of this Agreement set forth in Section 13 hereof, neither the Manager nor any entity controlled by the Manager shall raise, sponsor or advise any new REIT that invests primarily in domestic mortgage backed securities in the United States. The
Company shall have the benefit of the Manager’s best judgment and effort in rendering services hereunder and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Manager shall not undertake activities that, in its good faith judgment, will adversely affect
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (c) Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Manager or Affiliates of the
Manager may serve as directors, officers, employees, agents, nominees or signatories for the Company or any Subsidiary, to the extent permitted by their Governing Instruments, as from time to time amended, or by any resolutions duly adopted by the
Board of Directors pursuant to the Company’s Governing Instruments. When executing documents or otherwise acting in such capacities for the Company, such Persons shall use their respective titles in the Company. 

(d) The Manager is authorized, for and on behalf, and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, to employ such securities dealers for the
purchase and sale of investment assets of the Company as may, in the good faith judgment of the Manager, be necessary to obtain the best commercially available net results for the Company taking into account such factors as the policies of the
Company, price, dealer spread, the size, type, timing and difficulty of the transaction involved, the firm’s general execution and operational facilities and the firm’s risk in 

  
 12 

 
positioning the securities involved. Consistent with this policy, the Manager is authorized to direct the execution of the Company’s portfolio transactions to dealers and brokers furnishing
statistical information or research deemed by the Manager to be useful or valuable to the performance of its investment advisory functions for the Company. 

(e) The Company (including the Board of Directors) agrees to take all actions reasonably required to permit and enable the Manager to carry out
its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all steps reasonably necessary to allow the Manager to file any registration statement on behalf of the Company in a timely manner or to deliver any financial statements
or other reports with respect to the Company. If the Manager is not able to provide a service, or in the reasonable judgment of the Manager it is not prudent to provide a service, without the approval of the Board of Directors or the Independent
Directors, as applicable, then the Manager shall be excused from providing such service (and shall not be in breach of this Agreement) until the applicable approval has been obtained. 

SECTION 4. AGENCY. The Manager shall act as agent of the Company in making, acquiring, financing and disposing of Investments,
disbursing and collecting the Company’s funds, paying the debts and fulfilling the obligations of the Company, supervising the performance of professionals engaged by or on behalf of the Company and handling, prosecuting and settling any claims
of or against the Company, the Board of Directors, holders of the Company’s securities or the Company’s representatives or properties. 

SECTION 5. BANK ACCOUNTS. At the direction of the Board of Directors, the Manager may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts
in the name of the Company or any Subsidiary (any such account, a “Company Account”), and may collect and deposit funds into any such Company Account or Company Accounts, and disburse funds from any such Company Account or Company
Accounts, under such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may approve; and the Manager shall, from time to time and upon request, render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board of Directors and to the auditors
of the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 6. RECORDS; CONFIDENTIALITY. The Manager shall maintain appropriate books of accounts
and records relating to services performed under this Agreement, and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by representatives of the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during normal business hours upon one
(1) business day’s advance written notice. The Manager shall keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with the services rendered under this Agreement and shall not disclose any such information (or use the same
except in furtherance of its duties under this Agreement) to nonaffiliated third parties except (i) with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors; (iii) to
appraisers, financing sources and others in the ordinary course of the Company’s business; (iv) to governmental officials having jurisdiction over the Company; (v) in connection with any governmental or regulatory filings of the
Company or disclosure or presentations to Company investors; (vi) as required by law or legal process to which the Manager or any Person to whom disclosure is permitted hereunder is a party; or (vii) to lenders or other financing sources
of the Company, provided that any such lender or other financing source executes a customary nondisclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to the Independent Directors (it being understood any such 

  
 13 

 
nondisclosure agreement shall include customary restrictions on the use of any material, nonpublic information with respect to the Company). The foregoing shall not apply to information which has
previously become publicly available through the actions of a Person other than the Manager not resulting from the Manager’s violation of this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement for a period of one year. 
 SECTION 7. OBLIGATIONS OF MANAGER; RESTRICTIONS. 

(a) The Manager shall require each seller or transferor of investment assets to the Company to make such representations and warranties
regarding such assets as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager, be necessary and appropriate or as advised by the Board of Directors and consistent with standard industry practice. In addition, the Manager shall take such other action as it
deems necessary or appropriate or as advised by the Board of Directors and consistent with standard industry practice with regard to the protection of the Investments. 

(b) The Manager shall refrain from any action that, in its sole judgment made in good faith, (i) is not in compliance with the Guidelines,
(ii) would adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT under the Code or the Company’s status as an entity excluded from investment company status under the Investment Company Act or (iii) would violate any law, rule or
regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or any Subsidiary or that would otherwise not be permitted by the Company’s Governing Instruments. If the Manager is ordered to take any such action by the Board
of Directors, the Manager shall promptly notify the Board of Directors of the Manager’s judgment that such action would adversely affect such status or violate any such law, rule or regulation or the Governing Instruments. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders and employees shall not be liable to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Board of Directors, or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s stockholders or partners, for any act or
omission by the Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders or employees except as provided in Section 11 of this Agreement. 
 (c)
The Company shall not invest in joint ventures with the Manager or any Affiliate thereof, unless (i) such Investment is made in accordance with the Guidelines and (ii) such Investment is approved in advance by a majority of the Independent
Directors. 
 (d) The Manager shall not (i) consummate any transaction which would involve the acquisition by the Company of an asset in
which the Manager or any Affiliate thereof has an ownership interest or the sale by the Company of an asset to the Manager or any Affiliate thereof, or (ii) under circumstances where the Manager is subject to an actual or potential conflict of
interest, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager or the Board of Directors, because it manages both the Company and another Person (not an Affiliate of the Company) with which the Company has a contractual relationship, take any action
constituting the granting to such Person of a waiver, forbearance or other relief, or the enforcement against such Person of remedies, under or with respect to the applicable contract, unless such transaction or action, as the case may be and in
each case, is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. 

  
 14 

 (e) The Board of Directors periodically reviews the Guidelines and the Company’s
portfolio of Investments but will not review each proposed investment, except as otherwise provided herein. If a majority of the Independent Directors determines in the periodic review of transactions by the Independent Directors, that a particular
transaction does not comply with the Guidelines (including as a result of violation of the provisions of Section 7(d) above), then a majority of the Independent Directors will consider what corrective action, if any, can be taken. The Manager
shall be permitted to rely upon the direction of the Secretary of the Company to evidence the approval of the Board of Directors or the Independent Directors with respect to a proposed investment. 

(f) The Manager shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (including the Current Term and any Renewal Term) maintain a tangible net
worth equal to or greater than $1,000,000. The Manager shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain “errors and omissions” insurance coverage and other insurance coverage which is customarily carried by property, asset and
investment managers performing functions similar to those of the Manager under this Agreement with respect to assets similar to the assets of the Company, in an amount that1 is comparable to that customarily maintained by other managers or servicers
of similar assets. 
 SECTION 8. COMPENSATION. 

(a) During the term of this Agreement (including the Current Term and any Renewal Term), the Company shall pay the Manager the Base Management
Fee monthly in arrears; provided, however, that for each calendar month beginning on the date hereof through July 31, 2022, such fee shall be equal to the greater of (A) $442,000 and (B) the Base Management Fee (and such
amount shall be deemed to be the “Base Management Fee” for such month for all purposes of this Agreement). 
 (b) The Manager shall
compute the amount of each installment of the Base Management Fee within fifteen (15) business days after the end of the calendar month with respect to which such installment is payable. A copy of the computations made by the Manager to
calculate such installment amount shall thereafter, for informational purposes only and subject in any event to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, promptly be delivered to the Board of Directors and, upon such delivery, payment of such
installment of the Base Management Fee shown therein shall be due and payable no later than the date which is twenty (20) business days after the end of the calendar month with respect to which such installment is payable. 

(c) The Base Management Fee is subject to adjustment pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13(a) of this Agreement.

 (d) In addition to the Base Management Fee otherwise payable hereunder, the Company shall pay the Manager quarterly Incentive
Compensation. The Incentive Compensation calculation and payment shall be made for each fiscal quarter in arrears. 

  
 15 

 (e) The Manager shall compute the amount of each installment of the Incentive Compensation
within thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter with respect to which such installment is payable. A copy of the computations made by the Manager to calculate such installment amount shall thereafter, subject to Section 13(a)
of this Agreement, promptly be delivered to the Board of Directors and payment of such Incentive Compensation, or such other amount as may be determined pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 8(e), shall be due and payable no later than
the date which is five (5) business days after the date of delivery to the Board of Directors of such computations. The amount of Incentive Compensation may be increased or decreased, if the Manager agrees and if a majority of the Independent
Directors determines in the exercise of reasonable discretion that the amount so calculated is not equitable based upon facts and circumstances that may include, without limitation, dividend payments, market conditions, managerial performance or
other factors not reflected in Core Earnings. 
 (f) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Incentive Compensation shall (subject to the
remaining provisions of this Section 8(f) and the provisions of Sections 8(g), 8(h) and 8(i)) be payable to the Manager in Common Shares, and the remainder thereof shall be paid in cash; provided, the Manager may (subject to the remaining
provisions of this Section 8(f) and the provisions of Sections 8(g), 8(h) and 8(i)) elect, by so indicating in the installment calculation delivered to the Board of Directors, to receive more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Incentive
Compensation in the form of Common Shares; provided, however, the Manager may not receive payment of any portion of the Incentive Compensation in the form of Common Shares, either automatically or by election, if such payment would
result in the Manager directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries owning in the aggregate more than 9.8% of the outstanding Common Shares. For purposes of this computation, Common Shares include shares issued and outstanding (whether
vested or unvested or forfeitable or non-forfeitable) and shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options (whether such options are exercisable or nonexercisable). The Manager’s receipt of Common Shares in accordance herewith
shall be subject to all applicable securities exchange rules and securities laws (including, without limitation, prohibitions on transfers and insider trading). All Common Shares paid to the Manager as Incentive Compensation will be fully vested
upon issuance, provided that the Manager hereby agrees not to sell such shares prior to the date that is one year after the date such shares are due and payable. Notwithstanding such restriction and subject to compliance with all applicable
securities laws (including, without limitation, prohibitions on insider trading), the Manager shall have the right to allocate such shares in its sole and absolute discretion to its officers, employees and other individuals who provide services to
it at any time. In addition, the foregoing restriction regarding the sale of such shares shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement. 

(g) Common Shares payable as Incentive Compensation shall be valued as follows: 

(i) if such shares are traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of
the shares on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the issuance of such shares; 

(ii) if such shares are actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or
sales price as applicable over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the issuance of such shares; and 

  
 16 

 (iii) if there is no active public market for such shares, the value shall
be the fair market value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (h) If at any time the
Manager shall, in connection with a determination of fair market value made by the Board of Directors, (i) dispute such determination in good faith by more than five percent (5%), and (ii) such dispute cannot be resolved between the
Independent Directors and the Manager within ten (10) business days after the Manager provides written notice to the Company of such dispute (the “Valuation Notice”), then the matter shall be resolved by an independent
appraiser of recognized standing selected jointly by the Independent Directors and the Manager within not more than twenty (20) days after the Valuation Notice. In the event the Independent Directors and the Manager cannot agree with respect to
such selection within the aforesaid twenty (20) day time-frame, the Independent Directors shall select one such independent appraiser and the Manager shall select one independent appraiser within five (5) business days after the expiration
of the twenty (20) day period, with one additional such appraiser (the “Last Appraiser”) to be selected by the appraisers so designated within five (5) business days after their selection, each of which shall conduct an
appraisal of fair market value. The three appraisers shall be instructed to deliver appraisals to the Manager and the Company within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the Last Appraiser. The average of the two appraisals closest in
amount shall be utilized for determination of the fair market value and shall be deemed final and binding upon the Company, the Board of Directors and the Manager. The expenses of the appraisals shall be paid by the party with the estimate which
deviated the furthest from the final valuation determination. 
 (i) The Company agrees to register the resale of the stock portion of the
Incentive Compensation in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B. 
 (j) Not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end
of each fiscal year, the Company shall pay to the Manager an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (i) the Incentive Compensation payable for the prior fiscal year before deducting paid or accrued TRS Directly Paid Fees, less
(ii) the sum of (A) the Incentive Compensation actually paid in the prior fiscal year plus (B) the TRS Directly Paid Fees actually paid for the prior fiscal year.

 SECTION 13.
TERM; TERMINATION. 
 (a) Until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be in effect until
July 31, 2023 (the “Current Term”) and shall be automatically renewed for a one-year term on that date and each anniversary date thereafter (a “Renewal Term”) unless at least two-thirds of the
Independent Directors or the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Shares agree not to automatically renew because (i) there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company or
(ii) the compensation payable to the Manager hereunder is unfair; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (ii) above if the Manager agrees to continue to provide the services under
this Agreement at a fee that at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors determines to be fair pursuant to the procedure set forth below. If the Company elects not to renew this Agreement at the expiration of the Current Term or any Renewal
Term as set forth above, the Company shall deliver to the Manager prior written notice (the “Termination Notice”) of the Company’s intention not to renew this Agreement based upon the terms set forth in this Section 13(a)
not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the then existing term. If the Company so elects not to renew this Agreement, the Company shall designate the date (the “Effective Termination Date”),
not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the notice, on which the Manager shall cease to provide services under this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate on such date; provided, however, that in the
event that such Termination Notice is given in connection with a determination that the compensation payable to the Manager is unfair, the Manager shall have the right to renegotiate such compensation by delivering to the Company, no fewer than
forty-five (45) days prior to the prospective Effective Termination Date, written notice (any such notice, a “Notice of Proposal to Negotiate”) of its intention to renegotiate its compensation under this Agreement. Thereupon,
the Company (represented by the Independent Directors) and the Manager shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith the revised compensation payable to the Manager under this Agreement. Provided that the Manager and at least two-thirds of the
Independent Directors agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Manager within forty-five (45) days following the receipt of the Notice of Proposal to Negotiate, the Termination Notice shall be deemed of no force and
effect and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the terms stated in this Agreement, except that the compensation payable to the Manager hereunder shall be the revised compensation then agreed upon by the parties to this
Agreement. The Company and the Manager agree to execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement setting forth such revised compensation promptly upon reaching an agreement regarding same. In the event that the Company and the Manager are unable
to agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Manager during such forty-five (45) day period, this Agreement shall terminate, such termination to be effective on the date which is the later of (A) ten
(10) days following the end of such forty-five (45) day period and (B) the Effective Termination Date originally set forth in the Termination Notice. 

  
 21 

 (b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13(a) or Section 15(c) of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Manager, on the date on which such termination is effective, a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) equal to the amount of four times the
sum of the average annual Base Management Fee and the average annual Incentive Compensation earned by the Manager during the two 12-month periods immediately preceding the last quarter end prior to the date of such termination, calculated as of the
end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination provided that the parties acknowledge and agree that if (and only if) any such termination in accordance with the provisions of Section 13(a) or 15(c) of this
Agreement occurs prior to July 31, 2022, then the amount of the Termination Fee shall be equal to four times the sum of the average annual Base Management Fee and the average annual Incentive Compensation earned in the aggregate by the
Company’s manager during the two twelve (12)-month periods immediately preceding the date of such termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. The parties acknowledge and
agree that the aggregate quarterly Base Management Fee and Incentive Compensation earned by the Company’s manager prior to the date hereof for each of the quarters in the twenty-four (24) month period ended June 30, 2020 is attached
hereto as Exhibit D and shall be utilized in determining the Termination Fee in accordance with the preceding sentence, if necessary. The obligation of the Company to pay the Termination Fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 (c) No later than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Current Term or any Renewal Term, the Manager may
deliver written notice to the Company informing it of the Manager’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective upon expiration of the
then current term. 
 (d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 hereof, such termination shall be
without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Sections 6, 9, 10, 13(b) and 16 of this Agreement. In addition, Sections 8(i) (including the provisions of Exhibit B) and 11 of this Agreement
shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 14. ASSIGNMENT. 

(a) Except as set forth in Section 14(b) of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment,
in whole or in part, by the Manager, unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Company with the consent of a majority of the Independent Directors. Any such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same
manner as the Manager is bound, and the Manager shall be liable to the Company for all errors or omissions of the assignee under any such assignment. In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement
naming such assignee as Manager. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the case of assignment by the Company to another REIT or other organization which is a successor (by
merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of such assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound under this Agreement. 

  
 22 

 (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Manager may subcontract and assign
any or all of its responsibilities under Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) of this Agreement to any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement applicable to any such subcontract or assignment, and the Company hereby consents to any
such assignment and subcontracting. In addition, provided that the Manager provides prior written notice to the Company for informational purposes only, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer
of any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 15. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. 

(a) The Company may terminate this Agreement effective upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination from the Company to
the Manager, without payment of any Termination Fee, if (i) the Manager materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such breach shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after the Manager’s receipt of written notice
thereof specifying such breach and requesting that the same be remedied in such thirty (30) day period, (ii) the Manager engages in any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds, or embezzlement against the Company, (iii) there is an

(v) there is entered an order for relief or similar decree or order with respect to the Manager by a court having competent jurisdiction in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted or under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws; or (vi) the Manager (A) ceases, or admits in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for the benefit

(60) days; (C) authorizes or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the application of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment

later than sixty (60) days following such request. The Manager shall not be liable to the Company, any Subsidiary, the Independent Directors, or the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s stockholders or partners for any acts performed or
omissions to act by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the money or other property released to the Company or any Subsidiary in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 17. The Company and any Subsidiary shall indemnify

 Exhibit A 

ACRES CAPITAL LLC 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY 

The Manager, by itself and through its Affiliates, including Acres Capital, and their respective subsidiaries (collectively,
“Acres”), provides investment advisory services and manages the assets and day-to-day operations of various entities, including Exantas Capital Corp. (the “Company”). Acres is responsible for all activities relating
to the assets and operations of the Company and, in such capacity, hereby sets forth the following policies with respect to conflicts of interest that might arise among the Company and Acres’ other advisees: 

(a) Except with the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, the Company will not be permitted to invest in any
investment fund, collateralized loan obligation or collateralized debt obligation structured, co-structured or managed by Acres or its Affiliates (each, an “Investment Vehicle”) other than those structured, co-structured or managed
primarily on the Company’s behalf. If the Company does invest in any Investment Vehicle that has other investors, Acres will waive, or refund to the Company, any base asset management fees allocable to the Company in respect of its investment
in such Investment Vehicle. 
 (b) Except with the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, the Company will not
be permitted to enter into any transaction with Acres or any investment entity or fund managed or advised by Acres (collectively, “Other Clients”), including but not limited to purchasing any investment from, or selling any
investment to, Acres or an Other Client, except that the Company may purchase an investment originated by Acres either (i) within 60 days before such investment is acquired by the Company or (ii) with the specific intent to sell such
investment to the Company. 
 (c) Investments that may be appropriate for the Company, on the one hand, and one or more of
Acres or Other Clients, on the other hand, will be allocated as between the Company, Acres and such Other Clients in accordance with Acres’ allocation policies and procedures in effect from time to time. 

Acres may make exceptions to these general policies when circumstances render the application thereof inequitable or uneconomic.

 Exhibit B 

Registration Rights Agreements 

1. Piggyback Rights. The Manager and any Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined) shall have the unlimited right to piggyback on
to any registration statement of the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form); provided, however, that in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters may exclude the
shares of the Manager and any Permitted Transferee to the same extent and in the same proportion that shares of holders (other than the Company) are excluded, if the managing underwriters determine in good faith that marketing factors require a
limitation on the number of shares to be included in such offering. 
 2. Demand Rights. The Manager and any Permitted Transferee
shall also have the right to require the Company to prepare, file and maintain at all times such number of registration statements as are specified in the next sentence of this Section 2(a) exclusively for the resale of the stock portion of the
Incentive Compensation (the “Incentive Shares”). The Manager and any Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to (i) an unlimited number of registrations on Form S-3 or any successor or replacement forms and (ii) if the Management
Agreement terminates and the Company is not then eligible to use Form S-3 or any successor or replacement form, a single registration on such other form as the Company is then eligible to use. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
demand rights described herein may only be exercised upon request of the Manager and any Permitted Transferee, in the case of clause (i), who hold in the aggregate at least twenty percent (20%) of all outstanding Incentive Shares and, in the
case of clause (ii), who hold in the aggregate at least one-third of all outstanding Incentive Shares. 
 3. Registration Procedures.
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected the registration of the Incentive Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to permit the resale of the Incentive
Shares by the Manager or any Permitted Transferee. 
 4. Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses of registration, including its
professional fees and registration and filing fees with the SEC, state securities administrators and applicable stock exchanges, and printing, word processing and delivery and distribution fees with respect to any registration statement, prospectus
(preliminary or final), or any amendments or supplements thereto, and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Manager and any Permitted Transferees, provided, however, the Company shall not be liable for the underwriting discounts
and commissions associated with the sale of the Incentive Shares. 
 5. Successors and Assigns; Permitted Transferees. The agreements
in this Exhibit B shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the Company and the Manager. For purposes of this Exhibit B, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean each person or entity to whom
the Manager transfers any Incentive Shares. 

  
 33 

 6. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Manager and its Permitted Transferees and (ii) each person, if any, who
controls the Manager and its Permitted Transferees within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives and agents of the Manager and its Permitted Transferees or any person who controls any of the foregoing (each person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified
Parties”), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, judgments, expenses, liabilities or actions relating to
purchases and sales of the Incentive Shares) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, judgments, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement or prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
any preliminary prospectus relating to a registration statement, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof;
provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in a registration statement or prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a registration statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining
to the Manager or its Permitted Transferees or furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Manager or its Permitted Transferees specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a registration statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of the Manager or any Permitted Transferee from whom the
person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Incentive Shares concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Incentive Shares was required to be delivered by the Manager or such Permitted Transferee, as
the case may be, under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of the Manager or such Permitted Transferee results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior
to the written confirmation of the sale of such Incentive Shares to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to the Manager or such Permitted Transferee; provided further,
however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who
controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Manager or any Permitted Transferee if requested by the Manager or such Permitted
Transferee. 

  
 34 

 (b) In connection with any registration statement in which the Manager or a Permitted
Transferee is participating and as a condition to such participation, the Manager and such Permitted Transferee, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives,
agents and investment advisers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Company Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to the registration statement,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to the Manager or such Permitted Transferee or furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Manager or
such Permitted Transferee specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company or any Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or such Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
the Manager or such Permitted Transferee may otherwise have to the Company or any Company Indemnified Person. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt
by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except
to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under
subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who may be counsel to the indemnifying party unless, in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, a potential conflict exists), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party unless such settlement (i) includes any unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

  
 35 

 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties 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 on the one hand or the
Manager or such Permitted Transferee or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The
amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6(d), neither the Manager nor any Permitted Transferee shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by the Manager or such Permitted Transferee from the sale of the Incentive Shares pursuant to the registration statement exceeds the amount of damages which
the Manager or such Permitted Transferees have 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. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the
same rights to contribution as the Company. 
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 6 shall survive the sale of the Incentive
Shares pursuant to a registration statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of the Management Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 (c) The
obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance is several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
hereunder. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any liability or obligation to fund any Advance.

(a) If requested by a Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a duly executed Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns

by such independent nationally recognized third-party valuation firm (as such valuation may be updated thereafter); and 

  

	 	(ii)	 with respect to a Material CLO Modification, reduced to zero. 

The Borrower acknowledges that the reduction of the Value of a Portfolio Asset or Specified CLO Asset pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) may cause a
Cash Trap Event and result in repayments of the Advances Outstanding as required by Section 2.08. 
 (c) The Borrower may at any time
prepay the Advances Outstanding, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at the option of the Borrower, in a minimum amount of at least $1,000,000 (for prepayments in part made when the Advances Outstanding are more than $1,000,000), by

 (d) Upon any prepayment of Advances Outstanding pursuant to this Section 2.04,
the Borrower shall also pay in full any accrued and unpaid interest, any prepayment fee and all costs and expenses of the Secured Parties related to such Advances then due and payable. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04 to the pro rata payment of all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Advances and all due and payable costs and expenses of the Secured Parties related to such Advances until paid in full
and thereafter to prepay such Advances Outstanding. 
 (e) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to Initial
Lender, terminate the Commitments, or from time to time reduce the Commitments; provided that (x) each such notice shall be in writing and must be received by the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective
date of such termination or reduction, (y) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and (z) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the Advances Outstanding would exceed the total Commitments; provided that (1) the Borrower may not terminate or reduce the Commitments in whole or in part prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and
(2) on and after the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower may not terminate or reduce the Commitments in whole or in part unless the Borrower pays a commitment
termination or reduction fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Commitments being terminated or reduced. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.04(e). Upon any reduction of Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s ratable share of the amount of such reduction. 

SECTION 2.05 Interest and Fees. 
 (a) The
Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Advances at a rate per annum equal to 5.75%. Interest is payable on each Payment Date as and to the extent provided in Section 2.08. If accrued and unpaid interest is
not paid in full on a Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay additional interest on such accrued and unpaid interest at the same rate per annum as the Borrower pays on the Advances, such additional interest being payable on each Payment Date as and to
the extent provided in Section 2.08. 
 (b) If any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate. Upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or (d) exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all Advances outstanding hereunder at the Default Rate. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees,
charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lenders holding such Advance in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Advance but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 2.05(c) shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to
such Lender in respect of other Advance or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that
exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Advance or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such
Advance exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate. 

  
 -26- 

 (d) During the Availability Period, for any day on which the Advance Outstanding on the
applicable day is less than 75% of the aggregate Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall pay an unused commitment fee (an “Unused Commitment Fee”) on the unused amount of the aggregate Commitment at such time, if any, which
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.50%. Accrued Unused Commitment Fees are payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, as provided in Section 2.08. All Unused
Commitment Fees are fully earned and nonrefundable upon payment. 
 (e) The Borrower shall pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the
term and conditions provided therein. 
 (f) All computations of interest and 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. 
 SECTION 2.06 Payments and Computations, Etc. 

(a) All amounts to be paid or applied by the Facility Servicer from amounts received on the Portfolio Assets in the applicable Collection

the United States in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Facility Servicer. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at any time
such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower, the Facility Servicer or any other Person for any reason. 

(b) Other than as otherwise set forth herein, 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 is reflected in the computation of interest and fees. 

(c) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative
Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (ii) each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 8.08(a). The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall take commercially reasonable steps to confirm that only funds
constituting Collections relating to Portfolio Assets are deposited into the Collection Account. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the fact that
Excluded Amounts (other than items described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition thereof) are part of the Collateral Portfolio and constitute Portfolio Assets, prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control by
the Administrative Agent to the Facility Servicer and Account Bank in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement, the Facility Servicer may (on behalf of the Borrower and at the direction of the Portfolio Asset Servicer) withdraw
from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Portfolio Asset Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal, identified to the Facility Servicer such Excluded Amounts and deliver such Excluded Amounts to the Borrower
or as the Borrower may direct. After the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control in accordance with the terms of the Account Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent, upon written direction from the Majority Lenders, may withdraw from the

 -33- 

 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of

of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a
Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date that is not less than ten days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine
months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

SECTION 2.13 Taxes. 
 (a) All payments
made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including by the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or
on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) to be deducted and withheld from any such payments, then the
applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an
Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable by the Borrower will be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.13) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may be a withholding agent. 

  
 -34- 

 (b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes

deducted or withheld from payments to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All
payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower, with a copy to the Facility Servicer. 

(d) Within 15 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or, at the direction of the Borrower, by the Facility Servicer from the
Collection Account on behalf of the Borrower (to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account) to the applicable Governmental Authority of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, as
applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (to the extent received by the
Facility Servicer or the Borrower, as applicable), a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders). For the avoidance
of doubt, in no case or circumstance is the Facility Servicer liable to pay any Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, and if it pays any such amounts, it will solely be on behalf of the Borrower, from the Collection Account to the extent amounts are
available therein. 
 (e) 

(i) 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 Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of whichever (if any) of the following is applicable for claiming

tax treaty), W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI or (ii) 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 F to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code (a “Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, in each case (A) with any required attachments (including, with respect to any Lender that provides an U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, any of the forms or other documentation
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above for any of the direct or indirect owners of such Lender) and (B) any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto. In addition, each Lender (including any assignee thereof)
that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise

  
 -35- 

 establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each
Lender on or about the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 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. 

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (iii) The Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date, and any successor
Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date any such successor Administrative Agent is appointed successor to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.05, in each case shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of an IRS Form W-9,
properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. 

(f) 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 Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent 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 subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(g) If any party hereto determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it
was indemnified by the Borrower, or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13) or with respect
to which the Borrower or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, it shall pay to the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, an amount equal 

  
 -36- 

 
to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including additional Taxes, if any) of such party, 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). The Borrower,
upon the request of such party, shall repay to such party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such party
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not
been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (h) Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.13 survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Custodian, any assignment of rights by or replacement of any Lender, the termination of Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document or termination of this Agreement. 

(i) The Borrower hereby covenants with the Administrative Agent that the Borrower will provide the Administrative Agent with information
available to the Borrower so as to enable the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not the Administrative Agent is obliged to make any withholding, including FATCA Withholding Tax, in respect of any payments with respect to an Advance (and
if applicable, to provide the necessary detailed information to effectuate any withholding, including FATCA Withholding Tax, such as setting forth applicable amounts to be withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, the term ‘applicable law’
for purposes of this Section 2.13(i) includes U.S. federal tax law and FATCA. Upon request from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will provide such additional information that the Borrower may have to assist the Administrative Agent
in making any withholdings or informational reports. 
 (j) If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States of America
or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender under this Agreement (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly
executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify promptly
the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid by the Administrative Agent, directly or indirectly, as Tax or otherwise, together with all reasonable expenses incurred. 

(k) The Lenders and any transferees or assignees thereof after the Closing Date will be required to provide to the Administrative Agent or its
agents all information, documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to permit the Administrative Agent to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable laws, including any applicable cost basis
reporting obligations.

 then the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, or the Majority Lenders may,
in each case, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Maturity Date to have occurred; provided that, in the case of any event described in Section 6.01(d), the Maturity Date is deemed to have occurred automatically upon the
occurrence of such event. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, or the Majority Lenders may declare the Advances to be immediately
due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) and any other Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided that, in the case of any event described
in Section 6.01(d), the Advances and other Obligations become immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) without the need of any notice
to the Borrower upon the occurrence of such event and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, instruct the Account Bank to distribute all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as described in
Section 2.08(c) (provided that the Borrower shall in any event remain liable to pay such Advances and all such amounts and Obligations immediately in accordance with Section 2.08(c)). In addition, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise,

 SECTION
6.02 Pledged Equity. 
 (a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.02(b) or 6.02(c): 

(i) Holdings shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of
Pledged Equity or any part thereof and Holdings agrees that it shall exercise such rights for purposes not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 

(ii) Holdings shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends and other distributions paid on or distributed in
respect of the Pledged Equity (without any obligation to contribute such amounts to the Collection Account), to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends and other distributions are not prohibited by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; provided that any noncash dividends or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity, shall be and become part of the Pledged Equity, and, if received by Holdings, shall not be commingled by Holdings with any of its
other property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and Holdings shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure the validity,
perfection and priority (subject to Permitted Liens), including promptly delivering the same to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with Holdings with respect to making exchanges of Pledged Equity in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Equity not prohibited by this
Agreement, which such cooperation shall include delivery of any such Pledged Equity in exchange for replacement Pledged Equity. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any costs or expenses incurred
due to the provisions of this Section 6.02(a)(ii). 

  
 -57- 

 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after the
delivery of notice to Holdings) or upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6.01(d) (without notice), all rights of Holdings to dividends or other distributions that Holdings is authorized to receive pursuant to
Section 6.02(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends or other distributions during
the continuance of an Event of Default. All dividends or other distributions received by Holdings contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.02(b) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated
from other property or funds of Holdings and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other
property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02(b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in the Collection Account and shall be applied in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. After all Events of Default have been waived or are no longer continuing, the Administrative Agent, upon written direction from the Majority Lenders, shall promptly repay to Holdings (without interest) all dividends or other
distributions that Holdings would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of Section 6.02(a)(ii) and that remain in such account. 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after the delivery of notice to Holdings) or upon the occurrence
of any event described in Section 6.01(d) (without notice), then (i) all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i) shall cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders;
provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit Holdings to exercise such rights and (ii) in
order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder,
Holdings shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. After
all Events of Default have been waived or are no longer continuing, Holdings shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers that Holdings would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of
Section 6.02(a)(i). 
 (d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower under this Section 6.02 shall be
given in writing. 
 SECTION 6.03 Additional Remedies. 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and without limiting the remedies provided in this Article
VI, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or the Pledged Equity at public or private sales and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or
disposition, (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any account, agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting Collateral or Pledged Equity to make any payment required by the terms of such account, agreement, instrument or other
obligation to or at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority 

  
 -58- 

 Lenders), (iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under the Account Control
Agreement or any Custodial and Account Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to Collateral subject thereto, (iv) in accordance with Section 6.02, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee
the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with
respect thereto, including exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof and
(v) in accordance with Section 6.02, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made on any Pledged Equity. 

(b) Any Collateral or Pledged Equity to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Article VI may be sold or disposed of in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice upon such terms and conditions, including price, as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity may be made without the Administrative Agent giving warranties of any kind with respect to such sale or
disposition and the Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. The Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable State or federal law requirements in connection with a sale or disposition of the
Collateral or Pledged Equity and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale or disposition. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral or Pledged Equity is required by
law, such notice is deemed commercially reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or disposition. The Administrative Agent has the right upon any public sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity and, to the extent permitted by
law, upon any such private sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Borrower hereby waives.
Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity, the Administrative Agent has the right to deliver and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement (including this Article VI) shall be subject to the special servicing activities
provisions in Section 8.05. 
 ARTICLE VII. 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 7.01
Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, and neither the Borrower nor Holdings shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions
(except Section 7.05(a)). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between contracting parties. 

  
 -59- 

 SECTION 7.02 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction
Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Unmatured Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other

counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law; and

 (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose,
and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or errors in judgment
made (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Article VI and Section 11.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default, Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or event or information, or be required to act upon any default, Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or event or information (including
the sending of any notice) unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice or has actual knowledge of such default, Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or event or information, and shall have no
duty to take any action to determine whether any such event, default, Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred. Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Administrative Agent provided for herein is for
informational purposes only and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such reports (including monthly distribution reports) and any publicly available information, shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents or accuracy of any certificate, report or

to recalculate, certify or verify any information therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Knowledge of the Administrative Agent shall not be attributed or imputed to Wells Fargo’s other roles in the transaction and knowledge
of the Collateral Custodian shall not be attributed or imputed to the Administrative Agent (other than those where the roles are performed by the same group or division within Wells Fargo or otherwise share the same Responsible Officers), or any
affiliate, line of business, or other division of Wells Fargo (and vice versa). 
 (e) Any organization or entity into which the
Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or any organization or
entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Administrative Agent, or of any business line or product type within the corporate trust business of the Administrative Agent, shall be the successor of the
Administrative Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative
Agent, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), including lost profits, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance, or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(g) Before the Administrative Agent acts or refrains from taking any action under this Agreement, it may require an officer’s certificate
or an opinion of counsel (which may come from internal counsel) from the party requesting that the Administrative Agent act or refrain from acting in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such officer’s certificates or opinions of counsel. 

(h) The Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in
the performance of any of its duties, or the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 
 (i) The Administrative Agent shall incur no
liability if, by reason of any provision of any future law or regulation thereunder, or by any force majeure event, including but not limited to natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control, the
Administrative Agent shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion
provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 

  
 -61- 

 (j) The right of the Administrative Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty. 
 (k) The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for, and makes no representation or warranty as to, the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency or adequacy of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any related document, or as to the correctness of any statement
contained in any thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as the statements of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for the Borrower’s use of the Advances or any
money paid to the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Borrower in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document. 

(l) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction of the Borrower, Holdings, the Lenders, the Collateral Custodian,
the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or any other party (or agent thereof) to this Agreement or any related document and may assume compliance by such parties with their obligations under this Agreement or any related agreements,
unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 11.02. 

(m) The rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded the Administrative Agent hereunder shall extend to the
Administrative Agent (in any of its capacities) under any other Transaction Document or related agreement as though set forth therein in their entirety mutatis mutandis. 

SECTION 7.03 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall not incur any liability
for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, opinion, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower
or Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or experts. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by any Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Transaction Document in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders
or, if provided in this Agreement, in accordance with the instructions given by the Majority Lenders or all Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such
instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 7.04 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more agents, sub-agents, affiliates or attorneys appointed by the Administrative Agent. The 

  
 -62- 

 Administrative Agent and any such agents, sub-agent, affiliates or attorneys may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such party and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such party. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the supervision, negligence or misconduct of any agent, sub-agents or attorney appointed by it with due care. 

SECTION 7.05 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and no such consent being required when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing); provided that in no event shall any such successor be a Competitor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance
with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 
 (b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (ii) except for any fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent
(other than any rights to fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction
Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 11.07 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 7.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

  
 -63- 

 SECTION 7.07 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay
any amount required under Article X or Section 11.07 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share
at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be,
was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such
capacity. The obligations of the Lenders to make payments pursuant to this Section 7.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of
its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its payment under this Section 7.07. 

SECTION 7.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or Holdings, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 11.07) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.07. 

  
 -64- 

 SECTION 7.09 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (i) as provided in Section 2.11 or (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this
Section 7.09, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Facility Servicer such documents as the Facility Servicer may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from
the assignment and security interest granted under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this Section 7.09. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding
the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents, the existence, priority, creation, validity, enforceability or perfection of the Administrative
Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower or the Facility Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to
monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or the Lien thereon. 
 (c) It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent
(i) shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of whether any Pledged Equity is certificated or uncertificated and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall only be responsible for holding Pledged Equity to the extent
actually received. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall monitor any UCC financing statements filed by the Initial Lender in connection with
this Agreement solely to the extent that the Initial Lender provides such financial statements to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders when the time-period to file continuation statements for such financing
statements has commenced and at least 60 days prior to the date such financing statements would terminate; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability or obligation to file any such continuation statements. The
Administrative Agent shall have no other duty to see to, or be responsible for the correctness or accuracy of, any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein, or any financing statement or continuation
statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refilling or re-depositing of any thereof.

continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) in writing or, if no such
date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (upon direction of the Majority Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by such Applicable Servicer and the Administrative Agent (upon
direction of the Majority Lenders). If such Applicable Servicer is the Facility Servicer, such Applicable Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, the Facility Servicing
Fees accrued until such termination date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Facility Servicer Fee Letter (collectively, the “Servicer Termination
Expenses”). To the extent amounts held in the Collection Account and paid in accordance with Section 2.08 are insufficient to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses, Borrower (and to the extent Borrower fails to so pay, the
Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share) agree to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. On the termination date specified in this Section 8.01(b), such Applicable Servicer agrees
that it will terminate its activities as Facility Servicer or Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, if no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing at such time, the Borrower, believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a Replacement Servicer, and the Replacement Servicer shall assume each and all of such Applicable Servicer’s obligations
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and such Applicable Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Replacement Servicer in assuming such
obligations. 
 (c) Appointment of Replacement Servicer. At any time following the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice or
receipt of any notice of resignation under Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall, with the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such
consent not being required if an Event of Default has 

  
 -66- 

 occurred and is continuing), appoint a new servicer (the “Replacement Servicer”), which
appointment shall take effect upon the Replacement Servicer accepting such appointment by a written assumption in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, if no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at such time, Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any Replacement Servicer shall be an established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of assets similar to the Collateral Portfolio; provided that in no event shall any such Replacement Servicer be a Competitor. 

(d) Liabilities and Obligations of Replacement Servicer. Upon its appointment, any Replacement Servicer shall be the successor in all
respects to such Applicable Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such Applicable Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and all references in this Agreement to such Applicable Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Servicer; provided that any Replacement Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the
prior Applicable Servicer prior to the date that the Replacement Servicer becomes the successor to such Applicable Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the prior Applicable Servicer, (ii) no
obligation with respect to any Taxes on behalf of Borrower, except for any payment made out of the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.13, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the
transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any prior Applicable Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Applicable Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Replacement Servicer upon
becoming an Applicable Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, or the failure to perform materially in accordance with its duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement. 

(e) Authority and Power. All authority and power granted to an Applicable Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and
terminate on the Facility Termination Date and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower thereafter. Each Applicable Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of each Applicable
Servicer to conduct servicing of this Agreement (including the right to direct remittances out of the Collection Accounts). 
 (f)
Subcontracts. The Facility Servicer may subcontract with any other Person for servicing and administering in respect of the payments to the Borrower or Portfolio Asset Servicer under the Collateral Portfolio that are to be Collections under
this Agreement; provided that (A) the Facility Servicer shall select any such Person with reasonable care and shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses payable to any such Person, (B) the Facility Servicer shall not be
relieved of, and shall remain liable for, the performance of the duties and obligations of the Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof without regard to any subcontracting arrangement and (C) any such subcontract shall be terminable upon
the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event. The Facility Servicer shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care. 

SECTION 8.02 Duties of the Portfolio Asset Servicer. 

(a) Duties. The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service,

Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral Portfolio, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Borrower hereunder. 

SECTION 8.03 Duties of the Facility Servicer.

Servicer requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Facility Servicer does not receive a response (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such
request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. 
 (c) The Facility Servicer shall not be

by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person, or to inquire as to or verify the veracity of any information or statement made or contained therein. The Facility Servicer also may rely upon any
statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Transaction Document, the

the Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.04 Authorization of the Portfolio Asset Servicer. 

(a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Portfolio Asset Servicer (including any successor
thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Portfolio Asset Servicer and not inconsistent with the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, to collect all amounts due under the Collateral Portfolio, including endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral Portfolio and, after the delinquency of any Portfolio Asset, and to the extent permitted under and in
compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Portfolio Asset Servicer (and any successors thereto)
with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Portfolio Asset Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Portfolio Asset Servicer to the fullest
extent in order to facilitate the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio. In no event shall the Portfolio Asset Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 (at the direction of the Majority Lenders)
consent. In the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall not be obligated to take, or to refrain from taking, any action which the Borrower or any Lender requests that the Portfolio Asset Servicer take or refrain
from taking to the extent that the Portfolio Asset Servicer determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that such action or inaction (i) may cause a violation of applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or
restrictive covenants with respect to any Portfolio Asset, the Borrower or any Obligor, (ii) may cause a violation of any provision of this Agreement, a Fee Letter or a Required Portfolio Document or any other Transaction Document or
(iii) may be a violation of the Servicing Standard. 
 (b) After the Maturity Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting
at the direction of the Majority Lenders), the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Portfolio Assets; provided that the Administrative Agent
may (at the direction of the Majority Lenders), at any time that an Event of Default 

  
 -71- 

 has occurred and is continuing, notify the Obligor, agent, administrative agent, Counterparty Lender,
Underlying Agent or Underlying Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Portfolio Asset of the assignment of such Portfolio Asset to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or
to become due thereunder 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
(acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may enforce collection of any such Portfolio Asset, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. Upon the written request of the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower shall furnish the Facility Servicer and Administrative Agent, as applicable, with an appropriate power of attorney to send (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) notification forms to the Obligors or any agent, administrative agent,
Counterparty Lender, Underlying Agent, Underlying Servicer or issuer of a Portfolio Asset of the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the
direction of the Majority Lenders). 
 SECTION 8.05 Collection of Payments; Accounts. 

(a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral Portfolio. The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
collect or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Portfolio Assets included in the Collateral Portfolio as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Portfolio Asset
Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of a Portfolio Asset in any manner contrary to the Servicing Standard. If the Portfolio Asset Servicer does not receive from the related Underlying Servicer, Counterparty Lender or
Obligor the payments to be paid to Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer as Collections on the date when such payments are scheduled to be made (to the extent the Portfolio Asset Servicer has received such payment information from the Underlying
Servicer), the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall promptly notify Borrower and such Underlying Servicer, Counterparty Lender or Obligor. 
 (b)
Collection Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the Collection Account is intended to be a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) only the Administrative Agent and the Facility
Servicer shall be entitled to exercise the rights with respect to the Collection Account and have the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.08. Each of the parties hereto hereby
agrees to cause the Account Bank to agree with the parties hereto that 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
jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC). 
 (c) Loan and Participation Agreements. Notwithstanding any term
hereof to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower of, or the grant of a security interest by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent in, any Portfolio Asset 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 Participation Agreements, or otherwise to
examine the Loan Agreements and Participation Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any
instrument delivered to it evidencing any Portfolio Asset granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 -72- 

 (d) Adjustments. If (i) the Portfolio Asset Servicer makes a deposit into the
Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Portfolio Asset and such Collection was received by the Portfolio Asset Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Portfolio Asset Servicer makes a mistake
with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Portfolio Asset 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. 

SECTION 8.06 Realization Upon Portfolio Assets. 

(a) Consistent with the applicable Loan Agreement or Participation Agreement, the Portfolio Asset Servicer will monitor efforts of each
Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer with respect to any Eligible Portfolio Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and any analysis by such Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer
proposing a course of action to maximize value with respect to any related Underlying Collateral, including whether to hold for value, sell or transfer any equity or other securities it has received in connection with a default, workout,
restructuring or plan of reorganization with respect to the related Underlying Loan Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Portfolio Asset Servicer will comply with the applicable Loan Agreement and
Participation Agreement and Applicable Law in directing a Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer to realize upon Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures, to direct the related Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer to
enforce the obligations of Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Underlying Collateral at public or private sale. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Facility Servicer shall not take any action with respect to the Collateral Portfolio,
nor shall it be required to take any actions, relating to any special servicing activities (it being understood and agreed that the Facility Servicer shall determine whether any obligations or actions of the Facility Servicer expressly set forth in
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall constitute special servicing activities), except to the extent (i) agreed to between the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Facility Servicer, pursuant to a separate fee letter agreement
and (ii) the parties to such fee agreement agree to address any conflicts presented by such performance of special servicing activities reasonably requested by the Facility Servicer. 

SECTION 8.07 Payment of Certain Expenses. The Borrower (or the Facility Servicer on its behalf to the extent amounts are available in the Collection
Account), shall be required to pay all fees and expenses owing to any financial institution in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The Facility Servicer shall be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder
(including out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.08; provided that, to the extent funds are not available for such
reimbursement, the Facility Servicer shall be entitled to repayment of such expenses from the Borrower and if the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Facility Servicer, the Facility Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Lenders (and each
Lender hereby agrees to so reimburse the Facility Servicer as provided herein) within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

such Portfolio Asset and have no mutilated pages, (C) filed copies of the UCC financing statements and other filings identified on the related Portfolio Asset Checklist are included and (D) if listed on the related Portfolio Asset
Checklist, a copy of an Insurance Policy or insurance certificate with respect to any real or personal property constituting the Underlying Collateral for such Portfolio Asset is included (the items to be reviewed pursuant to this sentence,
collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of a Portfolio Asset File hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Portfolio Asset
Servicer shall provide to the Collateral Custodian a hard copy (which may be proceeded by an electronic copy and separately uploaded by the 

  
 -76- 

 
Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer or its designee to the designated CTSLink.com; provided that each .pdf document will be identified with the loan number in the format
“LoanNumber.DocumentName.pdf” (example, 12345.mortgage.pdf)) of the related Portfolio Asset Checklist which contains the Portfolio Asset information with respect to the Portfolio Asset File being delivered, identification number and the
name of the Obligor with respect to such Portfolio Asset. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Portfolio Asset File shall be limited to the Review Criteria and based on the
information provided on the related Portfolio Asset Checklist. If, at the conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian shall determine that (1) the principal balance of the Portfolio Asset with respect to which it has received the
Portfolio Asset File does not match the principal balance set forth on the Portfolio Asset Schedule, the Collateral Custodian shall notify the Administrative Agent, Initial Lender and the Facility Servicer of such discrepancy within one Business Day
or (2) any other Review Criteria is not satisfied, the Collateral Custodian shall within one Business Day notify the Borrower, Administrative Agent, Initial Lender and the Facility Servicer of such determination and provide the Borrower and
Facility Servicer with a list of the non-complying Portfolio Assets and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Borrower shall have ten Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any
Review Criteria. In addition, if requested in writing by the Borrower or Portfolio Asset Servicer in accordance with Section 9.08 and approved by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) within ten
Business Days of the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return any Portfolio Asset File which fails to satisfy a Review Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian
shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Portfolio Asset File. 
 (ii) In taking and retaining custody of the
Portfolio Asset Files, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided that (A) the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the
existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Portfolio Asset Files or the instruments therein and (B) the Collateral Custodian’s duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein. 

(iii) All Portfolio Asset Files shall be continuously stored in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the locations
specified as the address of the Collateral Custodian on Schedule IV or at such other office as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer and the Borrower by the Collateral Custodian in a written notice delivered at
least 30 days prior to such change. The Collateral Custodian shall segregate the Portfolio Asset Files on its inventory system. 

(iv) On each Reporting Date following the first delivery of Required Portfolio Documents to the Collateral Custodian, the
Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders (in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and the Collateral Custodian)
identifying each Portfolio Asset for which it holds a Portfolio Asset File and the applicable Review Criteria that any Portfolio Asset File fails to satisfy. The Borrower shall have ten Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any
non-compliance with any Review Criteria. 
 (v) The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or obligations other than those
specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. 

  
 -77- 

 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents,
the Collateral 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 Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required
to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. 
  

	(c)	 Collateral Matters. 

(i) The Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer and the Portfolio Asset
Servicer regarding the delivery of any Portfolio Asset File to the Facility Servicer, Portfolio Asset Servicer or Administrative Agent (pursuant to a written request in the form of Exhibit G), as applicable, as requested in order to take any
action that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) or the Facility Servicer 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 any rights arising with respect to Article VI. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Facility
Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer 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. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any
such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action
hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Custodian 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 Custodian, (A) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law
or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (B) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event
the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten 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) The Collateral
Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral
Custodian, or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian 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 Custodian has actual knowledge of
such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian. 

  
 -78- 

 (iv) In performing its duties, the Collateral Custodian shall comply with
the standard of care and express terms of this Agreement with respect to the collateral that it holds hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.03 Merger or
Consolidation. Any Person (a) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party or (c) that may succeed to
the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor
to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.04 Collateral Custodian
Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the Collateral Custodian Fees from the Borrower as set forth on Schedule XI, payable pursuant to the extent of
funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08; provided that if such amounts are insufficient then Sections 9.12 and 11.07 shall be applicable. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to
receive the Collateral Custodian Fees shall cease on the earlier to occur of (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 9.05, (ii) its resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 9.07 of
this Agreement or (iii) the termination of this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to any fees accrued and payable up to such date to the extent not previously paid. 

SECTION 9.05 Collateral Custodian Removal. The Administrative Agent may (upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) terminate all of the rights,
obligations, power and authority of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement by giving at least 30 days advance written notice thereof to the Collateral Custodian, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower (such
notice, the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”). On and after the receipt by the Collateral Custodian of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until the
date specified in the Collateral Custodian Termination Notice (such date not to exceed 30 days after the date of such notice) or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) in writing or, if no such
date is specified in such Collateral Custodian Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative
Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders). Upon any such removal, the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor Collateral Custodian; provided that (i) the consent of the Borrower shall be required to appoint any such successor,
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) in no event shall any such successor Collateral Custodian be a Competitor. If no successor Collateral Custodian shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a
successor Collateral Custodian shall not have been delivered to the Majority Lenders and the Borrower within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian and all fees, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Collateral Custodian, in
connection with any such petition shall be paid or otherwise reimbursed to the Collateral Custodian by Borrower. No such removal shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Collateral Custodian in accordance with this Section 9.05. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, any Fees accrued until such termination
date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and any Fee Letter (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Expenses”). To the extent amounts held in the
Collection Account 

  
 -79- 

 and paid in accordance with Section 2.08 are insufficient to pay the Collateral Custodian
Termination Expenses, the Borrower (and to the extent the Borrower fails to so pay, the Lenders) agree to pay the Collateral Custodian Termination Expenses within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. After the earlier of (a) the
termination date specified in the applicable Collateral Custodian Termination Notice and (b) 30 days thereafter as provided above, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder in a
manner that the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event
of Default) believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a successor Collateral Custodian, and the successor Collateral Custodian shall assume each and all of the Collateral Custodian’s obligations under this
Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and the Collateral Custodian shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the successor Collateral Custodian in assuming such obligations. The cost of shipping any
Loan Asset Files arising out of the removal of the Collateral Custodian shall be an expense of Borrower. With respect to any Electronic Portfolio Asset Files upon the removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian will remove from its
possession and shall delete all Electronic Portfolio Asset Files held in its possession pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with the Collateral Custodian’s customary retention and purging policies and procedures of electronic files and
data. 
 SECTION 9.06 Limitation on Liability. 

(a) The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice,
letter or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected and shall
not be liable in acting upon (in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct) (i) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (ii) the verbal instructions of the Administrative
Agent reasonably believed by the Collateral Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the applicable designated officer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; provided that in the case of any Portfolio
Asset File or other request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance
with the requirements of this Agreement. 
 (b) The Collateral Custodian may consult with counsel selected by it in good faith and with
reasonable care and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in reasonable reliance thereon, in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel and reasonably believed by Collateral Custodian to be authorized or within the discretion of the rights and powers conferred upon it by this Agreement. 

(c) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith,
or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, including, but not limited to, in connection with any requirement to obtain certificated Pledged Equity from Borrower or Holdings,
except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

forth in this Agreement) 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 any Portfolio
Asset File, 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 Portfolio Assets. The Collateral Custodian 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.

is not guaranteeing or overseeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to a Portfolio Asset.

Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of, and continuance of, an Event of Default, request instructions from the Portfolio Asset Servicer and may, after the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, 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 Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian 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 reasonably believed by the Collateral Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
applicable designated office and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for special, indirect punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited
to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(i) It is expressly acknowledged by the parties hereto that application and performance by the Collateral Custodian of its various duties
hereunder shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notice provided to it by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party, and the Collateral Custodian shall have no
responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). 

(j) The parties acknowledge that in accordance with the Customer Identification Program (CIP) requirements under the USA Patriot Act and its
implementing regulations, the Collateral Custodian in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a
relationship or opens an

Custodian with such information as it may request including, but not limited to, the Borrower’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Collateral Custodian to identify and verify the
Borrower’s identity such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.

 (m) The Collateral Custodian shall
have no duty to see to, or be responsible for the correctness or accuracy of, any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement or other similar filing
evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refilling or re-depositing of any thereof. 

(n) The Collateral Custodian shall use the same degree of care and skill as is reasonably expected of financial institutions acting in

(o) The Collateral Custodian may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document by or through any one or more agents, affiliates, sub-agents or attorneys appointed by the Collateral Custodian. The Collateral Custodian and any such agents, affiliate, sub-agent or attorneys may perform any and all of its duties and

vice versa). 
 (s) The Collateral Custodian shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any other party to this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.07 Collateral Custodian Resignation. 

(a) The Collateral Custodian shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon the Collateral
Custodian’s determination that (A) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (B) there is no reasonable action that the Collateral Custodian could take to make the performance of its
duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law or (ii) upon at least 60 days’ prior notice to the other parties hereto. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower and the Initial Lender acting jointly shall appoint a successor Collateral
Custodian (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default); provided that in no event shall any successor Collateral Custodian be a Competitor.
If no successor Collateral Custodian shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Custodian shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Custodian within 45 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian and all fees, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses (including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with any such petition shall be paid (or otherwise reimbursed to the Collateral Custodian) by the Borrower. No such
resignation shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian. 

(b) Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier
termination pursuant to Section 9.05, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any costs, fees and expenses that the Collateral Custodian shall incur in connection with its resignation or with the termination of its
duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the Required Portfolio Documents in the possession of Collateral Custodian to the Administrative Agent or to such Person as the Administrative Agent may designate to Collateral Custodian in

 SECTION 9.08 Release of Documents. 

(a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any Portfolio Asset, the Collateral
Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent), upon written receipt from an Authorized Person of the Portfolio Asset Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form
of Exhibit G, to release to the Portfolio Asset Servicer within two Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Portfolio Asset File or the documents set forth in such request. All documents so released to the Portfolio Asset
Servicer shall be held by the Portfolio Asset Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall return to the
Collateral Custodian such Portfolio Asset File or other such documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) or (ii) when the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s need therefor in
connection with such enforcement or servicing no longer exists, unless the related Portfolio Asset is liquidated, in which case, an Authorized Person of the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall deliver an additional request for release of documents to the
Collateral Custodian and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Portfolio Asset Servicer to the Administrative Agent, all in the form of Exhibit G. All Electronic Portfolio Asset Files in the Collateral Custodian’s possession that
are requested for release pursuant to this section for a permanent reason will be removed and deleted from the Collateral Custodian’s electronic storage facilities in accordance with the Collateral Custodian’s customary retention and
purging policies and procedures of electronic files and data. 
 (b) Limitation on Release. Promptly after delivery to the Collateral
Custodian of any request for release of documents, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent. Any additional Required Portfolio Documents or documents requested to be released by the Portfolio Asset
Servicer may be released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders). The limitations of this Section 9.08(b) shall not apply to the release of Required Portfolio Documents to
the Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to Section 9.08(a). 
 SECTION 9.09 Return of Required Portfolio Documents. The Borrower (or the
Portfolio Asset Servicer on their behalf) may require that the Collateral Custodian return each Portfolio Asset File (a) delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of the Administrative Agent hereunder
pursuant to Section 2.11, in each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian a written request in the form of Exhibit G (signed by the Borrower or Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable) specifying the Portfolio Asset File to
be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for
return executed by the Borrower or Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Portfolio Asset File so requested to the Borrower or Portfolio Asset Servicer. 

SECTION 9.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral Portfolio; Audits of Portfolio Asset Servicer. The Collateral
Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower access to the Portfolio Asset Files and all other documentation regarding the Collateral Portfolio including in such cases
where the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Borrower is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review
such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon two Business 
  

  
 -84- 

 Days prior written request, (b) during normal business hours and (c) subject to the Collateral
Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Periodically on and after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent or Initial Lender may review the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s collection and administration of the Portfolio
Asset Files in order to assess compliance by the Portfolio Asset Servicer with the Servicing Standard, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Portfolio Asset Files in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be
reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.10, from time to time, upon at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Collateral
Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall permit Persons appointed by the Portfolio Asset Servicer or Facility Servicer to conduct, at the expense of the Borrower, a review of the Portfolio Asset Files and all other documentation regarding the
Collateral Portfolio not more than one time per calendar year for such Applicable Servicer. 
 SECTION 9.11 Bailment. The Collateral Custodian agrees
that, with respect to any Portfolio Asset File at any time or times in its possession, the Collateral Custodian is the agent and bailee of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent
not otherwise perfected) the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Portfolio and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC. 

SECTION 9.12 Indemnification of the Collateral Custodian. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Collateral Custodian, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and court costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Custodian in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including those incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought by the
Collateral Custodian to enforce its rights to indemnification, or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Custodian hereunder or thereunder; provided that (a) the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Custodian’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent
jurisdiction and (b) no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders, the Lenders or the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article IX. The
indemnification provided for in this Section 9.12 shall. 
 survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian or the termination of
this Agreement 
 SECTION 9.13 Borrower’s Certification. Solely as between the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower hereby
certifies to the Collateral Custodian that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the review contemplated by Article IX (the “Review”) is a review to be performed by the Collateral Custodian solely for
the purpose of acknowledging receipt of Portfolio Asset Files by the Collateral Custodian from the Borrower. Any custodial certification (the “Certification”) related to such Review prepared by the Collateral Custodian and furnished
to the Borrower is produced solely in connection with this purpose. The Borrower did not engage the Collateral Custodian to perform the Review, produce the Certification or perform any of the services in this Agreement for the purpose of making
findings with respect to the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Portfolio Asset Files provided to the Collateral Custodian by the Borrower for the Review as contemplated by Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act. Given the purpose and
scope of the Collateral Custodian’s services with respect 
  

  
 -85- 

 to the Borrower under this Agreement (including the Review and any Certification) and given the
Borrower’s treatment and use of the Review and Certification, the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian agree that the Collateral Custodian’s Review is not commonly understood in the market to be “due diligence services” for
purposes of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act. The Borrower does not consider the Review and the Certification to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act, and unless the Borrower notifies the
Collateral Custodian to the contrary, the Borrower will not treat the Certification as a “third-party due diligence report” for purposes of Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Custodian
is relying on this certification for purposes of determining that its Review does not constitute “due diligence services” under Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act. 

ARTICLE X.

SECTION 10.01 Indemnities by the Loan Parties. 

(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable
Law, the Loan Parties indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article X), on a joint and
several basis, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
“Indemnified Amounts”), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of (i) this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in respect of the transactions contemplated thereby or
with respect to any of the Collateral, (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (iii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Loan Party, and regardless of whether
any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or (v) any action, claim or suit brought by an Indemnified Party related to the foregoing to enforce its right to indemnification hereunder, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent
(A) resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) in the case of any Indemnified Party other than the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian in their capacities as such, resulting from a dispute between Indemnified Parties. This Section 10.01(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this
Section 10.01 shall be paid by the Loan Parties to the applicable Indemnified Party within 30 days following receipt by the Borrower of such Indemnified Party’s written demand therefor. Any Indemnified Party making a request for
indemnification under this Section 10.01, 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. 
 (c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in
this Section 10.01 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 Loan Parties shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such 
  

  
 -86- 

 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 Loan Parties on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. 
 (d) If a Loan Party has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Section 10.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Loan Parties in an amount equal to the amount it has collected from
others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest. 
 (e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this
Section 10.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Collateral Custodian or the termination or assignment of this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.02 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, 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. 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 unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with
the defense of the Action. Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt 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.

Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part or (ii) any Advance (or portion thereof) or any Note (or any portion thereof) to any Eligible Assignee; provided that unless an Event of Default

in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank (such agreement, a “Liquidity Agreement”), 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) Each Indemnified
Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement. 

  
 -89- 

 (d) Any Lender may at any time (i) without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower
and (ii) without the consent of, but with notice to, the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such

right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 11.01(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirement to provide the forms required by Section 2.13(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(e) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 as if it were an assignee
under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive. 
 (e) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Competitor as of the date (the “Trade
Date”) on which the assigning Lender or participating Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has
provided prior written consent to such assignment or participation, in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Competitor for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt,
with respect to any assignee or Participant that becomes a Competitor after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant and, (y) with respect to
an assignee, the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Competitor. 

(i) If any assignment or participation is made to any Competitor without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation
of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Competitor after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Competitor and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the
Commitment of such Competitor and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Competitor in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Competitor to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Competitor paid to
acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

meetings attended by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any party hereto, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or any other party hereto and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any
action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Competitor will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Competitors consented to such matter, and (y) for
purposes of voting on any a plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws (“Debtor Relief Plan”), each Competitor party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such
Competitor does vote on such Debtor Relief Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code
(or any similar provision in any other Bankruptcy Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code
(or any similar provision in any other Bankruptcy Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

termination of this Agreement.

 (e) The provisions of this
Section 11.08 survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.09 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 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. 

This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by
means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state
enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each
faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, 
  

  
 -93- 

 legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise
verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character
of the writings. 
 SECTION 11.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. 

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the 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 party hereto agrees that service of process may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified in Section 11.02 or at such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in accordance herewith. Nothing in this Section 11.10 shall affect the right of
the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 11.11 Confidentiality. 

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer, and the Collateral Custodian shall
maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), including all Information regarding the business of the Borrower and their respective businesses obtained by it or
them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates, accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other agents,
including 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 Portfolio Assets contemplated herein, and the agents of such Persons, taxing
authorities and governmental agencies (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person is informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (ii) as is
required by Applicable Law, (iii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (iv) when required by any law, regulation, ordinance, court order or subpoena, (v) to the extent the Portfolio Asset Servicer is disseminating general
statistical information relating to the mortgage loans being serviced by the Portfolio Asset Servicer (including the Portfolio Assets) hereunder so long as the Portfolio Asset Servicer does not identify the Borrower, any Lender or the Obligors, or
(vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.11(a), the Borrower may, subject to Applicable Law and the terms of any Loan Agreements, make available copies of the documents in the Portfolio Asset Files and such other
documents it holds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to any of its creditors. 

  
 -94- 

 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower hereby consents to the
disclosure of any Information with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Collateral Custodian by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders,
the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Collateral Custodian to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them provided such Person agrees to hold such information confidential, or (iii) by the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer, and the Collateral Custodian to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Lender or
any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interests in, any Lender, as applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the
confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer, and the Collateral Custodian may disclose any such Information as required pursuant to any law, rule,
regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law). 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all
Information that is or becomes publicly known, (ii) any disclosure authorized by the Borrower or (iii) disclosure of any and all Information that becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Facility Servicer, the
Portfolio Asset Servicer, or the Collateral Custodian on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower who did not acquire such information as a result of a breach of this Section 11.11. 

(d) The parties hereto may disclose the existence of the Agreement (but not the financial terms hereof, including all fees and other pricing
terms), all Events of Default, and priority of payment provisions, in each case except in compliance with this Section 11.11. 
 (e)
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Custodian, the Facility Servicer,
the Portfolio Asset Servicer or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at
the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Article XI shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 11.12
Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall
have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax
structure of the transaction as well as other information, the provisions of this Section 11.12 shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions

Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. Each party shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (if applicable) promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 11.14 Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The headings herein are for purposes of references only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or

exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the
Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that,
if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such
recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. 
 SECTION 11.16 Failure of Borrower to
Perform Certain Obligations. If the Borrower fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under Section 5.01, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to, and in any case, acting at the direction of the
Majority Lenders) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s
demand therefore. 
 SECTION 11.17 Power of Attorney. Each of the Borrower and Holdings irrevocably authorizes (without any obligation to do so) the
Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as its attorney-in-fact to act on its behalf as substantially set forth on Exhibit H to, among other things, perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the
interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, in all cases, acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

	$                        	  	[Date]

 THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”). NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS. 

THIS NOTE IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE
LOAN AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN. 
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RCC Real Estate SPE 9 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to [            ] (“Lender”) and its registered assigns, the principal sum of
$            or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate advances (the “Advances”) made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Loan and
Servicing Agreement (as defined below), on the dates specified in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by Lender from the date of such Advance for each day that such unpaid
principal amount is outstanding, at such interest rates 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 Note (the “Note”) is issued pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 31, 2020 (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan and Servicing Agreement”), among the Borrower, RCC Real Estate SPE Holdings LLC, as Holdings, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as Administrative Agent, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, as the Facility Servicer, ACRES Capital Servicing LLC, as the Portfolio Asset Servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral
Custodian. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received
or reserved by the Lender in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the
interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Advance but were not paid as a result of the operation of this paragraph shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to the Lender in respect of such Advance or periods
shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by the Lender. Any amount collected by the Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum
Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Advance or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Advance exceed the maximum amount collectible at the
Maximum Rate. 

  
 Ex. A-1 

 Payments of the principal of, and interest on, the Advances shall be made by or on behalf of
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) in immediately available funds in the manner specified for such purpose as provided in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, 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
is extended to the next succeeding Business Day. 
 If any amount is not paid when due, such amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon
demand, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 

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. 
 The
Lender 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. 
 The Advances are secured by the Collateral and the Pledged Equity granted pursuant to the
Loan and Servicing Agreement. The Lender is entitled to the benefits of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the
terms of the Loan and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In accordance with the terms of the Loan and Servicing Agreement, if an Event of Default exists, 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 Lender, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian 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 and the Pledged Equity and the 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 “Note” as
referred to in Section 2.03(a) 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.

FORM OF CUSTODIAL AND ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

 Ex. J-1 

 CUSTODIAL AND ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT 

THIS CUSTODIAL AND ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of
                    , 2020, is entered into among RCC REAL ESTATE SPE 9 LLC (the “Owner”), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as administrative agent, as secured party (in such capacity, the “Secured Party”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as securities custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”).

 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Owner has acquired or will acquire, from time to time, certain [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF ASSETS TO BE DELIVERED] (the
“Assets”) and desires to deposit the Assets with the Custodian to hold on the Owner’s behalf and to direct the Custodian with respect to the transfer and release thereof subject to the terms hereof; and 

WHEREAS, the Owner and the Secured Party have entered into the Loan and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 31, 2020 (the “Loan
and Servicing Agreement”), among RCC Real Estate SPE Holdings LLC, the Owner, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, the Secured Party, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company,
as the facility servicer, Acres Capital Servicing LLC, as the portfolio asset servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral custodian, pursuant to which, among other things, a security interest in the Assets and the Account
(defined below) has been granted to the Secured Party on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Loan and Servicing Agreement). 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. (a) The Owner hereby appoints the Custodian as custodian of the Assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Custodian
accepts such appointment. The Custodian hereby agrees to accept the Assets delivered to the Custodian by the Owner pursuant to the terms hereof, and agrees to hold, release and transfer the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
The Custodian’s services hereunder shall be conducted through its Corporate Trust Services division (including, as applicable, any agents or Affiliates utilized thereby). There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Owner with the
Custodian a non-interest bearing securities account which will be designated the “RCC Real Estate SPE 9 LLC-Custodial Account” (referred to herein as the “Custody Account”) and into which the Assets shall be held and which
shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Custodian may establish any number of subaccounts to the Custody Account deemed necessary or appropriate by the Custodian and Owner in administering
the Custody Account (each such subaccount, a “Subaccount” and collectively with the Custody Account, the “Account”). All Assets to be delivered in physical form to the Custodian shall be delivered to the address set
forth in Section 12 hereof and all Assets to be delivered in book-entry form to the Custodian shall be delivered in accordance with delivery instructions separately provided by the Custodian. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any other
assets of the Owner held or received by the Owner or others or any assets not delivered to Custodian as set forth herein and accepted by the Custodian as hereinafter provided. The Custodian shall have no obligation to accept or hold any security or
other asset pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the extent it reasonably determines that such security or asset does not fall within the definition of “Asset” or holding such security or asset would violate any law, rule, regulation
or internal policy applicable to the Custodian. For the avoidance of doubt, other than delivery of the physical certificate in the possession of the Custodian to the Owner, the Custodian shall 

 have no obligations in connection with the transfer or re-registration of any physical certificates
representing Assets in connection with any transfer thereof and the Owner shall be responsible for all aspects of transferring re-registering such Assets. Assets or proceeds thereof shall be withdrawn from and credited to the Account only upon
Proper Instructions pursuant to Section 4 hereof. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Account (including income, if any, earned on
the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by the Owner, for federal income tax purposes. Such Owner is required to provide to the Custodian (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing Date, and
(ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Custodian as may be necessary (i) to
reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (ii) to permit Custodian to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Account or any amounts paid to Owner. If any IRS form or other
documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Owner shall timely provide to the Custodian accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Custodian, shall have no liability to Owner or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Account pursuant to applicable law arising from
Owner’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to
such Account absent the Custodian having first received (i) the requisite Proper Instructions, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph. 

(c) The Custodian hereby agrees that (i) the Account is a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a)
of the UCC, (ii) each Asset and each other item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash), credited to the Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of
Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC, (iii) subject to Section 4, the Custodian shall treat the Secured Party as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to the Account and (iv) subject to
Section 4, the Custodian will comply with the “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) (an “Entitlement Order”) of the Secured Party without the further consent of the Owner or any
other person. 
 (d) Nothing in this Agreement affects the obligations of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as
Collateral Custodian under, and as defined in, the Loan and Servicing Agreement. 
 2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
receipt of any cash distributions attributable to the Assets, until such time as the Custodian otherwise receives a Proper Instruction from the Secured Party to the contrary, the Custodian is hereby instructed (such instruction a Proper Instruction
hereunder) to remit such amounts pursuant to the following wire instructions:

 2 

 The Custodian shall not invest immediately available funds held hereunder in the absence of
Proper Instructions from the Secured Party (acting solely at the direction of the Majority Lenders (as defined in the Loan and Servicing Agreement)) or from the Owner as consented to by the Secured Party (acting solely at the direction of the
Majority Lenders) and shall not be liable for not investing or reinvesting funds in accordance with this Agreement in the absence of such Proper Instructions. In connection with investments of available cash pursuant to Proper Instructions described
above, the Custodian may without liability use a broker-dealer of its own selection, including a broker-dealer owned by or affiliated with the Custodian or any of its affiliates. The Custodian is not responsible for the assets of the Owner which
have been placed in accounts with brokers, prime brokers, counterparties, futures commission merchants and other intermediaries. The Custodian or any of its affiliates may receive reasonable compensation with respect to any such investment. It is
expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the Custodian shall not in any way whatsoever be liable for losses on any investments, including, but not limited to, losses from market risks due to premature liquidation or resulting from
other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event the Custodian receives instructions from the Owner to effect a securities
transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.1, the Owner acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive the notification from the Custodian after the completion of such transaction as contemplated in
12 CFR 12.4(a) or (b). The Owner agrees that, absent specific request, such notifications shall not be provided by the Custodian hereunder, and in lieu of such notifications, the Custodian shall make available periodic account statements in the
manner required by this Agreement 
 3. The Custodian shall only act pursuant to Proper Instructions with regard to (a) the exercise of
any rights or remedies with respect to the Assets, including, without limitation, waivers and voting rights, and (b) taking any other action in connection with the Assets, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, conversion,
redemption, exchange, retention or other transaction relating to the Assets. In the absence of any instructions provided to the Custodian by the Owner, the Custodian shall have no obligation to take any action with respect to the Assets.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Custodian be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any person on behalf of the Owner. 

4. The Custodian shall hold the Assets in safekeeping and shall release and transfer same only in accordance with Proper Instructions.
“Proper Instructions” shall mean: 
  

	 	(i)	 in all instances and at any time, written instructions or cabled, telexed, facsimile or electronically
transmitted instructions in respect of any of the matters referred to in this Agreement purported to be signed (except in the case of electronically transmitted instructions) by one or more persons duly authorized to sign on behalf of the Secured
Party as set forth in the Authorized Signers List of Secured Party on Exhibit A hereto (each such person, an “Authorized Signer of the Secured Party”). All electronically transmitted instructions, including by email or facsimile,
received from or on behalf of any Authorized Signer of the Secured Party, or any email or facsimile received from another individual on behalf of the Secured Party in which any Authorized Signers of the Secured Party are also identified as copied,
shall constitute Proper Instructions of the Secured Party; and 

  
 3 

	 	(ii)	 in the case of (a) the investment or reinvestrment of funds held hereunder in accordance with
Section 2 hereof (with the consent of the Secured Party (acting solely at the direction of the Majority Lenders) as described thereby) and (b) the furnishing of reports described in Section 5 hereof, written instructions or cabled,
telexed, facsimile or electronically transmitted instructions in respect of any of the matters referred to in this Agreement purported to be signed (except in the case of electronically transmitted instructions) by one or more persons duly
authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner as set forth in the Authorized Signers List of Owner on Exhibit B hereto (each such person, an “Authorized Signer of Owner”). All electronically transmitted instructions, including by email
or facsimile, received from or on behalf of any Authorized Signer of the Owner, or any email or facsimile received from another individual on behalf of the Owner in which any Authorized Signers of the Owner are also identified as copied, shall
constitute Proper Instructions of the Owner. 

 In addition, Proper Instructions may include instructions and directions
given by electronic transmission administered by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT Messaging”), as well as certain other electronically transmitted instructions, such as FTP or other online portal. The
Owner understands that the Custodian cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of Proper Instructions sent by SWIFT Messaging and such other methods of electronically transmitted instructions, and agrees that the Custodian may conclusively
presume that such directions have been sent by an Authorized Signer. The Owner shall assure that only Authorized Signers shall transmit Proper Instructions from the Owner to the Custodian and shall safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable
user and authorization codes, passwords, and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Owner. The Custodian shall not be liable for any losses, costs, or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Custodian’s reliance upon and compliance
with such instructions or directions given by SWIFT Messaging or any other electronically transmitted instructions for which the identity of the actual sender cannot be identified, including but not limited to any overdrafts. The Owner shall assume
all risks arising out of the use of SWIFT Messaging and any other electronic transmission methods to submit instructions and directions to the Custodian, including without limitation the risk of the Custodian acting on unauthorized instructions and
the risk of interception and misuse by third parties, shall fully inform itself of the protections and risks associated with transmitting instructions and directions to the Custodian by SWIFT Messaging and other electronic transmission methods. The
Owner acknowledges that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions and directions than SWIFT Messaging and other electronic messaging. 

5. The Custodian shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement with respect to the
Assets and the Custodian shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth herein so long as it acts in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Custodian may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on
any written notice, request, waiver, consent or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Custodian shall have no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of
any event or contingency, and it is agreed that its duties are purely ministerial in nature. The Custodian may consult with and obtain advice from legal counsel as to any provision hereof or its duties hereunder and shall not be liable for action
taken or omitted by it in good faith and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
The Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized hereby, except for actions arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian. The Custodian
shall have no liability for loss arising from any cause beyond its control, including but not limited to, the act, failure or neglect of any agent or correspondent selected with due care by the Custodian, any delay, error, omission or default of any
mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator; or the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event
shall the Custodian be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits). 

  
 4 

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties and the Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility and, accordingly, shall have no duty to, or liability for its failure to,
provide investment recommendations or investment advice to the parties hereto. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Custodian shall never be required to use, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder. The Custodian may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or, by or through affiliates, agents
or attorneys, and the Custodian shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any non-affiliated agent or attorney appointed hereunder with due care by it. 

The Custodian is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of this
Agreement or any part hereof (except with respect to the Custodian’s obligations hereunder) or for the transaction or transactions requiring or underlying the execution of this Agreement, the form or execution hereof or for the identity or
authority of any person executing this Agreement or any part hereof (except with respect to the Custodian) or depositing the Assets. The Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder unless written notice thereof
is received by the Custodian. It is expressly acknowledged by the Owner that application and performance by the Custodian of its various duties hereunder may be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notice provided to it by the
Owner and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Assets, and the Custodian shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update
its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). The Custodian shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of, or any inaccuracies in the records of, the Owner or any clearing agency or depository or any other Person and without limiting
the foregoing, the Custodian shall not be under any obligation to monitor, evaluate or verify compliance by the Owner or any other Person with any agreement or applicable law. 

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Owner agrees that the Custodian shall not have nor shall
be implied to have any duties with respect to furnishing reports of the Owner or other information as contemplated by the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 (the “Act”) or Rule 206(4)-2 under the Act, and the Custodian shall only be
obligated to furnish information to the Owner or to any third party to the extent directed by the Owner pursuant to Proper Instructions as set forth in this Agreement and agreed to by the Custodian, or as the Owner and Custodian may otherwise agree.

 6. The Owner agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Custodian, its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively,
“Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, demands, expenses, costs, causes of action, judgments or liabilities that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person arising directly or indirectly
out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the reasonable legal costs and expenses as such expenses are incurred (including, without limitation, the expenses of any experts, counsel or agents) of (a) investigating, preparing for or
defending itself against any action , claim or liability in connection with its performance hereunder or thereunder or (b) the enforcement of the indemnification obligations hereunder. The Owner also hereby agrees to hold the Custodian harmless
from any liability or loss resulting from any taxes or other governmental charges, and any expense related thereto, which may be imposed, or assessed with respect to any Assets in the Account and also agrees to hold the Custodian and its respective
nominees harmless from any liability as record holder of Assets in the Account. The Owner may remit payment for expenses and indemnities owed to the Custodian hereunder or, in the absence thereof, the Custodian may from time to time deduct payment
of such amounts from the Account. In no event, however, shall the Owner be obligated to indemnify any 

  
 5 

 Indemnified Person and hold any Indemnified Person harmless if a court of competent jurisdiction determines,
on a judgment not subject to appeal, that such losses, claims, damages, demands, expenses, costs, causes of action, judgments or liabilities were incurred by any Indemnified Person as a result of its own bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 7. The Custodian shall be entitled to be paid
by the Owner a fee as compensation for its services as set forth in the separate Fee Letter (the “Fee Letter”) agreed to by the parties hereto. Except as otherwise noted, this fee covers account acceptance, set up and termination
expenses, plus usual and customary related administrative services such as safekeeping, investment, collection and distribution of assets, including normal record-keeping/reporting requirements. Any additional services beyond those specified in this
Agreement, or activities requiring excessive administrator time or out-of-pocket expenses, shall be performed only after reasonable prior notice is given to the Custodian by the Owner and shall be deemed extraordinary expenses for which related
costs, transaction charges and additional fees will be billed at the Custodian’s standard charges for such items. The Owner agrees to pay or reimburse the Custodian for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred, and any disbursements and advances made, in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of this Agreement, or in connection with or pursuant to consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, or the administration of this Agreement or performance by the Custodian of its duties and services under this Agreement. 

8. The Owner hereby grants to the Custodian a lien on all Assets for all indebtedness that may become owing to the Custodian hereunder, which
lien may be enforced by the Custodian by set-off or appropriate foreclosure proceedings. In this regard, if the Owner is unwilling or unable to pay the Custodian any amounts due hereunder or to indemnify any indemnified party hereunder, the
Custodian may, in its sole discretion, withdraw any cash in the account, or, if insufficient, liquidate a portion of the Assets, and the Custodian shall use such cash or deduct from such proceeds any fees, expenses and indemnities that it (or any
indemnified party) may be due hereunder. The Owner and Secured Party hereby consent to and authorize such action by the Custodian, and the Custodian shall have no liability for any action taken pursuant to this authorization. The Custodian agrees to
provide Owner and Secured Party with written notice prior to taking any action pursuant to this Section 8. 
 The Custodian
subordinates its lien on the Assets and any right that the Custodian may have or acquire to set off or otherwise apply any Asset against the payment of any liabilities from time to time owing to the Custodian from the Owner hereunder to the security
interest of the Secured Party on behalf of the Secured Parties under, and as defined in, the Loan and Servicing Agreement in the Assets and the Account; provided, however, that the Custodian retains the right to withdraw any cash in the account as
provided in this Section 8. 
 9. The Custodian may at any time resign hereunder by giving written notice of its resignation to the
Owner and the Secured Party at least sixty (60) days prior to the date specified for such resignation to take effect, and upon the effective date of such resignation, the Assets hereunder shall be delivered by it to such person as may be
designated pursuant to Proper Instructions from the Secured Party, whereupon all the Custodian’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. If no such person shall have been designated by such date, all obligations of the Custodian
hereunder shall, nevertheless, cease and terminate. The Custodian’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep safely all Assets then held by it and to deliver the same to a person designated pursuant to Proper Instructions from the
Secured Party or in accordance with the direction of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  
 6 

 The Secured Party or the Owner with the Secured Party’s prior written consent may
remove the Custodian at any time by giving the Custodian at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Custodian as designated by the Secured Party in writing, the Custodian shall either
deliver the Assets then held hereunder to the successor Custodian, less the Custodian’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Custodian, or hold such Assets (or any portion thereof), pending distribution, until all such
fees, costs and expenses or other obligations are paid. Upon delivery of the Assets to successor Custodian, the Custodian shall have no further duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder. 

10. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the
conflict of law principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of any such proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State or Federal court. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest
extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such proceeding. The parties agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 11. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by the
Owner. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the transfer or release of all of the Assets in accordance with the written instructions of the Owner in respect thereto and (b) the transfer by
the Owner of its rights and interests in the Assets. The parties hereto shall not be bound by any modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, recission or supersession of this Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Custodian and the Owner. Any organization or entity into which the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Custodian
shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 
 12. Any delivery of physical Assets or any notices or other communications hereunder
(including Proper Instructions delivered to the Custodian) shall be in writing and given at the addresses stated below, by prepaid first class mail, overnight courier or facsimile.

	 	b.	 The DACA Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties (or in such other name as Administrative Agent (as directed by the Secured Parties) may direct in writing and agreed to by Bank). 

  

	 	c.	 Each account designated as a DACA Account includes, for purposes of this Agreement, and without the necessity
of separately listing subaccount numbers, all subaccounts presently existing or hereafter established for deposit reporting purposes and integrated with the DACA Account by an arrangement in which deposits made through subaccounts are posted only to
the DACA Account. 

  

	 	d.	 The DACA Account shall at all times have a minimum balance of $5,000 (the “Minimum Balance”).

  

	 	e.	 The DACA Account shall be treated and maintained as a “deposit account” within the meaning of
Section 9-102(a)(29) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “NYUCC”) and with respect to which Bank shall be acting as a “bank” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the
NYUCC. The DACA Account is an Eligible Account. As used herein, (i) “Eligible Account” shall mean a separate and identifiable account from all other funds held by the holding institution that is either (a) an account or

are held for more than thirty (30) days, the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “A” by Fitch and S&P and “A2” by Moody’s. 

 

	 	2.	 Administrative Agent’s Interest in DACA Account. Borrower represents that it has granted, or
intends to grant, a security interest in the DACA Account to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Borrower hereby confirms the security interest granted, or to be granted, by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the DACA Account and all sums now or hereafter on deposit in or payable or withdrawable from the DACA Account (the “DACA Account Funds”, which
includes, if applicable, all financial assets, security entitlements, investment property, and other property and the proceeds thereof now or at any time hereafter held in the DACA Account). Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Secured
Parties) hereby appoints Bank as agent for Administrative Agent solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Secured Parties in the DACA Account and the DACA Account Funds. 

 

	 	3.	 Administrative Agent Control. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower agrees
that the DACA Account and the DACA Account Funds are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Administrative Agent acting for the benefit of the Secured Parties (and Facility Servicer as the agent of Administrative Agent). Bank,
Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer and Borrower each agree that Bank will comply with instructions originated by Administrative Agent directing disposition of the funds in the DACA Account (collectively “Disposition
Instructions”) without further consent by Borrower. Except as otherwise required by law, Bank will not agree with any third party to comply with instructions for disposition of funds in the DACA Account. 

The parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 2.07(d), 2.08(a) and 2.08(c) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement,
Administrative Agent has granted to Facility Servicer a revocable right and power to act as Administrative Agent’s representative prior to Administrative Agent’s delivery, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan and
Servicing Agreement, of a written notice of Administrative Agent’s exercise of exclusive control of the DACA Account to Bank, Facility Servicer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower (such notice, the “Notice of
Exclusive Control”) (until such Notice of Exclusive Control is withdrawn), for the purpose of managing and administrating the DACA Account in all respects, including, without limitation, the disposition of funds on deposit in the DACA
Account, making deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom, initiating electronic funds transfers therefrom, obtaining in the ordinary course of business any other bank services then provided by Bank relating thereto, and deleting, adding, or
changing authorized signatories for Facility Servicer, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement, the Account Documentation (as defined below) and the standard policies and procedures of the Bank. Administrative Agent will provide written
notice to Bank of the appointment of any successor Facility Servicer. Until Bank receives, and has had a reasonable opportunity to act upon, a Notice of Exclusive Control from Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer is authorized to act as stated
herein, and Bank is entitled to rely upon such authority. If Facility Servicer resigns as Facility Servicer, Facility Servicer may, with ten (10) days prior written notice to all other parties to this Agreement, withdraw from being a party to
this Agreement. In the event of such withdrawal or in the event the Bank receives, and has had a reasonable opportunity to act upon, a Notice of Exclusive Control from Administrative Agent, the Bank shall comply only with instructions provided by
Administrative Agent, unless and until Administrative Agent provides written notice to Bank of the appointment of any successor Facility Servicer or withdraws such Notice of Exclusive Control, as applicable. 

  
 - 2 - 

	 	4.	 No Access to DACA Account. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) subject to the terms
hereof, neither Borrower nor any other person claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower (other than Facility Servicer) shall have any right, title or interest, whether express or implied, in the DACA Account or to withdraw or make use of any
amounts from the DACA Account and (b) unless required by applicable law, Borrower shall not be entitled to any interest on amounts held in the DACA Account. 

 

	 	5.	 Disbursements from DACA Account. 

 

	 	a.	 (i) Until further written notice from Facility Servicer (or, following delivery of a Notice of Exclusive
Control which has not been withdrawn, Administrative Agent), to the extent that the Disposition Instructions require remittances to Administrative Agent, such remittances shall be wired to: 

 

			
	Bank Name:	  	Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
	ABA Number:	  	121000248
	Account Number:	  	6355067033
	Account Name:	  	CDO Clearing Account
	Reference:	  	FFC: 92078600, RCC Real Estate SPE 9, LLC- Loan and Servicing Agreement
	Attention:	  	Lance Yeagle

  

	 	 	 (ii) Until further written notice from Borrower, to the extent that the Disposition Instructions require
remittances to Borrower, such remittances shall be wired to: 

  

			
	Bank Name:	  	[ ]
	Bank Address:	  	[ ]
	ABA Number:	  	[ ]
	Account Number:	  	[ ]
	Account Name:	  	[ ]
	Reference:	  	[ ]

  

	 	b.	 Facility Servicer (or, following a Notice of Exclusive Control which has not been withdrawn, Administrative
Agent) shall deliver Disposition Instructions to Bank no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of any disbursements of funds held in the DACA Account (collectively, the “Remittance
Date”). Facility Servicer (or, following a Notice of Exclusive Control which has not been withdrawn, Administrative Agent) shall provide Bank with at least one (1) Business Day advance written notice of any change in the Remittance
Date. Any other Disposition Instructions relating to the DACA Account shall be delivered to the Bank no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of any disbursement of funds held therein. The Bank shall have no
obligation to act hereunder in the absence of timely and complete instructions in accordance with this Agreement. Bank agrees that on each Business Day after it receives and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on any Disposition Instructions, it
will transfer to the accounts specified by Facility Servicer (or, following a Notice of Exclusive Control which has not been withdrawn, Administrative Agent), as applicable (the “Destination Accounts”) the full amount of the
collected and available balance in the DACA Account at the beginning of such Business Day (after deduction of the Minimum Balance and other amounts permitted to be deducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof) in accordance with the Disposition
Instructions. The parties hereto agree that Bank may disburse funds to the Destination Accounts in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to standing instructions. Any disposition of funds or assets which Bank makes in response to Disposition
Instructions is subject to Bank’s standard policies, procedures and documentation governing the type of disposition made; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any such disposition require Borrower’s consent.

  
 - 3 - 

	 	c.	 In addition to or in lieu of disbursements by Bank as described above, so long as Borrower and Bank maintain a
currently effective agreement under which Borrower is entitled to use Bank’s Commercial Electronic Office® or other online internet portal operated by Bank to transfer funds from accounts
at Bank to which Borrower has access, Facility Servicer may from time to time make transfers of collected and available funds from the DACA Account to such Destination Accounts as Facility Servicer may determine. Such transfers will be governed by
Bank’s standard Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services or other applicable treasury management services agreement and any applicable service description(s). Further, any such transfer will be deemed an instruction or request of
Facility Servicer for purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 12 and 22.a hereof. 

“Business Day” means any day on which Bank is open to conduct its regular banking business, other than a Saturday, Sunday or
public holiday. 
  

	 	6.	 Partial Subordination of Bank’s Rights. Bank hereby subordinates to the security interest of
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in the DACA Account and the DACA Account Funds (i) any security interest which Bank may have or acquire in the DACA Account and (ii) any right which Bank may have or acquire to set off
or otherwise apply any DACA Account Funds against the payment of any liabilities from time to time owing to Bank from Borrower; provided, however, that, Bank retains the right to set off against and to charge the DACA Account for (A) any Bank
Fees (as defined in Section 9), (B) all items deposited in and credited to such account and subsequently returned unpaid or with respect to which Bank fails to receive final settlement and (C) all items deposited in and credited to
such account in error. If amounts in the DACA Account are insufficient to fully reimburse Bank for such amounts, Borrower agrees to pay such deficiency to Bank in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, within five
(5) Business Days after demand of Bank. 

  

	 	7.	 Bank Obligations with respect to DACA Account. 

 

	 	a.	 The parties agree that items deposited in the DACA Account shall be deemed to bear the valid and legally
binding endorsement of the payee and to comply with all of Bank’s requirements for the supplying of missing endorsements, now or hereafter in effect. As between Borrower, Facility Servicer and Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured
Parties, any deposit made by or on behalf of Borrower into the DACA Account shall be deemed deposited into the DACA Account when the funds in respect of such deposit shall become collected funds. 

 

	 	b.	 Any item deposited by or on behalf of Borrower in the DACA Account which is returned for insufficient or
uncollected funds will be re-deposited by Bank one time. 

  

	 	8.	 Balance Reports and Bank Statements. Borrower agrees that it shall, at its sole cost and expense,
make available to Administrative Agent and Facility Servicer information directly related to the DACA Account, including granting Administrative Agent and Facility Servicer online access to Borrower’s treasury reporting with Bank (if any). Bank
will, at the telephone or written request of Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer, provide Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer, as applicable, such information by a transmission method determined by Bank, in Bank’s sole discretion,
which may include granting Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer, as applicable, online access to Borrower’s treasury reporting (if any), and Borrower consents to the provision of such information to Administrative Agent and Facility
Servicer. 

  

	 	9.	 Bank Fees. Borrower agrees to pay all Bank’s standard and customary fees and charges for the
maintenance and administration of the DACA Account and for the treasury management and other account services provided with respect to the DACA Account (collectively, the “Bank Fees”), including, but not limited to, the fees for
(a) treasury reporting (including online access thereto) provided on the DACA Account, (b) funds transfer services received with respect to the DACA Account, (c) funds advanced to cover overdrafts in the DACA Account (but without Bank
being in any way obligated to make any such advances), (d) duplicate bank statements, (e) any treasury management service(s) that 

  
 - 4 - 

	 	
may be required to block the DACA Account as contemplated hereunder, and (f) the Acceptance Fee and other fees and expenses described in Exhibit A attached hereto, in each case, to
the extent applicable. The Bank Fees will be paid by Bank debiting the DACA Account on the Business Day that the Bank Fees are due, without notice to Administrative Agent or Borrower. If there are not sufficient funds in the DACA Account to cover
fully the Bank Fees on the Business Day Bank attempts to debit them from the DACA Account, such shortfall or the amount of such Bank Fees will be paid by Borrower to Bank, without setoff or counterclaim, within five (5) Business Days after
demand from Bank. 

  

	 	10.	 Account Documentation. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent
and Borrower agree that the DACA Account will be subject to, and Bank’s operation of the DACA Account will be in accordance with, the terms of Bank’s applicable deposit account agreement and other related service documentation governing
the DACA Account (the “Account Documentation”). Borrower agrees, upon Bank’s request, to promptly execute and deliver the Account Documentation to Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
pursuant to the Account Documentation, the DACA Account may be subject to Bank’s sweep product services; provided, that such services are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth herein. The parties agree that, in the event of a
conflict between this Agreement and the Account Documentation with respect to the DACA Account, this Agreement shall control. 

  

	 	11.	 Legal Compliance. 

 

	 	a.	 If Bank at any time receives notice of the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation
proceeding by or against Borrower, Bank will continue to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that any action required of Bank under this Agreement is prohibited under applicable bankruptcy laws or regulations or is
stayed pursuant to the automatic stay imposed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or by order of any court or agency. 

  

	 	b.	 Bank will comply with any legal process, legal notice or court order it receives in relation to the DACA
Account if Bank determines in its sole discretion that the legal process, legal notice or court order is legally binding on it. 

  

	 	c.	 If at any time Bank, in good faith, is in doubt as to the action it should take under this Agreement, Bank
shall have the right (i) to commence an interpleader in the United States District Court in the State of New York, and/or (ii) to take no further action, except, in each case, in accordance with joint instructions from Administrative Agent
(at the direction of the Secured Parties) and Borrower or in accordance with the final order of the court in such action. 

  

	 	12.	 Indemnification. Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and its officers,
directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively
“Losses and Liabilities”) Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with (a) Bank complying with any binding legal process, legal notice or court order referred to in the immediately preceding Section of this
Agreement, (b) Bank following any instruction or request of Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer, including but not limited to any Disposition Instructions, or (c) Bank complying with its obligations under this Agreement, except, in
each case, to the extent such Losses and Liabilities are directly caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  

	 	13.	 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by Administrative Agent or Bank at any time by
either of them giving thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of such termination to the other parties to this Agreement at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement; provided, however, that this
Agreement may be terminated (i) ten (10) Business Days upon prior written notice from Bank to Borrower and Administrative Agent (with a copy to Facility Servicer) (x) should Borrower fail to make any payment when due to Bank from
Borrower under the terms of this Agreement or (y) should Bank close the DACA Account pursuant to applicable law, regulation or policy, or (ii) 

  
 - 5 - 

	 	
immediately upon prior written notice from Administrative Agent to Bank (with a copy to Facility Servicer) on termination or release of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the
DACA Account for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided that any notice from Administrative Agent under clause (ii) of this sentence must contain Administrative Agent’s acknowledgement of the termination or release of its security
interest in the DACA Account for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Borrower’s payment obligations hereunder, as well as the indemnifications made, and the limitations on the liability of Bank accepted by Borrower, Facility Servicer and
Administrative Agent under this Agreement will continue after the termination of this Agreement with respect to all the circumstances to which they are applicable, existing or occurring before such termination, and any liability of any party to this
Agreement, as determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or omissions of such party prior to such termination will also survive such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Bank will transfer all collected
and available balances (less any deductions permitted under Section 6 hereof) in the DACA Account on the date of such termination in accordance with Facility Servicer or, following a Notice of Exclusive Control which has not been
withdrawn, Administrative Agent’s (at the direction of the Secured Parties) or Facility Servicer’s written instructions. 

  

	 	14.	 Modifications, Amendments, and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, or any
provision thereof waived, except in a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement. 

  

	 	15.	 Notices. All notices from one party to another must be in writing, must be delivered (including
via electronic transmission) to Borrower, Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer and/or Bank at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement, or any other address of any party communicated to the other parties in
writing, and will be effective on receipt. Any notice sent by a party to this Agreement to another party other than Disposition Instructions must also be sent to all other parties to this Agreement. Bank is authorized by Borrower, Administrative
Agent and Facility Servicer to act on any instructions or notices received by Bank if (a) such instructions or notices purport to be made in the name of Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer, (b) Bank reasonably believes that they are
so made and (c) they do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement as such terms may be amended from time to time, unless such conflicting instructions or notices are supported by a court order. 

 

	 	16.	 Successors and Assigns. Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this
Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Bank, Facility Servicer and Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Secured Parties). Neither Administrative Agent nor Facility Servicer may assign or transfer its rights
or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Facility Servicer
may transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) a transferee to which, by contract or operation of law, Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer transfers substantially all of its rights and duties under the financing or
other arrangements between Administrative Agent, Facility Servicer and Borrower, or (ii) if Administrative Agent is acting as a representative in whose favor a security interest is created or provided for, a transferee that is a successor
representative. In the event of a permitted assignment or transfer by Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, Administrative Agent or Facility Servicer will not be released from its obligations
under this Agreement unless and until Bank receives transferee’s binding written agreement to assume all of Administrative Agent’s or Facility Servicer’s obligations hereunder. Bank may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations
under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Secured Parties) and Facility Servicer and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that no such consent will be required if such assignment or transfer takes place as part of a merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization affecting Bank.

  
 - 6 - 

	 	17.	 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York. New York will also be deemed to be Bank’s jurisdiction for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it applies to this Agreement. 

 

	 	18.	 Severability. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement are inconsistent with, or prohibited
or unenforceable under, any applicable law or regulation, they will be deemed ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and will be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any
provision of this Agreement which is deemed unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the same provision in any other jurisdiction.

  

	 	19.	 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which will be
an original with the same effect as if the signatures were on the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic image scan transmission (such as a “pdf” file) will be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement. 

  

	 	20.	 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Account Documentation, contains the entire
and only agreement among all the parties to this Agreement and between Bank and Borrower, on one hand, Bank and Administrative Agent, on another hand, and Bank and Facility Servicer on another hand, with respect to (a) the interest of
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and Facility Servicer in the DACA Account and DACA Account Funds, and (b) Bank’s obligations to Administrative Agent and Facility Servicer in connection with the DACA Account and DACA
