Section 3.          (a)          Establishment

(b)          Status

hereby agrees with the Pledgor and Secured Party that: (i) each Secured Account is a “securities account” (within

(within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC), (ii) each item of property (whether cash, a security, an instrument or
any other property) credited to any Secured Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” (within the meaning of

Secured Accounts or to treat as a financial asset (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) or other asset in the

thereof (within the meaning of Section 8-504 of the UCC), and (iii) each Secured Account and any rights or proceeds derived therefrom
are subject to a security interest in favor of the Secured Party arising under the Loan Agreement. The Pledgor and Secured Party

records as the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to each Secured Account
and the property held therein and the Securities Intermediary agrees to do the same. Notwithstanding any term hereof or elsewhere
to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged that (a) interests in bank loans or participations (collectively “Loan
Assets”) may be acquired and delivered by the Pledgor to the Securities Intermediary from time to time which are not
evidenced by, or accompanied by delivery of, a security (as that term is defined in UCC Section 8-102) or an instrument (as that
term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(4a) of the UCC), and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Securities Intermediary of
a facsimile copy of an assignment agreement (“Loan Assignment Agreement”) in favor of the Pledgor as assignee,
(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 Pledgor, and (c) any duty on the part of the Securities Intermediary
with respect to such Loan Asset (including in respect of any duty it might otherwise have to maintain a sufficient quantity of
such Loan Asset for purposes UCC Section 8-504) shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Securities Intermediary
in the physical custody of any such Loan Assignment Agreement that may be delivered to it. It is acknowledged and agreed that the
Securities Intermediary is not under a duty to examine the underlying credit agreements or loan documents to determine the validity
or sufficiency of any Loan Assignment Agreement (and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or completeness thereof),
or for the Pledgor’s title to any related Loan Asset.

Intermediary, (ii) indorsed to or to the order of the Securities Intermediary or in blank, or (iii) credited to another securities
account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary; and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Secured

the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

(g)          No
Other Agreements. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:

 

(i)           other

ARTICLE IV

 

THE SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY

 

Section 4.          (a)          Performance
of Duties. The Securities Intermediary may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder directly
or by or through agents, attorneys or employees, and the Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care. The Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to
consult with counsel with a national reputation in the applicable matter selected with due care and to act in reliance upon the
advice or written opinion of such counsel concerning matters pertaining to its duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Securities Intermediary shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of the Secured Party.

 

(b)          No
Change to Secured Accounts. Without the prior written consent of the Pledgor and, so long as any Obligations remain unpaid,
the Secured Party, the Securities Intermediary will not change the account number or designation of any Secured Account.

 

(c)          Certain
Information. The Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Pledgor and the Secured Party if a Responsible Officer of
the Securities Intermediary with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement has actual knowledge of or receives
written notice that any Person asserts or seeks to assert a lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against any portion or all of the
property credited to any Secured Account. The Securities Intermediary will send copies of all statements, confirmations and other
correspondence relating to each Secured Account (and/or any financial assets credited thereto) simultaneously to the Pledgor and
the Secured Party. The Securities Intermediary will furnish to the Secured Party and the Pledgor, upon written request, an account
statement with respect to each Secured Account.

 

(d)          
Subordination. In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law
or otherwise a security interest in any of the Secured Accounts, or any financial asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary
hereby subordinates any such security interest therein to the security interest of the Secured Party in the Secured Accounts, in
all property credited thereto and in all security entitlements with respect to such property. Without limitation of the foregoing,
the Securities Intermediary hereby subordinates to such security interest of the Secured Party any and all statutory, regulatory,
contractual or other rights now or hereafter existing in favor of the Securities Intermediary over or with respect to any Secured
Account, all property credited thereto and all security entitlements to such property (including (i) any and all contractual rights
of set-off, lien or compensation, (ii) any and all statutory or regulatory rights of pledge, lien, set-off or compensation, (iii)
any and all statutory, regulatory, contractual or other rights to put on hold, block transfers from or fail to honor instructions
of the Pledgor with respect to any Secured Account, or (iv) any and all statutory or other rights to prohibit or otherwise limit
the pledge, assignment, collateral assignment or granting of any type of security interest in any Secured Account), except the
Securities Intermediary may set off (i) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to any Secured Account but are subsequently
returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds and (ii) reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic
fund transfers.

 

    	-5-

    	 

    

 

(e)          Limitation
on Liability. The Securities Intermediary shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein
and shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers. None of the Securities Intermediary, any Affiliate of the Securities
Intermediary, or any officer, agent, stockholder, partner, member, director or employee of the Securities Intermediary or any Affiliate
of the Securities Intermediary shall have any liability, whether direct or indirect and whether in contract, tort or otherwise
(i) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder or in connection herewith unless such act or omission
constituted gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, or (ii) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Securities
Intermediary in accordance with the terms hereof at the express direction of the Secured Party. In addition, the Securities Intermediary
shall have no liability for making any investment or reinvestment of any cash balance in any Secured Account, or holding amounts
uninvested in such accounts, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The liabilities of the Securities Intermediary shall be limited
to those expressly set forth in this Agreement (which shall not be construed to limit U.S. Bank National Association’s liability
in any of its other capacities under the Transaction Documents). The Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any action
a Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary takes or omits to take in good faith that it reasonably believes to be authorized
or within its rights or powers hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Facility
Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
thereof is received by a Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible for complying with Section 8-505(a) of the UCC. With the
exception of this Agreement (and relevant terms used herein and expressly defined in the Loan Agreement), the Securities Intermediary
(but, for the avoidance of doubt, not U.S. Bank National Association in any of its other capacities) is not responsible for or
chargeable with knowledge of any terms or conditions contained in any agreement referred to herein, including, but not limited
to, the Loan Agreement. The Securities Intermediary shall in no event be liable for the application or misapplication of funds
by any other person, or for the acts or omissions of any other person (including, without limitation, those of the Pledgor).

 

    	-6-

    	 

    

 

(f)          
Reliance. The Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, opinion, report, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing including,
but not limited to, an electronic mail communication delivered to the Securities Intermediary under or in connection with this
Agreement and in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Securities Intermediary
may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts with a national reputation in the applicable matter selected
by it with due care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Securities Intermediary in good faith and
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. If at any time the Securities Intermediary requests
instruction with respect to any action or omission in connection with this Agreement, the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled
(without incurring any liability therefor to any person) to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting
unless and until the Securities Intermediary shall have received written instruction from the party from whom instruction was requested.
The reliances, protections, indemnities and immunities afforded to the Collateral Custodian in the Loan Agreement shall be afforded
to the Securities Intermediary as though fully set forth herein.

 

(g)          Court
Orders, etc. If at any time the Securities Intermediary is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree,
writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects any Secured Account (including, but not limited
to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of any Secured
Account or any financial asset in any Secured Account), the Securities Intermediary is authorized to take such action as legal
counsel of its own choosing with a national reputation in the applicable matter advises appropriate to comply therewith; and if
the Securities Intermediary complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial
or administrative process, the Securities Intermediary will not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or
entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined
to have been without legal force or effect.

 

(h)          Successor
Securities Intermediary.

 

(i)           Merger.         Any
Person into whom the Securities Intermediary may be converted or merged, or with whom it may be consolidated, or to whom it may
sell or transfer its trust or other business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any
such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the Securities Intermediary is a party, shall (provided that
it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Securities Intermediary hereunder) be and become a successor Securities Intermediary
hereunder and be vested with all of the powers, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without the execution
or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(ii)         Resignation.
The Securities Intermediary and any successor thereto may at any time resign by giving forty-five (45) days’ written notice
by registered, certified or express mail to the Secured Party and the Pledgor; provided that such resignation shall take
effect only upon the date which is the later of the effective date of the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary acceptable
to the Secured Party and the Pledgor, as evidenced by their written consent and the acceptance in writing by such successor Securities
Intermediary of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Subject to the preceding sentence, if on the 45th day after written notice of resignation is delivered by a resigning
party as described above no successor party or temporary successor Securities Intermediary has been appointed in accordance herewith,
the resigning party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction in New York City for the appointment of a successor.

 

    	-7-

    	 

    

 

(i)          
Compensation and Reimbursement. The Pledgor agrees: (i) to pay to the Securities Intermediary its fees for all services
rendered by it hereunder; and (ii) to reimburse the Securities Intermediary upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Securities Intermediary in accordance with any provision of, or carrying out its duties and
obligations under, this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and fees and the expenses and disbursements of its legal
counsel).

 

(j)          
Securities Intermediary and their Affiliates. U.S. Bank National Association and any of its Affiliates providing services
in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents shall have only the duties and responsibilities expressly
provided in its various capacities and shall not, by virtue of it or any Affiliate acting in any other capacity be deemed to have
duties or responsibilities other than as expressly provided with respect to each such capacity. U.S. Bank National Association
(or its Affiliates), in its various capacities in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, including
as Securities Intermediary, may enter into business transactions, including the acquisition of investment securities as contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, from which it and/or such Affiliates may derive revenues and profits in addition to the fees stated
in the various Transaction Documents, without any duty to account therefor.

 

(k)          Force
Majeure.  In no event shall the Securities Intermediary be responsible
or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or
military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Securities Intermediary shall use reasonable best efforts
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to maintain performance and, if necessary, resume performance
as soon as practicable under the circumstances

at any time or times, (ii) the correctness of any such financing statement, continuation statement, document or instrument or other
such notice, (iii) taking any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to the Secured Party
or otherwise, or (iv) the validity or perfection of any such lien or security interest.

 

(m)          
Facsimile and Electronic Transmissions.   The Securities Intermediary
agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission
or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided that any person providing such instructions or directions shall
provide to the Securities Intermediary an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate
shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Pledgor elects to give the Securities
Intermediary e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Securities Intermediary’s
understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any losses,
costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Securities Intermediary’s reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Pledgor
agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Securities
Intermediary, including without limitation the risk of the Securities Intermediary acting on unauthorized instructions, and the
risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(i) Subject to Section 5(a)(ii), the Pledgor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Securities Intermediary, its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (collectively referred to for the purposes of this
Section 5(a) as the Securities Intermediary), against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including the reasonable
costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability), or any action in respect thereof, to which the Securities Intermediary
may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action arises out
of or is based upon the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, but excluding any such loss, claim, damage, expense,
liability or action arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Intermediary, and shall
reimburse the Securities Intermediary promptly upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Securities Intermediary in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against
or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action as such expenses
are incurred. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it. The obligations of the Pledgor under this clause (a) are referred to as the “Securities
Intermediary Indemnity”. The provisions of this section will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Securities Intermediary.

 

(ii)         The
obligation of the Pledgor to pay any amounts in respect of the Securities Intermediary Indemnity shall be subject to the priority
of payments set forth in the Loan Agreement and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal
of the Securities Intermediary and the Securities Intermediary shall be considered the Collateral Custodian for such purposes.

 

(b)          Expenses
and Fees. The Pledgor shall be responsible for, and hereby agrees to pay, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the Securities Intermediary in connection with the establishment and maintenance of each Secured Account,
including the Securities Intermediary’s fees and expenses, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses
incurred by the Securities Intermediary as a result of conflicting claims or notices involving the parties hereto, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its external legal counsel, and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the execution, administration or enforcement of this Agreement including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, whether
or not such enforcement includes the filing of a lawsuit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, all amounts
payable by the Pledgor to the Securities Intermediary under this Agreement shall be payable only in accordance with, and subject
to, Section 8.3 of the Loan Agreement and the Securities Intermediary shall be considered the Collateral Custodian for such purposes.

 

    	-9-

    	 

    

 

(c)          No
Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Securities Intermediary
be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to
lost profits), even if the Securities Intermediary has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of
the form of action.

Securities Intermediary represents to and agrees with the Pledgor and the Secured Party that:

It is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and, if relevant
under such laws, in good standing.

 

(b)          Powers.
It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to deliver
this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform

(c)          Obligations
Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

 

(d)          Waiver
of Setoffs. The Securities Intermediary hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that such party may otherwise
at any time have under Applicable Law with respect to any Secured Account except as set forth in Section 4(d).

ARTICLE VII

 

ADVERSE CLAIMS

 

Section 7.          Except
for the claims and interest set forth in this Agreement, no Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary actually knows of
any claim to, or interest in, any Secured Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of
the UCC) credited thereto.   If a Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary
with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement has actual knowledge of or receives written notice that any governmental
authority asserts or seeks to assert a Lien (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process) against any Secured Account or in any financial asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify
the Pledgor thereof (and the Pledgor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof).

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

TRANSFER

 

Section 8.          Except
as provided in Section 4(h), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred
(whether by way of security or otherwise) by any party without the prior written consent of each other party. Any purported transfer
that is not in compliance with this Section 8 will be void.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

TERMINATION

 

Section 9.          The
rights and powers granted herein to the Secured Party have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in each Secured
Account and the financial assets credited thereto, are powers coupled with an interest and will be affected neither by the bankruptcy
of the Pledgor nor by the lapse of time.   The obligations of the Securities
Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the earlier of (a) that date upon which the security interest of the Secured
Party in each Secured Account has been terminated, and (b) that date on which the Secured Party releases or terminates its security
interest in each Secured Account.

ARTICLE X

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.         
(a)          Entire Agreement.     This Agreement and the Loan Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject
matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

 

(b)          Amendments.
No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced
by a facsimile transmission), executed by each of the parties hereto.

 

(c)          Survival.
All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant to or in connection
with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement or such certificate or other document (as the case
may be) or any deemed repetition of any such representation or warranty. In addition, the rights of the Securities Intermediary
under Sections 4 and 5, and the obligations of the Pledgor under Section 5, shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.

 

(d)          Benefit
of Agreement.  Subject to Section 8, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Pledgor, the Secured Party and the Securities Intermediary and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. The Securities Intermediary acknowledges and consents to the assignment of this Agreement by the Pledgor
to the Secured Party for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Loan Agreement.

 

(e)          Counterparts.
This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including
by facsimile transmission and e-mail correspondence), each of which will be deemed an original.

 

(f)          
No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not
be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude
any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(g)          Headings.
The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken
into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

 

(h)          Severability.   If
any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid
or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any jurisdiction), the remaining terms of this Agreement, modified by the
deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect,
and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the
remaining terms of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the
original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not
substantially impair the respective expectations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise
be conferred upon the parties.

 

    	-12-

    	 

    

 

(i)          
No Agency.    Notwithstanding anything that may be construed to the contrary,
it is understood and agreed that the Securities Intermediary is not, nor shall it be considered to be, an agent, of the Secured
Party. In addition, the Securities Intermediary shall not act or represent itself, directly or by implication, as an agent of the
Secured Party or in any manner assume or create any obligation whatsoever on behalf of, or in the name of, the Secured Party.

 

(j)          
Payments by Pledgor. Any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement by the Pledgor shall be paid or caused to
be paid by the Pledgor to the applicable Person on the Distribution Date following such Person’s demand therefor in accordance
with Section 8.3 of the Loan Agreement, provided that such demand is made no later than two (2) Business Days prior
to the Determination Date for the applicable Distribution Date, and the Securities Intermediary shall be considered the Collateral
Custodian for such purposes.
