(c) Following the occurrence of an Assigned Value Adjustment Event, if such Loan is a Broadly Syndicated Loan (subject to meeting the criteria in the definition therein at the time of such revaluation solely for this clause), the Assigned Value shall not be less than:

(i) the value (expressed as a percentage of par) assigned to such Loan through bid-side quotes determined by any two of LoanX Mark It Partners, Loan Pricing Corporation or another nationally recognized pricing service or broker-dealer selected by the Collateral Manager and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent;

(ii) if the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the value assigned by clause (i) is not current, accurate or available, or does not represent a bona fide trading level, the value for such Loan (expressed as a percentage of par) shall be the average of the bid-side quotes determined by three independent broker-dealers active in the trading of such loan; or (A) if only two such bid-side quotes can be obtained, the average of the bid-side quotes of such two bids; or (B) if only one such bid-side quote can be obtained, such bid-side quote; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines that any such quote is not current or accurate or does not represent a bona fide trading level, the Administrative Agent may reject such quote;

(d) On any Business Day, the Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent reevaluate the Assigned Value of any Loan; provided that such Assigned Value may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to the lesser of (i) the revised Assigned Value (not to be less than the existing Assigned Value), (ii) if the Loan is subject to an ongoing Assigned Value Adjustment Event, the initial Assigned Value provided by the Administrative Agent on the Cut-Off Date or (iii) 100%; provided that, any such increase in the Assigned Value may be conditioned upon a reset of the Original Cash Interest Coverage Ratio, the Original Net Senior Leverage Ratio, the Recurring Revenue Loan Gross Leverage Ratio or the Original Net Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, for such Loan, if so communicated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower promptly upon receipt of the relevant Borrower’s request that the Administrative Agent reevaluate the Assigned Value of such Loan.

(e) At the time of approval of each Loan, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion will designate any applicable Loan as a “Designated Loan” for purposes of determining the Assigned Value of such Loan in reference to the Minimum Facility Attachment Ratios set forth in this definition of “Assigned Value”.

-8-

Any Assigned Value determined hereunder with respect to any Loan on any date after the date such Loan is transferred to the Borrower shall be communicated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent and all other Lenders pursuant to an Assigned Value Notice.

“Assigned Value Adjustment Event”: With respect to any Eligible Loan, each occurrence of any one or more of the following events after the related Cut-Off Date:

(e) other than with respect to any Recurring Revenue Loan, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio for any Relevant Test Period of the related Obligor with respect to such Loan is both (i) less than 85% of the Original Cash Interest Coverage Ratio (or, if applicable, the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio as of the related Recurring Revenue Reclassification Date) and (ii) less than 1.50 to 1.00; provided that in connection with any Revenue Recognition Implementation or any Operating Lease Implementation, the Administrative Agent may retroactively adjust the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio for any Loan as determined on the applicable Cut-Off Date;

(f) other than with respect to any Recurring Revenue Loan, (x) the Net Senior Leverage Ratio (or, with respect to any Second Lien Loan, the Net Total Leverage Ratio) for any Relevant Test Period of the related Obligor with respect to such Loan is both (i) greater than 0.75x higher than such ratio as calculated on the applicable Cut-Off Date and (ii) greater than 3.50 to 1.00; provided that in connection with any Revenue Recognition Implementation or any Operating Lease Implementation, the Administrative Agent may retroactively adjust the Net Senior Leverage Ratio (or, with respect to any Second Lien Loan, the Net Total Leverage Ratio) for any Loan as determined on the applicable Cut-Off Date;

(g) the occurrence of a Material Modification with respect to such Loan;

ARTICLE II

THE ADVANCES

Section 2.1 The Advances.

(a) During the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower may, at its option, request the Lenders to make advances of funds (each, an “Advance”) under this Agreement pursuant to a Funding Notice; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance on or after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Reinvestment Period End Date, unless the Borrower has entered into a binding commitment to purchase an Eligible Loan prior to the declaration of the Termination Date or the Reinvestment Period End Date pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and the related Advance Date is not more than thirty (30) days after such declaration.

(b) Following the receipt of a Funding Notice during the Reinvestment Period and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lenders shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loans to be acquired by the Borrower with the proceeds of such Advance, (i) a Default or Event of Default would (or could reasonably be expected to) result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Borrowing Base Deficiency (Currency) in the relevant Available Currency would occur.

(c) The Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons who satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 12.16 as Lenders and increase the Commitments hereunder; provided that the Commitment of any Lender may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each additional Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement.

(d) The Borrower may, within 90 days but not less than 30 days prior to the Reinvestment Period End Date, make a request to the Lenders to extend the Reinvestment Period End Date, which response to such request shall be delivered to the Borrower (with failure to deliver such response deemed a denial of such request). Upon mutual agreement among the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, the Reinvestment Period End Date shall be extended. The Borrower confirms that any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the Loans or any other factor, may elect not to extend the Reinvestment Period End Date.

-63-

(e) If any Advance (or portion thereof) is to be used by the Borrower to make a distribution to the one or both Equityholder with respect to any Eligible Loan the acquisition of which was fully funded by capital contribution from the Equityholder in advance of receipt of such Advance, upon request of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on their behalf) the Lenders shall fund such Advance (or portion thereof) into an account of the relevant Equityholder.

Section 2.2 Procedures for Advances by the Lenders.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(a), the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders by delivering to the Lenders the information and documents set forth in this Section 2.2.

(b) With respect to any Advances, (A) if such Advance is denominated in Dollars, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Funding Date, (B) if such Advance is denominated in GBP, no later than 2:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date and (C) if such Advance is denominated in Canadian Dollars or Euros, no later than 2:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date (or, in each case, such shorter time period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) shall deliver:

(i) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian) a wire disbursement and authorization form, to the extent not previously delivered; and

(ii) to the Administrative Agent (for onward distribution to each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian) a duly completed Funding Notice (including a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) which shall (i) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount shall not cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Borrowing Base Deficiency (Currency) in the relevant Available Currency of such Advance and must be at least equal to $100,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof), to be allocated to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, (ii) specify the proposed Funding Date of such Advance, (iii) specify the Loan(s) (if any) to be financed on such Funding Date (including the appropriate file number, Obligor, Outstanding Balance, Assigned Value and Purchase Price for such Loan(s) (if any)), and (iv) include a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Funding Notice shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that during any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Funding Notice promptly upon receiving notice of the commencement of such Benchmark Unavailability Period. If any Funding Notice is received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Funding Date or on a day that is not a Business Day, such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.

(c) On the proposed Funding Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(a) and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, by wire transfer to the account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Funding Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the least of (i) the amount requested by the

-64-

Borrower for such Advance, (ii) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (iii) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Advance, could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing a Borrowing Base Deficiency or a Borrowing Base Deficiency (Currency).

(d) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any such Advance shall be 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 obligation hereunder.

(e) Each Term Rate Advance shall automatically Rollover upon the termination of each applicable Interest Period without notice from the Borrower until repaid. On each Rollover Date, all Term Rate Advances in the same Available Currency that are outstanding on such Rollover Date shall, whether or not they are separate Term Rate Advances prior to such Rollover Date, be combined into a single Term Rate Advance in such Available Currency with one (1) Interest Period related to such Term Rate Advance.

Each notice of a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable. The applicable Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.3(a).

(b) The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) may, at any time, reduce any Advances Outstanding; provided that (i) the Borrower shall provide a Repayment Notice (A) if such Advance is denominated in Dollars, no later than 2:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such reduction, (B) if such Advance is denominated in

In connection with any such reduction of Advances Outstanding, the Borrower (or, in the case of curing a Borrowing Base Deficiency or Borrowing Base Deficiency (Currency), the Equityholder on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver (1) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and each Lender of such Advances, a Repayment Notice and (2) funds to the Collateral Agent for payment to the Lenders of such Advances sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest thereon, together with any Breakage Costs and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such repayment (payable pro rata to each Lender), which may include instructions to the Collateral Agent to use funds from the Principal Collection Account and/or funds otherwise provided by the Borrower or the Equityholder to the Collateral Agent with respect thereto; provided that, the Advances Outstanding will not be reduced unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts referred to in this sentence in full. Any Advance so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Reinvestment Period. Any Repayment Notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be irrevocable.

The

-66-

Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of any Benchmark; provided that notice of any such amendment shall be given to the Borrower and the Servicer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the adoption of any such amendment.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with the making, Rollover or prepayment of an Advance, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Advance is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent.

The Collateral Manager shall instruct the Collateral Agent (with notice to the Collateral Custodian) on the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in any Alternative Currency into Dollars to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to Section 2.7 (as determined by the Collateral Manager using the Applicable Exchange Rate). Any Principal Collections may be converted by the

-72-

Collateral Agent at the direction of the Collateral Manager (with notice to the Collateral Custodian) into another Available Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) using the Applicable Exchange Rate so long as no Borrowing Base Deficiency or Borrowing Base Deficiency (Currency) in the Available Currency that is the subject of such conversion exists either prior to or after giving effect to such conversion. The Collateral Manager shall provide no less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian of any such conversion. The Collateral Manager shall further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account on each Determination Date in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.8(d).

(b) Excluded Amounts. With the prior written agreement from the Administrative Agent that any amounts to be withdrawn constitute Excluded Amounts (which agreement may be obtained by either the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Agent), the Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the Pass-Through Collection Account and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Collateral Manager has, prior to such withdrawal and written agreement, delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

(c) Initial Deposits. Commencing on the Funding Date with respect to any Loan, the Collateral Manager will deposit or cause to be deposited into the applicable Pass-Through Collection Account, Canadian Dollar Account, Euro Account or GBP Account, as applicable, all Collections received in respect of such Loan on and after such initial Funding Date.

All amounts on deposit in the Pass-Through Collection Account, Collateral Account, Canadian Dollar Account, Euro Account or GBP Account shall remain uninvested.

(e) Unfunded Exposure Account. The Borrower may, at any time upon receipt of a contribution from the Equityholder transfer Principal Collections into the Unfunded Exposure Account, and the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any amounts to be designated as Unfunded Exposure Collections in the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account. On the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower shall fund an amount equal to the Applicable Unfunded Exposure Required Amount relating to Loans denominated in Dollars into the Unfunded Exposure Account, and the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any amounts to be designated as Unfunded Exposure Collections in the Canadian Dollar Account, the Euro Account or the GBP Account.

Section 2.10 Payments, Computations, etc.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds and any amount not received before such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2.00% per annum above the Prime Rate, payable on demand; provided that (i) such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, (ii) such additional interest shall not accrue unless an Event of Default then exists and (iii) such interest rate shall not apply to Advances Outstanding. Such interest shall be for the account of the applicable Secured Party. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days (other than calculations with respect to (x) CORRA or SONIA, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 days or (y) the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.12, such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.10(a) until repaid in full.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of the Collateral Manager’s or the Borrower’s actions or failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2, (which, in the case of the Collateral Manager, is solely within the control of the Collateral Manager) as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, whichever of the Collateral Manager or the Borrower is at fault, such Person shall indemnify the applicable Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Lender, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the applicable Lender to fund or maintain such Advance upon receipt by the Borrower of documentation setting forth such costs.

Section 2.11 Fees.

The Borrower shall pay to Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP as counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the Closing Date, its reasonable invoiced fees and out-of-pocket expenses through the Closing Date, which payment may be made by deducting any such amount from payments to be made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Borrower on the Closing Date.

Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

(a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case issued after the date of this Agreement, shall (A) subject any Affected Party to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition affecting any Affected Party’s rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on the Payment Date following demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, but excluding Taxes, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, on the Payment Date following demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of any amendment or supplement to Interpretation No. 46 or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Seller, the Borrower or any Affected Party with the assets and liabilities of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or shall otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return on capital or other loss, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.7, the provisions of this Section 2.12(b) shall not apply to the consolidation of the Borrower for accounting purposes as required by GAAP with the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof, whether or not an Affected Party.

-75-

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten (10) days after demand by such Affected Party to the extent of funds available in the Collection Account (and, to the extent of any additional amounts, on the next Payment Date pursuant to Sections 2.7 or 2.8, as applicable, occurring at least five (5) Business Days after the request for such invoice), the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and computations of such additional or increased costs, with a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender shall be requested to disclose confidential or price-sensitive information or any other information, to the extent prohibited by law.

(e) If a Disruption Event with respect to any Lender has occurred with respect to any then-current Benchmark, such Lender shall in turn so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, whereupon all Advances Outstanding made by the affected Lender in the applicable Available Currency will accrue Interest at the Base Rate from and including the date of such Disruption Event to, but excluding, the earlier of (x) such time as the conditions leading to such Disruption Event no longer exists and (y) the Benchmark Replacement Date for such Benchmark.

(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 for any amounts incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine (9) month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(g) Each Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Borrower may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. In no event will the Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 relating to any other entities to which Lenders provide financing.

Section 2.13 Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) the applicable Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13) payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and the calculation thereof 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.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.5, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.16(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13(d).

-77-

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.13(f)(ii)(1), Section 2.13(f)(ii)(2), and Section 2.13(f)(ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W- 9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

a. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.

-78-

federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

b. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

c. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G, Part 2.13-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of the income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G, Part 2.13-2 or Exhibit G, Part 2.13-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification or documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G, Part 2.13-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding required to be made; and

-79-

(4) 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 the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the 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 to withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified 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 an indemnifying party 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 indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

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

(i) such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.1;

(ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.

No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including EURIBOR or Term CORRA) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance denominated in the applicable Available Currency to be made during any Benchmark Unavailability Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the Base Rate shall be used instead of such Benchmark to calculate Interest with respect to the Advances Outstanding that bear interest at a rate based on such Benchmark.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, the Borrower may request such Lender provide an estimate of the costs and expenses that would be incurred by such Lender in connection with designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, in each case, which designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such estimate, the Borrower may approve the proposed designation or assignment, in which case the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to effect the same. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such approved designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender unaffiliated with the Administrative Agent requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, and, in either case, such Lender declines to effect a designation or assignment pursuant to Section 2.19(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of a consent or waiver) to the definitions described in Section 12.1(g) which is approved by the Borrower, the

-88-

Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.16), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

The Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by a Person that the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized.

(11) advise and assist the Borrower with respect to the valuation of the Loans, to the extent required or permitted by this Agreement, and advise and assist the Equityholder with respect to the valuation of the Borrower; and

(viii) The Collateral Manager may, but shall not be obligated to:

(1) retain accounting, tax, legal and other professional services on behalf of the Borrower as may be needed by the Borrower; and/or

(ix) in connection with the purchase of any Loan by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager shall prepare, on behalf of the Borrower, the information required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Loan, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender pursuant to this Agreement.

(x) prepare and submit claims to, and act as post-billing liaison with, Obligors on each Loan (for which no administrative or similar agent exists);

(xi) maintain all necessary records and reports with respect to the Collateral and provide such reports to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in respect of the management and administration of the Collateral (including information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as may be required hereunder or as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;

(xii) maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate management and administration records evidencing the Collateral in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof) and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of the Collateral;

-130-

(xiii) promptly deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian, from time to time, such information and management and administration records (including information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as such Person may from time to time reasonably request;

(xix) direct the Collateral Agent to make payments pursuant to the instructions set forth in the latest Payment Date Statement in accordance with Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 and prepare such other reports as required to be prepared by the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 6.8.

It is acknowledged and agreed that the Borrower possesses only such rights with respect to the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to the Loans and the Underlying Assets and under the Underlying Instruments as have been transferred to the Borrower with respect to the related Loan, and therefore, for all purposes under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall perform its administrative and management duties hereunder only to the extent that, as a lender under the related loan syndication Underlying Instruments, the Borrower has the right to do so.

(b) In performing its duties hereunder and when exercising its discretion and judgment in connection with any transactions involving the Loans, Equity Securities or Permitted Investments, the Collateral Manager shall carry out any reasonable directions of the Borrower for the purpose of preventing a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that such directions are not inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement by which the Collateral Manager is bound or Applicable Law.

-131-

(c) In providing services hereunder, the Collateral Manager may, without the consent of any party but with prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, employ third parties, including, without limitation, its Affiliates, to render advice (including investment advice), to provide services to arrange for trade execution and otherwise to provide assistance to the Borrower and to perform the Borrower’s or the Collateral Manager’s duties hereunder; provided that such delegation of any of its duties hereunder or performance of services by any other Person shall not relieve the Collateral Manager of any of its duties or liabilities hereunder and no third party or Affiliate, for such services which are delegated, shall have any liability therefor hereunder unless otherwise agreed to by the Collateral Manager and such third party or Affiliate.

(d) The Collateral Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to perform the Collateral Manager’s duties called for hereunder and under the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Collateral Manager, in good faith and, subject to the Collateral Manager Standard, shall not be responsible for any action of the Borrower or the Collateral Agent in following or declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager.

(e) In performing its duties, the Collateral Manager shall perform its obligations in accordance with standards and procedures that are not less stringent than (i) the customary and usual standards and procedures that would be exercised by a prudent institutional collateral manager in connection with the servicing and administration of similar Obligors and similar assets under similar circumstances, and (ii) the customary standards and procedures exercised by the Collateral Manager as of the date of determination in connection with the servicing and administration of similar Loans under similar circumstances, except as and to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement (the “Collateral Manager Standard”).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder (including, but not limited to, the delivery of a Collateral Manager Termination Notice), shall not release the Collateral Manager, the Seller or the Borrower from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral, except that the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder shall terminate upon its removal under this Agreement. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, other than as provided for herein or in any other Transaction Document, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder.

(g) Nothing in this Section 6.2 or any other obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement shall release, modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the obligations of the Borrower or any other party hereunder.

-132-

(h) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law, be applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

(i) It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, in addition to acting in its capacity as Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Manager (and its Affiliates) will engage in other business and render other services outside the scope of its capacity as Collateral Manager (including acting as administrative agent or as a lender with respect to Underlying Instruments or as collateral manager to other funds and investment vehicles. It is hereby further acknowledged and agreed that such other activities shall in no way whatsoever alter, amend or modify any of the Collateral Manager’s rights, duties or obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(j) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and Applicable Law, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized to effect client cross- transactions in which the Collateral Manager causes the purchase or sale of a Loan to be effected between the Borrower and another account advised by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates. In addition, the Collateral Manager is authorized to enter into agency cross-transactions in which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates act as broker for the Borrower and for the other party to the transaction, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, in which case any such Affiliate will have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities regarding, both parties to the transaction. The Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to such broker engaging in such transactions and acting in such capacities.

(k) The Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with, or unless otherwise explicitly provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Sale Agreement, hereby agrees that it shall cause any transaction relating to the Loans, the Equity Securities and the Permitted Investments to be conducted on terms and conditions negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and in accordance with Applicable Law.

(l) The Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, select brokers and/or dealers with whom to effect trades on behalf of the Borrower and may open cash trading accounts with such brokers and dealers (provided that none of the assets of the Borrower may be credited to, held in or subject to the lien of the broker or dealer with respect to any such account). In addition, subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, take into consideration research and other brokerage services furnished to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates by brokers and dealers which are not Affiliates of the Collateral Manager; provided that the Collateral Manager in good faith believes that the compensation for such services rendered by such brokers and dealers complies with the requirements of Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act (“Section 28(e)”), or in the case of principal or fixed income transactions for which the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e) is not available, the amount of the spread charged is reasonable in relation to the value of the research and other brokerage services provided. Such services may be used by the Collateral Manager in connection with its other advisory activities or investment operations. The Collateral Manager may aggregate sales and purchase orders placed with respect to the Loans with similar orders being made simultaneously for other clients of the Collateral Manager or of Affiliates of the Collateral

-133-

Manager, if in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable judgment such aggregation shall not result in an overall economic loss to the Borrower, taking into consideration the availability of purchasers or sellers, the selling or purchase price, brokerage commission or other expenses, as well as the availability of such Loans on any other basis. In accounting for such aggregated order price, commissions and other expenses may be apportioned on a weighted average basis. When any purchase or sale of a Loan, Equity Security or Permitted Investment occurs as part of any aggregate sales or purchase orders, the objective of the Collateral Manager will be to allocate the executions among the clients in an equitable manner and in accordance with the internal policies and procedures of the Collateral Manager and, to the extent relevant, Applicable Law.

(m) The Collateral Manager shall not have authority to cause the Borrower to purchase or sell any Collateral from or to the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates as principal, or from or to any other account, portfolio or person for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as investment advisor, unless (i) the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Borrower as the terms it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a non-Affiliate or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, including Section 2.14(f), and (ii) the transactions are effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the Advisers Act). To the extent that Applicable Law requires disclosure to and the consent of the Borrower to any purchase or sale transaction on a principal basis with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, such requirement may be satisfied with respect to the Borrower pursuant to any manner that is permitted pursuant to then Applicable Law.

(n) In the event that, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to (i) facilitate the sale of the same asset both for the Borrower and for either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or for another client of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) facilitate the acquisition of the same asset both for the Borrower and for either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or for another client of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof, then, in each such case, such purchases or sales will be allocated in a manner believed by the Collateral Manager to be equitable and that is consistent with the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder, the Collateral Manager Standard and Applicable Law.

(o) In certain circumstances, the interests of the Borrower and/or the Lenders with respect to matters as to which the Collateral Manager is advising the Borrower may conflict with the foregoing interests of the Seller and the Collateral Manager. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and consents to various potential and actual conflicts of interest that may exist with respect to the Collateral Manager as described above. If the Collateral Manager, in its good faith judgment, determines that a conflict of interest exists, the Collateral Manager will be guided by its good faith judgment as to the best interests of the Borrower and will take such actions as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate the conflict. To this end, the Collateral Manager may consult with an independent advisor, and act in accordance with the written instructions thereof, or may seek to resolve the conflict in any other manner that it believes in good faith is permitted or required under Applicable Law.

-134-

Section 6.3 Authorization of the Collateral Manager.

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Collateral Manager and not inconsistent with the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of a security interest in the Collateral that at all times ranks senior to any other creditor of the Borrower (subject to Permitted Liens), to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, 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 and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Seller could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Collateral Manager with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Collateral Manager to carry out its management and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Collateral Manager to the fullest extent in order to permit the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the Collateral Manager be entitled to make any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) After the declaration of the Termination Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral and directs the Collateral Manager; provided that the Collateral Agent may, in accordance with Section 5.1(m), notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Collateral Agent or any collection agent, sub-agent or account designated by the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

(c) In dealing with the Collateral Manager and its duly appointed agents, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Collateral Manager or any such agent to bind the Borrower.

Section 6.4 Collection of Payments; Accounts.

The Collateral Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard to collect or cause to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans included in the Collateral as and when the same become due.

-135-

(b) Taxes and other Amounts. To the extent the Borrower is required under the Underlying Instruments to perform such duties, the Collateral Manager will use its best efforts to collect all payments (other than Excluded Amounts) with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application under the Underlying Instrument, directing all such payments to be paid to the applicable Pass-Through Collection Account, and direct the Collateral Agent to remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Underlying Instruments.

(c) Payments. On or before the applicable Funding Date, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall have instructed all Obligors and paying agents of Agented Loans to make all payments owing to the Borrower in respect of the Collateral directly to the applicable Pass-Through Collection Account, Canadian Dollar Account, Euro Account or GBP Account, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.9; provided that the Borrower nor the Collateral Manager is required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor unless and until the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) directly calls on the related guaranty. The Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall confirm to the Administrative Agent in writing when it has provided each such payment instruction required under this Section 6.4(c).

(d) Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that each Account shall be deemed to be a Securities Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Agent or any other Securities Intermediary that holds any cash or other Financial Asset for the Borrower in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and other property (subject to Section 6.4(e) below with respect to any property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (B) the jurisdiction governing the Account, all cash and other Financial Assets credited to the Account and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) shall, in each case, be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Agent or other Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account.

(e) Underlying Instruments. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent nor any Securities Intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower of a security interest to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Agent shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan transferred to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-136-

Section 6.5 Realization Upon Loans Subject to an Assigned Value Adjustment Event.

The Collateral Manager will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Underlying Instruments to exercise available remedies, if any, relating to a Loan that has become subject to one or more Assigned Value Adjustment Events in order to maximize recoveries thereunder in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard. Subject to the terms of the Underlying Instruments and the Collateral Manager Standard, the Collateral Manager will comply in all material respects with Applicable Law in exercising such remedies.

Section 6.6 Collateral Manager Compensation.

As compensation for its administrative and management activities hereunder and following the date of its election to receive the Collateral Management Fee, the Collateral Manager or its designee shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Management Fee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.7 and Section 2.8, as applicable; provided that no Collateral Management Fee shall accrue until the first day of the Accrual Period immediately following the date of such election by the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager shall elect to receive the Collateral Management Fee by providing written notice of such election to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of any Accrual Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Manager may not defer all or any portion of the Collateral Management Fee.

The Collateral Manager may be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder (including out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8; provided, that, to the extent funds are not available for such reimbursement, the Collateral Manager shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Collateral Management Fee.

(b) Amendments to Loans. The Collateral Manager will post on a password protected website maintained by the Collateral Manager to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will have access (or otherwise deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, by electronic mail) a copy of any material amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Underlying Instruments of any Loan (along with any internal documents prepared by the Collateral Manager and provided to its investment committee in connection with such amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification) within ten (10) Business Days of the effectiveness of such amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification.

-139-

make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. In connection with any such determination permitting the resignation of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a description of the circumstances giving rise to such determination.

Section 6.11 Collateral Manager Termination Events.

Upon the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Termination Event, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Collateral Manager with a copy to the Borrower, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and each other Lender (such notice, a “ Collateral Manager Termination Notice”), may, in its sole discretion, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Collateral Manager as “Collateral Manager” under this Agreement; provided that, such termination shall not be effective until the earlier to occur of (a) the appointment of a replacement Collateral Manager identified and approved by the Equityholder and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the last day of the Consultation Period and (b) the appointment of a replacement Collateral Manager by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion after the end of the Consultation Period.

Periodically, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may review the Collateral Manager’s collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess compliance by the Collateral Manager with Article VI and may conduct an audit of the Collateral, and Underlying Instruments in conjunction with such a review. Such review shall be reasonable in scope and shall be completed in a reasonable period of time.

ARTICLE VIII

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 8.1 Grant of Security Interest.

(a) This Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the Advances effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral (other than any Collateral which constitutes Margin Stock), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Borrower arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter

-148-

existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Obligations. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Applicable Law in effect as of the date hereof or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable Law. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, but without any obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Advances, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.

(b) The grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Collateral Agent of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of their respective duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Equityholder, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree to treat, and to cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat, each Advance as indebtedness for purposes of United States federal and state income tax or state franchise tax to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and shall file its tax returns or reports, or cause its Affiliates to file such tax returns or reports, in a manner consistent with such treatment.

Section 8.2 Release of Lien on Collateral.

(a) At the same time as (i) any Loan expires by its terms or is prepaid in full and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the applicable Collection Account or (ii) any Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale, Substitution or Optional Sale pursuant to Section 2.14, has been sold to the Seller as required under the Sale Agreement or has been sold pursuant to Section 9.2, such Loan shall be released automatically from the Lien of this Agreement. In connection with any release of such Collateral,

-149-

the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will upon receipt into the applicable Pass-Through Collection Account of the Proceeds of any such sale, payment in full or prepayment in full of a Loan, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (or its designee) requesting the same, any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as such Person may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral, (ii) deliver any portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien granted under this Agreement in its possession to or at the direction of the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the applicable portion of the Collateral to be released and delivered to or at the direction of the Borrower such portion of the Collateral to be so released; provided that, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such release, sale, transfer and/or assignment. Nothing in this Section shall diminish the Collateral Manager’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the Proceeds of any such sale.

(b) On the Collection Date, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will release the security interest in the Collateral created hereby, which release shall occur simultaneously with receipt in the applicable Collection Account of the payoff amount specified in a payoff letter signed by the Administrative Agent. Upon request of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a computation of all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent as of the anticipated Collection Date and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Collateral Agent, a computation of all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the anticipated Collection Date. In connection with such release of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (or its designee) requesting the same, any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release of the Collateral, (ii) deliver any portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien granted under this Agreement in its possession to or at the direction of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) and (iii) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the Collateral (including, without limitation, delivering a Termination Notice (as defined in the Securities Account Control Agreement) in respect of the Securities Account Control Agreement); provided that, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such release.

-153-

all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) or (ii) the Reinvestment Period End Date to have occurred; provided that, (x) in the case of any event involving the Borrower described in Section 9.1(d), all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly, waived by the Borrower) and the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of any such event and (y) in the case of any event involving the Borrower described in Section 9.1(e) resulting solely from a Collateral Manager Termination Event described in clause (l) of the definition thereof, no such declaration may be made for a period of ninety (90) days after such event.

(b) On and after the declaration or occurrence of the Termination Date, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have, with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 8.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.2(c), the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Collateral Agent’s name or the name of any Secured Party or its nominee or nominees, and/or forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions (including by lease or by deferred payment arrangement) as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk and/or may take such other actions as may be available under Applicable Law. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, auction or closed tender, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. In addition, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agree that they will, at the Borrower’s expense and at the direction of the Collateral Agent, forthwith, (i) assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent, whether at the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms, in such lots, to such buyers, and according to such other instructions as the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ notice to the Borrower of any sale hereunder shall constitute reasonable and proper notification. All cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Loans (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the applicable Pass-Through Collection Account, Canadian Dollar Account, Euro Account or GBP Account, as applicable, and to be applied pursuant to Section 2.8. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower

-154-

waive all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Obligations are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Equityholder or any Affiliates thereof shall have the right to purchase any or all of the Loans in the Collateral, in each case by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all outstanding Obligations. If the Equityholder or any Affiliates thereof fail to (i) give notice of its intention to exercise this purchase right within three (3) Business Days following the declaration that the Obligations are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or (ii) exercise such purchase right within twelve (12) Business Days following its provision of notice pursuant to clause (i), then, in either case, such contractual rights shall be irrevocably forfeited by the Equityholder and Affiliates thereof, but nothing herein shall prevent the Equityholder or its Affiliates from bidding at any sale of such Collateral.

Section 9.3 Collateral Agent Shall Enforce Claims.

All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be prosecuted and enforced by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in any legal or equitable proceeding, judicial or otherwise, relating thereto in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.8.

Section 9.4 Application of Cash Collected.

Any cash collected by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations pursuant to this Article IX and any cash that may then be held or thereafter received by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8, at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent; provided, that (a) subject to clause (b), no such date may be fixed by the Collateral Agent unless the Collateral Agent has given the Borrower no fewer than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of such date, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the expected applications of cash on such date and (b) no failure by the Collateral Agent to deliver the notice required pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) will affect the application of funds in the applicable Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 2.8 on the next succeeding Payment Date.

Section 9.5 Rights of Action.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 12.10) or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct the Collateral Agent to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to any Transaction Document, or for the appointment of a separate receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall only institute proceedings and exercise remedies hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent (which the Collateral Agent shall implement without delay) and, in taking any action as so directed, shall have the right to indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request.

-155-

Section 9.6 Unconditional Rights of Lenders to Receive Principal and Interest

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the Obligations as such principal and interest become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Lender.

(b) If collections in respect of the Collateral are insufficient to make payments due in respect of the Obligations, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency following realization of the Collateral and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8, and the obligations of the Borrower to pay any deficiency shall thereupon be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

Section 9.7 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Collateral Agent or any Lender has instituted any judicial proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent or to such Lender, then and in every such case the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 9.8 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent or to the Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.9 Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 9.9 or by law to the Collateral Agent or to the Lenders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the Lenders, as the case may be.

-156-

Section 9.10 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

Section 9.11 Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. For the avoidance of doubt, the power of attorney granted by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.11 supersedes any other power of attorney or similar rights granted by the Borrower to any other party (including, without limitation, the Collateral Manager) under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement; provided that, the Collateral Manager may continue to exercise its rights under this Agreement until the Collateral Manager has received notice of the Collateral Agent’s exercise of its power of attorney hereunder.

duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party excluding, however, any Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud on the part of any Collateral Manager Indemnified Party. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by a Collateral Manager Indemnified Party subject to the limitations hereof; provided that the indemnification of the Borrower, the Equityholder and their respective managers, officers, directors, employees and agents shall be in all respects junior and subordinate to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties and their respective managers, officers, directors, employees and agents.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.1 Appointment.

Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees (including, without limitation, the Collateral Agent) to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the

-161-

purposes stated hereinabove. The Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) 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.

Section 11.2 Standard of Care.

The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Section 11.3 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, etc.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents except, solely with respect to claims made by the Borrower, for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Seller), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or the Seller or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or the Seller; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

-162-

Section 11.4 Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Section 11.5 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager), ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. The payment of amounts under this Section 11.5 shall be on an after-Tax basis. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share promptly upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees of one outside counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager.

Section 11.6 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least ten (10) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The successor Administrative Agent agrees to deliver, in its own capacity, either (i) an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or (ii) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY in which it agrees to be treated as a U.S. Person for purposes of U.S. federal withholding tax. The Borrower and each Lender agree that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a

combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, (ii) a Lender or (iii) an Affiliate of such a bank or a Lender. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Payments by the Administrative Agent.

Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 3:30 p.m. on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

Section 11.8 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party or any other Person that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Secured Party or other Person (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.8(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) then such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.8(a). Each Payment Recipient shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

-164-

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) of Section 11.8(a), it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of Section 11.8(a), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf shall cause such Payment Recipient to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “ Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Payment Recipient (i) such Payment Recipient shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Affiliated with the Administrative Agent, in a principal amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest, without further consent or approval of any party hereto without any further payment by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliated Lender as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. As to any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.16. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a

-165-

payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as repayment of such Obligations) and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received (except to the extent that the funds used to make such Erroneous Payment were received from the Borrower as repayment of such Obligations).

(f) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under pursuant to this Section 11.8 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, 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 12.15 Waiver of Setoff.

Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against any Lender or its assets.

Section 12.16 Assignments by the Lenders.

(a) Subject to Section 12.16(f), each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (y) required if an Event of Default has occurred), at any time assign an interest in, or sell a participation interest in any Advance (or portion thereof) or its Commitment hereunder (or any portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, (i) the Borrower may reasonably withhold its consent to any proposed assignee or participant that is a Direct Competitor, (ii) in the case of a sale of a participation interest in any Advance (or portion thereof) or Commitment (or any portion thereof), such Lender’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, (iii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no transfer of any

-175-

Commitment (or portion thereof) or Advance (or any portion thereof) other than pursuant to the following clause (v) shall be made unless the transferee has either a long-term unsecured debt rating of “Baa2” or above from Moody’s or “BBB” or above from S&P, (iv) the consent of the Borrower is not required for any assignment (w) to an entity that is a commercial bank or registered broker-dealer, (x) to any Affiliate of a Lender or (y) required by any change in Applicable Law or Governmental Authority applicable to such Lender and (v) in the case of an assignment of any Commitment (or any portion thereof) or any Advance (or any portion thereof), the assignee executes and delivers to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a fully executed Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. Each Lender hereby represents and warrants that it is a “Qualified Purchaser” within the meaning of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. The parties to any such assignment or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to such Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties. The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien (except Permitted Liens) to exist upon, the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Wells Fargo shall not need to obtain the prior consent of the Borrower to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its properties and assets, including without limitation any Advance (or portion thereof), to any Person.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) The Borrower agrees that each participant pursuant to Section 12.16(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(g) as if it were an assignee hereunder; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by the participating Lender or such participant with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12(g) with respect to the applicable participant.

-176-

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of the applicable participants and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such participant’s interest in the Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Obligations) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Advances or Commitments as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder).

(f) Wells Fargo, as a Lender, hereby agrees not to assign the Commitments in any proportion that would cause it to retain less than 51% of the Commitments unless (a) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (b) it is required on advice of internal or external counsel to sell any or all of its Commitments by Applicable Law or any regulatory authority or (c) it would retain less than 51% of the Commitments as a result of another Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender; provided, that Wells Fargo gives prior written notice of such sale to the Collateral Manager.

Section 12.17 Heading and Exhibits.

The headings herein are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes.

Section 12.18 Intent of the Parties.

It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that the Advances are loans from the Lenders to the Borrower and do not constitute a “security” within the meaning of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC.

Section 12.19 Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

To the extent that this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document constitutes a QFC, the Borrower agrees with each Secured Party as of the Closing Date as follows:

(a) In the event a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or such other the Transaction Document, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

-177-

(b) In the event that a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or such other Transaction Document were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

ARTICLE XIII

THE COLLATERAL CUSTODIAN

Section 13.1 Designation of Collateral Custodian.

(a) Initial Collateral Custodian. The role of Collateral Custodian with respect to the Underlying Instruments shall be conducted by the Person designated as Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 13.1. Until the Administrative Agent shall give to Western Alliance a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, Western Alliance is hereby appointed as, and hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice from the Administrative Agent and the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.5, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder.

Section 13.2 Duties of Collateral Custodian.

(a) Appointment. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Custodian by this Agreement. The Collateral Custodian hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. By entering into, or performing its duties under, this Agreement, the Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to release, terminate, discharge, limit, reduce, diminish, modify, amend or otherwise alter in any respect the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under this Agreement.

-178-

(b) Duties. On or before the initial Funding Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 13.5, the Collateral Custodian shall perform, on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:

(i) The Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Required Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of any Required Loan Documents and the related Loan Checklist, the Collateral Custodian shall review the Required Loan Documents delivered to it to confirm that (A) the Obligor name matches the Loan Checklist, (B) such Required Loan Documents have been executed by each party thereto and appear to have no missing or mutilated pages, (C) each item listed in the Loan Checklist has been provided to the Collateral Custodian and (D) the related original balance (based on a comparison to the note or assignment agreement, as applicable) is greater than or equal to the loan balance listed on the related Loan Schedule that accompanies the related Borrowing Base Certificate (such items in sub-clauses (A) through (D) of this clause (i) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Required Loan Documents hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Manager shall provide to the Collateral Custodian an electronic copy in EXCEL or a comparable format acceptable to the Collateral Custodian of the related Loan Checklist that contains a list of all related Required Loan Documents and the name of the Obligor with respect to each related Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Required Loan Documents shall be limited to reviewing such Required Loan Documents based on the information provided on the Loan Checklist. If, at the conclusion of such review, the Collateral Custodian is unable to confirm the Review Criteria, the Collateral Custodian shall within one (1) Business Day notify the Collateral Manager and the Borrower of such determination and provide the Collateral Manager and the Borrower with a list of the non-complying Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that they fail to satisfy. The Collateral Manager shall have twenty (20) Business Days to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. If after the conclusion of such time period the Collateral Manager has still not cured any non-compliance by a Loan with any Review Criteria, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly notify the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such continued non-compliance and such Loan shall cease to be an Eligible Loan until such non-compliance is cured. In addition, if requested in writing in the form of Exhibit D by the Collateral Manager and approved by the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the Collateral Custodian’s delivery of such report, the Collateral Custodian shall return the Required Loan Documents for any Loan which fails to satisfy any Review Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Collateral Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Underlying Instruments.

(ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Underlying Instruments, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Secured Parties; provided that the Collateral Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Underlying Instruments or the instruments therein; and provided further that the Collateral Custodian’s duties as agent shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

-179-

(iii) All Required Loan Documents shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. All Required Loan Documents (other than original executed documents to the extent expressly set forth herein), each Loan Checklist and any other form, notice or information to be delivered by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Custodian hereunder may be delivered in electronic form by uploading such document, notice or other information to an electronic data room established by the Collateral Custodian.

(iv) On each Reporting Date, the Collateral Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager (in a form mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian) identifying each Loan for which it holds Required Loan Documents and any Review Criteria that each such Loan fails to satisfy. A draft of such report shall be provided to the Collateral Manager three (3) Business Days prior to delivery to the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Manager shall have twenty (20) Business Days after notice or knowledge thereof to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. To the extent such non-compliance has not been cured within such time period, such Loan shall cease to be an Eligible Loan until such non-compliance is cured.

(v) The Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and deliver any Required Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent as requested in order to take any action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to exercise or enforce any of the rights of a Secured Party hereunder. In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

(vi) The Collateral Custodian shall, promptly upon its actual receipt of a Borrowing Base Certificate from the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower, calculate the Borrowing Base and, if the Collateral Custodian’s calculation does not correspond with the calculation provided by the Collateral Manager on such Borrowing Base Certificate, deliver such calculation to each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Collateral Manager within one (1) Business Day of receipt by the Collateral Custodian of such Borrowing Base Certificate. The Collateral Custodian shall also make required calculations for each Payment Date Statement as of the day that is four (4) Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date, and deliver such calculations to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (and, following the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager) for the Collateral Manager’s (or Administrative Agent’s, as applicable) review no later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Payment Date. Upon the approval (which may be by email) by the Collateral Manager (or after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent), the Payment Date Statement shall constitute instructions by the Collateral Manager (or after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent) to the Collateral Agent to withdraw on the related Payment Date from the applicable Collection Account and pay or transfer amounts set forth in such report in the manner specified, and in accordance with the priorities established, in Section 2.7 or Section 2.8, as applicable.

-180-

(vii) The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Custodian to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Custodian by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(viii) If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Custodian is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Custodian may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by the Administrative Agent. If the Collateral Custodian does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after its request therefor, the Collateral Custodian may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Custodian shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants obtained in good faith in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(ix) The Collateral Custodian shall create a collateral database with respect to the Collateral (the “Collateral Database”), and update the Collateral Database daily for changes, including to reflect the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, based upon, and to the extent of, information furnished to the Collateral Custodian by the Borrower as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Custodian.

(x) The Collateral Custodian shall track the receipt and daily allocation to the Accounts of Collections, the outstanding balances therein, and any withdrawals therefrom and, on each Business Day, provide to the Collateral Manager daily reports reflecting such actions as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day.

(xi) The Collateral Custodian shall provide such other information with respect to the Collateral as may be routinely maintained by the Collateral Custodian or as may be required by this Agreement, in each case as the Borrower, Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

(xii) The Collateral Custodian shall notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent upon receiving notices, reports or proxies or any other requests relating to corporate actions affecting the Collateral.

(xiii) In performing its duties, (A) the Collateral Custodian shall comply with the standard of care set forth in Section 13.6(c) and express terms of the Transaction Documents and (B) all calculations made by the Collateral Custodian pursuant to this Section 13.2(b) using information that is not routinely maintained by the Collateral Custodian, including EBITDA, Assigned Value and Unrestricted Cash of any Obligor shall be made using such amounts as provided by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Custodian.

-181-

(xiv) The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent.

(xv) Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Custodian or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person.

Section 13.3 Merger or Consolidation.

Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, or that succeeds to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession.

Section 13.4 Collateral Custodian Compensation.

As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to a Collateral Custodian Fee pursuant to the provision of Section 2.7(a)(2), Section 2.7(b)(2) or Section 2.8(1), as applicable. The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive the Collateral Custodian Fee shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.5 or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.5 Collateral Custodian Removal.

The Collateral Custodian may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower by thirty (30) days’ written notice given in writing to the Collateral Custodian and the Lenders (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder in full compliance with the requirements of Section 13.7, and has received all Underlying Instruments held by the previous Collateral Custodian. In the case of a resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian, if no successor shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Custodian within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian.

-182-

Section 13.6 Limitation on Liability.

The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions of the Administrative Agent.

(b) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Collateral Manager’s request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment or repurchase have been or will be credited to the Collection Account as provided in this Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Underlying Instruments to the Collateral Manager.
