversion of the Revolving Percentages to Term Percentages. On each date on which any
Commitments are reduced in accordance with Section 2.05(c) or reduced or increased in accordance with this Section 2.06(a), the Facility Agent shall amend Schedule 1 hereto to take into
account such reduction or increase. The Total Term Commitment (and the Commitment of each Term Lender) shall be automatically reduced to zero at the close of business on the Term Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower shall not terminate or
reduce the Total Commitment (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.05) if, to the extent that after giving effect to such reduction or termination, a Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist. 

(b) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) once terminated or reduced may not be
reinstated. 
 Section 2.07 Maximum Lawful Rate. 

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law.
Accordingly, anything herein or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum
lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the
Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower. 
 Section 2.08
Several Obligations. 
 The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any
other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date, neither Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance to be
made by such other Lender. 

  
 52 

 Section 2.09 Increased Costs. 

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, application or implementation of any Applicable
Law (a “Regulatory Change”) after the Closing Date, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or change in the interpretation, application or implementation of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Authority
(whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person, other than with respect to (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clause (iii) through (v) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on Advances, Notes or Commitments, or reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrower shall from time to time, on the Payment Dates (but subject in all
cases to Section 2.04(f)), following such Affected Person’s demand, pay in accordance with the Priority of Payments to such Affected Person such additional amounts as may be sufficient to compensate such Affected
Person for such increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Agents), shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of (i) the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith (the
“Dodd-Frank Act”), (ii) any law, request, rule, guideline or directive promulgated by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or
foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III (“Basel III”), and (iii) any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the U.S. bank regulatory agencies relating to
the Dodd-Frank Act or Basel III (whether or not having the force of law), and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to have been introduced after the Closing Date, thereby constituting a
Regulatory Change hereunder with respect to the Affected Parties as of the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 

(b) If an Affected Person determines that (i) the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the Closing Date
pursuant to or arising out of Basel III or (ii) the adoption after the Closing Date of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity affecting such Affected Person or any holding company for such Affected
Person or (iii) compliance, implementation or application, whether commenced prior to or after the Closing Date, by any Affected Person with the Dodd-Frank Act or Basel III, or any rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives
from bank regulatory agencies promulgated in connection therewith or (iv) any change arising after the Closing Date in the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental Authority, central bank
or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (v) compliance by any Affected Person (or any lending office of such Affected Person), or any holding company for such Affected Person which is subject to any of
the capital requirements described above, with any request or directive issued after the Closing Date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, (A) affects the
amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Person and that the 

  
 53 

 
amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Affected Person’s Commitment under this Agreement or upon such Affected Person’s making, funding or
maintaining Advances or (B) reduces the rate of return of an Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy), then the Borrower shall from time to time, on the Payment Dates (but subject in all cases to Section 2.04(f)), following such Affected Person’s demand, pay in accordance with the Priority
of Payments such additional amounts which are sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increase in capital or reduced return. If any Affected Person becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.09(b), it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agents) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the
Borrower by an Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that
such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event
giving rise to the operation of any such provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.09, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.09 for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. 

Section 2.10 Compensation; Breakage Payments. 

The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates, following such Affected Person’s written
request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds
borrowed by the Borrower to make or carry a Eurodollar Rate Advance made to the Borrower and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of
anticipated profits or margin), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a
Borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Advance by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any of the
Borrower’s Eurodollar Rate Advances occurs on a date that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, (iii) if any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advance is not made on any date specified in a Notice of
Prepayment given by the Borrower, (iv) if any Eurodollar Rate Advance is converted into a Base Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Accrual Period therefor or (v) as a consequence of any other default by

  
 54 

 
the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Rate Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10
submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Agents, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. 
 Section 2.11 Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for a Lender to (i) honor its obligation
to make Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, or (ii) maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Agents and the Borrower thereof, and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances, and such Lender’s outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Advances on the
date that such Lender shall specify to the Agents and the Borrower. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s
suspending its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such
Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office
suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision. 

(c) If prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period, either (i) the Calculation Agent determines that for any reason adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances, or (ii) the Facility Agent determines and notifies the Calculation Agent that the Eurodollar Rate with respect to such
Interest Accrual Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Calculation Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager,
the Agents and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Facility Agent revokes such notice, and all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be converted into
Base Rate Advances on the date that the Facility Agent shall specify to the Borrower. 
 Section 2.12 Rescission or
Return of Payment. 
 The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of
any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made. 

  
 55 

 Section 2.13 Fees Payable by Borrower. 

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Lender, other than a Defaulting Lender, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on
the daily average unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender, for each day during the period from the Closing Date until the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, at a rate equal to (x) 0.60% per annum if and for so long as the outstanding
principal amount of the Advances is less than 50% of the Commitment and (y) otherwise, 0.35% per annum. Commitment Fees accrued during each Collection Period shall be payable on the related Payment Date. All payments by or on behalf of the
Borrower under this Section 2.13(a) shall be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Facility Agent shall determine the amount of each Commitment Fee with respect to each Payment Date and notify the Collateral
Agent of such amount at least three Business Days prior to the related Payment Date. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Structuring
Agent, for its own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Engagement Letter. 
 Section 2.14
Post-Default Interest. 
 The Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations that are not paid when due for the period from the Due Date
thereof until the date the same is paid in full at the Post-Default Rate. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments. 

Section 2.15 Payments Generally. 

(a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other
Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement, shall be paid by the Borrower (through the Collateral Agent) to the applicable recipient in Dollars, in immediately
available funds, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent.
Payments delivered by wire transfer initiated after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. 

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

  
 56 

 Section 2.16 Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts
to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 or any Indemnified Taxes to any Lender pursuant to Section 12.03 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 2.09(b), 2.11(b) or 12.03, respectively, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if a Lender does not consent to an amendment under
Section 12.01(b)(i) or fails to respond to a request for an amendment thereunder within 10 Business Days of a request therefor, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Facility Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing
rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.11 or 12.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Facility Agent the
assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.06; 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Facility Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11 or 12.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and 
 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. 

(b) 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. 

Section 2.17 Increases in Commitments. 

(a) Request for Increase. The Borrower may, by notice to the Facility Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request an increase
in the Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”) by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $800,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum
amount of the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Facility Agent) and (y) the entire remaining amount of increases available under this Section, (ii) the Borrower shall make no more than a total of 5
requests for increases of Commitments under this Section and (iii) the Term Percentage and Revolving Percentage of each existing Lender and any new Lender shall remain in the same proportion following any Incremental Commitment and Schedule
1 shall be adjusted accordingly. 

  
 57 

 (b) Incremental Lenders. An Incremental Commitment may be provided by any existing Lender
or other Person that is an Permitted Assignee (each such existing Lender or other Person that agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that each Incremental Lender shall be subject to
the consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Facility Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment, or to provide a
Commitment, pursuant to this Section and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender. 
 (c) Terms of Incremental
Commitments. The Facility Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date for such increase pursuant to this Section (an “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”) and, if applicable, the final allocation of such
increase among the Persons providing such increase; provided that such date shall be a Business Day at least ten Business Days after delivery of the request for such increase (unless otherwise approved by the Facility Agent) and at least 30
days prior to the Commitment Termination Date then in effect. In order to effect such increase (i) the Borrower, the applicable Incremental Lender(s) and the Facility Agent (but no other Lenders or Persons) shall enter into one or more Joinder
Agreements, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent, pursuant to which the applicable Incremental Lender(s) will provide the Incremental Commitment(s) or, at the sole discretion of the Facility Agent, (ii) the Borrower,
the Lenders, the applicable Incremental Lender(s) and Facility Agent shall enter an amendment and restatement of this Agreement to provide for the Incremental Commitment(s). Effective as of the applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section, each Incremental Commitment shall be a Commitment (and not a separate facility hereunder), each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitment shall be, and have all the rights
of, a Lender, and the Borrowings made by it on such Incremental Commitment Effective Date pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be Borrowings, for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(d) Conditions to Effectiveness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section shall not be
effective with respect to any Incremental Lender unless: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
Incremental Commitment Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase and no Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing on the Incremental Commitment Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase; 

(ii) each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement is true and correct on and as of the Incremental Commitment
Effective Date and after giving effect to such increase, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of or relate to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); 

(iii) the Facility Agent shall have received one or more Joinder Agreements contemplated above, providing for Incremental Commitments in the
amount of such increase; and 
 (iv) the Facility Agent shall have received such legal opinions and other documents reasonably requested by
the Facility Agent in connection therewith. 

  
 58 

 As of such Incremental Commitment Effective Date, upon the Facility Agent’s receipt of the
documents required by this paragraph (d), the Facility Agent shall record the information contained in the applicable Joinder Agreement(s) in the Register and give prompt notice of the increase in the Commitments to the Borrower and the Lenders
(including each Incremental Lender). 
 (e) Adjustments to Revolving Outstandings. On each Incremental Commitment Effective Date, if
there are Revolving Advances then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Advances, and borrow Revolving Advances from the Incremental Lender(s), as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and
borrowings, all Revolving Advances will be held ratably by the Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Lender(s)) in accordance with their respective Commitments after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitment(s). 

(f) Adjustments to Term Outstandings. On each Incremental Commitment Effective Date, if there are Term Advances then outstanding, the
Borrower shall prepay such Term Advances, and borrow Term Advances from the Incremental Lender(s), as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and borrowings, all Term Advances will be held ratably by the Term
Lenders (including the Incremental Lender(s)) in accordance with their respective Commitments after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitment(s).

(o) Consents under Related Documents. The Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall (i) obtain any and all consents required by the
Related Documents relating to any Instruments, Accounts or General Intangibles for the pledge hereunder (except for any customary procedural requirements and agents’ consents expected to be obtained in due course in connection with the transfer

Eligible Foreign Obligor, provide written notice to such Eligible Foreign Obligor of the pledge of such Collateral Obligation to the Collateral Agent hereunder and take such other actions and execute such other documents and instruments (including

obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by either Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of law, the Agents and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption. The Borrower
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agents and the other Secured Parties from any loss, liability or expense incurred as a result of any claim that any such obligation or liability has been so assumed.

the contrary, the Agents shall not have the authority to exercise any of the rights set forth in (i) through (iv) above or that may otherwise arise as a result of the grant until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default hereunder, and such authority shall terminate at such time, if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived. 
 (b) The
assignment made pursuant to Section 7.01 is executed as collateral security, and the execution and delivery hereby shall not in any way impair or diminish the obligations of the Borrower under the provisions of the Sale and
Contribution Agreement or the other documents referred to in paragraph (a) above, nor shall any of the obligations contained in the Sale and Contribution Agreement or such other documents be imposed on the Agents. 

(c) Upon the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than unasserted

 Section 8.02 Interest Collection Account and Principal
Collection Account. 
 (a) (i) In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent has established

(iii) At any time and from time to time, the Borrower may, but is not required to, deposit into the Collection Account amounts comprised of
capital contributions from the Fund or other funds which have been released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Priority of Payments and designated by the Borrower (pursuant to written notice to the Collateral Agent) as Interest

soon as practicable thereafter), sell such distribution or other proceeds for Cash in an arm’s length transaction and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Principal Collection Account; provided that the Borrower need not sell such
distributions or other proceeds pursuant to this Section 8.02(b) if (x) it delivers a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Collateral Agent certifying that such distributions or other proceeds constitute
Collateral Obligations, Equity Obligations or Eligible Investments (including any deferred or capitalized interest with respect thereto) or (y) such distribution or proceeds are otherwise permitted to be held by the Borrower hereunder, it being
understood that such distributions or other proceeds may be required to be sold pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement. 
 (c) At any
time when the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations is permitted pursuant to Article X, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the
Collateral Manager direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and withdraw funds on deposit in the
Interest Collection Account representing Interest Proceeds but only to the extent such Interest Proceeds are used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Obligation and reinvest such funds in additional Collateral Obligations or
exercise a warrant held in the Collateral, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Article X and such certificate. At any time as of which no funds are on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, the Borrower
or the Collateral Manager may by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account
representing Principal Proceeds and remit such funds as so directed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans. 

  
 88 

 (d) The Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Payment Account, from the Interest Collection
Account and the Principal Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 9.01(a), on or before the Business Day preceding each Payment Date, any amounts then held in the Interest Collection Account and the Principal

 Section 8.03 Transaction

 (a) Payment Account. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent has
established at the Custodian a single, segregated securities account together with a related deposit account and titled the “TCW DL VII Financing LLC Payment Account, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent”, which shall be designated

Obligations shall be credited to the Collateral Account; provided, however, (i) it is hereby expressly acknowledged that (A) interests in bank loans (collectively “Loan Assets” and each a “Loan
Asset”) may be acquired by the Borrower from time to time which are not evidenced by, or accompanied by delivery of, a Security (as defined in Section 8-102(15) of the UCC) or an Instrument (as
defined in Section 9-102(47) of the UCC), and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Custodian of a facsimile copy of an assignment agreement (“Loan Assignment Agreement”) evidencing
the assignment of such Loan Assets from the Fund or any third party owner thereof to the Borrower and from the Borrower in blank, and (B) any such Loan Assignment Agreement (and the registration of the related Loan Assets on the books and
records of the applicable obligor or bank agent) shall be registered in the name of the Custodian, and (ii) nothing herein shall require the Custodian to credit to the Collateral Account or to treat as a financial asset (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) any such Loan Asset or other asset in the nature of a general intangible (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC) or to
“maintain” a sufficient quantity thereof. The only permitted withdrawals from the Collateral Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The 

  
 89 

 
Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower and the Collateral Manager prompt notice if (to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent) the Collateral Account or any
assets or securities on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Collateral Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable
or beneficial interest in the Collateral Account other than in accordance with this Agreement, the other Facility Documents and the Priority of Payments. 

(c) Expense Reserve Account. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent has established
at the Custodian a single, segregated securities account together with a related deposit account and titled the “TCW DL VII Financing LLC Expense Reserve Account, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent”, which shall be designated as

beneficial interest in the Expense Reserve Account other than in accordance with this Agreement, the other Facility Documents and the Priority of Payments. 

Section 8.04 The Revolving Reserve Account; Fundings. 

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent has established at the Custodian a single, segregated
securities account together with a related deposit account and titled the “TCW DL VII Financing LLC Revolving Reserve Account, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent”, which shall be designated as the “Revolving Reserve
Account”, which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent. The only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the
Revolving Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Revolving Reserve Account other than in accordance with this Agreement, the other
Facility Documents and the Priority of Payments. 
 Upon the purchase by the Borrower of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan or Revolving
Collateral Loan or, if necessary, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (if not directly deposited into the Revolving Reserve Account in accordance with Section 2.02(a)), funds shall be withdrawn by the Collateral
Agent at the direction of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager from the Principal Collection Account and deposited in the Revolving Reserve Account, (i) during the Revolving Period, in an amount sufficient to ensure no Commitment Shortfall
exists as of such time, and (ii) at all times after the last day of the Revolving Period, equal to the aggregate unfunded commitments in respect of all Revolving Collateral Loans and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans (the amount required to be
on deposit at all times in the Revolving Reserve Account pursuant to such clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Revolving Reserve Required Amount”). 

  
 90 

 Fundings of Revolving Collateral Loans and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans shall be made using,
first, amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, then amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and finally, prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, available Borrowings. 

Amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account may be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Borrower
or the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 8.05, and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, all funds in the Revolving Reserve Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) will be available solely to cover drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans; provided that,
to the extent that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit therein at any time exceeds the Revolving Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Collateral Manager and remit such excess to the Principal
Collection Account, and such amounts will be treated as Principal Collections. 
 Section 8.05 Reinvestment of Funds in
Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent. 
 (a) By delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of
standing instructions), the Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall at all times direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Interest Collection Account, the
Principal Collection Account and the Revolving Reserve Account as so directed in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If
no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower shall not have given any such investment directions, the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after the transfer of any funds
to such accounts and shall promptly invest in “Blackrock Liquidity Fund Money Market account”, which is an Eligible Investment of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Investments” that
mature overnight. If the Collateral Agent does not thereafter receive written instructions from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager within five Business Days after the transfer of such funds to such accounts, it shall invest and reinvest the
funds held in such accounts, as fully as practicable, in “Blackrock Liquidity Fund Money Market account”, which is an Eligible Investments of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of the term “Eligible
Investments” maturing no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower or
the Collateral Manager shall not have given such investment directions to the Collateral Agent for three consecutive days, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in “Blackrock Liquidity Fund Money
Market account”, which is an Eligible Investment of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Investments” maturing not later than the earlier of (i) thirty days after the date of such
investment (unless putable at par to the issuer thereof) or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). Should any such specific Eligible Investment be unavailable,
and in the absence of another proper investment instruction, all such funds shall be held uninvested. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Interest
Collection Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Principal Collection 

  
 91 

 
Account upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Principal Collection Account. The Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall not in any way be held
liable by reason of any insufficiency of such accounts which results from any loss relating to any such investment. 
 (b) The Collateral
Agent agrees to give the Borrower and the Collateral Manager prompt notice if any Covered Account or any funds on deposit in any Covered Account, or otherwise to the credit of a Covered Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment,
warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Covered Accounts shall remain at all times with the Custodian or an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a Moody’s long-term rating of at least “Baa2” and an
S&P long-term rating of at least “BBB”, and having an office within the United States. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall
provide, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower, the Facility Agent or the Collateral Manager may from time to time
reasonably request with respect to the Collateral Obligations, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Collateral Agent by reason of its acting as Collateral Agent
hereunder and required to be provided by Section 8.06 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been
delegated to the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager and the Borrower copies of notices and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Obligation or from any Clearing Agency
with respect to any Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment which notices or writings advise the holders of such Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment of any rights that the holders might have with respect thereto (including, without
limitation, requests to vote with respect to amendments or waivers and notices of prepayments and redemptions) as well as all periodic financial reports received from such Obligor or Clearing Agencies with respect to such Obligor or issuer. 

Section 8.06 Accountings.

occurred during the period covered by such Payment Date Report and, in each such case, if any such event in (i), (ii) or (iii) occurred during such period, setting forth the details thereof and the action which the Borrower is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 In addition, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall provide for inclusion in each Payment
Date Report a statement setting forth in reasonable detail each amendment, modification or waiver under any Related Document for each Collateral Obligation that could reasonably have a material adverse effect on the lenders in the underlying
Collateral Obligation and that became effective during the three month period ending on the Determination Date for the related Payment Date. 

(c) Interest Rate Notice. The Collateral Agent shall include in each Payment Date Report a notice setting forth the interest rate for
the Advances for the Interest Accrual Period preceding the next Payment Date (as communicated to it by the Calculation Agent). 

Section 8.07 Release of Securities. 

(a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may, by delivery of a certificate of a
Responsible Officer, deliver to the Collateral Agent at least one Business Day prior to the settlement date for any sale of a security certifying that the sale of such security is being made in accordance with Section 10.01
and such sale complies with all applicable requirements of Section 10.01, direct the Collateral Agent to release or cause to be released such security from the lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such certificate,
the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver any such security, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such security is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer
thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager in such certificate; provided that the Collateral Agent may deliver any such security in physical form for
examination in accordance with street delivery custom. 
 (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall upon the
delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager) (i) deliver any Collateral, and release or cause to be released such security from the lien of this Agreement, which is set for any mandatory call or
redemption or payment in full to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment in full thereof and (ii) provide notice
thereof to the Collateral Manager. 

  
 93 

 (c) Upon receiving actual notice of any tender offer, voluntary redemption, exchange offer,
conversion or other similar action (an “Offer”) or any request for a waiver, consent, amendment or other modification, in each case, with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Collateral Manager
of such Offer or request. Unless the Advances have been accelerated following an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager may direct (x) the Collateral Agent to accept or participate in or decline or refuse to participate in such Offer and, in
the case of acceptance or participation, to release from the lien of this Agreement such Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Offer against receipt of payment therefor, or (y) the Borrower or the Collateral Agent to agree
to or otherwise act with respect to such consent, waiver, amendment or modification.

 Section 8.09 Closing Expense Account. 

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date, shall establish at
the Custodian a single, segregated securities account together with a related deposit account and titled the “TCW DL VII Financing LLC Closing Expense Account, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent”, which shall be designated as the

application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Closing Expense Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial
interest in the Closing Expense Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments. 
 On the Closing Date,

from the Closing Expense Account, as directed by the Collateral Manager or the Borrower, 

  
 94 

 
to pay all Closing Date Expenses. On the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, all funds remaining in the Closing Expense Account after payment of the
Closing Date Expenses on or prior to such Determination Date shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds and/or the Principal Collection Account as Principal Proceeds, as directed by the Collateral Manager, and the
Closing Expense Account will be closed. By delivery of a certification of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may at any time direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon
receipt of such certification, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds remaining in the Closing Expense Account as so directed in Eligible Investments. Any income earned on Eligible Investments in the Closing Expense Account will be deposited
in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds as it is received and any gains from such Eligible Investments will be deposited in the Principal Collection Account as Principal Proceeds. 

Section 8.10 Collateral Reporting. 

(a) The Collateral Agent shall perform the following functions: 

(i) within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, create a collateral database with respect to the Collateral that has
been pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties from time to time, comprised of the Collateral Obligations credited to the accounts from time to time and Eligible Investments in which amounts held in the accounts may be
invested from time to time, as provided in this Agreement (the “Collateral Database”); 
 (ii) permit access
to the information contained in a secured website maintained by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral Database to the Collateral Manager, the Facility Agent and the Borrower; 

(iii) update the Collateral Database promptly for ratings changes based upon, and to the extent of, information furnished to
the Collateral Agent by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; 
 (iv) update the Collateral Database promptly for
Collateral Obligations, Equity Obligations and Eligible Investments acquired or sold or otherwise disposed of and for any amendments or changes to loan amounts or interest rates based upon, and to the extent of, information furnished to the
Collateral Agent by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; 
 (v) prepare, on behalf of the Borrower, and arrange for the
delivery of each Monthly Report and Payment Date Report; and 
 (vi) provide the Borrower and the Collateral Manager with
such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager and as is within the possession of the Collateral Agent and that can be provided without unreasonable burden or expense. 

  
 95 

 (b) Not later than the day on which each Monthly Report or Payment Date Report is required to be
provided by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall calculate, using the information contained in the Collateral database created by the Collateral Agent and any other Collateral information normally maintained by the Collateral Agent, and subject
to the Collateral Agent’s receipt from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager of information with respect to the Collateral that is not contained in such Collateral database or normally maintained by the Collateral Agent, each item required to
be stated in such Monthly Report or Payment Date Report. 
 (c) Upon notification by the Borrower or Collateral Manager of a proposed
purchase of any security pursuant to this Agreement and written request by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to make such calculations (accompanied by such information concerning the security to be purchased as may be necessary to make the
calculations referred to below), the Collateral Agent shall calculate each criterion included in the Eligibility Criteria, as a condition to such purchase in accordance with this Agreement, in all cases, based upon information contained in the
Collateral database and information furnished by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, and provide the results of such calculations to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager so that the Borrower and the Collateral Manager may determine whether
such purchase is permitted by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a draft of such calculation to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager reasonably promptly after the later of (i) notification of such proposed purchase by the
Borrower or the Collateral Manager and (ii) delivery of all information to the Collateral Agent necessary to complete such calculations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to determine (and the Borrower or
the Collateral Manager will timely advise the Collateral Agent) whether any item of Collateral meets the definition of “Collateral Obligation”, “Equity Obligation” or “Defaulted Obligation” and nothing herein shall
obligate the Collateral Agent to review or examine any underlying instrument or contract evidencing, governing or guaranteeing or securing any Collateral in order to verify, confirm, audit or otherwise determine any characteristics thereof. 

(d) Upon written notification by the Borrower and Collateral Manager of a proposed sale of any Collateral Obligation pursuant to
Section 10.01 of this Agreement and written request by the Collateral Manager to make such calculations, the Collateral Agent shall calculate each criterion set forth in the Section 10.01, if any,
as a condition to such disposition and provide the results of such calculations to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager so that the Borrower and the Collateral Manager may determine whether such sale is permitted by this Agreement. The Collateral

information and notices provided to it by the Collateral Manager (and/or the Borrower) and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Collateral, 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 (except to the extent any such information provided is patently incorrect or inconsistent with any proximally received information or instruction, in which case the Collateral Agent shall
investigate any such information), 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

Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on
the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

  
 107 

 (b) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless
it is signed by the Borrower and the Controlling Lenders, provided that: 
 (i) no such amendment, modification, supplement
or waiver shall, unless by an instrument signed by all of the affected Lenders, (A) increase or extend the term of the Commitments or change the Final Maturity Date, (B) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on
any Advance or any fee hereunder, (C) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (D) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or any fee is payable hereunder, (E) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral, except in connection with dispositions permitted hereunder, (F) alter the terms of Section 9.01 or this Section 12.01(b), (G) modify in any manner the number or percentage of
the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, (H) extend the Revolving Period or (I) amend the definition of “Loan Advance Rate”, “Borrowing Base”,
“Adjusted Par Amount”, “Adjusted Principal Amount”, “Collateral Obligation”, “Concentration Limit”, “Early Amortization Event”, “Event of Default”, “Eligibility Criteria”,
“Eligible Bifurcated First Lien Loan”, “Eligible First Lien Last Out Loan”, “Eligible First Lien Loan”, “Eligible Second Lien Loan”, “Fair Market Value”, “Interest Coverage Test”,
“Loan Rating” “Low Diversity Amount”, “Low Diversity Event”, “Low Diversity Threshold” or “Term Commitment Termination Date”; and 

(ii) any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of Article VIII, Article XI, or of any
of the other rights or duties of either Agent (including the Collateral Agent in its role as Custodian) hereunder, shall require the consent of such Agent. 

(c) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, if the Facility
Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Event has occurred, the Facility Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement; and any
such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Facility Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Facility Agent has not received, by such time, written
notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Controlling Lenders. Until the Benchmark Replacement is effective, each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall continue to bear interest with reference to LIBOR; provided however, during a
Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Rate Advance or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, failing that, any pending request for or conversion to or renewal of a
Eurodollar Rate Advance that has not yet gone into effect shall be deemed to be a request for or conversion to a Base Rate Advance, (ii) all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Advances at the
expiration of the existing Interest Accrual Period (or sooner, if Facility Agent cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Eurodollar Rate Advance) and (iii) the component of any Base Rate Advance based upon LIBOR shall not be used in
any determination of the Base Rate. 
 (d) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a
Benchmark Replacement, the Facility Agent shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Documents, any amendments implementing
such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

  
 108 

 (e) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Facility Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability
Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Facility Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Section 12.01(e) 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, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their
sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to Section 12.01(c).

permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, or by prepaid courier service, or by electronic mail, and shall be deemed

	If to any other Lender:	 	As provided in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such other Lender becomes a Lender hereunder.

 Section 12.03 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made, in accordance with this Agreement,
free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes unless such deduction is required by law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof). If the Borrower shall be required by law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder, under any Note or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, (i) if any such deductions are in respect of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.03) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no deductions in respect of Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Authority in accordance with
Applicable Law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to timely pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or
property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by the Borrower hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement, the Notes or under any other Facility Document except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 12.03(i))) (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”). 

  
 111 

 (c) Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Secured Parties for the full amount of Indemnified
Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.03), together with all reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom, paid by any Secured Party in
respect of the Borrower, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments by the Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made promptly following the date the Secured Party makes written demand
therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent, within 10 Business 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 12.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or
paid by the Facility Agent in connection with any this Agreement or the Notes, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the 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 this Agreement or the Notes or otherwise payable by the Facility Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Facility Agent under this paragraph (d). 

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

(f) If a Secured 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 12.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 12.03(a)), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Secured Party, shall repay to such Secured Party the amount paid over pursuant
to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments
or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to
the Borrower or any other Person. 

  
 112 

 (g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax
with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower 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 or the Facility Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower 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 12.03(g)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
 (A) any Lender that is a United States Person as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility 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 originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Lender that is not a United States Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) (such Lender, a “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), 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 this Agreement, executed originals 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 this Agreement, 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 originals of IRS
Form W-8ECI; 

  
 113 

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

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate 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 on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner; and 
 (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 originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Facility Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; 

(D) If a payment made to a Secured Party under this Agreement or any Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Secured Party 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 Secured Party 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 comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party
has complied with such Secured Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subclause (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.; 

(h) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Secured Party or any taxing Authority for the account of any Lender
or to indemnify a Secured Party pursuant to this Section 12.03, then such Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Lender 

  
 114 

 
determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.09 or Section 12.03, 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. 

Section 12.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay, as an Administrative Expense, on demand all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents in connection with the administration and any waiver, consent, modification, amendment or similar agreement in respect of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents as to their respective rights, remedies and responsibilities. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay, as an Administrative Expense, on demand all costs and expenses of
each of the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant
jurisdiction for each of the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection therewith. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless, as an Administrative Expense, each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, expenses, penalties, actions, suits, judgments and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable and documented fees and
disbursements of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration of or
otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated)
(collectively, the “Liabilities”), including any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of, any one or more of the following: (i) preparation for a defense of any investigation,
litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach or alleged breach of any
covenant by the Borrower contained in any Facility Document; (iii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower contained in any Facility Document or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection
therewith is, or is alleged to be, false or misleading and (iv) any failure to vest, or delay in vesting, in the Secured Parties a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Collateral free and clear of all Liens, other than
Permitted Liens; (v) any action or omission, not expressly authorized by the Facility Documents, by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower which has the effect of reducing or impairing the Collateral or the rights of the Agents or the
Secured Parties with respect thereto; and (vi) any Default or Event of Default; except to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from any Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be liable under this Section 12.04(b) for (x)

  
 115 

 
any special, punitive or consequential damages except in each case in connection with a claim, suit or proceeding filed or made against an Indemnified Person by a person who is not a party to
this Agreement nor an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or (y) any Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

Section 12.05 Execution in Counterparts. 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or
other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 Section 12.06
Assignability; Participation; Register. 
 (a) Each Lender may assign to an assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its outstanding Advances or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Commitment); provided that: 

(i) the Facility Agent has consented thereto; 

(ii) the Borrower has consented thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless
(A) the assignee is a Permitted Assignee with respect to such assignor, (B) the assignment is of the assignee’s Term Advances only and not of any Commitments or Revolving Advances, or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (iii) no such assignment shall be made to any Person that is not a Qualified Purchaser and to any Person that
is not a Permitted Assignee; and 
 (iv) the assignee acknowledges and agrees to comply with
Section 12.03 and shall promptly execute any documents or forms required thereby. 
 The parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Facility Agent an Assignment and Acceptance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in, all or
any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement or any other Facility Document to secure obligations of such Lender or provide liquidity thereto, including any pledge or security interest
granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Facility Agent (or the delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance); provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto. Any purported assignment to an assignee that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 12.06
will be null and void ab initio. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized to acknowledge any Assignment and Acceptance when presented by the Facility Agent and shall be entitled to request such tax documentation from any new Lender as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request so it may make payments to such Lender under the Priority of Payments. Each Lender agrees to provide such requested tax documentation. 

  
 116 

 (b) The Borrower may not assign any of its rights hereunder or any interest herein or delegate
any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Lenders. 
 (c) Any Lender may sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 12.06(c), Section 12.06(e) and
Section 12.09. In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder: 

(i) the agreement pursuant to which such Lender sells such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification, supplement or waiver that requires the consent of all of the Lenders. Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 12.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.09, 2.10 or 12.03 which is greater than the amount the related
Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions, except to the extent the entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation; and 

(ii) such Lender, as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all
participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Advance may be participated in
whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Advance may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the
Participant Register. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Advance or its other
obligations under any agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and
proposed section 1.163-5(b) 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 to the contrary. 

  
 117 

 (d) The Facility Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 12.02 or such other address as the Facility Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement and each signature page hereto and
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders (ii) the amount of each Advance made hereunder by each Lender
to the Borrower, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any principal sum paid by the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share
thereof and (v) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Advances maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon) after giving effect to any assignment hereunder. The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
entries maintained in the accounts and Register maintained pursuant Section 2.03(a) and Section 12.06(d) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Advances
therein recorded; provided that the failure of the Facility Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in
whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide). The Facility Agent shall update and furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower from time to time at the
request of the Collateral Agent or the Borrower an updated version of Schedule 1 reflecting the then-current allocation of the Commitments. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant,
must at all times be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”). Accordingly: 

(i) each Lender represents to the Borrower, (A) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a
signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (B) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is a Qualified Purchaser; 

(ii) each Lender agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its Advances or its Commitment to any
Person unless such Person is a Qualified Purchaser; and 
 (iii) the Borrower agrees that, to the extent it has the right to
consent to any assignment or participation herein, it shall not consent to such assignment or participation hereunder unless it reasonably believes that the assignee or participant is a Qualified Purchaser at the time of such assignment or
participation and that such assignment or participation will not cause the Borrower or the pool of Collateral to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 Section 12.14 Service of Process. 

The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers National Registered Agents, Inc., (the “Process Agent”),
with an office on the Closing Date at 160 Greentree Drive, Suite 101, Dover, DE, 19904 as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and its properties, assets and revenues, service for any and all
legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any action, suit or proceeding brought in the courts listed in Section 12.12 in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility
Document. If for any reason the Process Agent shall cease to act as such, the Borrower agrees to promptly designate new designees, appointees and agents in the United States on the terms and for the purposes of this
Section 12.14 satisfactory to the Facility Agent, which new designees, appointees and agents shall thereafter be deemed to be the Process Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. The
Borrower further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summonses, notices and documents out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or proceeding by serving a copy thereof upon the
Process Agent (whether or not the appointment of the Process Agent shall for any reason prove to be ineffective or the Process Agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by regular or overnight mail, postage
prepaid, to the Process Agent at its address specified above in this Section 12.14. The Borrower agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way
the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of any Secured Party to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in
any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Borrower or bring actions, suits or proceedings against the Borrower in such other jurisdictions, and in a manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law. 

Section 12.15 Waiver of Immunity. 

To the extent that the Borrower or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed
to it, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds, from any legal action, suit or proceeding in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, from the giving of any relief in any
thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or
proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceeding may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and agrees for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties not to plead or
claim, any such immunity, and consents to such relief and enforcement. 

  
 121 

 Section 12.16 Reserved. 

Section 12.17 PATRIOT Act Notice. 

Each Lender and the Collateral Agent hereby notify the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such
actions as are reasonably requested by any Lender or the Collateral Agent in order to assist such Person in maintaining compliance with the PATRIOT Act and any requirements under know-your-customer and other applicable anti-terrorism, anti-money
laundering and similar rules and regulations and related policies. 
 Section 12.18 Legal Holidays. 

In the event that the date of any Payment Date, date of prepayment or Final Maturity Date shall not be a Business Day, then notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement or any Facility Document, payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Payment Date, date of
prepayment or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, and interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after any such nominal date to but excluding such next succeeding Business Day. 

Section 12.19 Non-Petition. 

Each of the Agents, each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees not to institute against, or join, cooperate with or encourage any other
Person in instituting against, the Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws until at least two years
and one day, or if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, after the payment in full of the Advances and the termination of all Commitments; provided that nothing in this Section 12.19 shall
preclude, or be deemed to stop, each Agent and each Lender (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned two years and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, in
(a) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Borrower or (b) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Borrower by a Person other than any Agent, Lender or Secured Party, or (ii) from
commencing against the Borrower or any properties of the Borrower any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding or other proceeding under federal or state
bankruptcy or similar laws. The provisions of this Section 12.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 122 

 Section 12.20 Custodianship; Delivery of Collateral Obligations and Eligible
Investments. 
 (a) The Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, as custodian (in
such capacity, the “Custodian”) and which is so appointed hereby by the Borrower, all Collateral in accordance with the definition of the term “Deliver”. It shall be the sole obligation of the Collateral Manager and
the Borrower to ensure that all Collateral is “Delivered” to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall have no obligation to verify whether such Collateral has been Delivered in accordance with the definition of “Deliver” herein
unless expressly required by the definition of “Deliver” to be performed by the Custodian. The Custodian shall at all times be a Securities Intermediary. Any successor custodian shall be a state or national bank or trust company that has
capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, has a Moody’s long-term rating of at least “Baa2” and an S&P long-term rating of at least “BBB”, and is a Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as
applicable, shall hold (i) all Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments, Cash and other investments purchased in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) any other property of the Borrower otherwise Delivered to the Collateral Agent or
the Custodian, as applicable, by or on behalf of the Borrower, in the relevant Covered Account established and maintained pursuant to Article VIII; as to which in each case the Collateral Agent shall have entered into an
agreement with the Custodian substantially in the form of Exhibit E providing, inter alia, that the establishment and maintenance of such Covered Account will be governed by a law of a jurisdiction satisfactory to the
Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Facility Agent. 
 (b) Each time that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager directs or causes the
acquisition of any Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment, or other investment, the Borrower shall, if the Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment, or other investment is required to be, but has not already been, transferred to the relevant
Covered Account, cause the Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment, or other investment to be Delivered to the Custodian to be held in the Collateral Account (or, in the case of any such investment that is not a Collateral Obligation, in the
Covered Account in which the funds used to purchase the investment are held in accordance with Article X) for the benefit of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement. The security interest of the Collateral
Agent in the funds or other property used in connection with the acquisition shall, immediately and without further action on the part of the Collateral Agent, be released. The security interest of the Collateral Agent shall nevertheless come into
existence and continue in the Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment, or other investment so acquired, including all interests of the Borrower in any contracts related to and proceeds of such Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment, or other
investment. 
 (c) The Custodian hereby agrees to accept the Collateral that is Delivered to it as set forth in
Sections 12.20(a) and (b), to hold the Collateral in safekeeping in the applicable Account or Accounts and to invest, release and transfer the same only in accordance with the written instructions of the Borrower or
the Collateral Manager (prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default) or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Facility Agent (after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default) or as otherwise provided herein or in the Account
Control Agreement. Interest, dividends and any other proceeds received by the Custodian with respect to the Collateral shall be distributed pursuant to the Payment Date Report; provided that the Custodian may from time to time deduct from the
Collateral Account amounts owed to it by the Borrower pursuant to the Account Control Agreement. The Custodian shall not be obligated to review any Collateral delivered to it. 

  
 123 

 (d) The Custodian shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement and may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any written notice, request, waiver, consent or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties. The Custodian shall have no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency, and it is agreed that its duties hereunder are purely ministerial in nature. The
Custodian may consult with and obtain advice from legal counsel as to any provision hereof or its duties hereunder. The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized hereby or
taken or omitted by it in accordance with the advice of its counsel, except, in each case, to the extent such action or omission constitutes bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Custodian. Subject to the terms of the Account
Control Agreement, the Custodian shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. 

(e) Should any controversy arise between the undersigned with respect to the Collateral held by the Custodian, the Custodian shall follow the
instructions of the Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. 
 (f) The Custodian may
at any time resign hereunder by giving written notice of its resignation to the Borrower and the Facility Agent at least 90 days prior to the date specified for such resignation to take effect, and, upon the effective date of such resignation, the
Collateral held by the Custodian shall be delivered by it to such Person as may be designated in writing by the Collateral Agent (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Borrower) acting at the
direction of the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, whereupon all the Custodian’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. If no such Person shall have been designated by such date, all obligations of the Custodian
hereunder shall nevertheless cease and terminate. The Custodian’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep safely all Collateral then held by it and to deliver the same to a Person designated by the Collateral Agent acting at the
direction of the Facility Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or in accordance with the direction of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(g) The Custodian shall have no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith and
without willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. The Custodian shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, statement, notice, resolution, request, direction, consent,
order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. Neither the Custodian nor any of its affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, agents or employees shall be liable to any other party hereto, except by reason of acts or omission constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Custodian’s duties hereunder.
Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Custodian has been advised of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action, except in the case of bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Custodian’s duties hereunder. 

  
 124 

 (h) The Custodian shall have no liability for losses, delays or failures in its performance
arising from (i) any cause beyond its control, including, but not limited to, the act, failure or neglect of any agent or correspondent selected with due care by the Custodian for the remittance of funds, (ii) any acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters, (iii) and delay, error, omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or
operator, or (iv) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers. 

Section 12.21 Amendment and Restatement. 

On the Second A&R Closing Date, the First A&R Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the
First A&R Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except to evidence (i) the incurrence by the Borrower of the obligations under the First A&R Credit Agreement (whether or not such obligations are contingent
as of the Second A&R Closing Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower prior to the Second A&R Closing Date and (iii) any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to such First A&R
Credit Agreement prior to the Second A&R Closing Date. It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the First A&R Credit Agreement be amended and restated hereunder so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all Liens
securing the Obligations under the Facility Documents and that all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall continue to be secured by Liens evidenced under the Facility Documents, and that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or
termination of the indebtedness and obligations existing under the First A&R Credit Agreement. This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar and,
unless specifically amended hereby or by any other Facility Document, each of the Facility Documents shall continue in full force and effect and, from and after the Second A&R Closing Date, all references to the “Agreement” contained
therein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement.

 Schedule 2-2 

 SCHEDULE 3 

LIBOR Definition 
 With
respect to each Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period shall equal the offered rate, as determined by the Calculation Agent, for Dollar
deposits in Europe of the Designated Maturity which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or such other page as may replace such Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page for the purpose of displaying comparable rates) as reported by Bloomberg Financial
Markets Commodities News (or, in the event that Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News ceases to report LIBOR for Dollar deposits, by another recognized financial reporting service) (the “Screen Page”) as of 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date. “LIBOR Determination Date” means, with respect to any Interest Accrual Period, the second London Banking Day prior to the first day of such Interest Accrual Period. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if LIBOR as determined under the method above would be less than zero (0.00), such rate shall be deemed to be zero (0.00) for purposes of this Agreement. 

(ii) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on the Screen Page, the Calculation Agent shall determine
the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks to prime banks in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe of the Designated Maturity (except that in the case where such Interest Accrual Period shall
commence on a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, for a term of the Designated Maturity commencing on the next following LIBOR Business Day), by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR
Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR
Determination Date, fewer than two Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the
Borrower) are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for Dollar deposits in Europe for the term of such Interest Accrual Period (except that in the case where such Interest Accrual Period shall commence on a day that is not a LIBOR
Business Day, for a term of the Designated Maturity commencing on the next following LIBOR Business Day), to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market. 

(iii) In respect of any Interest Accrual Period having a Designated Maturity other than three months, LIBOR shall be determined
through the use of straight line interpolation by reference to two rates calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, one of which shall be determined as if the maturity of the Dollar deposits referred to therein were the
period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the Interest Accrual Period and the other of which shall be determined as if such maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the Interest Accrual
Period; provided that, if an Interest Accrual Period is less than or equal to seven days, then LIBOR shall be determined by reference to a rate calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above as if the maturity of the
Dollar deposits referred to therein were a period of time equal to seven days. 

  
 Schedule 3-1 

 (iv) If the Calculation Agent is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at
least one of the procedures described above, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of the Base Rate for each day during such Interest Accrual Period. 

For purposes of clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) above, all percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if
necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point. For the purposes of clause (ii) above, all percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one thirty second of a percentage
point. 
 As used herein: 
 “Designated
Maturity” means, in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the length of such Interest Accrual Period. 
 “LIBOR Business
Day” means a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in Dollars in New York and London. 

“Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent.

this clause (e); or 
 (f) the Source is a governmental plan; or
