supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in
the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be,

Amount Test, and (f) include a representation that all conditions precedent for a Loan
Advance described in Section 3.2 hereof have been met. Each Funding Notice shall be
irrevocable. If any Funding Notice is received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00
p.m. (New York City Time) 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. (New York City
Time) on the next Business Day.
For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Administrative Agent shall have agreed to a shorter notice
period under Section 2.2(c), if the Borrower delivers a Funding Notice specifying a proposed
Funding Date that would occur less than one (1) Business Day after the date such Funding
Notice is received (or deemed received in accordance with Section 2.2(c)), such request for a
Loan Advance shall be treated as a request for a Swingline Advance.
(d)On the proposed Funding Date, subject to the limitations set forth in this
Section 2.2 and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (and, if the
Effective Date is a Funding Date, Section 3.1):
(i)with respect to each Advance (other than a Swingline Advance), each
Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds, by no later
than 12:00 p.m. (New York City Time), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share, of the least of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Loan Advance,
(B) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (C) the maximum amount that,
after taking into account the proposed use of the proceeds of such Loan Advance, could
-64-
be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing the Advances Outstanding to
exceed the Availability;
(ii)with respect to each Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender shall make
available to the Borrower in same day funds, an amount equal to the least of (i) the
amount requested by the Borrower for such Swingline Advance, (ii) the positive
difference between (A) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (B) the aggregate
outstanding Swingline Advances as of such date and (iii) the maximum amount that, after
taking into account the proposed use of proceeds of such Swingline Advance, could be
advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing the Advances Outstanding to
exceed the Availability; provided that, no Swingline Advance will be permitted if the
amount requested by the Borrower in respect of such Swingline Advance will cause the
sum of (x) the outstanding Swingline Advances as of such date, and (y) aggregate
outstanding amount of Loan Advances made by the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a
Lender (excluding the portion of such Swingline Advance attributable to the Swingline
Lender’s subsequent Loan Advance in connection with the repayment of such Swingline
Advance) to exceed the Commitment of the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Lender;
(iii)upon receipt of the amounts described in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly fund such amounts by wire transfer to the
account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Funding Notice given pursuant to
this Section 2.2; and
(iv)notwithstanding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.2(d) with respect
to the funding of the initial Loan Advance hereunder, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent may net any fees and reimbursable expenses owing to it on the Effective Date (as
set forth in the executed closing statement) from the amount funded by the Lenders to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, and/or the amount of
such Loan Advance funded by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower pursuant to
clause (iii).
(e)On each Funding Date (which is not associated with a Swingline
Advance), the obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Loan 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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan
Advance on or after the earlier to occur of the Revolving Period End Date or the Termination
Date except as provided in Section 2.2(f). For the avoidance of doubt, in relation with a
refinancing of a Swingline Advance, such Lender’s payment obligation will be fulfilled in
accordance with Section 2.2(g).
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of
the earlier of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) the Revolving Period End Date, if the amount on
deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure
Amount, the Administrative Agent (x) may, in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default
or (y) shall in the case of the occurrence of the Revolving Period End Date, on behalf of the
Borrower, request a Loan Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the Exposure Amount
-65-
Shortfall”). Following receipt of such request, the Lenders shall fund such Exposure Amount
Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.2(d), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
(including the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
3.2), except that no Lender shall make any Loan Advance to the extent that, after giving effect to
such Loan Advance, the Advances Outstanding would exceed the Availability.
(g)Refinancing of Swingline Advances.
(i)Each Swingline Advance shall be refinanced by the Lenders on the
second (2nd) Business Day following the date of such Swingline Advance (each such
date, a “Swingline Refinance Date”). Such refinancings shall be made by the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall thereafter be reflected as Loan
Advances of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each
Lender shall fund its respective Pro Rata Share of Loan Advances as required to repay
Swingline Advances outstanding to the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 p.m. on the
applicable Swingline Refinance Date.
(ii)The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender, within five (5)
Business Days of demand, the amount of such Swingline Advances to the extent amounts
received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline
Advances requested or required to be refinanced. If any portion of any such amount paid
to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the
Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall
be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares.
(iii)Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
refinance Swingline Advances in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(g) is
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including, (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment,
defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may
have against the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any
other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be
satisfied or the failure of the Borrower to deliver a Funding Notice (each of which
requirements the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party. Further, each Lender agrees and
acknowledges that if prior to the refinancing of any outstanding Swingline Advances
pursuant to this Section 2.2(g), a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to the
Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Transferor shall have occurred, each Lender
will, on the date the applicable Loan Advance would have been made, purchase an
undivided participating interest in the Swingline Advance to be refinanced in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Advance. Each
Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available
funds, the amount of its participation. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender
has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline
Advance, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline
Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount
-66-
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).
Section 2.3Principal Repayments.
(a)The Borrower shall be entitled at its option, at any time, to repay all or any
portion of the Advances Outstanding; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give prior written
notice of such repayment in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to
the Collateral Custodian) by at least (A) 12:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the date of such
repayment and (ii) any repayment of Advances Outstanding (other than with respect to
repayments of Advances Outstanding made by the Borrower to reduce a Borrowing Base
Deficiency to zero) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 (other than (x) any prepayment
of Swingline Advances for which no minimum shall apply and (y) any such partial repayment of
Advances Outstanding which is funded (A) solely with proceeds from the repayment of a
Revolving Loan or (B) solely with amounts otherwise distributable to the Borrower under
Section 2.7(a)(16), Section 2.7(b)(6) or Section 2.8(11)). In connection with any such
repayment of Advances Outstanding, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent by
1:00 p.m. (New York City Time) (1) instructions to repay such Advances Outstanding and (2)
funds sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding together with, if the Advances Outstanding
are prepaid in full in connection with an optional repayment, all accrued Interest; provided that,
the Advances Outstanding will not be repaid unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all
such amounts in the succeeding sentence in full. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts
received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) to the pro rata repayment of the
Advances Outstanding and, if applicable, to the payment of accrued Interest on the amount of the
Advances Outstanding to be repaid. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Period. Any Repayment Notice relating
to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable. Upon receipt of any notice
or instructions from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(a), the Administrative Agent will
provide notification to the Lenders with respect thereto. Any prepayment of Advances
Outstanding under this Section 2.3(a) shall be applied first to the Loan Advances that bear
interest at the Base Rate, and then, ratably, to the Loan Advances that bear interest at Daily
Simple SOFR.
(b)Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof, the Advances
Outstanding shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date or on such later date as is agreed to
in writing by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders.
(c)Commitment Reductions.
(i)Prior to the Revolving Period End Date, the Borrower shall have the right
to terminate the Commitments in full and, on one (1) occasion, to permanently reduce all
or a portion of the unfunded amount of the Commitments upon not less than ten (10)
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the
Collateral Custodian) of any such reduction, which notice shall substantially be in the
form of Exhibit A-8 and shall specify the effective date of such reduction. Such notice of
reduction shall be effective only upon receipt and shall permanently reduce the
-67-
Commitments of each Lender, pro rata, in the amount of the reduction and on the date
specified in such notice; provided that no such reduction will reduce the Commitments
below the Advances Outstanding at such time. Any notice of reduction delivered to
Administrative Agent shall be irrevocable.
(ii)The reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) shall be
permanent and in an amount not less than $10,000,000 and the Commitments, once
reduced, shall not be reinstated. The reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.3(c) shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Share. Upon receipt of a notice of reduction from the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such reduction.
(iii)Except in the case of a reduction of all Commitments and repayment in
full of all Advances Outstanding on the Termination Date, the Borrower will not reduce
the Commitments if, after giving effect to such reduction, it would result in (x) an
Unfunded Exposure Shortfall or (y) the Facility Amount being less than $150,000,000.
Section 2.4Determination of Interest.
The Administrative Agent shall calculate and determine the Interest (including
unpaid Interest related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date and the
Benchmark) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period
and shall advise the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Custodian thereof no later than the
third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.
Section 2.5Notations on Notes.
Each Lender is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Note with
respect to such Lender, as applicable, a notation (which may be computer generated) or to
otherwise record in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each Loan
Advance made by the applicable Lender of (a) the date and principal amount thereof and (b)
each payment and repayment of principal thereof. Any such recordation shall, absent manifest
error, constitute prima facie evidence of the Advances Outstanding, as applicable, under each
such Note. The failure of any Lender to make any such notation on the schedule attached to the
applicable Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the
Loan Advances in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
Section 2.6Reduction of Borrowing Base Deficiency.
Any Borrowing Base Deficiency may be reduced to zero by the Borrower taking
one or more of the following actions, which after giving effect thereto, cause the aggregate
Advances Outstanding to no longer exceed Availability at such time:
(i)depositing Dollars in the Principal Collection Account;
(ii)repaying Advances Outstanding in accordance with Section 2.3(a); and
-68-
(iii)posting additional Eligible Loans as Collateral.

Collections and shall segregate and transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Principal Collections
and Interest Collections in accordance with Section 5.1(f).
(b)Excluded Amounts. The Collateral Manager may withdraw from the
Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts, provided that the
Collateral Manager shall, concurrently with such withdrawal, deliver to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form

shall be retained or deposited into the applicable Account and shall be applied as Collections on
each Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 (as applicable).
(e)Unfunded Exposure Account.
-73-
(i)The Borrower shall not acquire any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving
Loan unless, in each case, immediately after giving effect to such acquisition or issuance,
the Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the Required Funding Amount with
respect to such Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, as applicable, into the Unfunded
Exposure Account. Subject to the satisfaction of the Withdrawal Conditions, amounts on
deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn by the Borrower (x) to
fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Revolving Loan or Delayed
Draw Loan or (y) to make a deposit into the Principal CollectionsCollection Account.
Any such withdrawal will be subject to the following conditions (the Withdrawal
Conditions”):
(1)after giving effect to any such withdrawal under clause (x) above,
no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists; and
(2)after giving effect to any such withdrawal under clause (x) or (y)
above, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is
equal to or greater than the aggregate Required Funding Amount with respect to
all Loans included in the Collateral.
(ii)Any draw request made by an Obligor under a Revolving Loan or Delayed
Draw Loan, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded
by the Borrower to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
along with an instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw the applicable amount
from the Unfunded Exposure Account and a certification that the conditions to fund such
draw are satisfied, and the Collateral Custodian shall fund such draw request in
accordance with such instructions from the Borrower.
(iii)If the Borrower shall receive any Principal Collections from an Obligor
with respect to a Revolving Loan and, as of the date of such receipt (and after taking into
account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure
Account is less than the aggregate Required Funding Amount with respect to all Loans
included in the Collateral (the amount of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded
Exposure Shortfall”), the Collateral Custodian shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure
Account an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate
amount of such Principal Collections and (b) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall as
directed by the Borrower (or Collateral Manager on its behalf).
(f)Limitation on Transfers. Except as set forth in Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.9(b),

transfer of funds from any Collection Account, and the Collateral Custodian shall not comply
with an order or direction from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to withdraw or transfer
funds from any Collection Account, in any case, without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, which consent may be given at the Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion. On each Payment Date, amounts in the Interest Collection Account and the Principal
Collection Account shall be applied to make the payments and disbursements described in
Section 2.7 or 2.8, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Borrower nor the
-74-
Collateral Manager will instruct, nor will the Collateral Custodian permit, any release of funds
from any Collection Account except in accordance with this Section 2.9(f).
Section 2.10Payments, Computations, Etc.
(a)Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or
deposited by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to the Administrative Agent or the other
Secured Parties hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later
than 1:00 p.m. (New York City Time) 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 or the Collateral Manager, as applicable,
shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid
or deposited when due hereunder at the Interest Rate applicable during an Event of Default,
payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum
rate permitted by Applicable Law. 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 the Base Rate, which
shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days) 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. 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 at the
Interest Rate until repaid in full.
(c)If any Loan Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a
result of the Borrower’s actions or failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2 applicable to
the Borrower, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify
the applicable Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable
Lender, including 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 Loan Advance.
(d)If at any time after the Effective Date, the Advances Outstanding
hereunder are not allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares, the Lenders agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the Advances
Outstanding between themselves so that each Lender is then holding its relevant Pro Rata Share
of Advances Outstanding based on its Commitments at such time (such purchases and sales shall
be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such
further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
in connection therewith), with all subsequent extensions of credit under this Agreement to be
made in accordance with the respective Pro Rata Shares, of the Lenders from time to time party
to this Agreement as provided herein.

Collateral Manager or the Borrower which conflict with any instruction received by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by
the Administrative Agent.
Section 2.11Fees.
(a)The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Collateral
Custodian Fee in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable.
(b)On each Payment Date during the Revolving Period and, if applicable, the

Commitment of each Lender) of the Non-Usage Fee.
Section 2.12Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.
(a)If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law), shall (a) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Tax or
increased Tax of any kind whatsoever (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded
Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender
in respect thereof with respect to its interest in the Collateral, or any right or obligation to make
Loan Advances hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve requirement (including 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 Lender or (c) impose any other
condition affecting the ownership interest in the Collateral conveyed to the Secured Parties
hereunder or the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, and in
each case the Administrative Agent or such Lender has made a similar determination with
respect to other facilities similarly situated other than for the reason of identifiable legal
differences between such facilities, then on the Payment Date following demand by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for such demand), and in any case the Borrower shall pay directly to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the
Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 the Administrative
-76-
Agent or any Lender 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 compliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the capital of the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which the Administrative
Agent or any such Lender could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be
material, and in each case the Administrative Agent or such Lender has made a similar
determination with respect to other facilities similarly situated other than for the reason of
identifiable legal differences between such facilities, then from time to time, on the Payment
Date following demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (which demand shall be
accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay
directly to the Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such reduction; provided that
notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.12(b) to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder
or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated
by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case
pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in law” for the purposes of
clause (i) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 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, including GAAP, 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 Transferor, the Borrower or any Secured 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 the
Administrative Agent or such Lender may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section
2.12.
(c)If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to
compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement
or other similar support to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this
Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Loan Advances hereunder (under other facilities
similarly situated other than for the reason of identifiable legal differences between such
facilities), then within twenty-two (22) days after demand by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender
for any amounts payable or paid by it.
(d)In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the
Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. The Administrative Agent or any Lender making a claim under this Section
-77-
2.12 shall submit to the Collateral Manager a written description as to such additional or
increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)If a Disruption Event with respect to any Lender occurred, such Lender
shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Advances Outstanding of the affected Lender
in respect of which Interest accrues at the Benchmark shall immediately be converted into
Advances Outstanding in respect of which Interest accrues at the Base Rate.
(f)Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of the
Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand or receive such compensation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall not be required
to compensate the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any
amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or
such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a
retroactive effect, then such six (6) 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, be
disadvantageous to such Lender. In no event will the Borrower be responsible for increased
amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 which relates to any other entities to which any Lender
provides financing.
(h)The payment of amounts under this Section 2.12 shall be on an after-Tax
basis.
(i)Other than with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event (for which
reference is made to Section 12.18), if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR”
cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly
so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower, all Loan Advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate in lieu of Daily Simple SOFR,
computed as otherwise described herein until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.
Upon receipt of such notice (and until such notice is revoked by the Administrative Agent in
writing to the Borrower), all Advances Outstanding shall bear interest at the Base Rate.
(j)If any Lender determines that any applicable lawApplicable Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loan Advances whose interest
is determined by reference to Daily Simple SOFR, or to determine to charge interest rates based
upon Daily Simple SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through
the Administrative Agent), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loan Advances
-78-
that bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay (pursuant to Section 2.3(a)) or, if
applicable, convert all Loan Advances that bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR, of such Lender
to Loan Advances that bear interest at the Base Rate, on the Payment Date therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan Advances that bear interest at Daily Simple
SOFR, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Loan Advances that bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR.
Section 2.13Taxes.
(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “Applicable
Law” includes FATCA.
(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents 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 (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such
deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable
Law, and (iii) 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 Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of
the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each
applicable Secured Party, within ten (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 Secured Party or required to
be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured 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 delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify
the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already
-79-
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to
comply with the provisions of Section 12.16(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (z) 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 this
Agreement or any other 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(e).
(f)Evidence of Payments. 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.
(g)Status of Lenders.
(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 and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable
Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower 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 Sections
2.13(g)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (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 foregoing:
(1)any Lender that is a U.S. Tax 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
-80-
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. 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 I-1 hereto 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” related to the Borrower (or its sole owner as
applicable) 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,
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 I-2 or Exhibit
I-3 hereto, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification 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 I-4 hereto 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
-81-
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 or deduction required to be made; and
(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 Applicable 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 deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(g)(ii)(4),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective
Date.
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.
(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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(h) (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(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) 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
-82-
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.13(h) 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.
(i)Survival. 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 Loan Advances and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.
Section 2.14Reinvestment; Discretionary Sales, Substitutions and Repurchases
of Loans.
(a)Reinvestment.On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as
certified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian, on any date prior
to the Revolving Period End Date (in the case of clause (i) below) or the Termination Date (in
the case of clause (ii) below), and without limiting the provisions of Section 2.7 on each
Payment Date, the Borrower may withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account
for the following purposes:
(i)to reinvest such funds in Loans to be pledged hereunder (a
Reinvestment”), so long as (1) all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section
3.2 have been satisfied, (2) each Loan acquired by the Borrower in connection with such
reinvestment shall be an Eligible Loan, (3) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and, immediately after giving effect to such Reinvestment, no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred, and (4) immediately after giving effect to such
Reinvestment, there shall not exist a Borrowing Base Deficiency; provided that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2, in the event a
Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have existed immediately prior to giving effect to such
Reinvestment, the Borrower may effect a Reinvestment so long as, immediately after
giving effect to such Reinvestment and any other sale or transfer or other action taken in
accordance with Section 2.6 substantially contemporaneous therewith, the Borrowing
Base Deficiency is reduced to zero Dollars ($0); or
(ii)to make payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in
accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.3.
Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.14(a) (as
certified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian), the
Collateral Custodian will release funds from the Principal Collection Account to the Borrower in
an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower and (B) the
amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account on such day.
(b)Substitutions. The Borrower may, subject to clauses (e) and (f) below,
replace any Loan with another Loan (each such sale and reinvestment, a “Substitution”) so long
as (i) each substitute Loan acquired by the Borrower in connection with a Substitution shall be
-83-
an Eligible Loan and (ii) all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been
satisfied with respect to each Loan to be acquired by the Borrower in connection with such
Substitution.
(c)Discretionary Sales. Upon notice by the Borrower, unless waived by the
Administrative Agent, (with a copy to the Collateral Custodian), the Borrower shall be
permitted, subject to clauses (e) and (f) below, to sell Loans (or portions thereof, each, a
Discretionary Sale”); provided that the Borrower shall make a deposit in the Collection
Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the net cash price received by the
Borrower pursuant to any Discretionary Sale promptly upon the Borrower’s receipt of such cash
price.
(d)Repurchase or Substitution of Warranty Loans. Not later than five (5)
Business Days following the earlier of (i) knowledge by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager
that any Loan constitutes a Warranty Loan or (ii) receipt by the Borrower from the
Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, the Borrower shall either:
(i)make a deposit to the Collection Account in immediately available funds
in an amount equal to (A) the Outstanding Balance of the related Loan as of the date of
the repurchase, multiplied by (B) the Purchase Price, plus, only with respect to the
repurchase of Warranty Loans, any reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the
Secured Parties with respect to such Loan; provided that the Administrative Agent shall
have the right to determine whether the amount so deposited is sufficient to satisfy the
foregoing requirements; or
(ii)substitute for such Warranty Loan a substitute Eligible Loan, provided
that all requirements with respect to Substitutions set forth in this Section 2.14 are
satisfied.
Upon receipt of written certification from the Borrower certifying to the
confirmation of the deposit of the amounts set forth in Section 2.14(d)(i) into the Collection
Account or the delivery by the Borrower of a substitute Eligible Loan for each Warranty Loan
(the date of such confirmation or delivery, the “Release Date”), such Warranty Loan and related
Underlying Assets shall be removed from the Collateral and, as applicable, the substitute
Eligible Loan and related Underlying Assets shall be included in the Collateral. On the Release
Date of each Warranty Loan, the Collateral Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
shall automatically and without further action be deemed to release to the Borrower, without
recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest and any Lien of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under the Warranty Loan
and any related Underlying Assets and all future monies due or to become due with respect
thereto; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, upon the
request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, waive the
requirement to repurchase or substitute any Loan pursuant to this Section 2.14(d).
(e)Conditions to Sales, Substitutions and Repurchases. Any Discretionary
Sale or sale pursuant to a Substitution effected pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be subject to
the satisfaction of the following conditions:
-84-

Substitution (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the
Collateral Custodian) (x) a Borrowing Base Certificate that gives effect to such
Discretionary Sale or sale pursuant to a Substitution, (y) a list of all Loans to be sold or
substituted (which may be included in the Borrowing Base Certificate referenced in
clause (x)) and (z) notice of any amount to be deposited into the Collection Account in
connection with any sale or Substitution (which may be included in the Borrowing Base
Certificate referenced in clause (x));
(ii)[reserved];
(iii)[reserved];
(iv)the representations and warranties contained in SectionSections 4.1 and
4.2 hereof shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects (except for such
representations and warranties as are qualified by materiality, a Material Adverse Effect
or any similar qualifier, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects,
and except for those representations and warranties made as of a specific date which are
true, correct, and complete as of such date) following any sale or Substitution, except to
the extent any such representation or warranty relates to an earlier date;
(v)any repayment of Advances Outstanding in connection with any sale or
Substitution of Loans hereunder shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section
2.3;
(vi)any Discretionary Sale or sale in connection with a Substitution shall be
made by the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, in a transaction (1) reflecting
arms-length market terms and (2) in which the Borrower makes no representations,
warranties or covenants and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other
party to such sale (other than that the Borrower has good title thereto, free and clear of all
Liens and has the right to sell the related Loan) (and the parties agree that the assignment
agreement form attached as an exhibit to the applicable Underlying Instrument (solely to
the extent such assignment agreement form (x) is reasonable and customary for a credit
facility of the type to which such sale relates and (y) does not contain atypical or
unusually burdensome covenants or representations and warranties in respect of the
Borrower, in each case, in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable and good faith discretion)
or any LSTA form of participation agreement shall satisfy this clause (2)); provided that
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Default would exist after
giving effect thereto, any Discretionary Sale or sale in connection with a Substitution to
an Affiliate of the Borrower shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, the Administrative Agent’s prior
written consent shall not be required for any such Discretionary Sale or sale in
connection with a Substitution that satisfies the requirement of clause (C) of Section
2.14(e)(vii).
-85-
(vii)(A) no Collateral Manager Termination Event, Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and, immediately after giving effect to any
Discretionary Sale or Substitution, as applicable, no Collateral Manager Termination
Event, Default or Event of Default shall have occurred; (B) notwithstanding anything set
forth in this Section 2.14, immediately after giving effect to any Discretionary Sale or
Substitution, as applicable, there shall not exist a Borrowing Base Deficiency; provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2, in
the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have existed immediately prior to giving
effect to a Substitution, such Borrower may effect such Substitution so long as,
immediately after giving effect to such Substitution and any other sale or transfer or other
action taken in accordance with Section 2.6 substantially contemporaneous therewith, the
Borrowing Base Deficiency shall be reduced to zero ($0); and (C) unless consented to by
the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (x) the net cash price received by the
Borrower pursuant to any Discretionary Sale, shall be equal to or greater than the
Adjusted Borrowing Value of the Loan sold in connection with such Discretionary Sale;
provided that, solely for the purpose of determining if this clause (C) has been satisfied,
with respect to any Loan for which the net cash price received by the Borrower equals or
exceeds ninety-five percent (95.0%) of the Outstanding Balance thereof, the net cash
price received by the Borrower shall be treated as if it were one hundred percent
(100.0%) of the Outstanding Balance of such Loan and (y) the Adjusted Borrowing
Value of the substitute Loan acquired by the Borrower in connection with any
Substitution shall be equal to or greater than the Adjusted Borrowing Value of the Loan
sold or otherwise transferred in connection with such Substitution; and
(viii)the Borrower and Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall
pay an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses (including reasonable
legal fees) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Custodian in
connection with any such sale, Substitution or repurchase (including, but not limited to,
expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Secured Parties and any other party having an interest in the Loan in
connection with such sale, Substitution or repurchase).
(f)Limitations on Sales, Substitutions and Repurchases.
(i)The aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Loans (other than Zero Value
Assets transferred in accordance with Section 2.14(f)(ii) below and Warranty Loans)
which are transferred by the Borrower to the Transferor or an Affiliate thereof in
connection with a Substitution, a Discretionary Sale or the transfer to the Transferor
pursuant to a Restricted Payment shall not exceed during any 12-month rolling period (or
such lesser number of months as shall have elapsed since the Effective Date) in the
aggregate twenty percent (20.00%) of the Net Purchased Loan Balance measured as of
the date of such Substitution, Discretionary Sale or Restricted Payment.
(ii)Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 2.14(f)(i) and Section
2.14(e)(vi)(1), and subject to satisfaction of all other applicable requirements set forth in
this Section 2.14 or elsewhere in this Agreement (other than the requirement that the
-86-
Borrower deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with Section 2.14(e)(i) and
Section 2.14(b)(ii) (via Section 3.2(a)), so long as no Default would exist after giving
effect thereto or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, during the Revolving
Period, or, after the Revolving Period End Date, with the consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower may transfer Loans that are Zero Value Assets to the Transferor or
an Affiliate thereof in connection with a Substitution, a Discretionary Sale or other
transfer to the Transferor pursuant to a Restricted Payment without regard to the
limitation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(i); provided however, that such transfer may not
cause the sale of Loans pursuant to the Transaction Documents to fail to qualify as a true
sale such that Winston & Strawn LLP or another legal counsel of national standing could
no longer render a customary true sale opinion with respect thereto.
(g)Notices to Lenders. If requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent
shall provide such Lender with copies of any notices and other materials received by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14 in connection with any sale, Substitution, or
repurchase of Loans. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager, on its behalf) shall deliver an
Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Custodian, (provided that delivery of a Reinvestment
Notice and a Borrowing Base Certificate on the Measurement Date immediately following such
Transaction shall satisfy this requirement) on which it may conclusively rely, to the effect that
all conditions precedent to such sale, Substitution or repurchase of Loans, as the case may be,
have been satisfied.
Section 2.15Assignment of the Sale Agreement.
The Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to, but none
of its obligations under, the Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in
connection therewith to secure the prompt and complete 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 existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby assigns to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties its right to indemnification under the
Sale Agreement. The Borrower confirms that, following the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
shall have the right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Sale Agreement and
any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the
Secured Parties.
Section 2.16Defaulting Lenders.
(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:
-87-
(i)That 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 Loan Advance in respect of which that 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 Loan Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result
of that 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that 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 Loan Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the
Loan Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied
to the payment of any Loan Advances of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or
held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to
this Section 2.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and
each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a
Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative
Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with
respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of Advances Outstanding of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the
Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loan Advances to be held on a
pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender
will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively
with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that
Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.
-88-
Section 2.17Mitigation 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,
then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loan Advances hereunder or assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender, such 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 (other than Ally Bank) 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, 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) that requires the
approval of all or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 12.1 which is
approved by the Borrower, the 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 other 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 assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loan 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.
-89-
Section 2.18Increase of Commitment; Facility Amount.
(a)At any time during the Revolving Period, provided that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Commitment for any Lender may be increased (or a
Commitment of a new Lender may be added) in connection with a corresponding increase in the
Facility Amount upon the written request of the Borrower with the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and such Lender (and with notice to the Collateral Custodian) (an
Increased Commitment”); provided that, (i) following such Increased Commitment, the Facility
Amount shall not exceed $750,000,000 (or such higher amount as agreed to by the
Administrative Agent), and (ii) any increase in the Facility Amount shall be in a minimum
amount of $25,000,000. Except for upfront fees payable to Lenders providing any Increased
Commitment, any such Increased Commitment shall be on the same terms (including the pricing
and maturity date) as, and pursuant to the documentation applicable to, the Commitments
provided pursuant to the Agreement as of the Effective Date. Prior to, or on the date of, the
effectiveness of any such Increased Commitment, if requested by the Administrative Agent or
any increasing or new Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the applicable Lender a
revised Note in an aggregate face amount equal to such Lender’s revised Commitment. The
Borrower hereby confirms that each Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, without regard to
the value or performance of the facility documented hereby or any other factor, may elect not to
increase its Commitment. Upon such increase, Annex B hereto shall be deemed to be revised to
reflect such increase in each increasing Lender’s Commitment.
(b)In connection with such increase and with the written consent of the
Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), the Borrower may add additional Persons as
Lenders. Each additional Lender shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement and a Transferee Letter.

compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any
necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it

Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any
term hereof or elsewhere to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged that (a) interests in

check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Collateral Manager shall be operative only to the extent that the Administrative Agent have
consented to such release. Promptly after delivery to the Collateral Custodian of any request for
release of documents, the Collateral Manager shall provide notice of the same to the
Administrative Agent.
(d)Shipment of Required Loan Documents. Written instructions as to the
method of shipment and shipper(s) the Collateral Custodian is directed to utilize in connection
with the transmission of Required Loan Documents in the performance of the Collateral
Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the
Administrative Agent to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Underlying
Instruments hereunder. The Collateral Manager shall arrange for the provision of such services
at the cost and expense of the Borrower (or, at the Collateral Custodian’s option, the Borrower
shall reimburse the Collateral Custodian for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses
of the Collateral Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance
against loss or damage to the Underlying Instruments as the Collateral Manager deems
appropriate.
Section 7.10Return of Required Loan Documents.
(a)The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require that the Collateral Custodian
return each Required Loan Document (as applicable), respectively (a) delivered to the Collateral
Custodian in error, (b) as to which the lien on the Underlying Asset has been so released
pursuant to Section 8.2, (c) that has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale or Substitution
pursuant to Section 2.14 or (d) that is required to be redelivered to the Borrower in connection
with the termination of this Agreement, in each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian
and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (signed by both
the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent) specifying the Collateral to be so returned
and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or
Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Collateral Custodian shall
upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly, but in any event within two Business Days, return the Underlying Instruments
so requested to the Borrower.
Section 7.11Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Collateral Portfolio.
(a)The Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian shall,
at the Borrower’s expense, provide to the Administrative Agent access to the Underlying
-144-
Instruments and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where
the Administrative Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests
of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation,
such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written
request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Collateral Manager’s and
Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures; provided that the
Administrative Agent may, and shall upon request of any Lender, permit each Lender to be
included on any such review, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule any
review on a day when Lenders desiring to participate in such review may be included. From
time to time 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.
(b)Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 7.11(a), from time to
time on request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall permit certified
public accountants or other independent auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to
conduct a review of the Underlying Instruments and all other documentation regarding the
Collateral. Up to two such reviews per fiscal year shall be at the expense of the Borrower and
additional reviews in a fiscal year shall be at the expense of the requesting Lender(s); provided
that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any such reviews,
regardless of frequency, shall be at the expense of the Borrower.
Section 7.12Collateral Custodian as Agent.
(a)The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Underlying
Instruments at any time or times in its possession, the Collateral Custodian shall be the agent of
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to
the extent not otherwise perfected) the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral
and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under
the UCC. For so long as the Collateral Custodian is the same entity as the Collateral Custodian,
the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the same rights, immunities, indemnities and
protections afforded to the Collateral Custodian hereunder.
ARTICLE VIII
SECURITY INTEREST
Section 8.1Grant of Security Interest.
(a)This Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the Loan 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 Effective Date to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and
continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (in
-145-
each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all Accounts, Cash,
General Intangibles, Instruments and Investment Property and any and all of the following
property (the “Collateral”):
(i)all Loans, Permitted Investments and Equity Securities, all payments
thereon or with respect thereto and all contracts to purchase, commitment letters,
confirmations and due bills relating to any Loans, Permitted Investments or Equity
Securities;
(ii)the Accounts and all Cash and Financial Assets credited thereto and all
income from the investment of funds therein;
(iii)all Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party;
(iv)all Cash and other funds;
(v)all Collections, rights in Underlying Assets and Underlying Instruments,
Insurance Policies, all Required Loan Documents and related records and assets;
(vi)all accounts, accessions, profits, income benefits, proceeds, substitutions
and replacements, whether voluntary or involuntary, of and to any of the property of the
Borrower described in the preceding clauses; and
(vii)any and all other property of any type or nature owned by the Borrower;
in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and
wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt and complete 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 existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or
contingent, including 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 (A) any
Excluded Amounts, (B) any amounts received by the Borrower from an Obligor following the
sale of the related Loan by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 which the Borrower is required
to pay to the purchaser of such Loan, and (C) any property to the extent that such grant of a
security interest is prohibited by any Applicable Law not in effect as of the date hereof or
requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable
Law, provided that (x) immediately at such time as the prohibition shall no longer be applicable,
such security interest shall attach immediately to such assets and (y) the Collateral includes any
Proceeds of any such assets. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured
Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent
or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Each of the Administrative Agent and each
Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their 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 Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any
-146-
obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or
compliance, with such agreement. The reasonable and documented expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together
with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Loan Advances, shall be payable by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand 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 Administrative Agent or any of
the other Secured Parties 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, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under any applicable
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to
the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall
not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any applicable Collateral,
and (iii) none of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligations
or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent
or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the
Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower, the Collateral
Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian and each Lender hereby agree to
treat, and to cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat, each Note 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 8.2Release of Lien on Collateral.
At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in
respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection
Account, (ii) such Loan has been the subject of a Discretionary Sale, Substitution or a sale of a
Warranty Loan or a Zero Value Asset pursuant to Section 2.14 or otherwise sold or transferred in
accordance with this Agreement (in each case, the proceeds of which have been deposited in the
Collection Account) or (iii) this Agreement terminates and the Obligations are paid in full in
cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted)
the lien and security interest granted under the Transaction Documents in favor of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be released automatically without any
further action by any Person. In connection with any sale of such Collateral or such release, the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will after the deposit by the Collateral
Manager of the Proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the
Borrower, execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager any assignments, bills of sale,
termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Collateral Manager may
reasonably request in order to evidence the release of such Collateral; provided that, the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty,
-147-
express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such sale or transfer
and assignment. Nothing in this section shall diminish the Collateral Manager’s obligations
pursuant to Section 6.5 with respect to the Proceeds of any sale.
Section 8.3Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and
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 Administrative Agent and Secured
Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies set forth in
Section 9.2.
Section 8.4Waiver of Certain Laws.
Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees, to the full extent that it
may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim
or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now
or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent,
hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of
the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof,
immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the
Collateral Manager, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby
waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and
all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any
such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose
the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such
parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.
Section 8.5Power of Attorney.
Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name,
place and stead and at the Borrower’s 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
during the continuance of an Event of Default, including 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 and the Collateral Manager 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 Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm
any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or
such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be
designated in any such request.

any portion of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation)

the Collateral, an amount sufficient to discharge the amount of the Obligations attributable to
-152-
such portion of the Collateral); or (ii) the Required Lenders direct such sale and liquidation. 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 notification. All cash Proceeds
received by the Administrative Agent 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 Collection Account and to be applied
pursuant to Section 2.8. The occurrence of a Termination Date as defined in clauses (a) through

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.1Indemnities by the Borrower.
(a)Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have
hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Securities Intermediary, the Secured Parties,
the Lenders and each of their respective successors, assigns and directors, officers, employees,
agents and advisors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and
against any and all damages, losses, claims (whether brought by or involving the Borrower or
any other third party), liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified
Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party and other non-monetary
damages of any such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement (including enforcement of the indemnification obligations hereunder) or having an
interest in the Collateral or in respect of any Loan included in the Collateral, excluding,
however, any Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
(b)Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section
10.1shall be paid by the Borrower to the Indemnified Party on the Payment Date following such
Person’s demand therefor, accompanied by a reasonably detailed description in writing of the
related damage, loss, claim, liability and related costs and expenses.
(c)If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.1
is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless,
then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower
on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to contribute
in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 10.1(a).
-153-
(d)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.1 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral
Custodian or the Securities Intermediary and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.2Indemnities by the Collateral Manager.
(a)Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have
hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Collateral Manager hereby agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Party, forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts
(except to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
judgment) awarded against or incurred by any such Indemnified Party by reason of the Collateral
Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance or failure to perform any
of its obligations under this Agreement, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final non-appealable judgment. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be
enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof.
(b)Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section
10.2shall be paid by the Collateral Manager to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business
Days following such Person’s demand therefor.
(c)The Collateral Manager shall have no liability for making indemnification
hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or
uncollected Loans.
(d)The obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Section 10.2 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian and
the termination of this Agreement.
(e)Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not be payable
from the Collateral.
Section 10.3Taxes.
Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any
Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 11.1Appointment.
Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as
its agent and bailee for purposes of perfection pursuant to the applicable UCC and hereby further
authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees (including the
Collateral Custodian) to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties. Each
-154-
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 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 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.
The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the
Transaction Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and
enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XI for
purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
under the Transaction Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the
direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Article XI and Articles X and XII (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
were the “collateral agent” under the Transaction Documents) as if set forth in full herein with
respect thereto.
Section 11.2Standard of Care; Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)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.
-155-
(b)The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated
hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required
to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other
Transaction Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or
Applicable Law; and
(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to
or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity.
(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe
in good faith shall be necessary) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.
The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Collateral
Manager, the Borrower or a Lender.
(d)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth
in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.3The Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as the Administrative Agent under or in
-156-
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or
their own respective gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan
Party), 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 any Loan Party or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (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; (v) may rely upon and 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, or upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the
proper Person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan
Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such
Loan Advance.
Section 11.4Credit 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 11.5Indemnification 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; provided that, the Lenders shall
not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s
-157-
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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 out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that
such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the 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  The Successor Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the
Lenders, with the approval of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default (which approval of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the successor
administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term
“Administrative Agent” means such successor administrative agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be
terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Sections 12.9 and 12.11 shall
continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Any resignation by Ally Bank as
Administrative Agent shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender unless otherwise
expressly provided in writing by Ally Bank. If Ally Bank resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall
retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to any
Swingline Advance made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Advances or fund risk participations in
Swingline Advances that are outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation (but not
after such date) pursuant to Section 2.2(g). Upon the appointment by the Lenders of a successor
Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a
Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender and (ii) the retiring Swingline
Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Transaction Documents.
Section 11.7  Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply
-158-
to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facility as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.8Payments by the Administrative Agent.
Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, 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 12:00 noon (New York City Time)
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. The Administrative Agent
shall pay amounts owing to each Lender in accordance with the written instructions delivered by
each such Lender to the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.9Collateral Matters.
Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion:
(a)to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Transaction
Document (i) upon the termination of the Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in
connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or (iii)
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 12.1; and
(b)to subordinate or release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by
the Administrative Agent under any Transaction Document to the holder of any other Lien on
the Collateral.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 11.9. In each case as specified in
this Section 11.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver
to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to
evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted
under the Transaction Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, in each case in
accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this Section 11.9.
Section 11.10 Erroneous Payments.
(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any
Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender,
Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a
-159-
Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion
(whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any
funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment
Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly
transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient
(whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf)
(any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of
principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous
Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion
thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative
Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 11.10 and held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or,
with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such
Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or
such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), 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 (in the currency so received) together with
interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) 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 in same day funds 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. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient
under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or
Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party
(and each of their respective successors and assigns) hereby further agrees that if it receives a
payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment
of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) 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 this
Agreement or 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), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other
such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in
whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding
clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent
written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and
mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case,
with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient
that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1)
Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described
-160-
in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its
receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable
detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
11.10(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 11.10(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment
Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 11.10(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous
Payment has been made.
(c)Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured
Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under any Transaction Document with
respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the
Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(d)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not
recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with
immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment
Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then
effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties
hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loan Advances (but not its
Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made
(the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return
Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of
the Loan Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the
Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such calculated at par
plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee set forth in Section 12.16(a)(5) to
be deemed waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with
the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent
applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to
a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect
to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes
evidencing such Loan Advances to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of
such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing
assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have
acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the
Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to
such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a
Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding,
for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this
Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender (D)
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents
required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E)
the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loan Advances
subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.For the avoidance of doubt, no
-161-
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.
(ii)  Subject to Section 12.16 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment
consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loan Advances acquired pursuant to
an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such
sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be
reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan Advance (or portion thereof), and
the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such
Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In
addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x)
shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest,
received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from
such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that
any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) in the sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent be reduced by any amount specified by the
Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or
portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) for any reasons, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all
the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient
who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such
Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Transaction Documents with respect to
such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’
Obligations under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation
Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loan Advances that have been
assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and
(y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any
Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 11.10
shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of
increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the
amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such
Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the
avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any
such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment
that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any
Account for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable lawApplicable Law, no Payment
Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and each Payment Recipient
hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, 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 Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
-162-
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.10
shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or
obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any
Transaction Document.

claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
-165-

judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender or any other Person for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages).

market-related activities with respect to such Person’s securities. The Borrower hereby agrees

clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word
“PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Syndicate
Communications “PUBLIC”, the Borrower shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders to treat such Syndicate Communications as not containing any material
non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or their respective
securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (iii) all Syndicate
Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through the Platform;
and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Syndicate Communications that
are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform
designated as “Non-Public Information”.

assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable lawsApplicable Laws,
including Federal and state securities laws, and containing payment instruction

(b)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its lending offices, a copy of each transfer pursuant to Section
12.16(a) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loan Advances owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Transfer by a Lender of
its rights hereunder or under any Note may be effected only by the recording by the
Administrative Agent of the identity of the transferee in the Register. The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, 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

interest) of each participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loan Advances or other obligations
under the Transaction Documents (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

Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment,
Loan Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive 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.

Section 2.13(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.16(a); provided that

payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable
participation; provided, further, that the terms of any such participation shall not entitle the
participant to direct such Lender as to the manner in which it votes in connection with any
amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement or any waiver or consent with

subject matter thereof is one as to which the consent of all Lenders is required in order to

hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into
this Agreement for all purposes.
Section 12.18 Benchmark Replacement Settings.
(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition
Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the
then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to
a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to
all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such
time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this
Section 12.18(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to
make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document.
(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event and its related Benchmark Transition Start Date, (B) the implementation of any
Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section
12.18(d) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability
Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent
or Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 12.18, including any determination with
respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event,
circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection,
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole
discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 12.18.
(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 the then-current Benchmark is a term
rate and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other
-177-
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 or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent
may modify the definition of “Accrual Period” 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 or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark
(including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition
of “Accrual Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously
removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability
Period, all Loan Advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate in lieu of Daily Simple SOFR,
computed as otherwise described herein; provided, however, the Administrative Agent may, in
consultation with the Borrower, establish an alternative interest rate with respect to such Loan
Advances during the pendency of such period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or
at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component
of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as
applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
Section 12.19 Divisions.
Any reference herein to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation,
consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply
to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited
liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger,
transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale or transfer, or similar
term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, (i) any division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person
hereunder, and each resulting division of any limited liability company that, prior to such
division, is a Subsidiary, a Loan Party, a joint venture or any other like term shall remain a
Subsidiary, a Loan Party, a joint venture, or other like term, respectively, after giving effect to
such division, to the extent required under this Agreement, and any resulting divisions of such
Persons shall remain subject to the same restrictions and corresponding exceptions applicable to
the pre-division predecessor of such divisions, and (ii) in no event shall the Borrower be
permitted to effectuate a division.
Section 12.20 Judgment Currency.
This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or an
Approved Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in
New York City, New York or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the
Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account
in all events relating to Loan Advances denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an
-178-
amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or
otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and
transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the
Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency
into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall
be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent
could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next
preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in
respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall,
notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment be discharged
only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum
adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified
Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower
hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment agrees to indemnify
such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified
Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the
Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and
transferred.
Section 12.21 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 Effective 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 any other Transaction
Document, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement and/or any 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
any 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.
(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 any 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 any other
Transaction Document were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United
States.
Section 12.22 USA PATRIOT ACT.
Each Secured Party subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower
that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify
-179-
and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Secured Party to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
