 SECTION 3. Registered Exchange Offer. 

(a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in
Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), each of the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission on or before the date that is 210 days after the Closing Date (or if such 210th day is not a Business Day,
the next succeeding Business Day), a Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
within 260 days after the Closing Date (or if such 260th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A) all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be
necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all necessary filings in
connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to
permit resales of Initial Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof. 
 (b) The Company and
the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under
applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 business days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The
Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on or before the date that is 300 days after the Closing Date (or if such 300th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 

(c) The Company shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Securities that are Transfer Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than
Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such Initial Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities
Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be
satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by
Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities held by any such
Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 4 

 Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities acquired by
Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer
required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities. 
 The Company shall provide
sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 
 (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company is not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by
applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated within 300 days after the Closing Date (or if such 300th day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), or (iii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or
(B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available
for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of its affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request, the Company and the Guarantors shall

 (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to file or cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”), on or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the 120th day after the
date on which the Company determines that it is not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (or if such 120th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (2) the 120th day after the date on which the Company
receives notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as contemplated by clause (iii) above (or if such 120th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), and (3) the 300th day after the Closing Date (or if such
300th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (such earliest date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of
which shall have provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and 

  
 5 

 (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 390th day after the Closing Date (or if such 390th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 

Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled
to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least
one year following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Initial Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement). 
 (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 Business Days
after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. 

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. If (i) any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not filed with
the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this
Agreement (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 300 days after the Closing Date or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective
but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose for more than thirty days without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is
itself immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased
by 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days after the date of the Registration Default, which rate shall be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such liquidated damages continue to accrue, in each
case until the Registration Default no longer exists; provided, however, that at no time shall the amount of liquidated damages accruing exceed in the aggregate 1.0% per annum. 

All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer
Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full.

 SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with
all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution
thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions: 
 (i) If in the opinion of counsel to the
Company there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the
Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Initial Securities. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take commercially
unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis
prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such
submission. 
 (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in,
a distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise
cooperate in the Company’s preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in
the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital
Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant
to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by
an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by
such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company. 

  
 7 

 (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto each of the Company and the Guarantors will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any
appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof. 

(c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the
sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Initial Securities by Broker-Dealers), each of the Company and the Guarantors shall:

 (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide
all requisite financial statements including, if required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the Guarantors for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any
event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the
period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B),
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by
such Registration Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable
provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 

  
 8 

 (iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and,
if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending
the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of
such order at the earliest possible time; 
 (iv) furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each
selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders and underwriter(s) in
connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
all such documents incorporated by reference) to which an Initial Purchaser of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing within two Business Days after the
receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Registration Statement,
amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission; 
 (v) make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by the Initial Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any
attorney or accountant retained by such Initial Purchasers or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of each of the Company and the Guarantors and cause the Company’s and the Guarantors’
officers, directors and employees to supply all material information reasonably 

  
 9 

 
requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior
to its effectiveness and to participate in meetings with investors to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any; 
 (vi) if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary,
such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities,
information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such
offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

exhibits incorporated therein by reference); 
 (viii) deliver to each selling Holder and each of the
underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby consents
to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto; 
 (ix) enter into such other customary agreements (including, in the
case of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement) and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement
contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, any underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any
Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, each of the
Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in comparable underwritten offerings,
upon the date of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement: 

  
 10 

 (A) a certificate, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement, as the case may be, signed by (y) the President or any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and the Guarantors, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters with respect to
which certificates were delivered under the Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request; 
 (B) an opinion, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, covering the matters set forth in Section 5(c)

 (C) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily requested to be covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with comparable underwritten offerings, and covering or affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered for similar purposes; 

(D) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions

 (E) such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties. 
 If at any time the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contemplated in Section 6(c)(ix)(A) hereof cease to be true and correct, the Company or the Guarantors shall so
advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing; 

(x) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders, the
underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or
underwriter(s), if any, may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
however, that none of the Company or the Guarantors shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to
taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer

with the Trustee and the Holders of Securities to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute and use commercially

  
 12 

 
reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable
such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. 
 Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable
Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of
the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give
any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving
of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest is due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such
Additional Interest, it being agreed that the Company’s option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5 hereof. 

SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 
 (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s and the Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, regardless
of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial Purchaser or Holder with FINRA (and, if applicable, the reasonable
fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue
sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, the Guarantors and, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a
securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special
audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 

  
 13 

 Each of the Company and the Guarantors will, in any event, bear its internal expenses
(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the
Company or the Guarantors. 
 (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being
tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees
and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Latham & Watkins LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such
Registration Statement is being prepared. 
 SECTION 8. Indemnification. 

(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each
Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a
“controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter
be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of
all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission (A) that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any
of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders expressly for use therein or (B) that is included in a Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or document incorporated by reference
therein, which is used, relied upon or disseminated by any Holder or any underwriter for such Holder following the delivery of a notice by the Company to such Holder or any such underwriter pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(B), (C) or (D).
This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have. 

  
 14 

 In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or
proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling
person) shall promptly notify the Company and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Company or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement except to
the extent that the Company and the Guarantors have been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and the Company and the Guarantors will be entitled to participate in and, by written notice
delivered to the Indemnified Holders promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Holders, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to a majority of such Indemnified Holders; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include Indemnified Holders and the Company and the Guarantors, and the Indemnified Holders shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to any Indemnified Holder which are different from or additional to those available to the Company and
the Guarantors, the Indemnified Holders shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Holders; provided, however that the
Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by a majority
of the Indemnified Holders. Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Company and the Guarantors (regardless of whether it
is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Company and the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related
actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time
for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by the Holders. 
 Upon receipt of notice from the Company and the
Guarantors to such Indemnified Holder of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ election to so assume the defense of such action and requisite approval by the Indemnified Holders of counsel, the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable to
such Indemnified Holders under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Holders in connection with the defense thereof unless the Indemnified Holders shall have employed separate counsel in
accordance with the foregoing (it being understood, however, that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (to the extent required in each jurisdiction)).

 The Company and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss,
claim, damage, 

  
 15 

 
liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors shall not, without the prior
written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out
of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding. 
 (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and their respective directors and officers who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or any of the Guarantors, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company
and the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of
investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any in
any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company, the Guarantors or their respective directors or officers or any such controlling person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company and the Guarantors, and the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers
and such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 
 (c) If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which
in the case of the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Company and the Guarantors from the Initial Placement), the amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of the
filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Company
and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the 

  
 16 

 
Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the
second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. 

The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none
of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount
of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective
principal amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
 SECTION 9. Rule 144A and
Rule 144. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company or such Guarantor (a) is not subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such
Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and (b) is subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144. 

SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder
unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and
executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

  
 17 

 SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may, with the consent of the Company, sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and
managing underwriter(s) that will administer such offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such
investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 
 SECTION 12.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Remedies. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate; provided, that
the payment of Additional Interest by the Company in accordance with Section 5 shall be the sole remedy for any Registration Default. 
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Company and the Guarantors will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent
with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its
securities to any Person that would require such securities to be included in any Registration Statement filed hereunder. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to
the holders of the Company’s or any of the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 

(c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the
Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
 (d)
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has (i) in the case of
Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions
hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant
to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or
indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be
effective. 

  
 18

to each additional Lender Agent, at the address set forth in the applicable Joinder Supplement, a duly executed Revolving Note (the “Revolving Note”) to the extent requested by such Lender Agent, in substantially the form of
Exhibit H, in an aggregate face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group’s Group Advance Limit as of the Closing Date or the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, as applicable, and otherwise duly completed. Interest shall
accrue on the Revolving Note, and the Revolving Note shall be payable, as described herein. 
 (b) Advances. On the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may at its option, by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent, from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date until the end of the Revolving
Period (but in no event more than 2 times per calendar week), request that the Lenders make Advances to it in an amount which after giving effect to such Advances, would not cause the aggregate Advances Outstanding to exceed the Maximum Availability
on such date; provided that with respect to an Advance proposed to be funded in connection with the addition of a Loan Asset to the Collateral Portfolio, such Advance resulted in, or results in, Collateral Quality Improvement, determined as

Lenders shall notify the Conduit Lenders in its Lender Group of the requested Advance, and such Conduit Lenders may, in their sole discretion, agree or decline to make the Advance. If any Conduit Lender declines to make all or any part of a proposed

Limit for their Lender Group. Under no circumstances shall any Conduit Lender make any Advance or shall any Liquidity Bank or any Institutional Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the
Collateral Portfolio of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or
would result therefrom or (ii) the aggregate Advances Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Availability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) no

 52 

 
Commitment less the aggregate outstanding amount of any Advances funded by such Institutional Lender, (C) no Conduit Lender shall make any Advance in an amount that would, after giving
effect to such Advance, result in the aggregate Advances then funded by all of the Conduit Lenders in a Lender Group exceeding the Group Advance Limit for such Lender Group then in effect and (D) no Conduit Lender shall make any Advance and no
Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender shall be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate amount of Advances Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Availability. Each Advance to be made hereunder shall be made
ratably among the Lender Groups in accordance with their Group Advance Limits. 
 (c) Notations on Revolving Note. Each
Lender Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Revolving Note with respect to each Lender in such Lender Agent’s Lender Group a notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to each Advance under the
Revolving Note made by the applicable Lender of: (i) the date and principal amount thereof, and (ii) each repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation, absent manifest error, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of any Lender Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to any Revolving Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance
with their respective terms as set forth herein. 
 SECTION 2.02 Procedure for Advances. 

(a) On any Business Day during the Revolving Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances, subject to and in

Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed date of such Advance (which shall be a Business Day), or such shorter notice period as may be agreed upon by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in the form of a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma
effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof), and shall specify: 
 (i) the aggregate
amount of such Advance, which amount shall not cause the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $500,000; 

(ii) the proposed date of such Advance and, if such Advance is to be a Fixed LIBOR Advance, the related Fixed Period (it
being understood that if notice of such Advance is not provided at least two Business Days prior to the proposed Cut-Off Date, then such Advance shall be a Daily LIBOR Advance for two Business Days following which the Advance shall convert to a
Fixed LIBOR Advance); 
 (iii) with respect to an Advance proposed to be funded in connection with the Pledge of
a Loan Asset, a written certification of the Servicer demonstrating that such Advance resulted in, or results in, Collateral Quality Improvement, determined as of the CQI Advance Determination Date; and 

(iv) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been
satisfied. 

  
 53

forth in Article III, each Conduit Lender may, or the related Liquidity Banks, as applicable, and the Institutional Lenders shall, in accordance with instructions received by the Lender Agent for such Lenders from the Borrower, make
available to the Borrower, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing. 

(c) The Advances shall bear interest at the Yield Rate. 
 (d) Subject to Section 2.18 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty,
fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period. 
 (e) A determination by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender Agent of the existence of any Eurodollar Disruption Event (any such determination to be communicated to the Borrower by written notice from the Administrative Agent or such Lender Agent promptly after the
Administrative Agent or such Lender Agent learns of such event), or of the effect of any Eurodollar Disruption Event on its making or maintaining Advances at LIBOR, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(f) The obligation of each Liquidity Bank and Institutional Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that
of each other Liquidity Bank and Institutional Lender and the failure of any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender of its obligation
hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.03 Determination of Yield; Conversions of Advances; Limitations on Fixed LIBOR Advances. 

(a) The Administrative Agent (and the Lender Agents with respect to the Conduit Lenders in their respective Lender Groups) shall

Advances by giving the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the
initial Fixed Period therefor); provided that no Daily LIBOR Advances may be converted into Fixed LIBOR Advances after the earliest to occur of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date. 

(c) Any Fixed LIBOR Advance may be continued in whole or in part (including by combining with other Fixed LIBOR Advances that have Fixed
Periods expiring on the same date or with Daily LIBOR 

  
 54 

 
Advances) upon the expiration of the then current Fixed Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and Lender Agents not later than
2:00 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Fixed Period setting forth the length of the next Fixed Period to be applicable to such Fixed LIBOR Advance; provided that no Fixed LIBOR Advance may be
continued after the earliest to occur of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date; provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph
or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Advance shall be automatically converted to a Daily LIBOR Advance on the last day of such then expiring Fixed Period. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Fixed LIBOR Advances and
all selections of Fixed Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of Fixed LIBOR Advances allocated to each Fixed Period shall be equal to
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Fixed Periods shall be outstanding at any one time.

with any violation by such Loan Asset of any 

  
 61 

 
predatory or abusive lending law which is an Applicable Law (a notification regarding the amount of such expenses or fees to be provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower);
provided that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine whether the amount so deposited is sufficient to satisfy the foregoing requirements; or 

(ii) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, substitute for such Warranty Loan
Asset a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset; 
 provided, that so long as (i) no Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or CQT
Non-Qualification Period is continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) the Commitment Termination Date has not occurred and is not scheduled or anticipated to occur within the later of (A) 30 days from the related Cut-Off Date or

be required to take the actions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above until the relevant Cure Date therefor, and (y) if, prior to such Cure Date the Servicer and the Borrower each certifies to the Administrative Agent that all
breaches of representations or warranties that resulted in the occurrence of a Warranty Event have been cured in full, then such Loan Asset shall no longer be considered a “Warranty Loan Asset” hereunder; provided, that until such
time, such Loan Asset shall not constitute an Eligible Loan Asset. 
 (f) Release of Lien. Upon confirmation by the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of:

to become due with respect thereto.

(h) Affiliate Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, no
Transferor (or any Affiliate thereof) shall reacquire from the Borrower and the Borrower shall not transfer to the Transferor or any Affiliate of the Transferor, and neither the Transferor nor any of its Affiliates will have a right or ability to

shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof so that funds are received by the Lenders no later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States (including, with respect to Foreign Currency Loan Assets,
pursuant to Hedging Agreements) in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as is designated by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to
the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due to any of the Secured Parties hereunder at 2.25% per annum above the Base Rate (other than with respect to any Advances outstanding, which shall accrue at the
Yield Rate), payable on demand, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment); provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.
Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All
computations of interest and all computations of Yield and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed, other than calculations with
respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. 
 (b) Whenever any
payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any
fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. 
 (c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative
Agent and the Lender Agents pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent or an Affiliate thereof as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense
incurred by such Lender related 

  
 65 

 
thereto (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or
an Affiliate thereof as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction), including, without limitation, any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses but excluding lost profits), cost or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss,
cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.09 Undrawn
Fee. The Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender (either directly or through the applicable Lender Agent), an undrawn fee (the “Undrawn Fee”) payable in arrears for each
Remittance Period, equal to the sum of the products for each day during such Remittance Period of (i) one divided by 360, (ii) the applicable Undrawn Fee Rate on such day, and (iii) the Undrawn Fee Calculation Basis on such day minus
the Advances Outstanding on such day (the amount set forth in this clause (iii), the “Unused Portion”). 
 SECTION 2.10
Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change that becomes
effective following the date hereof (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the date hereof of any Applicable Law
(including, without limitation, any law or regulation resulting in any interest payments paid to any Lender under this Agreement being subject to any Tax, except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), in each case whether foreign or domestic,
including under Basel III or Dodd-Frank, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request following the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including under Basel III or
Dodd-Frank, there shall be any increase in the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank or any Affiliate, participant, successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected
Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Party hereunder), as the case may be,
or there shall be any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, under any other Transaction Document or any Liquidity Agreement, the Borrower shall, from time to time, after written demand
by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf of such Affected Party, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs or reduced payments within 10 days after such demand; provided that the amounts payable under this Section 2.10 shall be without duplication
of amounts payable under Section 2.11 and shall not include any Excluded Taxes. 
 (b) If either (i) the
introduction of or any change that becomes effective following the date hereof in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the date hereof of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the
compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the date hereof, from any central bank, any Governmental Authority or agency, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, including under Basel III or Dodd-Frank, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party, as a

  
 66 

 
consequence of its obligations hereunder or any related document or arising in connection herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for
such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, from time to time, after demand by such
Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and certifying that such demand is being made as a general policy of such Affected Party in the majority of similar
transactions in which such claim had or would have an impact on such Affected Party’s rate of return, capital requirements or other economic loss), the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party such additional
amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in cost or reduction in Yield with respect to any Affected Party caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to FAS 166, 167 and
subsequent statements and interpretations shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.10. 
 (c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10, (i) any Affected Party is required to
compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten
days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it, or (ii) the Administrative
Agent (whether in its own judgment or, if Citibank is no longer serving as Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders) deems it necessary or appropriate to obtain a credit rating on the Revolving Notes, the Borrower shall
(x) provide (as promptly as possible and in any event no later than 60 days following receipt by the Borrower of such reasonable request) at least one Rating Agency designated by the Administrative Agent with all information and documents
reasonably requested by such Rating Agency (to the extent such information or documents are in the possession of or reasonably available to the Borrower) and otherwise cooperate with such Rating Agency’s review of the Transaction Documents and
transactions contemplated hereby, and (y) pay the costs and expenses of such Rating Agency in respect of the rating of the Revolving Notes. 
 (d) For avoidance of doubt, in connection with the interpretation of clause (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10, any regulatory changes, rules, guidelines or directives
under or issued in connection with Basel III or Dodd-Frank will be considered as a “change” hereunder, and will not be treated as having been adopted or having come into effect before the date hereof. 

(e) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.10, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of
such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (f) Failure or delay on the
part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation. 

  
 67 

 SECTION 2.11 Taxes. 
 (a) All payments made by an Obligor in respect of a Loan Asset and all payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of
and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount of such increase,
the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have
been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower or Servicer under this Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to
Excluded Taxes, and no Borrower or Servicer shall have an obligation to indemnify any Lender for Excluded Taxes. 
 (b) The
Borrower will indemnify from funds available to it pursuant to Section 2.04 (and to the extent the funds available for indemnification provided by the Borrower are insufficient the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, will indemnify)
each Indemnified Party for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Person in respect of Additional Amounts and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in respect of this
indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower. 
 (c)
Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents at the applicable
address set forth on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof. 
 (d) Each Lender (including any assignee
thereof) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Servicer two
copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S.
federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit R to the effect that such Lender is eligible for an exemption
from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in every case with any required attachments and properly completed and duly executed and
claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Servicer two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be
delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon receiving notice of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by
such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Servicer at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower or the Servicer (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to
deliver. 

  
 68 

 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Servicer, at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicer, such properly completed and executed documentation or information prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate
(or otherwise permit the Borrower and the Servicer to determine the applicable rate of withholding), provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable
judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 
 (f) If
any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it was indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11 or with respect to which the Borrower or the Servicer has paid
Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11 or Section 2.10, it shall pay to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by the Borrower or the Servicer under this Section 2.11 or Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including additional
Taxes, if any) of such Lender, as the case may be, incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) 

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower and the Servicer hereunder, the agreements and obligations
of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.12
Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any
obligations under) the Contribution Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), the Loan Agreements related to each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or
guarantying any Loan Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under Article IX of the Contribution Agreement. The Borrower confirms that until the
Collection Date the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Contribution Agreement and any UCC financing
statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Collection
Date. 
 SECTION 2.13 Grant of a Security Interest. To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by
lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter
existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Borrower hereby (a) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and (b) grants a security interest to the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, 

  
 69 

 
to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral Portfolio, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Portfolio shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the
Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral Portfolio to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral Portfolio shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral Portfolio, and (c) none of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor its successors and assigns), any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral Portfolio by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor its successors and assigns), any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any
action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.14 Evidence of Debt. The Administrative Agent shall
maintain, solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 12.02 a copy of each assignment and acceptance agreement and participation agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, each Lender and each Lender Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender
Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If a Lender sells a participation, the Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any
commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Administrative Agent 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. 
 SECTION 2.15 Survival of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 are made
and are true and correct on the date of this Agreement and on each Cut-Off Date unless such representations and warranties are made as of a specific date. 
 SECTION 2.16 Release of Loan Assets. 
 (a) The Borrower may obtain the
release of (i) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) removed from the Collateral Portfolio pursuant to a Loan Asset Dividend or an URC Loan Asset Dividend or sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable
provisions of 

  
 70 

 
Section 2.07 and any Portfolio Assets pertaining to such Loan Asset and (ii) any Loan Asset or any other asset in the Collateral Portfolio that expires by its terms and all
amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall at the sole expense of the Borrower and at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, give notice of such release to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit M) (unless the
Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by
the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower. 
 (b) Promptly after the Collection Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent (and to the extent that the Borrower identifies Liens held by such Persons, any Lender, Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent),
at the direction of the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower, for no consideration but at the sole expense of the Borrower, its remaining interests in the Portfolio Assets, free and clear of any Lien resulting solely from an act by the
Collateral Agent (and to the extent that the Borrower identifies Liens held by such Persons, any Lender, Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent), but without any other representation or warranty, express or implied, by or recourse against the
Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent or the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.17 Treatment of Amounts Deposited by the
Borrower. Amounts deposited by the Borrower in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets
hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.18 Mandatory and Voluntary Prepayments; Termination. 

(a) On each of the 4th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Payment Dates following the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date and on the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Borrower
shall reduce the Advances Outstanding by depositing in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Amortization Principal Reduction Amount applicable to each such Payment Date. 

(b) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including, without limitation, any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base
Deficiency, Advances may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the Lender Agents at least three Business Days prior to such reduction. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay in full any Breakage Fees (solely to the extent such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date) and other
accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been
remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion and (ii) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of
Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating
to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) shall be irrevocable. 

  
 71 

 (c) The Borrower may, at its option, permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments hereunder
upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents, subject to the payment of any Borrowing Base Deficiency resulting from such permanent reduction, together with accrued and unpaid Yield
and Breakage Fees (if any) relating thereto, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders, pro rata to each Lender Agent (for the account of the applicable Lender); provided, in
no event shall the Borrower have the right under this Section 2.18(c) to permanently reduce Aggregate Commitments below $250,000,000 without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders. Upon the effectuation of any reduction in
Aggregate Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.18(c), the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender Agent a revised Annex A indicating the pro rata reduction of each Liquidity Bank’s and
Institutional Lender’s Commitment effectuated under this Section 2.18(c) (unless a non-pro rata allocation is otherwise agreed to in writing by any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender in its sole discretion). 

(d) The Borrower may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon 15 Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents and upon payment in full of all outstanding Advances; all accrued and unpaid Yield; any Breakage Fees; all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lender
Agents and Lenders and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations). Any termination of this Agreement shall be subject to Section 12.05. 

SECTION 2.19 Collections and Allocations. 
 (a) The Servicer shall direct any agent or administrative agent for any Loan Asset to remit all cash Collections with respect to such Loan Asset, and, if applicable, to direct the Obligor with respect to
such Loan Asset to remit all cash Collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the Collection Account and all other Collections as directed by the Collateral Agent. The Borrower and the Servicer shall take commercially reasonable steps to
ensure that only funds constituting cash Collections relating to Loan Assets shall be deposited into the Collection Account 

(b) The Servicer shall promptly identify any Collections received as being on account of Interest Collections, Principal Collections or
other Available Collections and shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Available Collections received directly by it to the Collection Account by the close of business two Business Days after such Collections are received. Upon the transfer
of Available Collections to the Collection Account, the Servicer shall segregate Principal Collections and Interest Collections and direct the Account Bank to transfer the same to the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection
Subaccount, respectively. The Servicer shall further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection Subaccount on each Reporting
Date in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b). 
 (c) On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any
Loan Asset, the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral Portfolio on such date. 

(d) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent
and the Account Bank), (i) prior to any Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts, or (ii) from and after any Notice of Exclusive Control, the
Servicer may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Servicer any deposits thereto 

  
 72 

 
constituting Excluded Amounts, in each case, if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent or request and consent, as applicable, delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender
Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Agent. 
 (e) Prior to any Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent (and the Collateral Agent
shall direct the Account Bank) to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Collection Account in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds
shall not be invested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in the Collection Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity,
unless the Servicer determines in its good faith commercial judgment that there is substantial risk of material deterioration of such Permitted Investment. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its
nominee for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and otherwise comply with assumptions of the legal opinions of Latham & Watkins LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., each dated the Closing Date and
delivered in connection with this Agreement; provided that compliance shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and the Servicer and not the Collateral Agent and Account Bank. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well
as any interest earned on deposits in the Collection Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. In the event the Borrower or Servicer direct the funds to be invested in investments which are not
Permitted Investments, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein), as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such
investment, immediately upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or
lack of investment, of funds held in the Collection Account, other than with respect to fraud or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto acknowledge
that the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank or any of their respective Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments. 
 (f) Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in the Collection Account, except to the extent
explicitly set forth in Section 2.04, this Section 2.19, and Section 2.20. 
 SECTION 2.20 Reinvestment
of Principal Collections. 
 On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents, prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount: 

(a) withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Pledged hereunder; provided that
the following conditions are satisfied: 
 (i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.04
have been satisfied; 

  
 73 

 (ii) no Servicer Termination Event or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment; 

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall
continue to be correct in all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date; 
 (iv) the
Servicer provides same day written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by facsimile or email (to be received no later than 1:00 p.m. on such day) of the request to withdraw Principal Collections and the amount of such
request; 
 (v) the notice required in clause (iv) above shall be accompanied by a Disbursement
Request and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; and 
 (vi) the Collateral Agent provides to the Administrative Agent by facsimile (to be received no later than 1:30 p.m. on that same day) a statement reflecting the total amount on deposit as of the opening
of business on such day in the Principal Collection Subaccount; or 
 (b) withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments
in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.18. 

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 (as certified by the Borrower to the
Account Bank, Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall direct the Account Bank to release funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount to the Servicer, and the Account Bank shall release such funds as directed, in
an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Servicer and (B) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day. 
 SECTION 2.21 Extension of Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower may, within 60 days but not less than 45 days prior to the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, make a request to
extend the date set forth in the definition of “Scheduled Commitment Termination Date” for an additional period of one year. The Scheduled Commitment Termination Date may be extended by one year by mutual agreement among the Administrative
Agent, each Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and each of the other parties hereto and in conformance with Section 12.01(b) (such extension, the “Initial Extension”). Following such Initial Extension, the Borrower may,
within 60 days but not less than 45 days prior to the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (as revised by the Initial Extension), make a request to extend the date set forth in the definition of “Scheduled Commitment Termination Date” (as
revised by the Initial Extension) for an additional period of one year. The Scheduled Commitment Termination Date (as revised by the Initial Extension) may be extended by one year upon the mutual agreement among the Administrative Agent, each
Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and each of the other parties hereto and in conformance with Section 12.01(b) (such extension, the “Second Extension”). The effectiveness of either the Initial Extension or the Second
Extension shall be conditioned upon the payment in immediately available funds of an additional fee to be agreed among the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Borrower, the Servicer and each of the other parties hereto. 

  
 74 

 
The Borrower confirms that each other party hereto, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Loan Assets or any other factor, may elect not to
extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. 
 In connection with the Initial Extension or the Second Extension, unless
the parties expressly indicate to the contrary, the Scheduled Maturity Date shall be automatically extended by the same extension period, in conformance with Section 12.01(b). 
 SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. If any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the provisions of this Section 2.22 will apply to the applicable
Defaulting Lender Group until the Default Period has ended, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: 
 (a) Each such
Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders, Required Lenders and Section 12.01.

 (b) Until such time as the Default Excess of any such Defaulting Lender Group has been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the
aggregate Advances outstanding will be applied to the Advances of the Non-Defaulting Lender Groups in accordance with Section 2.04(a) and (b) in accordance with the Adjusted Pro Rata Shares. 

(c) The amount of each such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Advances will be excluded for purposes of calculating the Undrawn
Fee, and each such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee in connection with such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment for any Default Period relating to such Defaulting Lender. 

(d) All or any part of each such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Advances will be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lender Groups in accordance with their respective Adjusted Pro Rata Shares, but only to the extent that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such
reallocation (and, unless the Borrower has otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower will be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (ii) such reallocation does
not cause the aggregate Advances of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No such reallocation will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party under this Agreement against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender’s having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (e) If each of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Borrower agree
that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that resulted in it becoming a Defaulting Lender, then the Advances of the Lender Groups will be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and on such
date such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par so much of the Advances of the other Lender Groups or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary to cause the aggregate Advances outstanding to be held by the
Lender Groups in accordance with their respective Commitments and Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.22(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that notwithstanding
Section 2.18(b), the Borrower shall not be liable for any Breakage Fees that may be incurred in connection with such readjustment of Advances. 

  
 75 

 (f) No amount of the Commitment of any Liquidity Bank or Institutional Lender will be
increased or otherwise affected by, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not be excused or
otherwise modified as a result of, any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.22. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the
Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender, Lender Agent or Lender Group may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

the Borrower contributes or has an obligation to contribute, or has any liability (each, a “Pension Plan”), does not exceed by a material amount the value of the assets of the Pension Plan allocable to such vested benefits (based on
the value of such assets as of the last annual valuation date for the Pension Plan) determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding such Pension Plan pursuant to Sections 412 and 430 of the Code for the applicable plan year. No

set forth herein or as consented to by the Administrative Agent), providing for the allocation or sharing of obligations to make payments or otherwise in respect of any taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges; provided that it
is understood and acknowledged that the Borrower will be consolidated with the Servicer for tax purposes.

pursuant to which the Borrower acquires the Collateral

the Transferor or the Obligor with respect thereto, except, in each case, for amendments, extensions and modifications, if any, to such Collateral Portfolio otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(a) of this Agreement and in
accordance with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard. 
 (ii) Full Payment. As of the applicable
Cut-Off Date thereof, the Borrower has no knowledge of any fact which should lead it to expect that any Loan Asset will not be paid in full.

Responsible Officer of the Borrower: (a) the related Obligor’s operations comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws; (b) none of the related Obligor’s operations is the subject of a Federal or state

Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, who are intended third party beneficiaries thereunder) from CGMS and Carlyle Management stating that such Persons, to the fullest extent of their control and voting rights, will not suffer

and the Collateral Portfolio. The Borrower (and the Servicer, with respect to clauses (b)(ii) below) hereby represent and warrant, as of the Closing Date, as of each applicable Cut-Off Date, as of each applicable Advance Date, as of each
Reporting Date and any date which Loan Assets are Pledged hereunder and as of each other date provided under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents on which such representations and warranties are required to be (or deemed to be) made:

financing statements, shall be a valid and first priority perfected security interest in the Loan Assets forming a part of the Collateral Portfolio and in that portion of the Loan Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a UCC

the avoidance of doubt, any inaccurate representation that a Loan Asset is an Eligible Loan Asset hereunder or under the Contribution Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default if the Borrower complies with Section 2.07(e)
hereunder and the Transferor complies with Section 6.1 of the Contribution Agreement (subject to the grace period set forth in such provisions); provided that any such Loan Asset will not be included in the calculation of the Borrowing
Base during such grace period.

discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral Portfolio and, after the delinquency of any Collateral Portfolio and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with
respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the 

  
 118

 
Transferor could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral Portfolio. The Transferor, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Servicer
(and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent
in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Lender Agent a party to
any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s, the Backup
Servicer’s and each Lender Agent’s consent. 
 (b) After the declaration of the Final Maturity Date, at the direction
of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral Portfolio; provided that the Administrative Agent may, at any time that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral Portfolio of the assignment of such Collateral Portfolio to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all
amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
may enforce collection of any such Collateral Portfolio, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. 
 SECTION 6.04
Collection of Payments; Accounts. 
 (a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral Portfolio. The Servicer
will use its reasonable best efforts to collect or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral Portfolio as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Risk
and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard. The Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral Portfolio in a manner that would impair the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio or in any manner
contrary to the Servicing Standard. 
 (b) Acceleration. If consistent with the Risk and Collection Policies and the
Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall accelerate or vote to accelerate, as applicable, the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Loan Asset promptly after such Loan Asset becomes defaulted. 

(c) Taxes and other Amounts. The Servicer will use its best efforts to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan Asset to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application under the applicable Loan Agreement and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as
required by the Loan Agreements. 
 (d) Payments to Collection Account. On or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the
Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors to make all payments in respect of the Collateral Portfolio directly to the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer is not required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor or
other surety (or an Obligor that is not designated as the “lead borrower” or another such similar term) unless and until the Servicer calls on the related guaranty or secondary obligation. 

  
 119

 (e) Collection Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the
Collection Account is intended to be a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Collection Account Agreement, prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive
Control, the Borrower (or the Servicer) shall be entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset held in the Collection Account and have the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account; provided that
after the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, such rights shall be exclusively held by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Account Bank (or other
securities intermediary) that holds any money or other property for the Borrower in the Collection Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the Collection Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC, the
cash and other property credited thereto is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the UCC, (B) regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Collection Account, New York
shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s (or other securities intermediary’s) jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC), and (C) it shall comply with all entitlement orders and all directions to dispose of
funds in the Collection Account in each case without further consent of the Borrower. To the extent that the Collection Account is re-characterized as a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), New
York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304(b) of the UCC), the Account Bank shall be the “bank” and the Collateral Agent shall be the bank’s “customer”
(within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC). All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Collection Account in the form of securities or instruments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank
or if in the name of the Borrower or the Collateral Agent, Indorsed to the Account Bank, Indorsed in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Account Bank, and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the
Collection Account be registered in the name of the Borrower, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially Indorsed to the Borrower, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially Indorsed to the Account Bank or Indorsed in blank.

 (f) Loan Agreements. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be
applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian nor any securities intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection
with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it
by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation
any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (g) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of an
Interest Collection or Principal Collection of a Loan Asset and such Interest Collection or Principal Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with
respect to the amount of any Interest Collection or Principal Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Interest Collection or Principal Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount
subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. 

  
 120

 SECTION 6.05 Realization Upon Loan Assets. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent
with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard to foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Underlying Collateral relating to a defaulted Loan Asset as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and may, consistent with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard and exercising its reasonably good faith judgment to maximize value, hold for value, sell or
transfer any equity or other securities the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall have received in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization with respect to a Loan Asset. The Servicer will
comply with the Risk and Collection Policies and the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts consistent with the Risk and Collection
Policies and the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Underlying Collateral at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding
sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Underlying Collateral to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a
purchase price equal to the then fair value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan Asset, the Underlying Collateral, the sale
price of the Underlying Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Underlying Collateral. In any case in which any such Underlying Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will have no obligation to expend funds in
connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Underlying Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such repair or foreclosure or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of
such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Underlying Collateral relating to a defaulted Loan Asset. 

SECTION 6.06 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be
entitled to be paid the Servicing Fees and reimbursed its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Section 2.04; provided, that the Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Subordinate Servicing Fees not paid under
Section 2.04 on any Payment Date shall accrue and shall not constitute a default or basis to terminate the Servicer duties under this Article VI. 
 SECTION 6.07 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees
and disbursements of its independent accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this
Agreement for the account of the Borrower. The Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The Servicer may be
reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder (including out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.04; provided
that, to the extent funds are not so available on any Payment Date to reimburse such expenses incurred during the immediately ended Remittance Period, such reimbursement amount shall be deferred and payable on the next Payment Date on which funds
are available therefor pursuant to Section 2.04.

possible and in any event within two Business Days after such error was discovered); 
 (k) either the Borrower or CGMS shall be
required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of Section 8 of the 1940 Act (the parties hereto acknowledging that CGMS is regulated as a “business development company” under the 1940 Act) or the

 (n) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Borrower or the Transferor in any Transaction

the Advances Outstanding or 7.5% of the Collateral Portfolio, as applicable) and Section 8.01(d) above, the Final Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of such event. Upon any such declaration
or automatic occurrence, (i) the Borrower shall cease purchasing Loan Assets from the Transferor under the Contribution Agreement, (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may declare the Revolving Notes to be immediately due

Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under any such Assigned Document. If any
Event of Default shall have occurred, the Yield Rate shall be increased pursuant to the increase set forth in the definition of “Applicable Spread”, effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall apply after
the occurrence of such Event of Default. 
 SECTION 8.02 Additional Remedies of the Administrative Agent. 

(a) If, (i) upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Majority Lenders’ declaration that the Advances made to the Borrower
hereunder are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) on the Final Maturity Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances, all accrued and unpaid
Fees and Yield and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent (acting as directed by the Majority Lenders), in addition to all other
rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders and Administrative Agent, to immediately sell (at the Servicer’s expense) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists)
at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral Portfolio and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations. 

  
 130

 (b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral
Portfolio on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in
its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral Portfolio, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral Portfolio on the date the Administrative Agent or the
Majority Lenders declare the Advances made to the Borrower hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral Portfolio in the same manner or on the same Business Day. 

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral
Portfolio or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative
Agent, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Servicer is required by law or contract to be kept confidential, to the extent such information can be provided without violation of laws or contracts,
including through entering into any confidentiality agreements in forms acceptable to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to the extent required to prevent violation of such laws or contracts) relating to the Collateral
Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and
(ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable non-confidential information relating to the Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial
statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder. 

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming
through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral Portfolio may be situated in order to prevent, hinder
or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers
thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any
of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests
granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral Portfolio as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine. 

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral Portfolio pursuant to this Section 8.02 in excess of
the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

  
 131

 (f) The Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders shall have, in addition to
all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the
UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower. 

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other
remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

 (h) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral
Portfolio in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other
disposition, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with
or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent
or the Administrative Agent or all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any power of attorney furnished hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall not exercise any power of attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred. 
 (i) (1) If the Collateral Agent
(acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent elects to sell the Collateral Portfolio in whole, but not in part, at a public or private sale, the Borrower may exercise its right of first refusal to repurchase the
Collateral Portfolio, in whole but not in part, prior to such sale at a purchase price that is not less than the amount of the Obligations as of the date of such proposed sale. The Borrower’s right of first refusal shall terminate at 4:00 p.m.
on the second Business Day following the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice of the Collateral Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s election to sell such Collateral Portfolio, such notice to attach copies of all Eligible
Bids received by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in respect of such Collateral Portfolio. 
 (2)
If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent elects to sell less than all of the Collateral Portfolio in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, the Borrower may exercise its right of
first refusal to repurchase such portion of the Collateral Portfolio prior to such sale at a purchase price of not less than the highest Eligible Bid received in respect of such portion of the Collateral Portfolio as of the date of such proposed
sale, as notified by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower. The Borrower’s right of first refusal shall terminate not later than 4:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice of the Collateral
Agent’s or the 

  
 132

 
Administrative Agent’s election to sell such portion of the Collateral Portfolio, if such notice is delivered by 12:00 p.m. on such Business Day; provided that if such notice is
delivered after 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives such notice, or if the highest Eligible Bid received in respect of such portion of the Collateral Portfolio is greater than $25,000,000, the Borrower’s right of first
refusal shall terminate not later than 12:00 p.m. on the following Business Day. 
 (3) If the Borrower elects
not to exercise its right of first refusal as provided in clauses (1) or (2) above, the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent shall sell such Collateral Portfolio or
portion thereof for a purchase price equal to the highest of the Eligible Bids then received. For the avoidance of doubt, any determination of the highest Eligible Bid shall only consider bids for the same parcels of the Collateral Portfolio.

 (4) It is understood that the Borrower may submit its bid for the Collateral Portfolio or any portion thereof
as a combined bid with the bids of other members of a group of bidders, and shall have the right to find bidders to bid on the Collateral Portfolio or any portion thereof. 

(5) It is understood that the Borrower’s right of first refusal shall apply to each proposed sale of the same parcel
of the Collateral Portfolio.

 (vi) any dispute, claim, offset
or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) to the payment of any Loan Asset included in the Collateral Portfolio (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Loan Asset (or the Loan Agreement evidencing such Loan

 (b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this
Section 9.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within five Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor
on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of
any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 9.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect
to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. 

  
 135

 (c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.01 is

result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of
such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 9.01(a). 

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party
pursuant to this Section 9.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower in an amount equal to the amount it has

 (e) The obligations of the Borrower under
this Section 9.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator or the
Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.02 Indemnities by Servicer. 

(a) Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees
to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts, awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party as a consequence of any of the following, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party claiming indemnification hereunder as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction:

thereafter; 
 (vi) the commingling by the Servicer of Collections required to be remitted to the Collection
Account with other funds;

the Servicer or any such agent or representative within two Business Days of receipt; 
 (viii) the Servicer or
any of its agents or representatives (including, without limitation, agents, representatives and employees of such Servicer acting pursuant to authority granted under Section 6.01 hereof) permits or causes or authorizes the withdraw from
the Collection Account of amounts not expressly authorized for withdrawal hereunder; 
 (ix) the failure by the
Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or errors or omissions related to such duties;

 (c) If for any
reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.02 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Servicer
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on
the one hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to contribute in respect of any
Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 9.02(a). 

  
 137

 (d) If the Servicer has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the
Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the
Servicer in an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest. 
 (e) The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets.

thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts. 
 SECTION 9.03 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for
which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the
Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified
Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 9.01, the first sentence of
Section 9.02 or Section 9.02(d), as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the
right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified
Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a
manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not,
in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense
of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with
respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and 

  
 138

the defense of the Action. 
 SECTION 9.04 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Section 9.01 and 9.02 shall be

 ARTICLE X. 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDER AGENTS 
 SECTION 10.01 The Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Appointment. Each
Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each
Lender Agent and each Secured Party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other
Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender
or Lender Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine
of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care. 
 (c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Lender, Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims
against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except
for its or their own 

  
 139

 
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with
legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any
duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer or to inspect
the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of
the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice
(including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of any Lender Agent as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lender
Agents and Lenders (other than the Conduit Lenders) against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lender Agent or Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this
Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender Agent or Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not
receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. 

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Lender Agent, the Borrower or the
Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of
Default” or “Notice of Servicer Termination Event,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer
Termination Event as may be requested by any Lender Agent acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of
the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, 

  
 140

 
including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any
of the Collateral Portfolio, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender Agent as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material
information in its possession. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. 
 (g) Indemnification of the Administrative
Agent. Each Lender and Lender Agent (other than the Conduit Lenders) agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Lender Agents and Lender shall not be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of any Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Article X. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses
(including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents or Lenders hereunder or thereunder
and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer. 
 (h)
Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to
each Lender Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lender Agents and the Borrower acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lender Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent
(which, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, shall not be a Competitor and shall otherwise be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld with respect

  
 141

 
to a proposed successor that is not a Competitor). Each Lender Agent agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent.
If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring
Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of
the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank, and (iii) so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall not be a Competitor. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Article X shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be allocated in accordance with their related Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such
amounts are received after 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender Agent on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such
Lender Agent not later than the following Business Day. 
 SECTION 10.02 The Lender Agents. 

(a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender, respectively, hereby designates and appoints its applicable Lender Agent to act as its
agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Lender Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary
relationship with its related Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist
for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for its related Lender and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s successors or assigns. No Lender Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Lender Agent to
personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of each Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations. Each
Lender Agent hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any UCC financing statement deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on such Lender Agent ). 

  
 142

 (b) Delegation of Duties. Each Lender Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Lender Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 (c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither
any Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except
for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) responsible in any manner to its related Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Servicer contained in Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection
herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or
sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No Lender Agent shall be under any obligation to its related Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer. No Lender Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
unless such Lender Agent has received notice from the Borrower or its related Lender. 
 (d) Reliance by Lender Agent.
Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and
upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of its related Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its
related Lenders (other than the Conduit Lenders); provided that, unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, such Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Lender Agent shall deem advisable and in
the best interests of its related Lender. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon its related Lender. 
 (e) Non-Reliance on Lender Agent. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither its related Lender Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Lender Agent hereafter taken,
including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Lender Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to its related Lender Agent that it has
and will, independently and without reliance upon its related Lender Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects,
financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto. 

  
 143

 (f) The Lender Agents are in their Respective Individual Capacities. Each Lender
Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent were not a Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances
pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender,” and
“Lenders,” shall include the Lender Agent in its individual capacity. 
 (g) Successor Lender Agent. Each
Lender Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and its related Lender, and such Lender Agent will, upon the direction of its related Lender resign as the Lender Agent for such Lender. If any Lender Agent shall resign, then its related
Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent that, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall not be a Competitor. If for any reason no successor agent is appointed by such Lender during such five day period, then
effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations due to such Lender directly to such Lender, and for all purposes shall deal directly with such Lender. After any retiring
Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Lender Agent, the provisions of Articles IX and X shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Lender Agent under this
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XI.

Agent shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations: 
 (i) The
Collateral Agent shall calculate amounts to be remitted pursuant to Section 2.04 to the applicable parties and notify the Servicer and the Administrative Agent in the event of any discrepancy between the Collateral Agent’s
calculations and the Servicing Report (such dispute to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.05); 

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Report
or as otherwise directed in accordance with Sections 2.04 or 2.05 (the “Payment Duties”). 
 (iii) The Collateral Agent shall provide to the Servicer a copy of all written notices and communications identified as being sent to it in connection with the Loan Assets and the other Collateral
Portfolio held hereunder which it receives from the related Obligor, participating bank or agent bank. In no instance shall the Collateral Agent be under any duty or obligation to take any action on behalf of the Servicer in respect of the exercise
of any voting or consent rights, or similar actions, unless it receives specific written instructions from the Servicer, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of Event of Default, in which
event the Collateral Agent shall vote, consent or take such other action in accordance with such instructions. 
 (c) (i) The
Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly
delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to
perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the
Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loan Assets now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section 11.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the
Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral Portfolio, including to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral Portfolio in accordance with Section 5.01(t). 

  
 145

 (ii) The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any
such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder,
but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any
action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to
any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral
Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative
Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. 
 (iii) Except as expressly provided
herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement (x) unless and until (and to the extent) expressly so
directed by the Administrative Agent or (y) prior to the Final Maturity Date (and upon such occurrence, the Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (x)). The
Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the
Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has knowledge of such
matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Agent. 
 (d) If, in performing its duties under this Agreement,
the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive
such instructions within two Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions
received after such two Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal
counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice. 
 (e) Concurrently herewith, the Administrative Agent directs the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into the Collection Account Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of
the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections and immunities provided herein shall apply to the Collateral Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Collection Account Agreement in such capacity.

The Collateral Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral
Agent (the “Collateral Agent Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Agent Termination Notice, the Collateral Agent shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral
Agent (who, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall not be a Competitor) has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder; provided that the Collateral Agent shall continue to receive compensation of its fees
and expenses in accordance with Section 11.04 above while so serving as the Collateral Agent prior to a successor Collateral Agent being appointed. 
 SECTION 11.06 Limitation on Liability. 
 (a) The Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by

 147

 (d) The Collateral Agent makes no warranty or representation and shall have no
responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral Portfolio, and will not be required to and
will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral Portfolio. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its
judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. 
 (e)
The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants,
functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and
stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. 

(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. 

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for
the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Portfolio.

sentence of Section 2.05, in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date, request instructions from the Servicer and
may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Final Maturity Date, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the
Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the
Collateral Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action. 
 (i) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Collateral
Custodian under this Agreement and shall not be required to monitor the performance of the Collateral Custodian. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to perform any of the duties of the Collateral
Custodian under this Agreement. 

  
 148

 SECTION 11.07 Collateral Agent Resignation. 

The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 90 days written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and with
the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and, so long as no Event of Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is then continuing, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld). Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall promptly appoint a successor collateral agent or collateral agents by written instrument, in
duplicate, executed by the Administrative Agent, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent so resigning and one copy to the successor collateral agent or collateral agents, together with a copy to the Borrower, Servicer and
Collateral Custodian. If no successor collateral agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within 45 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may not resign prior to a
successor Collateral Agent being appointed.

and communications by facsimile and e-mail shall be effective when sent, and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received. 
 SECTION 12.03 No Waiver Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Lender Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 SECTION 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Lender,
the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign (with the consent of the Administrative
Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, (i) this Agreement and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part
(including by way of the sale of participation interests therein) or (ii) any Advance (or portion thereof) or any Revolving Note (or any portion thereof) to any Eligible Assignee; provided that prior to an Event of Default (unless waived
or rescinded), consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required for (x) a Liquidity Bank to assign to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Liquidity Bank, a Conduit Lender in such Liquidity Bank’s
Lender Group or an Affiliate of a Liquidity 

  
 152

 
Bank or (y) an Institutional Lender to assign to any Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliate of such Lender. Any such assignee, that is not, immediately prior thereto, a Lender hereunder
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the purchaser of a participation interest or the grantee of a security interest, but which shall include any such grantee of a security interest at the time of completion, but not before, of any
foreclosure on such security interest where such grantee seeks to become a Lender hereunder) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed Transferee Letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit N hereto (a “Transferee Letter”) and a fully-executed Joinder Supplement. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to the related Lender Agent for
its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender Agent. None of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer may assign, or permit any Lien to exist
upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender Agent and the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Agreement,
the Transferee Letter or Joinder Supplement shall restrict or delay a Conduit Lender’s ability to assign its interests hereunder to its Liquidity Bank or an Affiliate or to any other Conduit Lender in its Lender Group or to grant a security
interest in its interests hereunder to a Conduit Trustee. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement or under a Liquidity
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or under such Liquidity Agreement, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto or to such Liquidity Agreement, as the case may be. 

(c) If a Lender (i) is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent
of all Lenders was required and the Majority Lenders consented (whether pursuant to Section 12.01 or otherwise), or (iii) requests that the Administrative Agent deliver a demand for payment by the Borrower of amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (b), then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Borrower may, by notice to the applicable Lender Agent within 120 days after such event (with a copy of such
notice concurrently delivered to the Administrative Agent), require such Lender Group to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees specified by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
within 20 days after the Borrower’s notice. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such assignment if any member of the affected Lender Group fails to execute same. The affected Lender Agent on
behalf of the Lender Group shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Transaction Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (and including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (b) the request for which resulted in the application of this Section 12.04(c)). 

(d) Upon the effectuation of any assignment by any Lender of all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents
pursuant to Section 12.04(a) or Section 12.04(c) and the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all assignment documentation and the Transferee Letter, the Administrative Agent shall revise Annex A to reflect such
assignment. 
 (e) Each Affected Party and each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

  
 153

 SECTION 12.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V and the Servicer’s representations, covenants and duties set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect
until the Collection Date; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the
indemnification and payment provisions of Article IX, X and Article XII and the provisions of Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 12.07, Section 12.08 and
Section 12.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.06 GOVERNING LAW;
JURY WAIVER. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER. 

SECTION 12.07 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. 
 (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted to the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Custodian,
the Collateral Administrator and their respective Affiliates under Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 hereof, each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian incurred in connection with the pre-closing due diligence,
preparation, execution, delivery, administration (including due diligence and periodic auditing and inspections incurred in connection with clauses (hh) and (ii) of Section 5.01 or following an Event of Default or
Servicer Termination Event and all other related fees and expenses), syndication, renewal, amendment or modification of, any waiver or consent issued in connection with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other documents to be
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of rating agency and accounting costs and fees, the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian with respect thereto and with respect to
advising the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other
documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including counsel fees and expenses), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral
Agent, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian in connection with the enforcement or potential enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Person and the other documents
to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. 

  
 154

 (b) The Borrower, the Servicer and the Transferor shall pay on demand any and all present
and future stamp, sales, excise, property and other similar Taxes and fees (“Other Taxes”) payable or determined to be payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement of, filing and
recording of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances
hereunder. 
 (c) The Servicer and the Transferor shall pay on demand all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs,
expenses and Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed on or measured by net income or Excluded Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer, the Collateral
Administrator and the Account Bank, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders in connection with periodic audits of the Borrower’s, the Transferor’s or the
Servicer’s books and records. 
 (d) In addition, the Borrower shall pay (i) to the extent not included in the
calculation of Yield, any and all commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of Commercial Paper Notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of Advances, and (ii) any and all costs and expenses of any issuing and paying agent
or other Person responsible for the administration of the Conduit Lenders’ Commercial Paper Notes program in connection with the preparation, completion, issuance, delivery or payment of Commercial Paper Notes issued to fund the purchase or
maintenance of Advances. 
 SECTION 12.08 No Proceedings. Each of the parties hereto (by accepting the benefits of this Agreement)
hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any Bankruptcy Proceeding so long as any commercial paper or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit Lender shall be
outstanding and there shall not have elapsed one year and one day since the last day on which any such commercial paper or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding. 
 SECTION 12.09 Recourse Against Certain Parties. 
 (a) No recourse
under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of any fees or any other obligations) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party as contained in this
Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any administrator of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or any incorporator, affiliate, stockholder, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or of any such
administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of
each party hereto contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in
each case, solely the corporate obligations of such party (and nothing in this Section 12.09 shall be construed to diminish in any way such corporate obligations of such party), and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to
or be incurred by any administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the

  
 155

 
Lender Agents or of any such administrator, as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender
Agents or any Secured Party contained in this Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or agreements, or are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such administrator of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party and each incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or of any such administrator, or any of
them, for breaches by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or in equity, by statute or constitution, or
otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth herein, no claim may be made by the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, the Lenders, or any Secured Party or their
respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect to any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower, the Transferor and the Servicer each hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages,
whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected. 
 (c) No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the
Loan Assets is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to
be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes. All payment obligations of each Conduit Lender hereunder are contingent on the
availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its Commercial Paper Notes; and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such
payment obligation owed to it by a Conduit Lender exceeds the amount available to such Conduit Lender to pay such amount after paying or making provision for the payment of its Commercial Paper Notes. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 12.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12.10 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including Fee Letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete 

  
 156

 
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any Fee Letter delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents. 
 SECTION 12.11 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. 
 (a) Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, and each party hereto
hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 (b) Each of the Borrower and the
Servicer agrees that service of process may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, at its address specified in Section 12.02 or at such
other address as the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in accordance herewith. Nothing in this Section 12.11 shall affect the right of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Lender Agents to serve legal process in any
other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 12.12 Characterization of Conveyances Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. 

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower as
contemplated by the Contribution Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances described in Section 5.01(bb) and
Section 5.02(j) hereof) as a contribution by the Transferor of such Eligible Loan Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such contribution be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the
Borrower to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loan Assets are held to continue to be property of the Transferor, then the parties hereto agree
that: (i) the Contribution Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in the Contribution Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loan Assets provided for in the Contribution Agreement
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Borrower of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Loan Assets and all amounts
payable to the holders of the Eligible Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without
limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Borrower (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of
Loan Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and
(iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Borrower for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable

  
 157

 
Law. The parties further agree that any assignment of the interest of the Borrower pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The Borrower shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Contribution Agreement was deemed
to create a security interest in the Eligible Loan Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term of this Agreement. 
 (b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loan Assets conveyed by
the Transferor to the Borrower pursuant to the Contribution Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower and shall not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the
Transferor under any bankruptcy or similar law. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to treat, and the Borrower shall cause the Transferor
to treat, for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances described in Section 5.01(bb) and Section 5.02(j) hereof), the transactions effected by the
Contribution Agreement as contribution of assets to the Borrower. The Borrower and the Servicer each hereby agrees to cause the Transferor to reflect in the Transferor’s financial records and to include a note in the publicly filed annual and
quarterly financial statements of CGMS indicating that: (i) assets related to transactions (including transactions pursuant to the Transaction Documents) that do not meet SFAS 140 requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the
consolidated balance sheet of CGMS within the “investments” line and are disclosed in CGMS’ schedule of investments, and (ii) those assets are owned by a special purpose entity that is consolidated in the financial statements of
CGMS, and the creditors of that special purpose entity have received ownership or security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of sellers (or any affiliate of the sellers) of such assets to that
special purpose entity. 
 SECTION 12.13 Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Transferor, the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian
shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the business of the Borrower and the
Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein (including written non-public information relating to an Obligor that is
required under the terms of the related Loan Agreement to be maintained as confidential), except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its respective Affiliates and to such party’s and its
respective Affiliates’ officers, directors, managers, administrators, trustees, employees, agents, external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other representatives, in each case, having a need to know the same (including in
connection with any potential assignment, sale of a participation interest or other transfer of an interest), and to any Rating Agency or valuation firm engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect
to the transactions and Loan Assets contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Backup Servicer, the Transferor and 

  
 158

 
the Collateral Custodian that such information shall be used solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower and its affiliates,
(ii) disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding
or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or
interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.13(a), the Servicer may, subject to Applicable Law and the terms of any Loan Agreements, make available
copies of the documents in the Servicing Files and such other documents it holds in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to any of its creditors. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except

reviewing any Required Loan Documents. 
 (ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Required Loan Documents,

the address of the Collateral Custodian in Section 12.02, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice delivered at least 30 days prior to such

and the Servicer (in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian) identifying each Loan Asset for which it holds Required Loan Documents and the applicable Review Criteria that any Loan Asset fails to satisfy.

Custodian shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction

enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including any rights arising with respect to Article VIII. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Agent, the Servicer or the Borrower which
conflict with any instructions received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

Consolidation. 
 Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may

Collateral Administrator the loan asset spreadsheet, which shall include but not be limited to the following information: (x) for each Loan Asset, the name of the related Obligor, the collection status, the loan status, the date of each
Scheduled Payment, the Outstanding Principal Balance, the initial Assigned Value, and the Outstanding Loan Balance, (y) the Borrowing Base and (z) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance (the “Spreadsheet”). The Collateral
Administrator shall accept delivery of the Spreadsheet. 
 (iii) Provided that it receives the Servicing Report

Report have been accurately calculated, if applicable, and reported: (A) the Borrowing Base, (B) the Backup Servicing Fee, (C) the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Assets that are current and not past due, (D) the

(iv) If the Servicer disagrees with the report provided under paragraph (iii) above by the Collateral Administrator
or if the Servicer or any subservicer has not reconciled such discrepancy, the Collateral Administrator agrees to confer with the Servicer to resolve such discrepancies on or prior to the next succeeding Determination Date and shall settle such

Report. If within 20 days after the delivery of the report provided under paragraph (iii) above by the Collateral Administrator, such discrepancy is not resolved, the Collateral Administrator shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of
the continued existence of such discrepancy. Following receipt of such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Administrator no later than the related Payment

provided by the Servicer. 
 (c) Collateral Administrator May Request Direction. If, in performing its duties under this
Agreement, the Collateral Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Administrator may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the
Collateral Administrator does not receive such instructions within two Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Administrator may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral

party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Administrator substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral

Administrator may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral Administrator (the “Collateral Administrator Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding
its receipt of a Collateral Administrator Termination Notice, the Collateral Administrator shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Administrator has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Administrator
hereunder. 

  
 171

 SECTION 15.06 Limitation on Liability. 

Each of the rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Custodian pursuant to
Section 13.06 hereof shall also be afforded to the Collateral Administrator acting in such capacity; provided that such rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of,
any rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities provided in this Agreement or any other documents to which the Collateral Administrator in such capacity is a party. 
 SECTION 15.07 Collateral Administrator Resignation. 
 The Collateral
Administrator may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than 90 days after delivery to the Administrative Agent of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect.

 POLICY 1.0 – INTRODUCTION 
 Introduction 
 Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc. (“GMS Finance”) invests
predominantly in first lien senior secured and unitranche loans to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity investment firms (“Middle Market Senior Loans”). Between 70% and 80% of the value
of GMS Finance’s portfolio is expected to be invested in Middle Market Senior Loans, with the balance invested in higher-yielding investments sourced from The Carlyle Group L.P.’s (“Carlyle”) Global Market Strategies
(“GMS”) platform, which may include middle market junior loans, such as corporate mezzanine loans, equity co-investments, broadly syndicated first lien senior secured loans and second lien loans, high-yield bonds, structured products
and/or other opportunistic investments. This Risk Policy Manual only applies to GMS Finance’s investments in Middle Market Senior Loans as well as in second lien and mezzanine debt investments and equity co-investments or warrants taken in
conjunction with these investments to U.S. middle market companies (collectively, “Middle Market Loans”). Separate risk policies will cover investments not covered by this policy manual. 

GMS Finance will be externally managed by Carlyle GMS Investment Management L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”). Through its Investment Adviser,
GMS Finance has access to personnel that source, underwrite and manage GMS Finance’s portfolio of Middle Market Loans. For purposes of these policies, Risk Management is defined as the personnel designated by the Investment Adviser to oversee
the underwriting, portfolio management, and overall risk management responsibilities for GMS Finance’s Middle Market Loans. For purposes of these policies, the Underwriting Staff is defined as the personnel designated by Risk Management to
underwrite specific GMS Finance Middle Market Loans. For purposes of these policies, the Portfolio Management Staff is defined as the personnel designated by Risk Management to monitor specific GMS Finance Middle Market Loans.

 POLICY 2.0 – RISK RATING METHODOLOGY 

Introduction 
 GMS Finance’s
credit risk rating protocol for Middle Market Loans (“Credit Risk Rating”) is an integral part of its credit risk management process. It provides a systematic methodology for 

 

	 	•	 	 Uniformly assessing and categorizing risk across Middle Market Loans, 

 

	 	•	 	 Providing early warning regarding potential problem exposures, and 

 

	 	•	 	 Understanding aggregate levels of risk across the portfolio of Middle Market Loans. 

GMS Finance Middle Market Loans may be subject to two ratings: (1) the ratings (or ratings estimates) provided by external Rating Agencies, and
(2) GMS Finance’s Internal Risk Rating. Any memorandum or analysis prepared by GMS Finance staff which references a Credit Risk Rating should show both the external and internal ratings. The Credit Risk Rating system does not apply to
equity co-investments. 
 External Rating Agency Ratings 
 If being funded through certain financing agreements that GMS Finance has in place, GMS Finance Middle Market Loans which do not have a publicly-traded market price will require either (1) a public
rating or private letter rating from S&P and Moody’s, or (2) to be submitted annually to Moody’s and S&P for a credit estimate (“Rating Agency Rating”). In the case of public or private letter ratings, the borrower
is involved in the rating process and supplies all necessary information to the agencies. In the case of credit estimates, the borrower is not involved, and lenders individually request credit estimates, irrespective of the fact that one lender will
generally be acting as Administrative Agent for the lender group. It is the responsibility of Risk Management to manage all communication with the rating agencies. 
 GMS Finance Internal Risk Rating Methodology 
 Overview

 GMS Finance utilizes a 6 point risk rating system for Middle Market Loans (“Internal Risk Rating”), which is
independent of the Rating Agency Ratings. This system is designed to track the performance of GMS Finance’s borrowers against expectations at inception as represented by both the management and GMS Finance Base Cases. The GMS Finance Base Case
(See Policy 4.2 – GMS Finance Base Case) will at all times be less than or equal to the management base case. Thus, these Internal Risk Rating represents a formulaic assessment of credit quality relative to GMS Finance’s original
expectations. For the purpose of Internal Risk Rating, the GMS Finance Base Case will be the base case utilized in the original credit approval. In situations involving change of circumstances, e.g., a subsequent acquisition or divestiture, the GMS
Finance Base Case may be revised with the approval of Risk Management. 
 The GMS Finance Internal Risk Rating model provides a
formulaic rating based on evaluating company performance in comparison to the GMS Finance Base Case when considering certain credit metrics. For Middle Market Loans, these metrics include EBITDA, Net Senior Leverage, Liquidity and Free Cash Flow /
Net Senior Debt. Each of these metrics is assigned a weighting and an individual scale. Additionally, certain rules applying to covenant compliance, liquidity, payment default and impairment may overlay the formulaic result. 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	4  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 In cases where the Portfolio Management Staff determines that the formulaic result is not
accurate because of extraordinary circumstances, they will recommend an override to the Internal Risk Rating (upgrade or downgrade) that must be approved in accordance with Policy 2.1 – Approval Authorities. The general rating descriptions are
outlined below. 
 As noted above, performance against the GMS Finance Base Case is a key determinant of the Internal Risk
Rating. Additionally, as one proceeds down the rating scale, proximity to covenant and/or payment default becomes an increasingly important factor. With regard to the rating of subordinated debt, the increasing probability of a senior covenant
default as a credit deteriorates should be viewed as increasing the probability of blockage by senior lenders, and thus a payment default. Therefore, in utilizing the rating scale below for subordinated debt, proximity to a senior covenant default
is generally indicative of a more adverse rating than should be the case for a senior facility of the same borrower. 

Rating Scale and Definitions 
  

	 	1	Performing – Low Risk. Borrower is performing more than 10% ahead of the GMS Finance Base Case. 

 

	 	2	Performing – Stable Risk. Borrower is operating within 10% of the GMS Finance Base Case (above or below). This is the initial rating assigned to all
borrowers. 

  

	 	3	Performing – Management Notice. Borrower is operating more than 10% below the GMS Finance Base Case. A financial covenant default may have occurred,
but there is low risk of payment default. 

  

	 	4	Watch List. Borrower is operating more than 20% below the GMS Finance Base Case and there is a high risk of covenant default, or it may have already
occurred. Payments are current although subject to greater uncertainty, and there is a moderate to high risk of payment default. 

  

	 	5	Watch List – Possible Loss. Borrower is operating more than 30% below the GMS Finance Base Case. At the current level of operations and financial
condition, the Borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. Loss of principal is possible, and non-accrual status
may have been implemented. 

  

	 	6	Watch List – Probable Loss. Borrower is operating more than 40% below the GMS Finance Base Case and at the current level of operations and financial
condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. The prospects for improvement in the borrower’s
situation are sufficiently negative that impairment of some or all of GMS Finances’ principal is probable. For the purpose of this definition, “probable” means greater than 70%. An impairment and non-accrual status may have been
implemented. 

 Approval and Maintenance of Risk Ratings on Middle Market Loans 

Rating Agency Rating. If the rating is a credit estimate, it is the responsibility of the Underwriting Staff to provide all information required by
the rating agencies for the initial rating as well as updates. Notice of initial ratings or any change in ratings should be communicated immediately to Risk Management. Risk Management is responsible for forecasting rating changes as appropriate.

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	5  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 Internal Risk Rating. It is the responsibility of the Portfolio Management Staff to maintain MS
Finance’s Internal Risk Rating for Middle Market Loans on a timely basis. All ratings should be reviewed at least quarterly or more frequently as necessary in conjunction with the normal Loan Monitoring process (see Policy 5.0 – Loan
Monitoring, and Policy 5.1 – Portfolio Reviews.) All changes in borrower status or performance which would trigger a downgrade in GMS Finance’s Internal Risk Rating for that borrower should be communicated on a timely basis to Risk
Management. Additionally, all downgrades to 4 or worse will be communicated to the GMS Finance Investment Committee (the “Investment Committee”), GMS Finance General Counsel (“General Counsel”), GMS Finance Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”), GMS Finance Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) and GMS Director of Operations. 
 Final Authority for
the Internal Risk Rating 
 Internal Risk Rating changes must be approved in accordance with Policy 2.0 - Risk Rating Methodology and
Policy 2.1 – Approval Authorities.

 POLICY 2.2 – APPROVAL OF SYNDICATED CREDITS 

Introduction 
 GMS Finance will,
from time to time, act as Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger of multi-lender transactions. In that capacity it may be called upon to commit to fund an amount in excess of the Hold Position amount approved by the Investment Committee with the
expectation that such excess will be syndicated (i.e. distributed) to other lenders within 90 days of initial funding. For the purposes of this policy, the Hold Position amount is defined as the amount for which it is contemplated that GMS Finance
will have balance sheet risk after syndication. Such total commitments (including the Hold Position amount) are referred to herein as Underwriting Commitments. 
 Approval by the Investment Committee 
 All Underwriting Commitments shall be approved
by the Investment Committee in accordance with Policy 2.1 - Approval Authorities. In particular, the GMS Finance Head of Capital Markets must participate in the approval of all Underwriting Commitments. Such Investment Committee approvals shall
clearly specify both the total amount of the Underwriting Commitment and the approved Hold Position.

	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 POLICY 3.0 – SOURCING TRANSACTIONS 

Pre-Clearance with Carlyle GMS 

Approval to receive Material Non-Public Information (MNPI) must be obtained from the GMS Finance President and the General Counsel or their designees
prior to accessing any MNPI from any source. Confidentiality agreements should not be signed until pre-Clearance has been approved. GMS Finance must operate in accordance with Carlyle GMS Insider Trading Policies and Procedures for handling all
non-public information. 
 Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist 
 The Underwriting Staff is required to initiate completion of the Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist as soon as possible in the origination process, but in all cases prior to the Early Read Memorandum
(“ERM”) meeting to make sure that GMS Finance is in compliance at all times with the Business Development Company (“BDC”) requirements, including the 70% Qualifying Asset Test, and the Regulated Investment Company
(“RIC”) Tests included therein. The Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist must be fully completed and approved by the General Counsel, GMS Finance Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or their designees prior to committing to any Middle
Market Loans (including add-on investments). The Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist must be fully completed and approved by the General Counsel, GMS Finance CCO or their designees prior to committing to any material refinancings and restructurings as
well. Additionally, the GMS operations team will require confirmation of the Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist prior to funding of every transaction so the Closing Memorandum (See Policy 4.1 – Due Diligence) must include a confirmation of
approval. 
 Confidential Information Memoranda 
 GMS Finance typically will receive a package of transaction and target company information from the sponsor or Agent Bank. This typically includes a Confidential Information Memorandum and a financial
model. The information in the Confidential Information Memorandum will contain an overview of the company, industry information, and historical financials on the company, as well as the sponsor’s proposal regarding a financing structure.

 Assignment of Underwriting Staff 
 When an opportunity is deemed potentially viable, Risk Management will assign appropriate Underwriting Staff to the deal. The Underwriting Staff will proceed to prepare an ERM (See Policy 3.1 –
Transaction Screening). 
 Auctions 
 In the case of an auction situation where GMS Finance has sourced transactions involving the same target company from multiple sponsors, great care must be taken to protect the confidentiality of sponsor
specific deal information. 
 Pipeline 
 A running inventory of Middle Market Loans currently being worked on by GMS Finance at any given time must be maintained by the Underwriting Staff. This information must also be maintained in a historical
database such that non-current transaction information can be easily accessed.

 POLICY 3.1 – TRANSACTION SCREENING 

Introduction 
 Proposed deals and
investment opportunities undergo a preliminary review process to determine that they meet the general credit risk strategy and risk appetite of GMS Finance Middle Market Loans. Proposed deals or investment opportunities that deviate from this credit
risk strategy are either not pursued or pursued on an exception basis. 
 Initial Review 

A brief but thorough review of the company’s information and deal proposal should be performed by the assigned Underwriting Staff. The proposal
should be reviewed against GMS Finance’s Strategic Underwriting Criteria for Middle Market Loans (See Policy 4.0 – Strategic Underwriting Criteria) to determine the strategic fit and/or appropriateness of the proposal. At an early stage,
there may not be sufficient information to determine whether or not a transaction will ultimately meet a critical mass of these criteria but the Underwriting Staff should use professional judgment in the determination of whether to pursue a deal.
Proposals that don’t pass the preliminary review process must be appropriately entered in the pipeline database. 
 Early Read
Memorandum 
 Provided there is a decision to proceed past the initial review, the assigned Underwriting Staff will prepare an ERM
detailing the target company, the financing structure, the proposed pricing, historical performance, credit statistics, summary of investment considerations, and the results of preliminary cash flow models. The ERM should be distributed to the Early
Read Committee (see below). In situations involving an auction with multiple sponsors, the ERM must be generic and not reveal sponsor-specific deal information. A template of the standard ERM is maintained by Risk Management. The ERM must include
the appropriate Early Read Checklist (see below) for the type of transaction under consideration. These checklists enumerate generic risk factors common in the types of Middle Market Loans which GMS Finance finances. Some of these factors may be
highlighted for special attention and in some circumstances may trigger higher levels of scrutiny. Additionally, as specified in Policy 3.0 – Sourcing Transactions, the Underwriting Staff is required to initiate completion of the BDC Pre-Trade
Compliance Checklist as soon as possible in the origination process, but in all cases prior to the ERM meeting. 
 Deal Screening Meeting

 The ERM is the source document for a Deal Screening Meeting, which is held to review the structure, pricing, and the merits and risks
of the transaction. When possible, except as noted below, this meeting should involve the Early Read Committee. At this meeting, by consensus vote, it will be decided either to pursue the deal as proposed, or with modifications as to structure and
pricing, or to pass on the deal entirely. As a result of positive feedback at this point, GMS Finance may issue a Letter of Interest and an indicative summary one page term sheet. The Early Read process must identify key items/issues to be addressed
prior to the issuance of a full proposal and detailed term sheet, approval for which will be subject to a Final Early Read (see below). These key issues/items must be noted in an outcome addendum to the ERM. Additionally, the ERM along with the ERM
outcome addendum is to be distributed to the entire Investment Committee for Middle Market Loans that the Early Read Committee determines that GMS Finance will proceed with.

 Early Read Checklists 
 The Early Read Checklists encompass: 
  

	 	•	 	 Financial Measures - These are straightforward and include customary objective credit metrics for leveraged deals. 

 

	 	•	 	 Major Business Risk Factors. - These are objective, readily identifiable, and plausible risk factors or events which could severely impact the borrower
and our prospects for repayment in an adverse scenario. Keep in mind that these may be a matter of degree, so judgment is required. It may appear that the likelihood of these factors coming into play is quite small, but if they do, it could be very
difficult, if not impossible, for the borrower and the lenders to work through a problem. In general, avoid deals with potentially binary outcomes, i.e. “pass/fail credits” for which in an adverse scenario, the borrower’s problems
might be unfixable. 

  

	 	•	 	 Other Risk Indicators - Unlike the Major Risk Factors above, these factors are less defined in their potential negative impact, but still should be
carefully considered. 

 With the GMS Finance Head of Risk Management’s approval, these risk factors may be modified from
time to time depending on market and general economic conditions. Updates will be distributed as necessary. A template of the standard Early Read Checklist is maintained by Risk Management. 
 Expanded Early Read 
 The Early Read Checklists contain threshold levels for certain
of the risk factors which are highlighted. Transactions which exceed these thresholds are not necessarily outside GMS Finance’s risk tolerance for Middle Market Loans, but they will be subject to heightened sensitivity and scrutiny and
therefore are considered to be an Expanded Early Read. Expanded ERMs will be distributed to the entire Investment Committee and the entire Investment Committee will be invited to attend the Expanded Early Read Meeting or separately provide their
feedback on the deal. Additionally, if the desired Hold Position or Underwriting Commitment is in excess of the greater of $15 million or 1.5% of the funding vehicle size, the Early Read process must be expanded to include all members of the
Investment Committee. At this meeting, by a majority vote, including an affirmative vote from the Chairman or his designee, it will be decided either to pursue the deal as proposed, or with modifications as to structure and pricing, or to pass on
the deal entirely. 
 Final Early Read 
 This step in the screening process is implemented for Middle Market Loans that GMS Finance is competing to be the Administrative Agent and is meant to assure that the full due diligence process is carried
out only on transactions which have a very high probability of obtaining approval from the Investment Committee. Prior to issuance of a full proposal and detailed term sheet to the client, there must be substantial clarity and positive color
regarding the issues enumerated at the preliminary Early Read Meeting. Evidence/information on these issues should be clearly presented in an updated version of the original ERM. To the extent that any conditions were enumerated at the preliminary
Early Read Meeting, the Underwriting Staff should be prepared to explain why the transaction merits GMS Finance proceed. Additionally, whenever possible a first cut at the break-even analysis, and a syndication analysis (if appropriate) should be
presented. The Final ERM is distributed to the entire Investment 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	14  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 
Committee twenty-four hours in advance of the Final Early Read Meeting that is attended by the Investment Committee. At this meeting the Investment Committee is authorizing the issuance of a full
proposal and detailed term sheet to the client. At this point, all further due diligence should be mainly confirmatory in nature, and absent unforeseen disclosures, approval by the Investment Committee should be highly likely. 

Proposal to Portfolio Company or Sponsor 
 The Underwriting Staff is responsible for drafting appropriate communication to the sponsor or, in the case of an auction, the investment bank advising the seller and conducting the auction. As indicated
above, the nature of the communication is a function of GMS Finance’s degree of certainty regarding its view of the deal, and depending on the stage in the process, may range from a verbal indication of interest, to a one page indicative
summary of terms, to a full proposal and detailed term sheet. The full proposal letter and term sheet are forwarded to the portfolio company, sponsor, or advisory firm, and upon receipt of the mandate from the Sponsor, the Underwriting Staff
completes the due diligence process and prepares the Investment Approval Memorandum.

Historical EBITDA (i.e. Trailing EBITDA - see definition below) is generally the basis of valuation and therefore transaction structure. Pro forma
operating adjustments to historical financial results (particularly EBITDA) should be discounted unless they represent truly non-recurring items rather than items which, while non-recurring in their specific detail, belong to a class of items which
may reasonably be expected to recur in the normal course. Certain adjustments are generally deemed to be permissible such as: add-backs for prior owners compensation, allocated corporate overhead net of standalone costs in a spin-off, and pro-forma
adjustment for the full year impact of acquisitions or dispositions done during the base year. Anticipated revenue enhancements, operational improvements and cost reductions, and acquisition synergies are not acceptable adjustments unless they are
very well defined and highly plausible. Not more than 10% of Trailing EBITDA should be comprised of adjustments. 
 Historical Earnings
Volatility: 
 Historical performance may not be the best or only indicator of future performance but it cannot be ignored. During the
past 5 years, the borrower should not have had more than two year-to-year declines in EBITDA of more than 5%, nor any single yearly decline of greater than 15%. Current year over year performance should not be declining. 

Pro Forma Financial Leverage: 
  

	•	 	 The ratio of Pro forma Total Funded Indebtedness at the Closing Date to Trailing EBITDA should not be greater than 5.0.

  

	•	 	 The ratio of Pro forma Senior Funded Indebtedness at the Closing Date to Trailing EBITDA should not be greater than 3.5.

  

	 	•	 	 For the purpose of this policy, Trailing EBITDA is defined as EBITDA for the 12 months ending at the reference date (initially 2-3 months
before the anticipated closing of the transaction, and thereafter at end of the fiscal period in question.) Adjustments may be made as indicated above. 

 

	 	•	 	 Pro-Forma Total Funded Indebtedness is defined as all borrowed money including the immediate transaction, including long term debt,
financing leases, current portion of long term debt, and short term borrowings (including trade LC’s), in each case with or without a current coupon, and whether or not senior or subordinated. Redeemable preferred stock should also be included.
Debt or redeemable preferred stock at a holding company level and down streamed to the borrower as equity should be also included (i.e. Holding co. debt should be consolidated.) Assume full funding of any Revolving Credit.

  

	 	•	 	 Pro-Forma Senior Funded Indebtedness mirrors the above definition, excluding 2nd lien senior debt, subordinated debt and redeemable preferred stock

 Interest Coverage: 
 Cash Interest Coverage in the GMS Finance Base Case should not be less than 2.0 in the first year and should improve thereafter. 

For the purpose of this policy: 
  

	 	•	 	 Cash Interest Coverage is defined as (1) Trailing EBITDA divided by (2) Cash Interest Expense. To the extent
there is any Non-Cash Interest which is anticipated to become Cash Paying within the next 12 months, it should be included as cash interest. 

  

	 	•	 	 Free Cash Flow from Operations to Interest Expense: (Free Cash Flow From Operations (FFO) (defined as Trailing EBITDA – Management Fees (if not
included in EBITDA) – Cash Taxes – Cash Interest Expense – Change in Working Capital – Capitalized Operating Expenses + Interest Expense))/Interest Expense greater than 2.5x. 

Fixed Charge Coverage and Refinance Risk: 
  

	•	 	 Projected Fixed Charge Coverage in the GMS Finance Base Case should not be less than 1.25x in each year of the deal, other
than the last year, in which a balloon payment may be due. 

  

	•	 	 Refinance of the balloon payment should be achievable under GMS Finance Base Case refinance assumptions. 

For the purpose of this policy: 
  

	 	•	 	 Fixed Charge Coverage is defined as (1) Trailing EBITDA – Management Fees (if not included in EBITDA) - CapX
– Cash Taxes – Capitalized Operating Expenses – the cash impact of the reduction in any previously established reserves, all divided by (2) Cash Interest Expense (including any Non-Cash Interest which is anticipated to become
Cash Paying within the next 12 months), plus Scheduled Repayment of Debt and Mandatory Commitment Reductions. 

  

	 	•	 	 GMS Finance Base Case is defined in Policy 4.2. 

 Operating Profitability 
  

	•	 	 The combination of low margins and high leverage can cause trouble in the event of a decline in revenues. Borrowers generally should not have an
EBITDA Margin less than 15% in any of the last 5 years. 

 For the purpose of this policy: 

 

	 	•	 	 EBITDA Margin is defined as EBITDA divided by Revenues. 

 Debt/(EBITDA – Capex) 
  

	 	•	 	 Debt to EBITDA – CapX (recurring), must be no greater than 7x 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	17  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 Cash Conversion 

 

	 	•	 	 FFO as a % of EBITDA must be greater than 50% 

 Base Case Payback 
  

	 	•	 	 Under the GMS Finance Base Case projections, there should be projected mandatory amortization (Scheduled + Cash flow Sweep) of no less than 50% of the
initial amount outstanding as of the final maturity date 

 Downside Case 

 

	 	•	 	 Should include a sensitivity which has revenue declines no less than the declines in 2008 or 2009 and modest to no growth thereafter. In this scenario,
the free cash flow after debt service must still show an ability to repay at least 25% of the debt before the maturity. 

Breakeven Analysis 
  

	 	•	 	 Revenue declines are especially troublesome where there is a high fixed cost structure in the business. It is therefore necessary to carefully analyze
the fixed and variable nature of production and operating costs in the business on a cash basis. In general, a borrower’s Base Period Revenue should be at least 15% higher than the calculated Breakeven Revenue. The amount of cushion is a matter
of judgment and will depend on the risk elements of the transaction. 

 For the purpose of this policy: 

 

	 	•	 	 Base Period Revenue is defined as either (i) the revenue as reported in the most recently completed fiscal year, (ii) revenues
during the last twelve months if sufficient accounting data is reliable, or (iii) management’s estimate of the revenues for the current fiscal year if at least 9 months have elapsed and if the estimates can be corroborated by contracts,
order activity, etc. Such Base Period Revenue may be adjusted for reasonable truly non-recurring items, (i.e., not items which, while non-recurring in their specific detail, belong to a class which may be reasonably expected to occur with
some regularity). 

  

	 	•	 	 Breakeven Revenue is defined as Fixed Cash Outflows at the Base Period Revenue level divided by
Variable Margin % at Base Period Revenue level. 

  

	 	•	 	 Fixed Cash Outflows is defined as the sum of (i) the fixed component of all operating expenses down to the EBITDA line, plus
(ii) cash interest expense on the initial amount of all indebtedness reduced by the amount of scheduled amortization and Cash Flow recapture in the GMS Finance Base Case in Year 1, at 200bp. greater than the current rate on floating rate debt,
plus (iii) the highest level of scheduled principal payments –and scheduled commitment reductions in the next three years (other than a balloon payment), plus (iv) capital expenditures, plus (v) capitalized operating expenses
(e.g. R&D expenditures), and (vi) the cash impact of the reduction in any previously established reserves. 

  

	 	•	 	 Variable Margin % is defined as (i) Base Period Revenue minus the variable component of all expenses down to the
EBITDA line, divided by (ii) Base Period Revenue.

 Final Maturity/Amortization: 
 Final Maturity must not exceed 7 years for Middle Market Loans. 
 Rating Agency Criteria

  

	•	 	 1st Lien Senior transactions (1) should have a Corporate Family Rating of at least “B3” by Moody’s and “B-” by S&P, or (2) if subject to an “estimated” credit
estimate process at the rating agencies should be likely, in GMS Finance’s opinion, to receive such ratings once all necessary information is provided to the rating agencies. 

 

	•	 	 Transactions must be fully compliant with the indenture or credit agreement that is applicable for the financing that is being used to fund the
transaction. Investment Approval Memorandums must include the compliance page applicable to the financing vehicle being used to fund the transaction. 

 Sponsor/Equity: 
  

	•	 	 The equity sponsor should have a meaningful stake in the deal. In transactions involving newly acquired companies, new (not rollover) cash equity (net
of upfront fees) should account for at least 35% of the capital structure. In transactions involving dividend recapitalizations, the financial sponsor’s cash equity will be significantly reduced, and thus the sponsor and GMS Finance’s
relationship with it must be particularly strong, and the transaction itself must have exceptionally strong characteristics. The equity sponsor (or its principals) should have a demonstrably successful track record and should have had previous
positive deal history with GMS Finance. 

  

	•	 	 Total Private Equity Funds under management should not be less than $300M if multiple funds have been raised, or if 1st time fund, minimum fund size must be $150MM provided principals of
the financial sponsor have worked successfully as a team in a prior organization. 

  

	•	 	 The sponsor should have prior experience in the same or similar industry as the company being financed. 

 

	•	 	 Uncalled capital and governance structure of the sponsor/fund should allow for adequate follow-up financial support if necessary.

  

	•	 	 In deals driven by a single entrepreneur or family, the personal guarantees of the owner(s), either full or partial, should be strongly considered with
further consideration given to securing such guarantees.

 POLICY 4.1- DUE DILIGENCE 
 Introduction 
 This policy provides guidance on the scope and content of GMS
Finance’s due diligence on Middle Market Loans which are under consideration. Due diligence is the responsibility of the Underwriting Staff and in the context of the general guidelines below the Underwriting Staff has broad discretion to
determine the scope of acceptable due diligence in specific cases. Risk Management will assign Underwriting Staff as appropriate to perform detailed due diligence and analysis, and will supervise this work. Risk Management may also participate in
the underwriting to the extent deemed necessary. 
 Essential Elements of Due Diligence 

The Underwriting Staff is responsible for performing all due diligence policies necessary to fully analyze all of the risks associated with the proposal.
It is essential to keep Risk Management fully apprised of important developments and progress. The due diligence process for new transactions normally includes the following: 

 

	 	•	 	 When possible, meet the management of the company and tour company facilities: Attend (either in person or telephonically) a presentation by
management covering overview of company and industry. A member of the Investment Committee, Risk Management, or a member of the Underwriting Staff should meet the prospective borrower’s management team. 

 

	 	•	 	 Identify and analyze key issues: Revisit preliminary analyses and isolate the key transaction issues. Fully evaluate business strategy,
products, distribution channels, marketing capabilities, customers, production and operations, suppliers, competition, management background, technology, environmental issues, and legal and regulatory issues. Conduct industry due diligence including
utilization of consultants as appropriate. All questions and concerns should be discussed with management and the sponsor, and/or the Agent Lender (if Agent is not GMS Finance). 

 

	 	•	 	 Financial analysis: Analyze the company’s historical financial performance and major financial assumptions for future performance. Review
results of financial due diligence performed by accountants retained by sponsor or lenders. Review and analyze credit statistics of comparable companies and recent transactions in the same or similar industries. Normally, a minimum of three years of
historical financial statements and the most recent interim results are required. In cyclical industries, a longer financial history may be appropriate. Projections of company performance across a range of variables should be analyzed.
Sponsor/management scenarios as well as the GMS Finance Base Case (See Policy 4.2 – GMS Finance Base Case) should be prepared. Understanding of the company’s cost structure, (i.e., fixed and variable costs) is essential. Cash flow
break-even and refinance scenarios should be evaluated. Downside analyses should be prepared which show revenue declines comparable to the declines experienced during the recession of 2008 and 2009 with modest growth thereafter.

  

	 	•	 	 Rating Agency / Financing Considerations: The Underwriting Staff must evaluate the likely credit rating to be assigned by external rating
agencies. Additionally, it must evaluate compliance with all relevant financing vehicle requirements and limits. 

  

	 	•	 	 Strategic Underwriting Criteria – The Underwriting Staff should evaluate the deal against GMS Finance’s Strategic Underwriting
Criteria for Middle Market Loans (see Policy 4.0 – Strategic Underwriting Criteria.) 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	20  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

	 	•	 	 Risks and Mitigants: After considering all key issues and financial and structural elements of the transaction, the Underwriting Staff should
evaluate the risks and mitigants of the transaction and reach a conclusion. 

  

	 	•	 	 Structured Credit Consultation: The Underwriting Staff should contact the appropriate Carlyle Structured Credit industry analyst to inquire
whether or not they are also considering investing in the transaction as well as get their view of the industry, company, and credit. 

 Analysis and due diligence performed by third party consultants may be used as appropriate. These are generally retained by the financial sponsor, or may be retained by GMS Finance or the Agent Lender.
See Policy 4.3 – Retention of Professionals. 
 Analysis of Syndication Market 

In cases where GMS Finance is underwriting an amount greater than its maximum proposed Hold Position, an analysis on distribution prospects will be
conducted. 
 Investment Approval Memorandum 
 The Underwriting Staff should prepare a detailed memorandum on each transaction for which approval is sought. The Investment Approval Memorandum will typically cover the following topics/issues.

  

	 	•	 	 Description of the opportunity 

  

	 	•	 	 Structure, terms and pricing of the proposed facilities 

 

	 	•	 	 Sources and uses 

  

	 	•	 	 Capitalization 

  

	 	•	 	 Sponsor Background, History 

  

	 	•	 	 Historical and projected financial highlights together with key credit statistics 

 

	 	•	 	 Business/product description 

  

	 	•	 	 Customers 

  

	 	•	 	 Suppliers 

  

	 	•	 	 Industry trends and analysis 

  

	 	•	 	 Competition 

  

	 	•	 	 Management 

  

	 	•	 	 Legal Issues (if applicable) 

  

	 	•	 	 Environmental Issues (if applicable) 

  

	 	•	 	 Regulatory Issues 

  

	 	•	 	 Asset Appraisal and Valuation and/or Field Exam (if applicable) 

 

	 	•	 	 Detailed analysis of historical financial statements, including analysis of EBITDA adjustments, where appropriate 

 

	 	•	 	 Projections, including management/sponsor case and GMS Finance Base Case, with assumptions clearly described, including Revenue and EBITDA bridge,
where appropriate 

  

	 	•	 	 Break-even analysis 

  

	 	•	 	 Downside Case analysis 

  

	 	•	 	 Rating Agency Considerations 

  

	 	•	 	 Capital Markets/Syndication strategy (if applicable) 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	21  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

	 	•	 	 Risks and Mitigants 

  

	 	•	 	 Applicable financing vehicle compliance page 

  

	 	•	 	 Recommendation 

  

	 	•	 	 Items as to which approval is conditional and which require further due diligence and/or subsequent resolution 

 

	 	•	 	 Signature Page 

 The
template for the Investment Approval Memorandum will be maintained by Risk Management. 
 Subsequent Due Diligence 

Due diligence is an ongoing process that begins with the evaluation of the Confidential Information Memorandum on new transactions, and continues until a
transaction is funded. After credit approval, if major issues surface that are not consistent with the analysis of the transaction or the assumptions upon which the approval was based, the Underwriting Staff should inform Risk Management which will
determine the appropriate course of action. 
 Closing Memorandum 
 The status of issues intended to be resolved after approval but prior to closing must be summarized in a Closing Memorandum. Such issues include follow-up issues from due diligence, covenant levels,
baskets, inter-creditor issues, other documentation issues, changes in financial performance since approval, and final composition of the lender group, etc. The Closing Memorandum must be signed by the GMS Finance Head of Risk Management and the GMS
Finance Head of Underwriting and Portfolio Management (in the absence of either the GMS Finance President or the GMS Finance Head of Origination may substitute). Risk Management will determine whether the issues raised the Closing Memorandum are of
sufficient magnitude that they should be referred to the Investment Committee. 
 The template for the Closing Memorandum will be maintained by
Risk Management. 
 Due Diligence on Waivers and Amendments 
 Risk Management shall determine the scope of due diligence required on waivers and amendments. Depending on the circumstances, the scope may be less comprehensive than that for new transactions.

 POLICY 4.2 – GMS FINANCE BASE CASE 

Introduction 
 The GMS Finance base
case for Middle Market Loans is the conservative underwriting case used as the basis of credit approval (the “GMS Finance Base Case”). In general it should provide for repayment and/or refinance of outstanding debt at maturity with healthy
coverage ratios and a reasonable margin for error. It also forms the basis of tracking borrower performance over the lifespan of the transaction for the purpose of establishing the Internal Risk Rating. Below outlines the general guidelines on the
GMS Finance Base Case for Middle Market Loans. 
 Assumptions for the GMS Finance Base Case 

The GMS Finance Base Case should be based on a more conservative scenario than the management case. In general, the GMS Finance Base Case should be based
on assumptions regarding earnings and cash flow which do not place heavy reliance on untested events or speculative changes in the borrower’s business environment: 

 

	 	•	 	 Adjustments to historical financial results which form the basis of future projections should be discounted unless they represent truly
non-recurring items rather than items which while non-recurring in their specific detail belong to a class of items which may reasonably be expected to recur in the normal course. 

 

	 	•	 	 Revenue and gross margin assumptions should not anticipate significant improvement over current performance. Historical growth rates, recent
order activity, contract dynamics, and cyclical trends should be taken into account. A modest rate of inflation may be assumed. 

  

	 	•	 	 Operating expense assumptions should not anticipate improvements over current performance except to the extent that such improvements are easily
quantifiable and verifiable and that there is little or no execution risk; 

  

	 	•	 	 Capital expenditures and other long term expenditure activities (e.g. R & D) should assume a normalized level sufficient to maintain the
borrower’s competitive position in its industry. 

  

	 	•	 	 Working capital dynamics (e.g., turnover ratios, day’s outstanding measures) should not anticipate significant improvement over current
performance unless based on verifiable changes in selling or purchasing terms, collection techniques, or process/product flow. 

  

	 	•	 	 Interest rates should use the current forward LIBOR curve. 

 Change in Circumstances 
 Because the GMS Finance Base Case is the basis for tracking
the borrower’s performance and the Internal Risk Rating assigned to Middle Market Loans, a subsequent acquisition or divestiture by the borrower may alter the basis of GMS Finance’s evaluation of the credit in subsequent periods. In such
situations, the GMS Finance Base Case may be revised with the approval of Risk Management. A mere change in circumstances is generally not sufficient justification to change the GMS Finance Base Case.

 POLICY 4.3 – RETENTION OF PROFESSIONALS 

GMS Finance may decide to engage outside professional expertise to assist in due diligence and legal aspects of the credit process. Such expertise is
often critical and the choice of professional firm plays a significant role in both the quality of the work performed (and therefore the benefit to GMS Finance), as well as the cost to either GMS Finance or our client. 

All engagements and contracts must be approved in accordance with the relevant Carlyle or GMS Finance policies. Specifically, external vendors must be
contracted in accordance with Carlyle’s Vendor Contracts Policy. With respect to engagement of legal counsel, approval of the General Counsel, the GMS Finance President and the GMS Finance Head of Risk Management are also required. With respect
to engagement of accounting firms, approval of the CFO is also required. 
 This policy does not pertain to situations where the borrower, the
sponsor, or an agent bank retains third party professionals upon which GMS Finance will place reliance. The adequacy of such third party input arranged by others is a matter of judgment to be considered in the due diligence process.

 POLICY 4.4 – DOCUMENTATION AND CLOSING POLICIES 

Closing Memorandum 
 Subsequent to
Credit Approval, but no later than 2 days prior to closing, a Closing Memorandum summarizing all follow-up underwriting matters from Credit Approval must be prepared and approved as set forth in Policy 4.1 – Due Diligence. 

Legal Documents 
 Immediately
after Credit Approval and if applicable, receipt of a signed Commitment Letter, Risk Management will determine the protocol for documentation of the transaction. Generally on all transactions in which GMS Finance is the Administrative Agent or sole
lender, loan documents will be prepared by outside legal counsel who has been retained by GMS Finance on behalf of itself and/or the lender group (See Policy 4.3 – Retention of Professionals). In cases where GMS Finance is a participant,
documentation must be referred to outside counsel (See Policy 4.3 – Retention of Professionals). In any case in which legal counsel is to be retained prior to Credit Approval engagement must be approved in accordance with Policy 4.3 –
Retention of Professionals. As part of the documentation review, the Underwriting Staff must insure the transaction is compliant with the indenture or credit agreement that is applicable for the financing that is being used to fund the transaction.

 Funds Flow Memorandum 

When GMS Finance is the Administrative Agent, no later than two days prior to closing, a Funds Flow Memorandum should be jointly prepared by legal counsel
and the Underwriting Staff responsible for the transaction. This should summarize all closing details pertaining to disbursement mechanics, and participant lender information including contact persons, account numbers, tax ID’s, etc. Actual
funding amounts, final fee calculations etc. may not be finalized until shortly before closing and should be reflected in the Funds Flow Memorandum as soon as is practical. This memorandum should be reviewed for accuracy by the GMS operations team
or a designated third-party as applicable. 
 Closing Checklist 
 When GMS Finance is Administrative Agent or sole lender, prior to closing, a Closing Checklist must be prepared by counsel and reviewed by the Underwriting Staff responsible for the transaction. This
checklist should address all administrative and documentary aspects of the closing. Material post-closing matters not previously disclosed must be elevated to Risk Management. 
 Transmittal to Custodian 
 All relevant legal documents associated with the
transaction should be forwarded to the GMS operations team. Copies of all legal documents for the subject transaction must be maintained on GMS Finance’s premises. 
 UCC-1 Financing Statements 
 Where GMS Finance is the Administrative Agent or sole
lender, UCC-1 Financing Statements which are required to perfect GMS Finance’s security interest in certain collateral must be tracked so as to assure that any renewals are filed on a timely basis in order to maintain continuity of collateral
interest. Policies for maintaining and tracking UCC-1 information shall be established by Risk Management.

 POLICY 5.0 – LOAN MONITORING 
 Introduction 
 Loan monitoring for Middle Market Loans (“Loan Monitoring”)
is generally defined to encompass regular covenant and collateral monitoring (as appropriate) as well as periodic financial analysis and stress testing. It is also important that in leveraged buyouts, the transactions be viewed from a larger
perspective to determine if the original rationale and intent of the transaction continues to be viable and whether events have occurred as anticipated. Execution risks involved in acquisitions or combinations should be assessed, (e.g., integration
of new management, success in achieving synergies, cost reductions, penetration of new markets, and retention of customers). 

Responsibility for Loan Monitoring 

Responsibility for Loan Monitoring resides with the Portfolio Management Staff. Typically a Vice President is assigned primary responsibility for managing
the relationship with the borrower after closing and is ultimately accountable to ensure an appropriate level of monitoring and analysis is conducted in a timely manner. With appropriate supervision and oversight (to be determined by Risk
Management,) monitoring/analytic responsibilities may be delegated to junior personnel. 
 Key Credit Metrics for Loan Monitoring

 The analysis of deviations from the management case and the GMS Finance Base Case, and compliance with loan agreement covenants are
the central features of Loan Monitoring at GMS Finance. Key metrics that are typically tracked by GMS Finance for Middle Market Loans include, but are not limited to: Revenue, EBITDA, Total Leverage, Senior Leverage, EBITDA to FFO conversion, FFO +
Interest Expense to Interest Expense, EBITDA – CapX to interest expense, Cash Interest Coverage, Fixed Charge Coverage, Free Cash Flow Available to Reduce Debt, Senior Debt Outstanding, and Liquidity. It is expected that no less frequently than
quarterly (or more frequently as may be practical when financial information is received) such variations will be highlighted and the risk implications of such variations will be assessed. Variations from an originally proposed schedule of cash
generation via asset sales, either resulting from timing issues or asset valuation, should also be highlighted. 
 For the purpose of this
policy the following definitions will apply: 
  

	 	•	 	 Total Leverage is defined as the ratio of Total Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA. It is generally not acceptable to utilize a net debt concept in which
Funded Indebtedness is reduced by cash. 

  

	 	•	 	 Senior Leverage is defined as the ratio of Senior Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA. As above, Indebtedness generally may not be reduced by cash.

  

	 	•	 	 Cash Interest Coverage is defined as EBITDA – Management Fees (if not included in EBITDA) - CapX – Cash Taxes – Capitalized Operating
Expenses – the cash impact of the reduction in any previously established reserves, all divided by (2) Cash Interest Expense. To the extent there is any Non-Cash Interest which is anticipated to become Cash Paying within the next 12
months, it should be included as cash interest. 

  

	 	•	 	 Fixed Charge Coverage is defined as (1) EBITDA – Management Fees (if not included in EBITDA) - CapX – Cash Taxes – Capitalized
Operating Expenses – the cash impact of the reduction in any 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	26  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

	 	 
previously established reserves, all divided by (2) Cash Interest Expense (including any Non-Cash Interest which is anticipated to become Cash Paying within the next 12 months), plus
Scheduled Repayment of Debt and Mandatory Commitment Reductions. 

  

	 	•	 	 Free Cash Flow Available to Reduce Debt is defined as EBITDA – Management Fees (if not included in EBITDA) - Cash Interest - Cash Taxes –
CapX - Capitalized Operating Expenses – the cash impact of the reduction in any previously established reserves – the change in working capital. 

 

	 	•	 	 Liquidity is defined as Cash on the Balance Sheet plus unused RC Availability. 

 

	 	•	 	 Debt to EBITDA – Capex 

  

	 	•	 	 Cash Conversion 

  

	 	•	 	 (FFO + Interest) /Interest 

Periodic Meetings with Borrowers 

It is expected that periodically, but at least annually, the Portfolio Management Staff will meet, either in person or telephonically, with the Management
of each borrower to review performance and get an update on business and industry conditions, as well as the borrower’s strategy. 

Changes in Risk Ratings 
 As a
result of changes in the risk profile of transactions, appropriate upgrades or downgrades in the Internal Risk Rating should be suggested (See Policy 2.0 – Risk Rating Methodology) by the Portfolio Management Staff. Situations which may warrant
a downgrade in the Internal Risk Rating must be brought to the attention of Risk Management immediately. Putting a loan into a Watch List Rating Category may be warranted if there are significant deviations of actual performance from the GMS Finance
Base Case. 
 Covenant Compliance 
 Performance against loan covenants and availability formulas must be calculated at least quarterly, and more frequently in individual cases as may be determined by Risk Management. 

Refinancings, Restructurings, Waivers and Amendments 
 Borrowers may opt to refinance, restructure, or amend an existing investment. Additionally, a potential or existing covenant default can lead to a request for a waiver or amendment from the borrower. When
the need for a refinancing, restructuring, waiver or amendment becomes apparent, Risk Management, the CCO, and CFO must be informed immediately by the Portfolio Management Staff. 
 Credit Surveillance Reports 
 Loan Monitoring must be documented in written form in
accordance with established formats. These are referred to as Credit Surveillance Reports (“CSR’s”). The standard template for the CSR’s is maintained by Risk Management. 
 The content for CSR’s encompasses: 
  

	 	•	 	 Summary exposure/outstanding information with facility detail; Bank Group/Junior lender detail,

	 	•	 	 Management’s Original Case 

  

	 	•	 	 Management’s Current Year Budget 

  

	 	•	 	 Tracking of Actual Performance against: 

  

	 	•	 	 Required Covenant levels 

  

	 	•	 	 Borrowing Base/Availability requirements (if any) 

  

	 	•	 	 Major Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow trends 

 

	 	•	 	 Liquidity/Borrowing Base information 

  

	 	•	 	 Key Cash Flow Drivers 

  

	 	•	 	 Moody’s Rating Trend 

  

	 	•	 	 Recent credit actions taken – amendments, waivers, etc 

 

	 	•	 	 Recent borrower developments 

  

	 	•	 	 Portfolio Manager commentary/assessment

 Risk Management may, in their discretion, determine whether certain information may be excluded from the CSR’s on specific credits. 
 BDC Qualifying Asset Monitoring 
 The Portfolio Management Staff is required to
monitor compliance with the Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist at all times to make sure that the BDC is meeting the 70% Qualifying Asset Test as well as the other BDC and RIC Tests included therein. If an event occurs on a portfolio deal that could

Portfolio Reviews 
 The results of
monitoring of individual transactions will be reviewed periodically in a formal Portfolio Review. The CSR’s will be the focal point of Quarterly Portfolio Reviews, Monthly Credit Updates and Watchlist Meetings. See Policy 5.1– Portfolio
Reviews. 
 Credit Files 

Ongoing Monitoring should be documented in the Credit Files. Files should be retained in accordance with the GMS Finance Records Retention Policy.

 POLICY 5.1 – PORTFOLIO REVIEWS 
 Introduction 
 This policy outlines the periodic credit reviews required to maintain
a current risk assessment of Middle Market Loans held and/or managed by GMS Finance and to determine that such exposures are being properly managed. Portfolio Reviews are the primary vehicle for: 

 

	 	•	 	 Providing a brief update to GMS Finance’s senior management regarding the performance of individual obligors, 

 

	 	•	 	 Reaffirming or updating the Internal Risk Rating on individual Middle Market Loans, 

 

	 	•	 	 Identifying problem exposures and establishing appropriate courses of action, 

 

	 	•	 	 Determining whether the deterioration of credit quality of individual Middle Market Loans makes them no longer suitable for inclusion in any financing
vehicles or arrangements of GMS Finance, 

  

	 	•	 	 Determining whether or not individual Middle Market Loans require fair market value write-downs in accordance with GMS Finance’s accounting
policies, 

  

	 	•	 	 Reviewing aggregate portfolio metrics and credit quality statistics 

 

	 	•	 	 Reviewing portfolio tests/limits pursuant to lender requirements. 

 Responsibility 
 The scope, content, frequency of portfolio reviews and attendance at
them will be determined by Risk Management with input from members of the Portfolio Management Staff where appropriate. 
 Quarterly
Portfolio Reviews 
 GMS Finance Portfolio Reviews will be held quarterly with the frequency of review of individual Middle Market Loans
generally determined in accordance with the following criteria: 
  

	1.	The following GMS Finance Middle Market Loans will be reviewed quarterly: 

  

	 	•	 	 All credits in which GMS Finance holds a 2nd lien or subordinated debt exposure. 

 

	 	•	 	 All credits rated 3 or worse. 

  

	 	•	 	 All credits rated CCC+ or worse by S&P, or Caa1 or worse by Moody’s. 

 

	 	•	 	 All credits with total family exposure greater than $15mm. 

 

	 	•	 	 Any other credits as may be determined by the Risk Management. 

 

	2.	The following GMS Finance Middle Market Loans will be reviewed semi-annually: 

 

	 	•	 	 All credits rated 2 except if they fall in any categories above. As newly booked credits typically start at RR 2, unless an early downgrade is
warranted, the first review date for a new credit may be delayed until after receipt of two full fiscal quarters of financial information. 

  

	3.	The following GMS Finance Middle Market Loans will be reviewed annually: 

  

	 	•	 	 All credits rated 1. 

  

	4.	Risk Management may, in their discretion, defer for one quarter a credit which is scheduled for inclusion in a Portfolio Review, provided it has an Internal Risk Rating
of 2 or better.

 The exact time and date of the meetings will be determined by Risk Management. The meetings will be chaired
by the GMS Finance Head of Risk Management and should be attended (either in person or by phone) by the appropriate members of the Portfolio Management Staff. 
 Interim Credit Updates 
 Credit Updates for Watch List (Internal Risk Rating 4-6)
Middle Market Loans will be held bi-monthly or more frequently at the discretion of Risk Management. At the discretion of Risk Management, this requirement may be waived in months in which Quarterly Portfolio Reviews are held. The exact dates and
attendance for these meetings will be determined by Risk Management. 
 Information/Content for Individual Exposures 

The CSR’s pertaining to individual Middle Market Loans (See Policy 5.0 – Loan Monitoring) will serve as the primary source of information for
Quarterly Portfolio Reviews. Risk Management will determine the appropriate information requirements for the interim credit updates. 

Documentation of Actions 
 Minutes
of the Quarterly Portfolio Review meetings including actions taken (i.e. Internal Risk Rating upgrades or downgrades, recommended impairments, etc. update of Action Plans, etc.) will be summarized in memorandum format and distributed. This is the
responsibility of Risk Management.

 POLICY 5.2 – PROBLEM LOAN MANAGEMENT 

Introduction 
 Problem loans
exhibit a higher than usual potential for loss due to a variety of unfavorable factors. Preservation of GMS Finance’s capital requires prompt identification and active management of these credit exposures. 

Definition of “Problem Loan” 
 Problem Loans are defined as Middle Market Loans on Watch List with an Internal Risk Rating 4 – 6. See Policy 2.0 – Risk Rating Methodology. 

Approvals 
 Approvals of all
formal actions on Problem Loans must be approved in accordance with Policy 2.1 – Approval Authorities. Also see the section below entitled Impairment and / or Sale at a Loss for additional approval requirements. 

Loan Workout Function 
 Certain
Problem Loans may be referred to GMS Finance’s loan workout function (the “Loan Workout Team”) on either a Management or Advisory basis. The basis of the referral will be determined by Risk Management. In the case of referral on a
Management basis, the Loan Workout Team will assume day to day management and supervisory responsibility for GMS Finance’s risk exposure in conjunction with Risk Management. In the case of referral on an Advisory basis, the GMS Finance Head of
Underwriting and Portfolio Management will retain management and supervisory responsibility. For Internal Risk Rating 4 or 5, the Loan Workout Team should be considered for a Management or an Advisory role. Unless determined by Risk Management with
input from the Loan Workout Team as not necessary, the Loan Workout Team should take over Management of Internal Risk Rating 6 Problem Loans until a restructuring is completed and performance has stabilized or it is determined that direct oversight
is no longer required. 
 It is the responsibility of the Loan Workout Team as well as the Portfolio Management Staff assigned to the borrower,
to work with the borrower, other lenders, and professionals retained to assist in the matter (counsel, consultants, etc.), to propose a plan of action (including restructuring if necessary) and monitor progress against that plan. 

All waivers, amendments, and new money must be approved in accordance with Policy 2.1 - Approval Authorities. 

New Negative Developments 
 New
negative developments which affect the ability of a borrower to meet its obligations to GMS Finance on a timely basis must be communicated immediately to Risk Management. When GMS Finance serves as Agent on a syndicated credit, such developments
should also be conveyed immediately to the GMS Finance Head of Capital Markets and to other lenders on a timely basis as soon as relevant detail is available. 

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	32  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 GMS Finance Internal Risk Rating Downgrades 

It is the responsibility of the Risk Management, the Portfolio Management Staff and the Loan Workout Team (where applicable) to make an assessment as to
whether the negative developments warrant a downgrade to the Problem Loan categories or deeper into those categories. Any such proposed downgrades must be approved in accordance with Policy 2.1 – Approval Authorities. 

Impairment and / or Sale at a Loss 

Legal compromise of a borrower obligation (i.e. forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount owed to GMS Finance by a borrower – a Charged-Off
Asset) must be approved by the majority of the Investment Committee, including an affirmative vote from the Chairman or their designee. The CFO, or her designee, must be consulted as well. Such compromise may be compensated by a warrant or other
equity interest or an equity based fee, the terms and economics of which must also be approved by the majority of the Investment Committee, including an affirmative vote from the Chairman or his designee. Sale at a loss of a borrower obligation
which is a Problem Loan must be approved by the majority of the Investment Committee, including an affirmative vote from the Chairman or his designee. The CFO, or her designee, must be consulted in order to determine the appropriate accounting
treatment of all such transactions. 
 Defaulted / Delinquent Asset 
 A delinquent asset is a defaulted loan (payment default of principal or interest) where no amendment or forbearance negotiations are ongoing past the date of default, or where amendment or forbearance
discussions are ongoing such negotiations are ongoing for more than 60 days. A loan will not be classified as delinquent if an amendment or forbearance is executed within 60 days that includes a full recapture of all defaulted amounts within the
original maturity date of the loan. 
 Debtor in Possession (DIP) and Plan of Reorganization (POR) Loans 

For the avoidance of doubt, these policies permit DIP and POR loans that are otherwise in accordance with these policies. 

Retention of Work-out Professionals 
 The engagement of Workout/Turnaround consultants must be approved in accordance with Policy 4.3 – Retention of Professionals. 
 Quarterly Portfolio Reviews 
 The purpose of the Quarterly Portfolio Reviews with
respect to Problem Loans will be: 
  

	•	 	 To review the outlook for individual Problem Loans, 

  

	•	 	 To review the Internal Risk Rating assigned to those Problem Loans, 

 

	•	 	 To review the adequacy of action plans for those obligors of Problem Loans, and of account management in general, and 

 

	•	 	 To review GMS Finance’s aggregate Problem Loan statistics.

	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

 Interim Credit Updates / Watch List Meetings 

As noted in Policy 5.1 – Portfolio Reviews, an Interim Credit Update or Watch List Meeting is a more informal process which pertains only to Problem
Loans. The frequency of such updates will be bi-monthly or more frequently in the discretion of Risk Management and the Loan Workout Team. The purpose of an Interim Credit Update will be: 

 

	•	 	 To review current financial results for individual obligors, 

 

	•	 	 To review progress on individual obligor action plans, and 

 

	•	 	 To review existing Internal Risk Ratings for these Middle Market Loans. 

 Problem Loans in Affiliate Transactions 
 Particular care should be exercised in the
handling of any Problem Loan exposure as to which there are affiliate relationships including any Executive Officer or Employee of GMS Finance.

 POLICY 1.0 – INTRODUCTION 
 Introduction 
 Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc. (“GMS Finance”) invests
predominantly in first lien senior secured and unitranche loans to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity investment firms (“Middle Market Senior Loans”). Between 70% and 80% of the value
of GMS Finance’s portfolio is expected to be invested in Middle Market Senior Loans, with the balance invested in higher-yielding investments, which may include middle market junior loans such as corporate mezzanine loans, equity
co-investments, broadly syndicated first lien senior secured loans and second lien loans, high-yield bonds, structured products and/or other opportunistic investments (“Opportunistic Investments”). This Risk Policy Manual only applies to
GMS Finance’s investments in certain Opportunistic Investments, namely High Yield Instruments and Structured Credit Investments. A separate risk policy manual covers investments not covered herein. For purposes of this Risk Policy Manual,
“High Yield Instruments” are defined as broadly syndicated first and second lien loans as well as high-yield bonds and “Structured Credit Investments” are defined as investments in structured products such as collateralized loan
obligations or collateralized debt obligations. 
 GMS Finance is externally managed by Carlyle GMS Investment Management L.L.C. (the
“Investment Adviser”). The Investment Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Carlyle Group L.P. (“Carlyle”). Through its Investment Adviser, GMS Finance has access to personnel for investing in High Yield Instruments and
Structured Credit Investments. 
 For purposes of Section A of this policy, the Portfolio Management Staff is defined as the portfolio managers
and credit analysts from the broadly syndicated loan team that are assigned to monitor High Yield Instruments. For purposes of Section A of this policy, the Lead Portfolio Manager is defined as the portfolio manager that heads the Portfolio
Management Staff for High Yield Instruments. 
 For purposes of Section B of this policy, the Portfolio Manager refers to the person designated
by the Investment Adviser to purchase, sell and generally manage GMS Finance’s Structured Credit Investments. 
 The GMS Finance Investment
Committee (the “Investment Committee”) will meet regularly on GMS Finance’s Opportunistic Investments to discuss current dynamics of the market, the relative value of Opportunistic Investments verses Middle Market Senior Loans, and
specific deals worth considering.

 SECTION A - HIGH YIELD INSTRUMENTS 

POLICY 2.0 – RISK RATING METHODOLOGY 
 Introduction 
 GMS Finance’s credit risk rating protocol for High Yield
Instruments (“Risk Rating”) is an integral part of its credit risk management process. It seeks to: 
  

	 	•	 	 Assess and categorize risk across High Yield Instruments, 

 

	 	•	 	 Provide early warning regarding potential problem exposures, and 

 

	 	•	 	 Understand the aggregate levels of risk across the portfolio of High Yield Instruments. 

GMS Finance High Yield Instruments may be subject to two Risk Ratings: (1) the ratings (or ratings estimates) provided by external Rating Agencies,
and (2) GMS Finance’s Internal Risk Rating. Any memorandum or analysis prepared by GMS Finance staff which references a Credit Risk Rating should show both the external and internal ratings, where available. 

External Rating Agency Ratings 

If being funded through certain financing agreements that GMS Finance has in place, GMS Finance High Yield Instruments which do not have a publicly-traded
market price will require either (1) a public rating or private letter rating from S&P and Moody’s, or (2) to be submitted annually to Moody’s and S&P for a credit estimate (“Rating Agency Rating”). In the case
of public or private letter ratings, the borrower is involved in the rating process and supplies all necessary information to the agencies. In the case of credit estimates, the borrower is not involved, and lenders individually request credit
estimates, irrespective of the fact that one lender will generally be acting as Administrative Agent for the lender group. 
 GMS Finance
Internal Risk Rating Methodology 
 Overview 

GMS Finance utilizes a 10 point risk rating system for High Yield Instruments (“Internal Risk Rating”), which is independent of
the Rating Agency Rating. 
 Rating Scale and Definitions: 

 

	 	1	Moody’s Equivalent: Baa3; S&P Equivalent: BBB-. Strong credit metrics overall; minimal risk 

 

	 	2	Moody’s Equivalent: Ba2-Baa3; S&P Equivalent: BB-BB+. Strong credit metrics with above average collateral coverage and free cash flow

  

	 	3	Moody’s Equivalent: Ba2-Ba3; S&P Equivalent: BB-BB-. More reliance on enterprise value than hard asset coverage. Consistent cash flow generation.

  

	 	4	Moody’s Equivalent: Ba3-B1; S&P Equivalent: BB- -B+. Good cash flow but volatile in downside scenarios. 

 

	 	5	Moody’s Equivalent: B1-B2; S&P Equivalent: B+ -B. More susceptible in downside scenarios with weak collateral / enterprise value coverage.

  
  

					
	Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc.	 		 	5  
	Risk Policy Manual – May 2013	 	Trade Secret and Strictly Confidential	 	

	 	6	Moody’s Equivalent: B2-B3; S&P Equivalent: B-B-. Unsecured profile with risky cash flows 

 

	 	7	Moody’s Equivalent: B3-Caa1; S&P Equivalent: B- -CCC+. Unsecured profile, highly levered, minimal cash flow. 

 

	 	8	Watch List - Moody’s Equivalent: Caa1; S&P Equivalent: CCC+. Likely or existing default with minimal principal impairment.

  

	 	9	Watch List - Moody’s Equivalent: Default; S&P Equivalent: -. Default with significant principal loss 

 

	 	10	Watch List - Moody’s Equivalent: Default; S&P Equivalent: -. Default with most overall principal loss 

Approval and Maintenance of Risk Ratings on High Yield Instruments 
 Rating Agency Rating. If the rating is a credit estimate, it is the responsibility of the Portfolio Management Staff to provide all information required by the rating agencies for the initial
rating as well as updates. 
 Internal Risk Rating. It is the responsibility of the Portfolio Management Staff to maintain GMS
Finance’s Internal Risk Rating for High Yield Instruments on a timely basis. All ratings should be reviewed at least quarterly or more frequently as necessary in conjunction with the normal Loan Monitoring process (see Policy 5.0 – Loan
Monitoring). All downgrades in GMS Finance’s Internal Risk Ratings for High Yield Instruments to 8 or worse will be communicated to the GMS Finance Investment Committee, GMS Finance General Counsel (“General Counsel”), GMS Finance
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), GMS Finance Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) and Carlyle Global Market Strategies (“GMS”) Director of Operations.

 POLICY 4.0 - DUE DILIGENCE 
 Introduction 
 This policy provides guidance on the scope and content of GMS
Finance’s due diligence on High Yield Instruments which are under consideration. Due diligence is the responsibility of the Portfolio Management Staff and in the context of the general guidelines below the Portfolio Management Staff has broad
discretion to determine the scope of acceptable due diligence in specific cases. 
 Essential Elements of Due Diligence

 The Portfolio Management Staff is responsible for performing all due diligence policies necessary to fully analyze all of the risks
associated with the proposal. The due diligence process for new transactions generally includes the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 Attend (either in person or telephonically) a presentation by management covering overview of company and industry. 

 

	 	•	 	 Identify and analyze key issues: Revisit preliminary analyses and isolate the key transaction issues. Fully evaluate business strategy,
products, distribution channels, marketing capabilities, customers, production and operations, suppliers, competition, management background, technology, environmental issues, and legal and regulatory issues. Conduct industry due diligence including
utilization of consultants as appropriate. All questions and concerns should be discussed with management and the sponsor, and/or the Agent Lender (if Agent is not GMS Finance). 

 

	 	•	 	 Financial analysis: Analyze the company’s historical financial performance and major financial assumptions for future performance. Review
results of financial due diligence performed by accountants retained by sponsor or lenders. Review and analyze credit statistics of comparable companies and recent transactions in the same or similar industries. Normally, a minimum of three years of
historical financial statements and the most recent interim results are required. In cyclical industries, a longer financial history may be appropriate. Understanding of the company’s cost structure, (i.e., fixed and variable costs) is
essential. Cash flow break-even and refinance scenarios should be evaluated. Base case and downside analyses should be prepared. 

  

	 	•	 	 Rating Agency / Financing Considerations: The Portfolio Management Staff must evaluate the likely credit rating to be assigned by external
rating agencies. Additionally, it must evaluate compliance with all relevant financing vehicle requirements and limits. 

  

	 	•	 	 Risks and Mitigants: After considering all key issues and financial and structural elements of the transaction, the Portfolio Management Staff
should evaluate the risks and mitigants of the transaction and reach a conclusion. 

 Analysis and due diligence performed by
third party consultants may be used as appropriate. These are generally retained by the financial sponsor, or may be retained by GMS Finance or the Agent Lender. See Policy 4.1 – Retention of Professionals.

diligence is an ongoing process that begins with the evaluation of the Confidential Information Memorandum on new transactions, and continues until a transaction is funded. After credit approval, if major issues surface that are not consistent with
the analysis of the transaction or the assumptions upon which the approval was based, the Portfolio Management Staff should determine the appropriate course of action.

 POLICY 4.1 – RETENTION OF PROFESSIONALS 

GMS Finance may decide to engage outside professional expertise to assist in due diligence and legal aspects of the credit process. Such expertise is
often critical and the choice of professional firm plays a significant role in both the quality of the work performed (and therefore the benefit to GMS Finance), as well as the cost to either GMS Finance or our client. 

All engagements and contracts must be approved in accordance with the relevant Carlyle or GMS Finance policies. Specifically, external vendors must be
contracted in accordance with Carlyle’s Vendor Contracts Policy. With respect to engagement of legal counsel, approval of the General Counsel is also required. With respect to engagement of accounting firms, approval of the CFO is also
required. This policy does not pertain to situations where the borrower, the sponsor, or an agent bank retains third party professionals upon which GMS Finance will place reliance. The adequacy of such third party input arranged by others is a
matter of judgment to be considered in the due diligence process.

 POLICY 5.0 – LOAN MONITORING 
 Introduction 
 Loan monitoring for High Yield Instruments (“Loan
Monitoring”) is generally defined to encompass regular covenant and collateral monitoring (as appropriate) as well as periodic financial analysis and stress testing. It is also important that in leveraged buyouts, the transactions be viewed
from a larger perspective to determine if the original rationale and intent of the transaction continues to be viable and whether events have occurred as anticipated. Execution risks involved in acquisitions or combinations should be assessed,
(e.g., integration of new management, success in achieving synergies, cost reductions, penetration of new markets, and retention of customers). 

Responsibility for Loan Monitoring resides with the Portfolio Management Staff. 
 Key Credit Metrics for Loan Monitoring 
 Key metrics that are typically tracked by
GMS Finance for High Yield Instruments may include, but are not limited to: Revenue, EBITDA, Total Leverage, Senior Leverage, EBITDA to FFO conversion, FFO + Interest Expense to Interest Expense, EBITDA – CapX to interest expense, Cash Interest
Coverage, Fixed Charge Coverage, Free Cash Flow Available to Reduce Debt, Senior Debt Outstanding, and Liquidity. It is expected that no less frequently than quarterly (or more frequently as may be practical when financial information is received)
such variations will be highlighted and the risk implications of such variations will be assessed by the Portfolio Management Staff. Variations from an originally proposed schedule of cash generation via asset sales, either resulting from timing
issues or asset valuation, should also be highlighted. 
 Changes in Risk Ratings 

As a result of changes in the risk profile of transactions, appropriate upgrades or downgrades in the Internal Risk Rating should be made by the Lead
Portfolio Manager and the Portfolio Management Staff. Putting a loan into a Watch List Rating Category may be warranted if there is significant deterioration of performance. 
 Covenant Compliance 
 Covenant tightness based on public filings is reviewed at least
quarterly. 
 Refinancings, Restructurings, Waivers and Amendments 
 Borrowers may opt to refinance, restructure, or amend an existing investment. Additionally, a potential or existing covenant default can lead to a request for a waiver or amendment from the borrower.
Refinancings, restructurings, waivers or amendments must be handled and approved in accordance with Policy 2.1 – Approval Authorities. 

BDC Qualifying Asset Monitoring 

The Investment Adviser is required to monitor compliance with the Pre-Trade Compliance Checklist at all times to make sure that the BDC is meeting the 70%
Qualifying Asset Test as well as the other BDC and RIC Tests included therein. If an event occurs on a portfolio deal that could result in the deal becoming a Non-Qualifying Asset (e.g. refinancing, restructuring, waiver or amendment), the General
Counsel, CCO, CFO, and CAO should be alerted immediately by the Portfolio Management Staff.

 Credit Files 
 Ongoing Monitoring should be documented in the credit files. Files should be retained in accordance with the GMS Finance Records Retention Policy. 
 Problem Loans 
 Monitoring policies specifically relating to problem loan situations
are outlined in Policy 5.1– Problem Loan Management. 
 Communication with Rating Agencies 

In cases where GMS Finance has received a credit estimate from an external rating agency, it is the responsibility of the Portfolio Management Staff to
ensure that the rating agencies are provided with all information they require on a timely basis in order to maintain such credit estimates. 

POLICY 5.1 – PROBLEM LOAN MANAGEMENT 
 Introduction 
 Problem loans exhibit a higher than usual potential for loss due to a
variety of unfavorable factors. Preservation of GMS Finance’s capital requires prompt identification and active management of these credit exposures. 
 Definition of “Problem Loan” 
 Problem Loans are defined as High Yield
Instruments with an Internal Risk Rating 8 – 10 or investments of any rating which management feels should be placed on “problem loan” status. See Policy 2.0 – Risk Rating Methodology. 

Approvals 
 Approvals of all
formal actions on Problem Loans must be approved in accordance with Policy 2.1 –Approval Authorities. 
 New Negative Developments

 New negative developments which affect the ability of a borrower to meet its obligations to GMS Finance on a timely basis must be
discussed amongst the Lead Portfolio Manager and the Portfolio Management Staff. 
 It is the responsibility of the Lead Portfolio Manager and
the Portfolio Management Staff to make an assessment as to whether the negative developments warrant a downgrade to the Problem Loan categories or deeper into those categories. Any such proposed downgrades must be approved in accordance with Policy
2.1 – Approval Authorities.

 Impairment and / or Sale at a Loss 
 Legal compromise of a borrower obligation (i.e. forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount owed to GMS Finance by a borrower – a Charged-Off Asset) or sale at a loss of a borrower obligation
which is a Problem Loan requires approval of the Investment Committee. Approval requires a majority vote of the members of the Investment Committee, including an affirmative vote from the Chairman or his designee. The CFO, or her designee, must be
consulted in order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of all such transactions. 
 Watch List Reviews 

Meeting to review the Watch List (including Problem Loans) will be held by the Lead Portfolio Manager and the Portfolio Management Team as needed. The
purpose of the Watch List Review will be: 
  

	•	 	 To review the outlook for individual Problem Loans, 

  

	•	 	 To review the Internal Risk Rating assigned to those Problem Loans, 

 

	•	 	 To review the adequacy of action plans for those obligors of Problem Loans, and of account management in general, and 

 

	•	 	 To review GMS Finance’s aggregate Problem Loan statistics.

 SECTION B - STRUCTURED CREDIT INVESTMENTS 

POLICY 2.0 – RISK RATING METHODOLOGY 
 GMS Finance’s risk rating protocol for Structured Credit Investments is an integral part of its credit risk management process. It seeks to: 

 

	 	•	 	 Assess and categorize risk across Structured Credit Investments, 

 

	 	•	 	 Provide early warning regarding potential problem exposures, and 

 

	 	•	 	 Understand the aggregate levels of risk across the portfolio of Structured Credit Investments. 

GMS Finance Internal Risk Rating Methodology 
 Overview 
 GMS Finance utilizes a 4 point risk rating system for Structured Credit
Investments (“Risk Rating”). Base case is defined as the expected return at inception. 
  

	 	1	Performing – above base case. Structured Credit Investment is consistently performing more than 25% above the base case return.

  

	 	2	Performing – base case. Structured Credit Investment is performing within 25% of the base case return (above or below). This is the initial rating
assigned to all Structured Credit Investments. 

  

	 	3	Watch List. Structured Credit Investment is more than 25% below the base case return and there is a high risk of loss. 

 

	 	4	Watch List – Probable Loss. Structured Credit Investment is expected to experience an actual loss of principal (non-mark-to-market) with little
possible upside, and declining or no cash flow. 

 Limits 
 GMS Finance also sets and monitors standardized limits (“Limits”) at the portfolio level for Structured Credit Investments. 
 Approval and Maintenance of Risk Ratings and Limits 
 The Limits are documented by
the Portfolio Manager and approved by the Investment Committee. It is the responsibility of the Portfolio Manager to monitor and maintain GMS Finance’s Risk Ratings and Limits for Structured Credit Investments on a timely basis. All breaches in
GMS Finance’s Limits for Structured Credit Investments will be communicated to the GMS Finance Investment Committee, GMS Finance General Counsel (“General Counsel”), GMS Finance Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), GMS Finance
Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) and Carlyle Global Market Strategies (“GMS”) Director of Operations. The Investment Committee, the General Counsel, the CFO, the CAO, and GMS Director of Operations will be notified of all
downgrades in Risk Ratings to a 3 or worse.

 THIS REVOLVING NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES

 THIS REVOLVING NOTE IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT TO A
(A) QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER UNDER RULE 144A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE (1)-501(A)(1)-(3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE, WHO IS ALSO A
(B) QUALIFIED PURCHASER FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 3(c)(7) OF THE 1940 ACT, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LOAN AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN. 
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Carlyle GMS Finance SPV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to [Name of Lender Agent]
[                                        ] (the
“Lender Agent”), or its [Name of Lender]’s (“Lender”) assigns, the principal sum of [        ] DOLLARS ($[        ]), or, if less,
the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate advances (“Advances”) made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on the attached Schedule, on the dates specified in
the Loan and Servicing Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance on each day that such unpaid principal amount is outstanding, at the Yield Rate related to such Advance as provided in the Loan and Servicing
Agreement, on each Payment Date and each other date specified in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 
 This Revolving Note (the
“Note”) is issued pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2013 (as amended, modified, waived, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan and Servicing Agreement”), by and
among the Borrower, Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc., as the transferor (in such capacity, the “Transferor”) and as the servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), Citibank, N.A., as the administrative agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as the collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), each of the Conduit Lenders, Liquidity Banks, Institutional Lenders and Lender Agents from time to time

 Ex. H-1

 Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, if at any time the rate of
interest payable by the Borrower under this Note, when combined with any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Loan and Servicing Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such other charges would constitute interest for
the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would
be exceeded, the rate of interest under this Note shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Note is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest
under this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest paid by the Borrower is equal to the total interest that would have been paid had applicable law not limited the interest rate payable under this Note. In no event
shall the total interest received by the Lender under this Note exceed the amount which the Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Note been calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate. 

Payments of the principal of, and interest on, Advances represented by this Note shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
holder hereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall
have specified in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on this Note. 
 If any payment under this Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable on any principal so
extended at the applicable Yield Rate. 
 If any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Yield Rate shall be increased
pursuant to the increase set forth in the definition of “Applicable Spread” set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall apply after the occurrence of such
Event of Default. 
 Portions or all of the principal amount of the Note shall become due and payable at the time or times set
forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, together with interest thereon (and, as set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, certain costs and expenses of the Lender) at
the time and in the manner set forth in, but subject to the provisions of, the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 
 Except as
provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, the Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note. 

All amounts evidenced by this Note, the Lender’s Advances and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the
respective dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Lender Agent, on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or 

  
 Ex. H-2

 
on a continuation thereof, which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender Agent to make such a notation shall not in any way limit
or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note as provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 
 The
holder hereof may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Advances made by the Lender and represented by this Note and the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, subject to the
applicable provisions of the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 
 This Note is secured by the security interests granted pursuant to
Section 2.13 of the Loan and Servicing Agreement. The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the Loan and Servicing Agreement and exercise
the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Loan and Servicing Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Loan and Servicing Agreement. If an Event of Default shall
occur, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, may be declared, and may become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 

The Borrower, the Transferor and the Servicer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the
Account Bank, the Backup Custodian, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Administrator each intend, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, that this Note be evidence of indebtedness of the Borrower secured by the
Collateral Portfolio and the Lender, as a[n] [institutional lender] [conduit lender] under the Loan and Servicing Agreement, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to treat the Note for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Borrower. 
 This Note is a “Revolving Note” as referred to in Section 2.01 of the Loan and
Servicing Agreement. This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 To Whom It May Concern: 

In connection with the Loan Assets, the undersigned (i) acknowledges that Carlyle GMS Finance SPV LLC has granted a security
interest to Citibank, N.A. (the “Collateral Agent”), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in each of the items indicated on the closing checklist attached hereto (the “Checklist”), and (ii) certifies to you
as of the day of funding the Loan Assets as to the matters set forth below. References herein to the Loan and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2013 (as amended, modified, waived, supplemented or restated from time to time, the
“Loan and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Carlyle GMS Finance SPV LLC, as the borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc., as the transferor (in such capacity, the
“Transferor”) and as the servicer, Citibank, N.A., as the administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as the collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”),
each of the Conduit Lenders, Liquidity Banks, Institutional Lenders and Lender Agents from time to time party thereto, Citibank, N.A. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as the joint lead arrangers, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
the account bank (in such capacity, the “Account Bank”), as the backup servicer (in such capacity,

“Collateral Administrator”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 
 A. It has received and reviewed the Checklist items, in the form and subject to those exceptions or matters indicated on the Checklist in connection with acting as closing counsel for the Loan Assets;

 B. If a promissory note was executed in connection with the Loan Asset, a copy of the executed promissory note has been faxed
to the Collateral Custodian. The original promissory note(s) is/are in our possession and will be forwarded to the Collateral Custodian or as otherwise directed in writing to
                                        
(hereinafter referred to as “Outside Counsel”) by the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, for receipt within five business days after the funding date of the transaction; 

C. Within five business days after the closing, all remaining Required Loan Documents (under and as defined in the Loan and Servicing
Agreement) which are in our possession and are indicated on Schedule 1 attached hereto, will be forwarded to the Collateral Custodian; and 
 D. Notwithstanding any contrary instruction from the Transferor or the Borrower, in the event the Loan Asset is funded, it will follow the written direction of the Collateral Custodian or the
Administrative Agent on its behalf, with regard to the original promissory note(s) in its possession, provided that in the event it reasonably believes that a dispute exists as to custody of any Required Loan Documents, it may deposit them with a
court of competent jurisdiction and be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to any and all documents so deposited. 
 The Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Transferor, the Borrower and Outside Counsel acknowledge and agree that:

  

	1.	The security interest and the rights in the Required Loan Documents granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, are paramount and superior
to the rights of the Transferor and the Borrower. 

  

	2.	Outside Counsel shall not be required to perform any duties other than the duties expressly set forth in this letter. No implied obligations or duties shall be inferred
by any other agreement, written or verbal, or any representation made by any party. 

  

	3.	 Outside Counsel is authorized to comply with and obey laws, orders, judgments, decrees and regulations of any governmental authority, court, tribunal
or arbitrator. If Outside Counsel complies with any such law, order, judgment, decree or regulation Outside Counsel shall not be liable to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, the

  
 Ex. J-2

	 	
Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Transferor or the Borrower or to any other person even if such law, order, judgment, decree or regulation is subsequently
reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated, found to have been entered without jurisdiction, or found to be in violation or beyond the scope of the law. 

 

	4.	Outside Counsel shall be responsible hereunder solely to hold the original promissory note(s) for the account of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties
and to deliver the original promissory note(s) and the other relevant documents to the Collateral Custodian in accordance with the terms of this letter. 

  

	5.	Outside Counsel may act relative hereto upon the advice of counsel in reference to any matter in connection herewith and shall not be liable for any mistakes of fact or
errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

  

	6.	Outside Counsel shall be entitled to rely or act upon any notice, direction, instrument or document believed by Outside Counsel to be genuine and to be executed and
delivered by the proper person and shall have no obligation to verify any statements contained in any notice, instrument or document or the accuracy or due authorization of the execution of any notice, instrument or document.

  

	7.	Outside Counsel shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for (a) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any document,
agreement or instrument delivered to it, (b) the form of execution of any such document, agreement or instrument, (c) the identity, authority or rights of any person executing or delivering any such document, agreement or instrument, or
(d) the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which the parties may act. 

  

	8.	Outside Counsel may serve and shall continue to serve as counsel to the Transferor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Collateral Portfolio and
other matters, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, may represent the Transferor (or any affiliate) as its counsel in any action, suit or other proceeding in which the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, the
Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the Transferor (or any affiliate) may be involved. 

  

	9.	Outside Counsel shall be deemed to have satisfied any delivery requirement set forth herein if it shall have deposited the relevant documents for uninsured overnight
delivery (properly addressed) with FedEx, UPS or other overnight courier of national standing.

 Annex C 
 Diversity Score Model 
 Diversity Score 

Calculated as follows: 
 (a) An “Issuer
Par Amount” is calculated for each issuer of an Eligible Loan Asset, and is equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Eligible Loan Assets issued by that issuer and all Affiliates. 

(b) An “Average Par Amount” is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers.

 (c) An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (i) one and (ii) the
Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount. 
 (d) An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit
Score” is then calculated for each of the Moody’s industry classification groups (as set forth in Schedule VI of the Agreement) and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry
classification group. 
 (e) An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each Moody’s industry classification
group by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided, that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will
be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:

 (f) The Diversity Score is then calculated by summing each of the Industry Diversity Scores for each Moody’s
industry classification group. 
 For purposes of calculating the Diversity Score, Affiliated issuers in the same industry are deemed to be a
single issuer, except as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent 

 Annex D 
 WARR and WARF Matrix Models 
 Collateral Quality Matrix 

For any date of determination, the intersection set forth in the matrices below that has been selected by the Servicer for use in determining the scores
that are required to satisfy the Diversity Score Test, the WARF Test, the WARR Test and the Weighted Average Spread Test. The Servicer may elect from time to time to apply a different intersection in the matrices set forth below upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, however the Servicer may not elect to apply an intersection in which any Collateral Quality Test is not satisfied if there exists an intersection in which all of the Collateral Quality Tests would be satisfied. In
determining whether the criteria set forth in the matrices are satisfied, the Servicer may interpolate linearly between either Weighted Average Spread or Minimum Recovery Rate (but not both) while leaving the other values in the matrices constant.

 “Assigned Moody’s Rating” means
the monitored publicly available rating or the monitored estimated rating expressly assigned to a debt obligation (or facility) by Moody’s that addresses the full amount of the principal and interest promised; provided that, if
application has been made for such estimated rating, pending its receipt, the Assigned Moody’s Rating will be the lower of (i) the rating as may be estimated in good faith by the Servicer in accordance with the Moody’s RiskCalc
Calculation described herein and (ii) a rating of “B3”; provided, further, that with respect to any Loan Asset for which Moody’s has provided an estimated rating, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) will (x) if
such estimated rating was provided to the Borrower more than 6 months prior to the Closing Date, request that Moody’s confirm or update such estimate within 6 months after the Closing Date, and in all other cases and thereafter, request that
Moody’s confirm or update such estimate annually (and pending receipt of such confirmation or new estimate, the Loan Asset will have the prior estimated rating) and (y) notify Moody’s if the Servicer becomes aware of any
restructuring, recapitalization or other material amendment that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would have a material adverse effect on such Loan Asset. 
 “Moody’s Default Probability Rating” means, with respect to any date of determination, the rating as determined in accordance with the following, in the following order of priority;
provided that, with respect to the Loan Assets generally, if at any time Moody’s or any successor to it ceases to provide rating services, references to rating categories of Moody’s shall be deemed instead to be references to the
equivalent categories of any other nationally recognized investment rating agency selected by the Borrower (with written notice to the Administrative Agent), as of the most recent date on which such other rating agency and Moody’s published
ratings for the type of security in respect of which such alternative rating agency is used: 
 (a) with respect to a
Moody’s First Lien Loan Asset: 
 (i) if the obligor thereunder has a corporate family rating from
Moody’s, such corporate family rating; 
 (ii) if the preceding clause does not apply and such Loan Asset
has an Assigned Moody’s Rating, such Assigned Moody’s Rating; 
 (iii) if the preceding clauses do not
apply and a rating or rating estimate has been assigned by Moody’s to such Loan Asset upon the request of the Borrower or the Servicer, such rating or rating estimate, as applicable; and 

(iv) if the preceding clauses do not apply, the Moody’s Derived Rating; 

(b) with respect to a Loan Asset other than a Moody’s First Lien Loan Asset or DIP Loan Asset: 

(i) if the obligor thereunder has a senior unsecured obligation with an Assigned Moody’s Rating, such rating;

 (ii) if the preceding clause does not apply and such Loan Asset has an
Assigned Moody’s Rating, such Assigned Moody’s Rating; 
 (iii) if the preceding clauses do not apply
and a rating or rating estimate has been assigned by Moody’s to such Loan Asset upon the request of the Borrower or the Servicer, such rating or rating estimate, as applicable; and 

(iv) if the preceding clauses do not apply, the Moody’s Derived Rating; and 

(c) with respect to a DIP Loan Asset, the rating that is one rating subcategory below the Moody’s Rating thereof. 

provided, that with respect to any Loan Asset for which Moody’s has provided an estimated rating, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower)
will (x) if such estimated rating was provided to the Borrower more than 6 months prior to the Closing Date, request that Moody’s confirm or update such estimate within 6 months after the Closing Date, and in all other cases and
thereafter, request that Moody’s confirm or update such estimate annually (and pending receipt of such confirmation or new estimate, the Loan Asset will have the prior estimated rating) and (y) notify Moody’s if the Servicer becomes
aware of any restructuring, recapitalization or other material amendment that, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, would have a material adverse effect on such Loan Asset. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the Moody’s rating or ratings used to determine the Moody’s Default Probability Rating are on watch for downgrade or upgrade by Moody’s, such
rating or ratings will be adjusted down one subcategory (if on watch for downgrade) or up one subcategory (if on watch for upgrade), in each case without duplication of any adjustments made pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of
Moody’s Rating and (y) for purposes of the Moody’s Default Probability Rating used for purposes of determining the Moody’s Rating Factor of a Loan Asset, if the Moody’s rating or ratings used to determine the Moody’s
Default Probability Rating are on watch for downgrade or upgrade by Moody’s, the Moody’s Default Probability Rating will be adjusted down two subcategories (if on watch for downgrade) or up one subcategory (if on watch for upgrade) and

downgrade), then the Moody’s Derived Rating shall be “C”; 
 (d) if the preceding clauses do not apply, but such
Obligor has a corporate family rating from Moody’s, the Moody’s Derived Rating shall be one rating subcategory below such corporate family rating; 
 (e) with respect to Loan Assets that do not have a Moody’s Derived Rating determined pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), the Moody’s Derived Rating of such Loan Asset
shall be the lower of (i) the rating as may be estimated in good faith by the Servicer in accordance with the Moody’s RiskCalc Calculation described herein subject to the satisfaction of the qualifications set forth therein (and with
notice of such calculation provided to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) a rating of “B3”; provided that if the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower has applied to Moody’s for a Moody’s credit estimate

 CARLYLE GMS FINANCE, INC. 

VALUATION POLICY 
  

	I.	GENERAL 

 Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc. (the
“Company”) will be managed by Carlyle GMS Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGMSIM” or the “Adviser”), an investment adviser that intends to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the filing of
the Company’s election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). 
 The following represents the policy and procedures (the “Policy”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use by the Company for valuing its investment
portfolio. This narrative is supplemented by and subject to the specific guidance provided by Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, Accounting Series Releases 113 and 118, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosure, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ASC 820”), and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit Guide for Investment Companies (the “AICPA Investment Company Guide”). 

This Policy sets forth the methodologies and guidelines to be followed in complying with the aforementioned directive and guidance. This Policy may not
be amended without the approval of the Board. 
  

	A.	Valuation Process 

 The Company will
conduct the valuation of its assets, pursuant to which its net asset value shall be determined, at all times consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the 1940 Act. The Board, with the assistance of its audit
committee (the “Audit Committee”), will determine the fair value of the Company’s assets, on at least a quarterly basis, in accordance with the terms of ASC 820, including in connection with the determination of the Company’s net
asset value. The Company’s administrator (the “Administrator”) will assist the Company in the determination of net asset value as necessary. 
 From time to time during a quarter it may be necessary in connection with the issuance and sale of the Company’s common stock to determine that the Company is not selling its common stock at a price
below the current net asset value of such common stock, as required by Section 63 of the 1940 Act. For such purpose the Board has established by resolution a valuation committee comprised of members of senior management of the Company (the
“Committee”) that will review the composition of the Company’s portfolio at such time. The Committee may meet in person or telephonically as determined by its members. The Committee shall, to the extent it deems necessary, apply the
valuation methodologies set forth herein in order to determine that any sale of common stock is not at a price below the then current net asset value. If the Committee determines, with the assistance of the Administrator and the Adviser, that as a
result of changes in the value of the Company’s portfolio since the net asset value most recently determined that the net asset value has 

  
 -1-

 
increased, then the committee shall promptly notify the Chief Financial Officer and the Board in order to determine the current net asset value to assure compliance with Section 63 of the
1940 Act. All determinations made by the Committee, including the factors considered and the methodology employed, will be fully documented and retained as part of the Company’s records. In addition, all determinations of the Committee shall be
presented to the Board for review at its next meeting. 
 The valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below. 

 

	B.	Applicable Guidance 

 The Company’s
assets shall be valued at their fair value (i.e., an exit price) in accordance with the terms of ASC 820 and the 1940 Act.1 ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information
might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same – to estimate the price when an
orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a
market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability). 
 ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the
observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with
readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

 The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows: 

Level I — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical instruments as of
the reporting date. The type of financial instruments included in Level I include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Company will not adjust the quoted price for these instruments, even in
situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price2. 
 Level II — inputs to the valuation methodology are other than
quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The type of financial instruments in this category includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities
traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs. 

 

	1 	With respect to assets of the Company, “value” means (i) with respect to securities for which market quotations are readily available, the market value
of such securities; and (ii) with respect to other securities and assets, fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. See Section 2(a)(41)(B) of the 1940 Act. 

	2 	In accordance with ASC 820. 

  
 -2-

 Level III — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant
to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately-held entities,
non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. 
 In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is
appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires
judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. 
 The Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Adviser, will
ultimately be responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of the portfolio investments. 
  

	C.	Other Considerations 

 Valuation of
Investments made in Non-Functional Currencies 
 The valuation of investments made in currencies other than the functional currency of
the Company will give effect to the foreign currency translation as of the reporting date. 
 Transaction Costs 

Transaction costs associated with investments are the incremental direct costs of the acquisition. These transaction costs (including costs paid on the
Company’s behalf) are not attributes of the acquired investment itself, but are specific to the transaction. Therefore, these costs are not included in the measurement of the fair value of the investment. 

In accordance with the accounting treatment prescribed in the AICPA Investment Company Guide, the Company will include transaction costs in the initial
cost basis. Subsequent measurement of the investment at fair value will generally result in an initial unrealized loss on day one following the investment, reflecting the difference between the fair value (i.e., exit price) and the
cost basis (inclusive of transaction costs). 
 Subsequent Events and Information 

Subsequent events and/or subsequent information that might impact a value conclusion after the valuation has been approved by the Board of Directors and
prior to the issuance of the financial statements are reviewed and handled in accordance with GAAP. Such information may also be relevant in connection with the determination of the current net asset value of the Company’s common stock. If such
information is deemed to be material, it may necessitate additional financial statement disclosure or a change to the valuation of a portfolio investment or the Company’s current net asset value.

  
 -3-

	D.	Valuation Process 

 The process generally
used to determine the applicable value will be as follows: (i) the value of each portfolio company or investment will be initially reviewed by the Adviser’s investment professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and,
for non-traded investments (non-traded investments are illiquid securities/instruments), a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs, updated credit statistics and
unobservable inputs will be used for such valuations; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions will be documented and reviewed by the Committee; (iii) third-party valuation firms engaged by, or on behalf of, the Board of Directors will
provide positive assurance on portions of the portfolio each quarter (such that each non-traded investment will be reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once annually), including a review of management’s preliminary valuation and
conclusion on fair value; (iv) the Audit Committee will review the assessments of the Adviser and, where appropriate, the respective third-party valuation firms and provide the Board of Directors with recommendations with respect to change in
the fair value of each investment in the portfolio; and (v) the Board of Directors will discuss the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determine the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the
input of the Adviser and, where applicable, the respective third-party valuation firms. 
 II. VALUATION OF SECURITIES/INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE
TRADED IN ACTIVE MARKETS3 

The valuation of securities/instruments that are traded in active markets will be determined on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of
such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. For these securities/instruments, no blockage discounts will be taken regardless of the size of the positions held. Securities/instruments that will
become freely tradable on the lapse of certain restrictions are valued based upon the market price of the comparable security/instrument less a market-based discount to reflect the restricted nature of the security/instrument. 

The Company expects to obtain the closing prices with respect to certain of the securities/instruments from pricing services. 

 

	3 	An active market is defined as one in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A market can
become inactive if frequency and volume become insufficient. The determination of an active / inactive market often requires judgment and internal consultation including the consideration of a number of factors pertinent to both the
security/instrument being valued and the exchange, if any, on which it trades. 

  
 -4-

	III.	VALUATION OF LIQUID SECURITIES/INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE NOT TRADED IN ACTIVE MARKETS 

 Securities/instruments falling into this category include certain types of debt and derivative investments that meet the following criteria: 

 

	 	•	 	 Market liquidity is sufficient to enable the Company to sell substantially all of its investment within a short time period;

  

	 	•	 	 Valuation models are based on industry norms; and 

  

	 	•	 	 Valuation inputs that are significant to fair value measurement are observable. 

While these securities/instruments will be valued, as of the measurement date, using one or a combination of the methodologies discussed below, the
Company expects to obtain quotes with respect to certain of the securities from pricing services, broker quotes, or counterparty marks in order to value liquid assets that are not traded in active markets. 

 

	A.	Pricing Services 

 Pricing services
aggregate, evaluate and report pricing data from a variety of sources, including the observed trades of identical or similar securities, broker quotes, model-based valuations and internal fundamental analysis and research. Given these various
possible sources, information provided by pricing service providers needs to be carefully reviewed to determine if it is representative of fair value. The Company will perform appropriate due diligence as necessary to understand the methodologies
and input assumptions used by pricing services. When doing so, the Company will determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company will use the quote
obtained, and if not determined adequate, the conclusion will be documented and alternative pricing sources may be sought and utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid securities. 

When possible, the Company will use pricing services selected by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to either corroborate the Company’s
determination of fair value (based on the Company’s models or data) or the Company will use its determination of fair value to corroborate the pricing services. In either approach, the methodology will be consistently applied. Any pricing
service used shall be presented to the Board at its next meeting for approval of the continued use of such service. 
 When corroboration of
pricing services by use of the Company’s models/data is not practical or possible, the Company will perform a combination of the following approaches: 
  

	 	•	 	 Back-test the value conclusion based on subsequent and recent trading information; 

 

	 	•	 	 Compare the value conclusion with that of other pricing services; 

  
 -5-

	 	•	 	 Conduct periodic discussions with the pricing service providers or brokers to understand the methodologies and input assumptions that are used to fair
value the securities/instruments; and/or 

  

	 	•	 	 Engage external independent valuation firms to assess the reasonableness of the valuation and/or model. 

 

	B.	Quotes from Brokers or Counterparties 

Quotes that represent an offer to buy or sell a particular security or financial instrument (i.e., “actionable quotes”) are generally deemed to
be representative of fair value. To the extent that the Company obtains third-party prices that are indicative bids and not firm quotations upon which a third party would execute a transaction, the Company generally seeks corroborative information
from other market sources to assert that the prices provided represent observable data. When doing so, the Company will determine whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine the fair value of the security/instrument. If
determined adequate, the Company will use the quote obtained, and if not determined adequate, the conclusion will be documented and alternative pricing sources may be sought and utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid
securities. In many cases, it will be necessary to use an additional methodology to corroborate the data. 
  

	C.	Valuation Models 

 In cases where the
pricing data obtained from an independent source is model-based, the Company should either perform the procedures necessary to gain an understanding of that model or run its own model to corroborate the independent source. 

 

	IV.	VALUATION OF ILLIQUID SECURITIES/INSTRUMENTS 

 The valuation of securities/instruments which are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the
Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, will be valued, as of the measurement date, using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment but
include rating based current market spread, current market spread per unit of leverage, comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analyses. 

All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment will be considered, including, but not limited to, the assessment of the following
factors, as relevant: 
  

	 	•	 	 the nature and realizable value of any collateral; 

  

	 	•	 	 call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt; 

  
 -6-

	 	•	 	 the portfolio company’s leverage and ability to make payments; 

 

	 	•	 	 the portfolio company’s ‘private letter’ credit rating; 

 

	 	•	 	 the portfolio company’s actual and expected earnings and DCF; 

 

	 	•	 	 prevailing interest rates and spreads for like securities and expected volatility in future interest rates; 

 

	 	•	 	 the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and 

 

	 	•	 	 comparisons to comparable transactions and publicly traded securities. 

 Investment performance data utilized will be the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificate received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date4 which in many cases may reflect a lag in information. 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include, but are not limited to, the
following: 
  

	 	•	 	 private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market; 

 

	 	•	 	 securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available; 

 

	 	•	 	 debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market; 

 

	 	•	 	 securities whose prices are stale; and 

  

	 	•	 	 securities affected by significant events. 

 Calibrating Valuation Techniques to Entry Price 
 Assuming an instrument’s entry
price reflects its fair value at initial recognition, the valuation techniques used to support that value at initial recognition should be calibrated to produce a result that supports the entry price. 

Impact of Changes in Operational Performance of Investments on Valuation 
 Changes in an investment’s performance, whether adverse or favorable, do not necessarily equate to a change in valuation from the perspective of a market participant. For purposes of
determining an exit price, the Company will exercise judgment as to whether or not, and if so how and when, a market participant would factor the change(s) in the investment’s performance into its valuation. 

Impact of Additional Financing Rounds or Minority Interest Sales on Valuation 
 The valuation of an investment will take into consideration any recent third-party transactions such as subsequent financing rounds or minority interest sales. In measuring fair value, the Company will
give consideration to the timing of these additional third-party financing transactions and the related 
  

	4 	Due to the time required to compile, prepare, review and approve valuations, there may be more recent information available by the time of the measurement date. The
potential valuation impact of any such information will be handled in accordance with section I.C. of this Policy. 

  
 -7-

 
facts and circumstances. Insider and strategic-led rounds are also considered as an input when determining the fair value of an investment, although related facts and circumstances need to be
assessed as to whether such insider or strategic-led rounds are substantive inputs into the determination of a fair value exit price. 

Impact of Pending Transactions on Valuation 
 The valuation of an investment will take into consideration any pending transactions. A substantive pending transaction will generally be considered a significant, observable market-based input. In
evaluating the impact of a pending transaction on valuation, the Company will consider the status of the offer, the financial qualification of the buyer and the existence of any premium pricing. Based on these factors, a discount to the offer price
should be considered in the determination of fair value. The amount of the discount should be calibrated to set the fair value of the asset at a price that another market participant would pay to acquire the security/instrument given the risk
considerations identified at the measurement date noted above. 
  

	V.	OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 

  

	A.	Company Documents 

 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any valuation procedures or methodologies that are required under the provisions of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, advisory agreement, other charter documents or offering memoranda with respect to the Company shall be applied to
the valuation of securities held by the Company even if the Company determines that such provisions are inconsistent with this valuation policy and guidance set forth herein, but in no event shall valuation procedures or methodologies be used that
are inconsistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Since the Company’s financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company will value its investments in a manner to conform to GAAP. 

 

	B.	Monitoring Responsibility and Change in Value of Fair Valued Securities 

 Using regular information sources, including financial statements, covenant compliance statements, news stories, financial wires, broker-dealer and other market contacts, and market indices, the Company
will monitor developments affecting the issuers of fair valued securities and the markets of their assigned securities or security type to determine the continuing validity of the fair value of securities without readily available market prices. See
Section I.C. for a discussion of how subsequent events are handled. 
  

	C.	Change in Valuation Method of Security/Instrument 

 The inputs used in applying different valuation techniques will refer to the assumptions that market participants traditionally use to make pricing decisions, including assumptions about risk. These
inputs may include both: (1) observable inputs, which are based on market data; and (2) unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s own assessment of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the
securities/instruments. 

  
 -8-

 The Company’s valuation techniques for measuring fair value seek to maximize observable inputs and
minimize unobservable inputs. These observable inputs may include specific or similar security/instrument price information, volatility factors, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and all other factors that have more than an
insignificant impact on the fair value measurement. 
 The Company monitors the fair value framework of certain securities/instrument without
readily available market prices (difficult to value or illiquid securities) and the related valuation inputs (including the respective price sources) and the markets in which they trade to determine any change in the fair value. This also helps to
ensure valuation techniques employed continue to maximize observable inputs. 
 In some cases, one valuation technique may provide the better
indication of fair value; however, in other circumstances, multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. 
 When reconciling multiple
valuation techniques, there may be securities/instruments for which one or more valuation techniques are no longer relevant either due to limited availability of observable inputs or based on changes in the market of the type of security/instrument
being valued. 
 Based on changes in market activity and/or changes in the observability of inputs, the Company may conclude a change in
valuation method is necessary or appropriate for a certain security/instrument. For example: 
  

	 	•	 	 A change from an income-based approach to a market-based approach might become appropriate when: 

 

	 	•	 	 a previously privately traded security becomes listed on an exchange; 

 

	 	•	 	 demand increases for a formerly thinly traded security and an active market develops; and/or 

 

	 	•	 	 other similar circumstances indicate the ready availability of market-based data that was formerly unavailable. 

 

	 	•	 	 A change from the use of a market-based approach to an income-based approach, or a required adjustment to the market-based price, might become
appropriate if: 

  

	 	•	 	 a trading suspension occurs; 

  

	 	•	 	 the security/instrument has not been traded for more than five trading days and the Company determines that the price is no longer representative of
fair value; 

  

	 	•	 	 the price received from a regular pricing source is deemed not to be based on current market data and therefore not representative of an exit price;

  

	 	•	 	 other extraordinary events occur in the market for the security/instrument or the national economy of the country in which it is issued and/or traded
which raise concerns over the reliability of the fair value of the securities/instruments; or 

  

	 	•	 	 an event materially affecting the value of a security/investment traded on an exchange in a foreign jurisdiction occurs between the time when a foreign
exchange closes and the time when the fair value is calculated.
