ARTICLE II

COMMITMENT; ADVANCE

Section 2.1. The Notes. On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Issuer shall issue and shall request the Trustee to authenticate the Class A-VF Notes, which the Issuer shall deliver to each Funding Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group on the Closing Date. Such Class A-VF Note for each Purchaser Group shall be dated the Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the related Funding Agent or its nominee, as agent for the related Purchasers, or in such other name or nominee as such Funding Agent may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the Class A-VF Commitment for such Purchaser Group, and shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The Class A-VF Notes issued to the Funding Agent of each Purchaser Group shall evidence the Class A-VF advances made by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A-VF Notes shall only be issued as Certificated Notes.

Section 2.2. Advances. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on any Business Day prior to the Class A-VF Commitment Termination Date, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may request a loan advance (any such loan advance made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a), a “Draw” and the date on which such Draw is made, a “Draw Date”) to be made by the Purchasers in accordance with this Article II. Any Draw so requested by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) and evidenced by the delivery of a Borrowing Notice to be made on a Draw Date shall be allocated to the Purchaser Groups pro rata based on their respective Class A-VF Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture, each Eligible Conduit Investor, if any, may, in its sole discretion, and if such Eligible Conduit Investor determines that it will not make (or it does not in fact make) a Class A-VF Advance or any portion of a Class A-VF Advance, its related Committed Note Purchaser (s) shall or, if there is no Eligible Conduit Investor with respect to any Purchaser Group, the Committed Note Purchaser (s) with respect to such Purchaser Group shall lend to the Issuer its share of the requested Draw, pro rata in accordance with its respective Class A-VF Commitment (each Purchaser’s pro rata share of a Draw, its “Class A-VF Advance”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, at no time will a Conduit Investor be obligated to make Class A-VF Advances hereunder. If at any time any Conduit Investor is not an Eligible Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor shall promptly notify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the related Funding Agent and the Issuer) thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any Committed Note Purchaser be required to make such Class A-VF Advance to the extent that after giving effect thereto (i) the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Class A-VF Commitment, (ii) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Class A-VF Advances Outstanding would exceed such Committed Note Purchaser’s Class A-VF Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate

Outstanding Amount of the Debt would exceed the Aggregate Borrowing Base, or (iv) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Debt would exceed the Class A Borrowing Base. The obligation of each Committed Note Purchaser to fund its Class A-VF Advance of any Draw shall be several from that of each other Committed Note Purchaser, and the failure of any Committed Note Purchaser to so make such amount available to the Issuer shall not relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser of its obligation hereunder.

(d) On any date during the Reinvestment Period on which the Class A Debt is repaid or redeemed other than in connection with a Class A-VF Prepayment, the aggregate Class A-VF Commitments shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the aggregate Class A-VF Commitments immediately prior to such reduction and (ii) the product of (1) the aggregate amount of the Class A-VF Commitments immediately prior to such repayment and (2) a ratio the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Debt redeemed or repaid on such date and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Debt immediately prior to such date (such that, after giving effect to such reduction in the Class A-VF Commitments, the ratio of the sum of Class A-VF Commitments to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Debt at such time is the same as it was immediately prior to such payment). The Maximum Class A-VF Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any such reduction of the Class A-VF Commitments. Any such reduction of the Class A-VF Commitments will be applied to the Class A-VF Commitment of each Purchaser pro rata in accordance with each Purchaser’s Class A-VF Commitment. Any reduction or termination of the Maximum Class A-VF Commitment and the Class A-VF Commitment shall be permanent. Following the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Maximum Class A-VF Commitment and the Class A-VF Commitment shall be reduced to zero.

Section 2.3. Advance Procedures. (a) During the Reinvestment Period, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to a proposed Draw, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) will provide notice to each Funding Agent (with a copy to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and the Trustee) in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.2 (each, a “Borrowing Notice”) of the Issuer’s intention to effect a Draw under this Agreement. Each Borrowing Notice will specify (i) the Draw Date, (ii) the amount of the requested Draw, (iii) each Purchaser Group’s Class A-VF Advance with respect to such Draw and (iv) a borrowing base certificate in a form satisfactory to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (which shall include a calculation of the Aggregate Borrowing Base and the Class A Borrowing Base in accordance with the terms hereof). Each Draw shall be in an aggregate amount not exceeding the lesser of (x) $500,000 (and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof) and (y) the aggregate amount of the unused portion of the Class A-VF Commitments. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable. If any Borrowing Notice is received by a Funding Agent after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, such Borrowing Notice shall be deemed to be received by such Funding Agent at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day Each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Conduit Investor, if any, of any Borrowing Notice and shall promptly thereafter notify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the related Committed Note Purchaser (s) whether such Conduit Investor has determined to make all or any portion of the Class A-VF Advances in such Draw that are to be made by its Purchaser Group. The applicable Purchasers will fund such Draw on the applicable Draw Date specified in such notice. The Collateral Manager shall promptly notify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and the Trustee of any Draw made hereunder and of the adjustment of the Class A-VF Advances

Outstanding resulting therefrom. By 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Draw Date, the applicable Purchasers shall transfer, by wire transfer or otherwise, but in any event in immediately available funds, the amount of their respective Class A-VF Advances to be made on the Draw Date, to, or at the direction of, the Issuer, as set forth in the Borrowing Notice. Payments received by the Issuer after 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day will be deemed to have been received by the Issuer on its next following Business Day.

(b) In the event that at any time during the Reinvestment Period, either (i) a Purchaser defaults in its obligation to fund any portion of its Class A-VF Advance or (ii) a Purchaser no longer satisfies the Purchaser Rating Criteria, and in either case, and does not within two Business Days thereafter deposit cash to the applicable Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account in an amount equal to the undrawn amount of such Committed Note Purchaser’s Class A-VF Commitment, then the Issuer will have the right to replace such Purchaser with an Eligible Assignee (by requiring such replaced Purchaser to transfer all of its rights and obligations hereunder, including its rights and obligations in respect of its Class A-VF Advances to another entity at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Class A-VF Advances together with accrued interest thereon and any accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees and Class A-VF Note Additional Amounts with respect thereto). For so long as such Purchaser has not been replaced, any payments of Class A Principal Distribution Amount or accrued interest otherwise payable with respect to such Purchaser’s Class A-VF Advances Outstanding and any payments of a Commitment Fee otherwise payable to such Purchaser, shall be remitted to the Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account for such Purchaser to secure the obligation of such Purchaser to fund its Class A-VF Advances with respect to future Draws, and applied by the Collateral Manager to fund such Draws.

(c) From and after the date on which a Purchaser deposits cash into a Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account and until the earliest to occur of:

(i) the assignment by such Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its rights and obligations in respect of such Purchaser’s Class A-VF Advances;

(ii) the Stated Maturity; and

(iii) the Class A-VF Commitment Termination Date;

(x) the obligation of such Purchaser to fund any Class A-VF Advance will be satisfied by the Collateral Manager withdrawing funds from such Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account (and the Collateral Manager will provide prior notice of any such withdrawal to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and the Trustee), (y) all payments of principal with respect to such Class A-VF Advances will be made by depositing the related funds into such Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account and (z) the Collateral Manager will have full authority to withdraw funds from such Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account at the time of, and in connection with, the making of any such Class A-VF Advance or any payment described in the foregoing clauses of this paragraph and to deposit funds (with prior notice thereof to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and the Trustee) into such Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account, all in accordance with the terms of and for the purposes set forth herein and in the Indenture.

Section 2.4. Records. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of the amount of Class A-VF Advances made by each Purchaser Group hereunder, the date of each such Class A-VF Advance, the date and amount of each repayment of principal hereunder, the current Class A-VF Advances Outstanding for each Purchaser Group and the current Class A-VF Advances Outstanding. Such records shall be conclusive evidence of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding for each Purchaser Group absent manifest or demonstrable error.

Section 2.5. Principal Repayments. (a) On each Payment Date, to the extent funds are then available therefor, the amounts specified in Section 11.1(a)(ii)(B) of the Indenture shall be distributable to the Class A Holders. The Purchasers’ ratable share of such amount (the “Class A-VF Principal Allocation”) will be based on the relative balances of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding and the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Debt set forth in the Distribution Report for the related Interest Accrual Period.

(b) Any prepayment of principal of the Class A-VF Advances is referred to hereinafter as a “Class A-VF Prepayment”. A Class A-VF Prepayment may be made on any Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments as described in the Indenture. During the Reinvestment Period, the Issuer, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, may also apply amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Reinvestment Collection Subaccount to reduce the principal amounts of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding on any Business Day other than a Payment Date (the date of such a Class A-VF Prepayment, an “Interim Payment Date”) subject to the following: (i) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, no Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event will have occurred and be continuing or would result from such prepayment, (ii) the Borrowing Base Condition is satisfied as of such date after giving effect to such prepayment, (iii) the Collateral Manager has reasonably determined that there will be sufficient amounts on the next Payment Date to pay the amounts described in clause (A) under Section 11.1(a)(ii) of the Indenture and (iv) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) has certified to the Trustee and the Class A-VF Administrative Agent that the conditions to such repayment have been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, any principal amounts prepaid pursuant to a Class A-VF Prepayment shall not result in a reduction of the Class A-VF Commitment and may be reborrowed in accordance with Section 2.2.

(c) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer must provide not less than two Business Days’ notice to each Purchaser and the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (with a copy to Trustee) in connection with any Class A-VF Prepayment to be made on an Interim Payment Date. The aggregate principal amount of any Class A-VF Prepayment (other than any prepayment of principal required to be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments) of the Class A-VF Advances (taken as a whole) will be at least $500,000 (and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof) (or, if the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding is less than $500,000, such lesser amount), and any Class A-VF Prepayment will be made by the Issuer pro rata to all Purchasers with outstanding Class A-VF Advances. The Collateral Manager shall promptly notify the Trustee of any Class A-VF Prepayment made on an Interim Payment Date and of the adjustment of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding resulting therefrom.

(d) In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding are due and payable in full on the Stated Maturity date.

Section 2.6. Payment of Interest, Etc.

(a) Payment of Interest. The Class A-VF Advances will bear interest at the interest rate as determined in accordance with Section 2.9. Each Committed Note Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Commitment Fee on the undrawn portion of its Class A-VF Commitment until the Class A-VF Commitment Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.6(b). The Issuer hereby promises, solely to the extent that there are funds then or thereafter available therefor pursuant to clause (C) of Section 11.1(a)(i) of the Indenture, to pay accrued interest, Class A-VF Note Additional Amounts and Commitment Fees computed as described herein and in the Indenture. Accrued and unpaid accrued interest and Commitment Fees in respect of any Interest Accrual Period shall be due and payable on the corresponding Payment Date.

(b) Commitment Fee; Computation of Interest and Fees. The Issuer agrees to pay to each Funding Agent, for the account of the applicable Committed Note Purchaser, in arrears on each Payment Date, the Commitment Fee for each day during the applicable Interest Accrual Period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Class A-VF Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days occurring during the related Interest Accrual Period over a year comprised of 360 days. If any Commitment Fees are not paid in full on the related Payment Date, such unpaid portion of the Commitment Fees will accrue interest at the highest rate then applicable to the Class A-VF Notes (or if there are no borrowings then outstanding, on each day the Interest Rate applicable to the Class A Debt). Any unpaid Commitment Fees plus the amount of interest which accrues on such unpaid Commitment Fees (collectively, the “Commitment Fee Shortfall”) will be payable on the next Payment Date. In addition, the failure to pay any Commitment Fees in full on any Payment Date will constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

(c) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or in the case of interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the Prime Rate, such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Class A-VF Advance shall be computed on a daily basis for each day during each Interest Accrual Period, based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Class A-VF Advance as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable ABR or Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Maximum Lawful Rate. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the rate of interest payable by any Person under this Agreement shall not exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under any applicable law.

Section 2.7. Payments; Taxes. (a) Making of Payments. All payments of accrued interest, fees and principal of the Class A-VF Advance and all other amounts due to the Purchasers, hereunder or under the Indenture, shall be paid in immediately available funds to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, and by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group on each Payment Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments. Payments shall be made to each Funding Agent at its account in the United States specified on Schedule B or in the applicable joinder or amendment documentation

or such other account as such Funding Agent shall designate in writing to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Class A-VF Administrative Agent.

All amounts payable to any Funding Agent or a Purchaser hereunder or with respect to the Class A-VF Notes shall be made to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Person, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent will promptly, and in any event by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as its receipt or deemed receipt of the same, distribute to the applicable Funding Agent for the benefit of the applicable Person, or upon the order of the applicable Funding Agent for the benefit of the applicable Person, its pro rata share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment by wire transfer in like funds as received.

(b) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(c) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Issuer under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Issuer 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(d) Payment of Other Taxes by the Issuer. The Issuer shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

(e) Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer shall indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 Issuer by a Purchaser (with a copy to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent), or by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, within 15 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser (but only to the extent that the Issuer has not already indemnified the Class A-VF Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without

limiting the obligation of the Issuer to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Purchaser’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 7.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Class A-VF 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 Purchaser by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to the Purchaser from any other source against any amount due to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).

(g) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Issuer to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section, the Issuer shall deliver to the Class A-VF 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent.

(h) Status of Purchasers. (i) Any Purchaser 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 Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent as will enable the Issuer or the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(h)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Purchaser that is a United States Tax Person shall deliver to the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by executed copies of 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 2.6-2 or Exhibit 2.6-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Purchaser is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.6-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding 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 Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding 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 Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent as may be necessary for the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Each Purchaser 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 Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(j) 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 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), 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 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 paragraph (i) (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 paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(k) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights

by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Class A-VF Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section 2.8. Increased Costs, Etc.

(a) If any Purchaser, any Person owning, directly or indirectly, any Purchaser that is a bank, or the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (each such Person, an “Affected Party”) (1) incurs or suffers any Increased Costs as a result of a Regulatory Change relating to its Class A-VF Commitment, the Class A-VF Advances contemplated hereby or the funding of any Class A-VF Advance, then, upon written demand by such Affected Party in accordance with Section 2.8(e), such amounts will be included in the Class A-VF Note Additional Amount payable on the next succeeding Payment Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments, solely to the extent that funds are then or thereafter available therefor pursuant to clauses (C) and (H) of Section 11.1(a)(i) of the Indenture and clauses (A) and (C) of Section 11.1(a)(ii) of the Indenture in such amounts as will ensure that the net amount actually received by such Affected Party will compensate such Affected Party for such new or increased cost or such reduced return; provided that each Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs payable pursuant to this Section 2.8(a), it being understood that any such amounts not paid on any Payment Date as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Payment Date; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any failure by the Borrower to pay Increased Costs on any Payment Date due to the unavailability of funds therefor pursuant to Priority of Payments, shall not constitute an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than six months prior to the date such Affected Party first notifies the Issuer of its intention to demand compensation therefor under this Section 2.8 (the “Lookback Period”) unless (x) the Affected Party gives such notice to the Issuer not later than six months after the Affected Party first has actual knowledge of the application of such Increased Cost; provided that if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Increased Costs is retroactive, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof or (y) the payment for such period was demanded by the Affected Party during the Lookback Period, but remained accrued and unpaid due to the unavailability of funds pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Any Purchaser claiming any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.7 or any Affected Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) agrees to use its reasonable efforts to designate a different office or branch of such Purchaser or Affected Party, as applicable, as its lending office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts to be paid by the Issuer and would not otherwise subject such Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser.

(c) If the Issuer is required to pay Increased Costs to any Purchaser hereunder, or if the Issuer is required to pay any additional amounts to any Purchaser or governmental authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.7, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, in the Collateral Manager’s sole discretion, may require such Purchaser to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, without recourse, all or part of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under such Purchaser’s Class A-VF Advances to another Person (provided that the Issuer identifies a Person that would otherwise be eligible hereunder to purchase

such Class A-VF Advances and is ready, willing and able to be an assignee with respect thereto, and such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter) which shall assume such assigned obligations; provided that:

(i) the assignee has paid to such Purchaser in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued and unpaid to the date of such payment on the Class A-VF Advances funded by it hereunder and all other amounts owed to it hereunder, including, without limitation, any Commitment Fee and any Class A-VF Note Additional Amounts that would be owing if such Class A-VF Advances were prepaid on the date of such assignment;

(ii) such assignment does not conflict with any law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority; and

(iii) such Purchaser is indemnified by the Issuer for any cost, expense, or other liabilities (but excluding loss of profits) incurred as a result of any such transfer or assignment.

The reasonable expenses of any such transfer or assignment shall be borne by the Issuer and shall be paid only to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(d) As soon as practical, and in any event within 30 days after learning of any event occurring after the date hereof which could reasonably be expected to entitle an Affected Party to compensation pursuant to Section 2.8(a), the applicable Purchaser shall notify the Issuer in writing. The Purchaser or Affected Party claiming compensation under such Sections shall deliver to the Issuer, no later than the Determination Date day related to such Payment Date of which compensation is requested, a notice of the amount of compensation being claimed, accompanied by a statement prepared by such Purchaser or Affected Party, as applicable, with due care and in good faith setting forth the basis and the calculation of the amount (in reasonable detail).

Section 2.9. Interest.

(a) To the extent that a Class A-VF Advance is funded or maintained by a Conduit Investor through the issuance of Commercial Paper, such Class A-VF Advance shall bear interest at the CP Rate applicable to such Conduit Investor. To the extent that, and only for so long as, a Class A-VF Advance is funded or maintained by a Conduit Investor through means other than the issuance of Commercial Paper (based on its determination in good faith that it is unable to raise or is precluded or prohibited from raising, or that it is not advisable to raise, funds through the issuance of Commercial Paper in the commercial paper market of the United States to finance its advance or maintenance of such Class A-VF Advance or any portion thereof (which determination may be based on any allocation method employed in good faith by such Conduit Investor), including by reason of market conditions or by reason of insufficient availability under any of its Program Support Agreements or the downgrading of any of its Program Support Providers), such Class A-VF Advance shall be, subject to this Section 2.9, an ABR Advance. Each Class A-VF Advance funded or maintained by a Committed Note Purchaser shall be, subject to this Section 2.9, a SOFR Advance and shall bear interest in accordance with the definition thereof.

(b) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Class A-VF Notes remain outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period on the related Determination Date (the “Class A-VF Administrative Agent”). The Issuer hereby appoints MUFG Bank, Ltd. as Class A-VF Administrative Agent. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent may be removed by the Issuer or Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time with the consent of the Purchaser Groups holding more than 50% of the Class A-VF Commitments in their reasonable discretion. If the Class A-VF Administrative Agent is unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer or Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, and the holders of the Class A-VF Notes will promptly appoint a Class A-VF Administrative Agent consented to by Purchaser Groups holding more than 50% of the Class A-VF Commitments in their reasonable discretion, which replacement Class A-VF Administrative Agent does not control and is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or their respective affiliates.

(c) The Class A-VF Administrative Agent will determine the Benchmark and each Funding Agent shall determine the CP Rate for its Conduit Investor (and notify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent of such rate) on each Interest Determination Date, and the Class A-VF Administrative will provide notice of the interest and fees payable to the Class A-VF Purchasers to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Manager. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent will also specify to the Issuer the quotations upon which each of the Benchmark and the CP Rate is based for such Interest Determination Date and notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Benchmark, together with its reasons therefor. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent’s determination of the Benchmark and, if applicable, each Funding Agent’s determination of the CP Rate, for any Interest Determination Date will (in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error) be final and binding upon all parties.

(d) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Issuer, will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Issuer and the Funding Agents of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(e) If, on or prior to any Interest Determination Date for any SOFR Advance, (i) the Class A-VF Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or any Funding Agent determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to its Committed Note Purchasers of making and maintaining such Class A-VF Advance, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Issuer and each Funding Agent. Upon notice thereof, any obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers to make SOFR Advances, shall be suspended until the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (with respect to

clause (b), at the instruction of the applicable Funding Agent) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, all Class A-VF Advances shall be ABR Advances (without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”) until the Class A-VF Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(f) If any Funding Agent determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Committed Note Purchaser or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Class A-VF Advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Funding Agent to the Issuer (through the Class A-VF Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), all Class A-VF Advances shall be ABR Advances (without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”) until each affected Funding Agent notifies the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and the Issuer that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Funding Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Class A-VF Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from any Funding Agent.

(h) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Issuer, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(i) The Class A-VF Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Issuer and the Funding Agents of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent will notify the Issuer of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.9(k) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or, if applicable,

any Funding Agent, 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.

(j) During a Benchmark Unavailability Period, all Draws and Class A-VF Advances shall be ABR Advances.

(k) 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), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Class A-VF Administrative Agent may modify the applicable period for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Class A-VF Administrative Agent may modify the applicable period for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

Section 2.10. Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account.

(a) The Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee, shall, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, establish and maintain the Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account for each Funding Agent. Each Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account shall be held in an account which satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 10.3 of the Indenture. The Trustee may invest any amounts on deposit in any Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account in Eligible Investments maturing on the day following the date of acquisition thereof (collectively, the “Class A-VF Eligible Investments”) at the written direction of the Collateral Manager (which may be in the form of standing instructions). Investment earnings received during each Interest Accrual Period in respect of Class A-VF Eligible Investments in a Funding Agent’s Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account will be paid by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent directly to such Funding Agent, for distribution to the related Committed Note Purchaser, on the related Payment Date. In the absence of such instructions, such funds will remain uninvested.

(b) With respect to any Purchaser that (i) has defaulted in its obligation to fund any portion of its Class A-VF Advance, (ii) has not deposited cash to the applicable Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account within two Business Days thereafter and (iii) has not been replaced by the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.3(b), the related Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account will be funded by any payments of Class A Principal Distribution Amount or accrued

interest otherwise payable with respect to such Purchaser’s Class A-VF Advances Outstanding and any payments of a Commitment Fee otherwise payable to such Purchaser. Amounts on deposit in a Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account with respect to a Purchaser shall secure the obligation of such Purchaser to fund its Class A-VF Advances with respect to future Draws, and applied by the Collateral Manager to fund such Draws.

(c) Each Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account will be maintained until the earliest to occur of (i) the Stated Maturity of the Class A-VF Notes, (ii) the termination of the Class A-VF Commitments, (iii) the assignment by a Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under its Class A-VF Advances or (iv) it again satisfies the Purchaser Rating Criteria; upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee (or the Paying Agent on its behalf) to withdraw all amounts on deposit in such Class A-VF Purchaser Collateral Account for distribution to the applicable Purchaser.

Section 2.13. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Purchaser, any other Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser or other Secured Party (any such Purchaser, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Class A-VF 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Class A-VF 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 Purchaser, 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 2.13 and held in trust for the benefit of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, and such Purchaser 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 Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Class A-VF Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Class A-VF 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). A notice from the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), 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 Class A-VF 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 Class A-VF 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Purchaser 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 Class A-VF 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 Purchaser 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 Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Class A-VF Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to clause (a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Purchaser or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent to such Purchaser or Secured Party under any Transaction Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Class A-VF Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Class A-VF 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 reason, 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 Purchaser or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Purchaser or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Transaction Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Issuer; provided that this Section 2.13 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 Secured Obligations of the Issuer relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Secured Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Class A-VF 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Transaction Document), the Issuer for the purpose of making a payment on the Secured Obligations.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the redemption of all of the Notes in whole and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Section 7.2. Binding Effect; Assignability. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Issuer, each Purchaser, each Funding Agent, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Issuer may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein without the prior written consent of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, and no Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto

shall be null and void). Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Issuer without the prior express written consent of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall be void.

(b) Assignments by Committed Note Purchasers. Any Committed Note Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Class A-VF Commitments and Advances Outstanding); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) The amount of the Class A-VF Commitment (which for this purpose includes Class A-VF Advances Outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Class A-VF Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Class A-VF Advances of the assigning Purchaser subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the assignment is delivered to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the applicable assignment and assumption agreement effecting such assignment, as of the Trade Date) shall (A) in the case of (1) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Committed Note Purchaser’s Class A-VF Commitment and its Class A-VF Advances Outstanding, (2) contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (B) of this Section 7.2(b)(i), in the aggregate, or (3) an assignment to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund, not be subject to a minimum; and (B) in any case not described in clause (A) of this Section 7.2(b)(i), be no less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Committed Note Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Class A-VF Advances and/or the Class A-VF Commitment assigned.

(iii) No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser (including any related Eligible Conduit Investor) or an Approved Fund; provided that the Issuer shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Class A-VF Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required; and

(C) no such assignment shall be made to (A) the Issuer or the Issuer’s Affiliates or (B) to a natural Person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement, and the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Purchaser of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Purchaser of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. In the event the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Purchaser assigns all of its right, title and interest hereunder and under all other Transaction Documents, including its portion of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding and interest thereon, all references in the Transaction Documents to “Purchaser,” “Class A-VF Administrative Agent” and “Affected Party” in any capacity shall mean and refer to the applicable assignee(s), respectively.

(c) In addition to its rights under Section 7.2(b), each Conduit Investor may at any time assign its rights in the Class A-VF Notes (and its rights hereunder and under the Transaction Documents) to its related Committed Note Purchaser or, subject to Section 4.2, its related Program Support Provider or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. Furthermore, each Conduit Investor may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its interests under this Agreement, its Class A-VF Note and all Transaction Documents to (i) its related Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) its Funding Agent, (iii) any Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including, without limitation, an insurance policy for such Conduit Investor relating to the Commercial Paper or the Class A-VF Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Conduit Investors, including, without limitation, an insurance policy relating to the Commercial Paper or the Class A-VF Notes, (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing or (vi) a trustee or collateral agent for the benefit of the holders of the commercial paper notes or other senior indebtedness of such Conduit Investor appointed pursuant to such Conduit Investor’s program documents; provided, however, that any such security interest or lien shall be released upon assignment of its Class A-VF Note to its related Committed Note Purchaser.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 7.2(g), each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding with respect to such Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Class A-VF Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Investor pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1 (a “Purchaser Group Supplement”), without the prior written consent of the Issuer. Upon such assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit

Assignee shall be the owner of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Commercial Paper and/or the Class A-VF Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Indenture or under any other Transaction Document with respect to such portion of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding with respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable, funded or maintained with commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by or for the benefit of such Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by any Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Class A-VF Advances Outstanding with respect to such Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers in the same Purchaser Group as such Conduit Investor under Section 2.2 to fund any Draw not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee.

(e) Register. The Class A-VF Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Issuer, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each applicable assignment and assumption agreement effecting any assignment of the Class A-VF Advances delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Class A-VF Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Class A-VF Advances owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest or demonstrable error, and the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Issuer and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

On each date a Class A-VF Advance is made hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Class A-VF Purchaser shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by

the related Class A-VF Note, of such Class A-VF Advance, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Issuer hereby authorize each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Class A-VF Purchaser to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Class A-VF Purchaser and the records maintained by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Class A-VF Purchaser and the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, and such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error; provided further that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement or the Indenture.

(f) Participations. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Conduit Investor may at any time grant to one or more Program Support Providers a participating interest in or lien on such Conduit Investor’s interests in the Class A-VF Advances made hereunder and such Program Support Provider, with respect to its participating interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Conduit Investor under this Agreement. In addition, any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, but with written notice to, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Affiliates or subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Class A-VF Commitment and/or the Class A-VF Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Issuer, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, and the Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.7(f) with respect to any payments made by such Purchaser to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Purchaser will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 7.9 that expressly relate to amendments requiring the unanimous consent of the Holders. The Issuer agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8 and 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7(h) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(h) shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.7 and 2.8 with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, maintain a register on

which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Class A-VF Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser 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 commitments, advances, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, advance, letter of credit 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 or demonstrable error, and such Purchaser 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 Class A-VF Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Class A-VF Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any assignment of the Class A-VF Notes shall also be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

Section 7.3. Termination; Survival. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Aggregate Unpaids are paid in full in cash and all the Class A-VF Commitments are terminated in full; provided, that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Issuer pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VI, this Section 7.3, and Sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 shall be continuing and shall survive the Stated Maturity.

Section 7.4. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Issuer shall reimburse the Class A-VF Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including attorney’s fees of a single outside counsel, incurred by it in connection with (i) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the administration of this Agreement and the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and of each other Transaction Document; and (ii) any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement. The Issuer further agrees to pay, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and to hold the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and each Purchaser harmless from all liability for (x) any breach by the Issuer of its obligations under this Agreement, (y) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred

by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent or such Purchaser including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of a single outside counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, if any, in enforcing this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out”, whether or not consummated, of the Transaction Documents.

(b) Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer shall indemnify the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, the Purchasers, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any third party or the Issuer) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent (and any sub‑agent thereof), the Purchasers and their respective Related Parties, the administration and enforcement of this Agreement (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Issuer as a debtor thereunder), (ii) any Class A-VF Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Issuer, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (including, without limitation, any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to the foregoing) or (iv) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC or any other governmental authority administering any Anti-Money Laundering Law, Anti-Corruption Law or Sanctions, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable documented legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, any Indemnitee in connection with the Transaction Documents as a result of any action of the Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Issuer or any other Person against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, if the Issuer has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 7.4(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Committed Note Purchaser, ratably according to its respective Class A-VF Commitment, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and their respective Related Parties harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities and damages, and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection herewith (solely to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Issuer) including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by any of them to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, or relating to the entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document,

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and their respective Related Parties be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

(d) Survival. The obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the obligations hereunder.

Section 7.5. Limited Recourse; No Proceedings. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document are from time to time and at any time limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Assets available at such time in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Assets and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments, all obligations of and any claims against the Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, administrator, member, manager, director, employee, security holder, holder of a beneficial interest in or incorporator or authorized person of any of the Issuer or its Affiliates or their respective successors or assigns for the payment of any amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.5 shall not (a) prevent recourse, in accordance with the Indenture, to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (b) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement or payable under any other Transaction Document until such Assets have been realized and distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the other applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents, whereupon any such outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each party hereto (other than the Issuer) hereby agrees not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the or any of their subsidiaries, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, winding-up or liquidation Proceedings, U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect and one day, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under the Indenture.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit Investor, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, examination or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state (or any other jurisdiction with authority over such Conduit Investor) bankruptcy or similar law. In the event that any such party takes action in violation of this Section 7.5(b), such related Conduit Investor may file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest or cause to be contested the filing of such a petition by any such party against such Conduit Investor or the commencement of such action and raise or cause to be raised the defense that such party has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. Nothing contained herein shall preclude

participation by any of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or a Purchaser in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving a Conduit Investor. The obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator (or Person similar to an incorporator under state business organization laws) of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7.5(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability that any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Investor shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses due pursuant to this Agreement (“Conduit Investor Amounts”) other than in accordance with the order of priorities set out in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and all payment obligations of each Conduit Investor hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its commercial paper notes; provided, however, that each Committed Note Purchaser shall pay any Conduit Investor Amounts, on behalf of any Conduit Investor in such Committed Note Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, as and when due hereunder, to the extent that such Conduit Investor is precluded by its commercial paper program documents from paying such Conduit Investor Amounts in accordance with this Agreement. Any such amount which any Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency unless and until funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and are available for the payment of such amounts as aforesaid.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.6. Confidentiality. The parties hereto shall comply with the provisions of Section 14.15 of the Indenture with respect to the maintenance of Confidential Information and the provisions of Section 14.15 of the Indenture are incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis.

Section 7.7. No Proceedings. Each of the Purchasers agrees to be bound by any provision of the Indenture applicable to Purchasers generally, the Class A Purchasers or the Controlling Class for so long as the Class A-VF Commitments have not been terminated or any Class A-VF Commitments remain outstanding, including without limitation, Section 2.8(i) of the Indenture.

Section 7.8. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 7.9. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a Transaction Document for all purposes of the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 7.9. Amendments and Waivers.

No amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure therefrom by the Collateral Manager or the Issuer, shall in any event be

effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Issuer with the written consent of Purchaser Groups holding more than 50% of the Class A-VF Commitments; provided that the Class A-VF Commitment of any Defaulting Purchaser shall be disregarded in the determination of whether such threshold percentage of Class A-VF Commitments has been met; provided, however, that, in addition, (i) the prior written consent of each affected Purchaser shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver that (x) increases the amount of the Class A-VF Commitment of such Purchaser, extends the Class A-VF Commitment Termination Date for such Purchaser, modifies the conditions to funding the Class A-VF Commitment or otherwise subjects such Purchaser to any increased or additional duties or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith (it being understood and agreed that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Class A-VF Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Class A-VF Commitments of any Purchaser), (y) reduces the amount or delays the timing of payment of any principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Purchaser hereunder or (z) would have an effect comparable to any of those set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture that require the consent of each Purchaser or each affected Holder; (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver that affects the rights or duties of any of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or the Funding Agents shall require the prior written consent of such affected Person; (iii) the prior written consent of each Purchaser, the Class A-VF Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of this Section 7.9(a); and (iv) the prior written consent of each affected Conduit Investor shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver that amends the Transaction Documents to give effect to the subordination of a portion of interest payable to any Conduit Investor funding its Class A-VF Notes at the CP Rate to the extent the CP Rate is greater than the then-current Benchmark. Class A-VF Commitments (other than the Class A-VF Commitments of any Defaulting Purchaser) shall be deemed fully drawn for purposes of any provision of the Indenture or any other Transaction Documents relating to any vote, consent, direction or the like to be given by the Class A-VF Purchasers, such vote, consent, direction or the like shall be given by the Holders of the Class A-VF Notes only except to the extent that such vote, consent, direction or the like is to be given by each affected Purchaser would be affected thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective if such amendment, waiver, or other modification materially and adversely affects any other Class of Secured Notes without the consent of a Majority of the Secured Notes of each Class materially and adversely affected thereby.

The failure by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Issuer of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Purchaser thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance here with or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Issuer contained in this Agreement, and no breach or default by the Issuer hereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or any Purchaser unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent or such Purchaser and directed to the Issuer specifying such suspension or waiver.

In determining whether the Purchasers of the requisite Class A-VF Advances Outstanding have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (a) Class A-VF Notes owned by the Issuer or (only in the case of a vote on (i) the removal of the Collateral Manager for “cause” and (ii) the waiver of any event constituting “cause”, in each case, unless all Class A-VF Notes are Collateral Manager Notes) Collateral Manager Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that (x) in determining whether the Class A-VF Administrative Agent shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Class A-VF Notes that the Class A-VF Administrative Agent actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded and (y) if all Class A-VF Notes are Collateral Manager Notes, Collateral Manager Notes shall not be so disregarded and (b) Class A-VF Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Class A-VF Administrative Agent the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Class A-VF Notes and that the pledgee is not one of the Persons specified above.

Section 7.10. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE CLASS A-VF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE CLASS A-VF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO

SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.1 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(v) The information included in the Certification of Beneficial Owner(s) of the Issuer is true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, this Purchaser Group Supplement is being executed and delivered in accordance with Section 7.2(c) of that certain Class A-VF Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2026 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Class A-VF Purchase Agreement”; terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) among (i) VCP RRL ABS V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”); (ii) MUFG BANK, LTD.

WHEREAS, the Acquiring Purchaser Group wishes to become a Conduit Investor and [a] Committed Note Purchaser[s] with respect to such Conduit Investor under the Class A-VF Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Transferor Purchaser Group is selling and assigning to the Acquiring Purchaser Group [all][a portion of] its respective rights, obligations and commitments under the Class A-VF Purchase Agreement, the Class A-VF Notes and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party with respect to the percentage of its Class A-VF Commitment specified on Schedule I attached hereto;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Upon the execution and delivery of this Purchaser Group Supplement by the Acquiring Purchaser Group, each related Funding Agent with respect thereto, the Transferor Purchaser Group and, to the extent required by Section 7.2(c) of the Class A-VF Purchase Agreement (the date of such execution and delivery, the “Transfer Issuance Date”) the Issuer, the Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchaser[s] with respect to the Acquiring Purchaser Group shall be parties to the Class A-VF Purchase Agreement for all purposes thereof.

The Transferor Purchaser Group acknowledges receipt from the Acquiring Purchaser Group of an amount equal to the purchase price, as agreed between the Transferor

The Transferor Purchaser Group hereby irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to the Acquiring Purchaser Group, without recourse, representation or warranty, and the Acquiring Purchaser Group hereby irrevocably purchases, takes and assumes from the Transferor Purchaser Group, such Acquiring Purchaser Group’s Purchased Percentage of the aggregate Class A-VF Commitment[s] of the Committed Note Purchaser[s] included in the Transferor Purchaser Group under the Class A-VF Purchase Agreement.

Schedule I hereto sets forth (i) the Purchased Percentage for the Acquiring Purchaser Group, (ii) the revised Class A-VF Commitments of the Transferor Purchaser Group and the Acquiring Purchaser Group, (iii) the revised Class A-VF Commitments for the Transferor Purchaser Group and the Acquiring Purchaser Group and (iv) administrative information with respect to the Acquiring Purchaser Group and its related Funding Agent.

This Purchaser Group Supplement and all matters arising under or in any manner relating to this Purchaser Group Supplement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other that the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be determined in accordance with such law.

ALL PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON OR ON THE CLASS A-VF PURCHASE AGREEMENT, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS PURCHASER GROUP SUPPLEMENT OR THE CLASS A-VF PURCHASE AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.
