(the “Company”), as borrower, and the Company, as servicer, entered into a credit agreement (the “KeyBank Term Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent and syndication agent, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as collateral custodian.

The secured term loan facility with KeyBank (the “KeyBank Secured Term Loan Facility”) includes a commitment of $200 million from KeyBank. Borrowings under the KeyBank Term Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 2.40%, per year payable monthly, commencing on January 6, 2026. The KeyBank Term Credit Facility provides for a maximum advance rate of up to 58%.

The KeyBank Term Credit Facility includes a two-year initial period and a two-year amortization period, and matures on November 5, 2029, unless extended. The KeyBank Term Credit Facility is collateralized by all investment assets held by TCTF, and contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for secured financings of this type, including certain financial covenants such as a consolidated tangible net worth requirement and an asset coverage ratio requirement.

The KeyBank Term Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to certain grace periods, as applicable), including but not limited to the nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of covenants; inaccuracy of representations or warranties in any material respect; voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings; and change of control of the borrower without the prior written consent of KeyBank.
