Section 1.3 Assumptions as to Assets. In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Asset, or any payments on any other assets included in the Assets, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Assets and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision. (a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Assets securing the Secured Debt shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Asset and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of such Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations. USActive 57779863.5-84-

(b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Obligations unless or until such payments are actually made. (c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Asset (including Current Pay Obligations but excluding Defaulted Obligations, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero, except to the extent any payments have actually been received) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Asset (including the proceeds of the sale of such Asset received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during the Collection Period and not reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 12.2) that, if paid as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Account at the end of the Collection Period and (ii) any such amounts received by the Issuer in prior Collection Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Payment Date. (d) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to an Asset shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Debt or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.8(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of “Interest Coverage Ratio”, the expected interest on the Secured Debt and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then-current interest rates applicable thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts calculated pursuant to this Section 1.21.3(d) are estimates and may differ from the actual amounts available to make distributions hereunder, and no party shall have any obligation to make any payment hereunder due to the assumed amounts calculated under this Section 1.21.3(d) being greater than the actual amounts available. (e) References in Section 11.1(a) to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments described herein, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made. (f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Obligations will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Defaulted Obligation Balance. (g) If a Collateral Obligation included in the Assets would be deemed a Current Pay Obligation but for the applicable percentage limitation in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation”, then the Current Pay Obligations with the lowest Market Value (expressed as a percentage of the Principal Balance of such Current Pay Obligations as of USActive 57779863.5-85-

the date of determination) shall be deemed Defaulted Obligations. Each such Defaulted Obligation will be treated as a Defaulted Obligation for all purposes until such time as the aggregate principal balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Obligation, the applicable percentage of the Collateral Principal Amount as set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation.” (h) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such calculations, Defaulted Obligations will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test. (i) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager by notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, any Eligible Investment representing Principal Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of a Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to have the characteristics of such Collateral Obligation until reinvested in an additional Collateral Obligation. Such calculations shall be based upon the principal amount of such Collateral Obligation, except in the case of Defaulted Obligations and Credit Risk Obligations, in which case the calculations will be based upon the Principal Proceeds received on the disposition or sale of such Defaulted Obligation or Credit Risk Obligation. (j) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.1%. All other calculations, unless otherwise set forth herein or the context otherwise requires, shall be rounded to the nearest ten thousandth if expressed as a percentage (other than the Reference Rate, which shall be rounded to the nearest hundred-thousandthhundred thousandth), and to the nearest one hundredth if expressed otherwise. (k) For purposes of calculating the Collateral Quality Tests, DIP Collateral Obligations will be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loans. (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture shall be in Dollars. (m) Any reference herein to an amount of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Administrator’s fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Collection Period divided by 360 and shall be based on the Fee Basis Amount (but including the par amount of all Restructured Loans, Defaulted Obligations, Equity Securities, Specified Equity Securities and interest only strips), measured as of the first day of the Collection Period relating to each Payment Date. (n) For purposes of calculating compliance with any tests under this Indenture, the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred. (o) For all purposes where expressly used in this Indenture, the “outstanding principal balance” shall exclude capitalized interest, if any. USActive 57779863.5-86-

(p) Except as expressly set forth herein, the “principal balance” of a Revolving Collateral Obligation or a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation willshall include all unfunded commitments that have not been irrevocably reduced or withdrawn. (q) For purposes of calculating the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation in sale transactions, Sale Proceeds will include any Principal Financed Accrued Interest and Principal Financed Capitalized Interest received in respect of such sale. (r) To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Indenture or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth therein, in each case as reasonably determined by a Trust Officer of the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator shall request direction from the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Trustee, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor. (s) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, whenever in this Indenture the Collateral Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion,” “reasonable discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Issuer, Holders or any other Person. The intent of granting authority to act in its “discretion” to the Collateral Manager is that no other express consent of another party is required to be obtained by the Collateral Manager when acting pursuant to such grant of authority under this Indenture; provided that any action taken pursuant to such grant of discretion is consistent with the legal, contractual and fiduciary duties owed by the Collateral Manager. (t) With respect to any notice period set forth herein, such period may be shortened with the consent of each party required to receive such notice. (u) If withholding tax is imposed on amendment fees, waiver fees, consent fees, extension fees, commitment fees or other similar fees, the calculations of the Weighted Average Floating Spread, the Weighted Average Coupon and the Interest Coverage Test (and all component calculations of such calculations and tests, including when such a component calculation is calculated independently), as applicable, will be made on a net basis after taking into account such withholding, unless the Obligor is required to make “gross-up” payments to the Issuer that cover the full amount of any such withholding tax on an after-tax basis pursuant to the Underlying Document with respect thereto. (v) All calculations related to Maturity Amendments, Collateral Obligations, Discount Obligations and the Investment Criteria (and definitions related to Maturity Amendments, Collateral Obligations, Discount Obligations and the Investment Criteria) that would otherwise be calculated cumulatively will be reset at zero on the Refinancing Date and on the date of any other Refinancing of all Outstanding Classes of Secured Debt in full. USActive 57779863.5-87-

(w) The Class X Notes will not be included in the calculation of any Coverage Test. (x) Any direction or Issuer Order required hereunder relating to the purchase, acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of any Asset may be in the form of a trade ticket, confirmation of trade, trade blotter, instruction to post or to commit to the trade or similar instrument or document or other written instruction (including by email or other electronic communication or file transfer protocol) from the Collateral Manager on which the Trustee may rely as to whether any related conditions have been satisfied. ARTICLE II THE DEBT Section 2.1 Forms GenerallyForms Generally. The Notes and the Trustee’s or Authenticating Agent’s certificate of authentication thereon (the “Certificate of Authentication”) shall be in substantially the forms required by this Article, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, as may be consistent herewith, determined by the Officer of the Issuer executing such Notes as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” of Euroclear and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Participants” of Clearstream, respectively, will be applicable to the Global Notes insofar as interests in such Global Notes are held by the Agent Members of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Notes held on their behalf by the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Note for all payment purposes whatsoever, and for all other purposes except as provided in Section 14.2(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(21) After the ClosingRefinancing Date, by written notice of 100% of the holders of thea Class A-L LoansLender, all or a portion of thesuch Class A-L Lender’s Class A-L Loans may be converted into Class A-1 Notes as set forth herein and under the Class A-L Loan Agreement. Upon such conversion, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes will be increased by the current outstanding principal amount of the Class A-L Loans to be converted. For the avoidance of doubt, the initial principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes set forth in this table represents the principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes as of the Closing Date.Refinancing Date, which may be increased by up to $30,000,000 if all of the Class A-L Loans are so converted. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Notes may not be converted into Class A-L Loans. (32) The Reference Rate for calculating interest on the Floating RateSecured Debt will initially be the Term SOFR Rate, and. The Term SOFR Rate will be calculated as set forth underin Section 2.7 hereof. An Alternative Rate may be adopted as a replacement for the Term SOFR Rate following a Benchmark Transition Event. From and after when any such Alternative Rate is adopted, all references to “the "Term SOFR Rate”" in respect of determining the Interest Rate on the Floating RateSecured Debt will be deemed to be such Alternative Rate. The spread over the Reference Rate with respect to the Re-Pricing Eligible Debt may be reduced in connection with a Re-Pricing of such Class of Debt, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.7. (3) Interest on the Class X Notes (including the Class X Note Payment Amount) and the Class A Debt will be pari passu. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and an acceleration (that has not been rescinded and annulled) of the Secured Debt as provided in the Indenture, or to the extent payments are made in accordance with the Debt Payment Sequence, principal of the Class X Notes and the Class A Debt will be pari passu. At all other times, principal of the Class X Notes equal to the Class X Note Payment Amount will be paid prior to principal of the Class A Debt in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Debt shall be held in the Minimum Denominations. Debt shall only be transferred or resold in compliance with the terms of this Indenture (and/or the Class A-L Loan Agreement, as applicable). Section 2.4 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one of its Officers. The signature of such Officer on the Notes may be manual, facsimile or electronic. Notes bearing the manual, facsimile or electronic signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution Officers of the Issuer, shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as provided herein and not otherwise. Each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon Issuer Order on the ClosingRefinancing Date shall be dated as of the ClosingRefinancing Date. All other Notes that are authenticated and delivered after the ClosingRefinancing Date for any other purpose under this Indenture shall be dated the date of their authentication. Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. If any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount of such USActive 57779863.5-91-

Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such subsequently issued Notes. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their authorized signatories, and such Certificate of Authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Section 2.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “NotesNote Register”) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes (including the principal amount and stated interest thereon) and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “NotesNote Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to the NotesNote Register maintained in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the NotesNote Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of NotesNote Registrar. If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as NotesNote Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a NotesNote Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the NotesNote Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the NotesNote Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the NotesNote Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal or face amounts and numbers of such Notes. Upon request at any time the NotesNote Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser, the Co-Placement Agent or any Holder a current list of Holders as reflected in the NotesNote Register. Subject to this Section 2.5 and Section 2.12, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or the Co-Placement Agent, the Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a list of Holders of the Notes, and each Holder is deemed to agree by acceptance of its Note that the NotesNote Registrar shall not have any liability with respect to the release of any information with respect to such Holder to any such requesting Person. In addition, when permitted under this Indenture, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided to the Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Note (including a Beneficial Ownership Certificate or a certificate in the form of Exhibit D) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership as to the names and addresses of such beneficial owner and the Classes, principal amounts and USActive 57779863.5-92-

CUSIP numbers of Notes beneficially owned thereby. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or the Co-Placement Agent, the Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Trustee has received (unless otherwise directed by such beneficial owner). At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or request the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Notes issued, authenticated and delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt (to the extent they evidence debt), and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the NotesNote Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the NotesNote Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the NotesNote Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee or the NotesNote Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee or the NotesNote Registrar shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity, authority, and/or signatures of the transferor and transferee. (a) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause either of the Issuer to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. (b) No transfer of any Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) will be effective, and no such transfer will be recognized, if after giving effect to such transfer 25% or more of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes would be held by Persons who are Benefit Plan Investors as calculated pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “25% Limitation”). For purposes of these calculations and all other calculations required by this sub-section, any Notes of the Issuer held by a Person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) who is a Controlling Person shall be disregarded and not treated as Outstanding. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the information set USActive 57779863.5-93-

forth on the face of the transfer certificates received pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 and Section 2.12 and only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so held shall be so disregarded. (c) [Reserved]. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the 1940 Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a transfer certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 and Section 2.12 to be provided to the Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms. (e) Transfers of Global Notes shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.2(b), this Section 2.5(f) and Section 2.12. (i) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, such holder (provided that such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is a Qualified Purchaser that is not a U.S. person) may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the NotesNote Registrar of (A) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the NotesNote Registrar to credit or request to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the Minimum Denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase, (C) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes, including that the holder or the transferee, as applicable, is a Qualified Purchaser that is not a U.S. person and is purchasing such beneficial interest in reliance on Regulation S, and (D) a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-7 attached hereto given by the transferee in respect of such beneficial interest stating, among other things, that such transferee is a Qualified Purchaser that is not a U.S. person and is purchasing such beneficial interest outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S, then the NotesNote Registrar shall confirm the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal amount USActive 57779863.5-94-

If, after delivery of such new Note, a protected purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. USActive 57779863.5-101-

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Class duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a)(a) The Debt of each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date) at the applicable Interest Rate from the ClosingRefinancing Date, and shall accrue for each period (including the first and last days thereof) specified in the definition of the term Interest Accrual Period and be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Debt (other than the Class A Debt) (and payments of available Interest Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to each Class of Deferrable Notes, any payment of interest due on such Class of Deferrable Notes which is not available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (“Deferred Interest”) shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) and, thereafter, will bear interest at the Interest Rate for such Class of Deferrable Notes (as applicable) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (iii) the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Deferred Interest on the Deferrable Notes shall be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (x) which is the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (y) which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Regardless of whether any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to a Class of Deferrable Notes, to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity of, such Class of Deferrable Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on the Debt, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Class A Debt or Class B Notes or, if noX Note, Class A Debt or Class B Notes are Outstanding, any Class C Notes, or if no Class C Notes are Outstanding, any Class D Notes, shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein. USActive 57779863.5-102-

(b) The principal of each Class of Secured Debt matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for the applicable Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Secured Debt becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Secured Debt (and distributions of Principal Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) may only occur in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Secured Debt (and distributions on Principal Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) which are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Secured Debt or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full. Payments in respect of the Class X Note Payment Amount (whether paid from Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds) shall reduce the principal amount of the Class X Notes. (c) Principal payments on the Debt will be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Article IX. (d) The Paying Agent shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a “United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or, in the case of the Secured Debt (other than the Subordinated Notes), the appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) (together with all appropriate attachments) in the case of a Person that is not a “United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or other certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Trustee and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such DebtNotes or the Holder or beneficial owner of such DebtNotes under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation and the delivery of any information required under FATCA to determine if payments by the Issuer are subject to withholding. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the DebtNotes as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges with respect to the DebtNotes. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Paying Agent or the Trustee to determine the duties or liabilities of the Issuer or any other paying agent with respect to any tax certification or withholding requirements, or any tax certification or withholding requirements of any jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority outside the United States. (e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured NotesDebt and any payment with respect to any Subordinated Note shall be made by the Trustee in Dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, by wire transfer, as directed by such Person, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, to the USActive 57779863.5-103-

Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the applicableNote Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of any Notes, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee and the Issuer shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members or any of their nominees relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Debt (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee or Loan Agent, as applicable, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing onin the applicable Register, a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be made and the place where such Debt may, as applicable, be presented and surrendered for such payment. (f) Payments of principal to Holders of the Secured Debt of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Debt of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Secured Debt of such Class on such Record Date. Payments to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes from Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Subordinated Notes on such Record Date. (g) Interest accrued with respect to the Floating RateSecured Debt shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest accrued with respect to the Fixed Rate Debt shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided, that if a Redemption or a Re-Pricing occurs on a Business Day that would not otherwise be a Payment Date, interest on such Fixed Rate Debt shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. (h) All reductions in the principal amount of any Debt (or one or more predecessor Debt instruments, as applicable) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Debt and of any Debt issued or incurred upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Debt instrument.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer. Unless the Authenticating Agent is also the same entity as the Trustee, the Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto as an Administrative Expense. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. Section 6.15 Withholding.Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed by applicable law on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) under the Debt, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the relevant Holder. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed or required to be withheld by the Issuer or may be withheld because of a failure by a Holder to provide any information required under Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446 and 1471-1474 of the Code or any other provisions of any applicable law and to timely remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. Such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Debt shall be treated as Cash distributed to the relevant Holder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.15. If any Holder or beneficial owner wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Person in providing readily available information so long as such Person agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any USActive 57779863.5-149-

out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Debt.

such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). Section 7.16 Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Floating RateSecured Debt remains Outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed by the Issuer (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 Reference Rate for each Interest Accrual Period on the Interest Determination Date or, if the Reference Rate is not the Term SOFR Rate, the time determined by the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) and adopted in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates and provide notice thereof to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been duly appointed. (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent does hereby agree) that, as soon as possible after 5:00 a.m. Chicago time on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Interest Rate applicable to each Class of Floating RateSecured Debt during the related Interest Accrual Period and the Debt Interest Amount (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) payable on the related Payment Date in respect of such Class of Floating RateSecured Debt in respect of the related Interest Accrual Period. At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, each Paying Agent, DTC, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Issuer the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall 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 any such Interest Rate or Debt Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. Neither the Calculation Agent nor the Loan Agent nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the selection of an alternative base rate (including a Reference Rate, an Alternative Rate, a Fallback Rate and/or a Benchmark Replacement Rate) or determination thereof, or any liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties hereunder as a result of the unavailability of a “base rate” in accordance herewith. (c) Neither the Calculation Agent nor the Collateral Manager shall have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the interest rates of the Floating RateSecured Debt, including but not limited to the Reuters Screen USActive 57779863.5-161-

(or any successor source), or rates published by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Website. (d) The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation, responsibility or liability for (i) monitoring, determining or verifying the unavailability or cessation of the Term SOFR Rate (or other Reference Rate), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, a Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the designation, determination, selection, identification or adoption of an Alternative Rate (including any Benchmark Replacement Rate, Designated Base Rate, Fallback Rate, SOFR, Term SOFR Rate, Benchmark Replacement Rate Adjustment or any other reference rate component or modifier thereto and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes) as a successor or replacement benchmark to the Term SOFR Rate or determining whether any such rate is a Benchmark Replacement Rate or Fallback Rate or whether the conditions to the designation of such rate or the adoption of a Reference Rate Amendment have been satisfied (subject to, and except as otherwise provided in, this Indenture) and shall be entitled to rely upon any designation, determination or selection of such rate by the Collateral Manager or (iii) determining whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or Reference Rate Amendment, if any, are necessary or advisable in connection with any of the foregoing or, with respect to each Floating Rate Obligation, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any responsibility or liability to (w) monitor the status of the Term SOFR Rate or other applicable reference rate, (x) determine whether a substitute index or reference rate should or could be selected, (y) determine the selection of any such substitute reference rate and (z) exercise any right related to the foregoing on behalf of the Issuer, the Holders or any other Person. (e) The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Calculation Agent shall have no liability for any inability, failure or delay in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents as a result of the unavailability or disruption of “Term SOFR Rate” or other Reference Rate (including any inability to calculate the Alternative Rate selected by the Collateral Manager) and absence of an alternate or replacement reference rate, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Collateral Manager, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. (f) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Calculation Agent shall have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the Interest Rates of the Secured Debt, including but not limited to the Reuters Screen (or any successor source), or for any rates compiled by the LSTA or ARRC or any successors thereto, or for any rates published on any publicly available source, or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy in the publication of any such rates, or for any subsequent correction or adjustment thereto. Section 7.17 Certain Tax Matters. (a) (a)The Issuer will treat the Issuer and the Debt as described in the “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” section of the USActive 57779863.5-162-

Offering Circular for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law. (b) The Issuer will prepare and file (or will hire accountants and the accountants will prepare and file) for each taxable year of the Issuer any U.S. federal, state and local tax returns and reports required under the Code or any other applicable law, and will provide (or cause to be provided) to each Holder (including, for purposes of this Section 7.17, any beneficial owner of Debt) any information that such Holder reasonably requests in order for such Holder to comply with its U.S. federal, state or local tax return filing and information reporting obligations. (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall take, any and all reasonable actions that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Issuer satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472, and any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Issuer may withhold any amount that it or any advisor retained by the Trustee on its behalf determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Person and (ii) if reasonably able to do so, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS W-9 or successor applicable form and other properly completed and executed documentation, as it determines is necessary to permit the Issuer to receive payments without withholding or deduction or at a reduced rate of withholding or deduction. (d) Upon the Issuer’s or the Trustee’s receipt of a written request of a Holder or written request of a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in Debt, delivered in accordance with the notice procedures of Section 14.3, for the information described in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Holder, the Issuer shall promptly cause its Independent accountants to provide such information to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly provide such information to the requesting Holder. (e) The Collateral Manager will be the initial “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) (or, if not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative) and may designate the Partnership Representative from time to time with respect to any taxable year of the Issuer during which the Collateral Manager holds or has held any Subordinated Notes (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative); provided, that during any other period or if the Collateral Manager declines to so designate a Partnership Representative, the Issuer (after consultation with the Collateral Manager) shall designate the Partnership Representative from among any beneficial owners of Subordinated Notes (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative). The Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney in fact), shall sign the Issuer’s tax returns and is authorized to make tax elections on behalf of the Issuer in its reasonable discretion, to determine the amount and characterization of any allocations or tax items described in this Indenture in its reasonable discretion, and to take all actions and do such things as required or as it shall deem appropriate under the Code, at the Issuer’s sole expense, including representing the Issuer before taxing authorities and courts in tax matters affecting the Issuer and the beneficial owners of USActive 57779863.5-163-

Subordinated Notes (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in their capacity as partners in the Issuer. Any action taken by the Partnership Representative in connection with audits of the Issuer under the Code will, to the extent permitted by law, be binding upon the “equity owners” (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Issuer. Each such beneficial owner agrees that it will treat any Issuer item on such beneficial owner’s income tax returns consistently with the treatment of the item on the Issuer’s tax return and that such beneficial owner will not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Issuer, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney-in-fact), which authorization may be withheld in the complete discretion of the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney in fact). The Issuer will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative and any agent and attorney-in-fact of such Partnership Representative in connection with any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with its performance of its duties as or on behalf of the Partnership Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnity or reimbursement provided pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence shall be treated as an Administrative Expense pursuant to the definition thereof. (f) The Partnership Representative shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained on the books and records of the Issuer an individual capital account for each Holder of Subordinated Notes (which, for purposes of this Section 7.17(f) and Section 7.17(g) through (j) and (m), shall include any “partner” of the Issuer (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes)), in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). (g) After giving effect to Section 7.17(g) and Section 7.17(h), all Issuer items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Holders of Subordinated Notes in a manner such that, after the allocation, each such Holder’s capital account is equal (as nearly as possible) to the amount that such Holder would receive from the Issuer if the Issuer (i) sold all of its assets for their Book Values, (ii) applied the proceeds to discharge Issuer liabilities at face amount, and (iii) distributed the remaining proceeds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture (other than this Section 7.17), minus the sum of such Holder’s share of “partnership minimum gain” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2)) and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3)). (h) (i) This Section 7.17(h)(i) incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), the “partner minimum gain chargeback” requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), and the “qualified income offset” requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (ii) In the event that any Holder of Subordinated Notes has a deficit capital account at the end of any Issuer taxable year that is in excess of the amount such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Holder will be allocated items of Issuer income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.17(h)(ii) will be USActive 57779863.5-164-

made only if and to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit capital account in excess of such amount after all other allocations provided for in this Section 7.17 have been tentatively made as if this Section 7.17 did not include this Section 7.17(h)(ii) or the “qualified income offset” requirement of Section 7.17(h)(i). (iii) Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) will be specially allocated to the Holders of Subordinated Notes in the same manner as if they were not nonrecourse deductions. (iv) No Holder of Subordinated Notes will be allocated items of loss or deduction under Section 7.17(g) or Section 7.17(i) if such allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Holder’s capital account as of the end of the Issuer taxable year to which such allocation relates, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (i) It is the intent of the Issuer that, to the extent possible, all special allocations made pursuant to Section 7.17(g) be offset either with other special allocations made pursuant to Section 7.17(h) or with special allocations made pursuant to this Section 7.17(i). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.17 (other than Section 7.17(h)), offsetting special allocations of Issuer items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be made so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, the capital account balance of each Holder of Subordinated Notes is, to the extent possible, equal to the capital account balance such Holder would have had if the special allocations made pursuant to Section 7.17(h) were not part of this Section 7.17 and all Issuer items of income, gain, loss and deduction were allocated pursuant to Section 7.17(g). (j) For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of Issuer income, gain, loss, and deduction will be allocated among the Holders of Subordinated Notes in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for capital account purposes under this Section 7.17(j), except that items with respect to which there is a difference between adjusted tax basis and Book Value will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code using a method chosen by the Partnership Representative as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3. (k) The Partnership Representative is authorized to amend the allocations described in this Section 7.17 as necessary to ensure that all allocations made pursuant to this Section 7.17 are treated as having “substantial economic effect” within the meaning of Section 704 of the Code. (l) In connection with a Re PricingRe-Pricing or a Reference Rate Amendment constituting a significant modification for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will, and will cause its Independent accountants to, comply with any requirements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f)(9) (or any successor provision), including (i) determining whether Debt of the Re-Priced Class or Debt replacing the Re-Priced Class or the Debt subject to the Reference Rate Amendment, as applicable, are traded on an established market, (ii) if so traded, causing its Independent accountants to determine the fair market value of such Debt, and (iii) making available such fair market value determination available to USActive 57779863.5-165-

Holders in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days of the date that the new Debt is issued. (m) If the IRS, in connection with an audit governed by the tax audit rules that apply to partnerships that are contemplated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “Partnership Tax Audit Rules”), proposes an adjustment greater than $25,000 in the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Issuer, or any partner’s distributive share thereof, and such adjustment results in an "“imputed underpayment"” as described in Section 6225(b) of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, together with any guidance issued thereunder or successor provisions (a “Covered Audit Adjustment”), the Partnership Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Holders of the Subordinated Notes), to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, together with any guidance issued thereunder or successor provisions (the “Alternative Method”). In the event the proposed adjustment is equal to or less than $25,000, the Partnership Representative may in its sole discretion elect to have the Issuer pay such adjustment. To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not (or is unable to) elect the Alternative Method with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment and such Covered Audit Adjustment is material as to the Issuer (determined in the Partnership Representative'sRepresentative’s sole discretion), the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) to the extent not economically or administratively burdensome or onerous, make reasonable modifications available under Sections 6225(c)(3), (4) and (5) of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, together with any guidance issued thereunder or successor provisions, to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) and would reduce any taxes payable by the Issuer with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (ii) if reasonably requested by a Holder of a Subordinated Note, provide to such Holder available information allowing such Holder to file an amended U.S. federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, together with any guidance issued thereunder or successor provisions, to the extent that such amended return and payment of any related U.S. federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by the Issuer with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment (after taking into account any modifications described in clause (i)). Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with any state or local income tax audit governed by the Partnership Tax Audit Rules. Any U.S. federal income taxes (and any related interest and penalties) paid by the Issuer (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from an adjustment under Partnership Tax Audit Rules) may be allocated in the reasonable discretion of the Issuer to those Holders to whom such amounts are specifically attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise), as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Issuer. The Issuer shall not elect or cause any election to be made to apply the Partnership Tax Audit Rules to the Issuer prior to the generally applicable effective date of such legislation, unless the Issuer, in good faith, reasonably determines that such an election would be in the best interests of the Issuer and all Holders of the Notes. Section 7.18 Effective Date; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. (a) (a)The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, on or before USActive 57779863.5-166-

SeptemberJune 20, 2022,2024 Collateral Obligations (i) such that the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied and (ii) that satisfy, as of the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Test and the Coverage Tests. (b) During the period from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date, the Issuer will use funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in the following order: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire such Collateral Obligations that will satisfy, on the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Test and each Overcollateralization Ratio Test. (c) Within 30 Business Days after the Effective Date (but in no event later than the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date), (i) the Issuer will provide, or cause the Collateral Manager to provide, to the Trustee, an accountants’ report: (x) confirming the identity of the obligor (it being understood that the same obligor may be referred to differently due to the use of abbreviations or shorthand references by different record keepers), principal balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, S&P Rating and country of Domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date and the information provided by the Issuer with respect to every other asset included in the Assets, by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein (such report, the “Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report”) and (y) recalculating and comparing as of the Effective Date the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of the Effective Date Specified Tested Items and specifying the procedures undertaken by them to review data and computations relating to such report (the “Accountants’ Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report”), and (ii) the Issuer will cause the Collateral Administrator to compile and deliver to S&P a report (the “Effective Date Report”), determined as of the Effective Date, containing (A) the information required in a Monthly Report, (B) the results of calculations indicating satisfaction of the Effective Date Specified Tested Items and (C) a calculation of the Aggregate Principal Balance that indicates whether the Aggregate Principal Balance equals or exceeds the Target Initial Par Amount in satisfaction of the Target Initial Par Condition. For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Date Report shall not include or refer to the Accountants’ Report and no Accountants’ Report shall be provided to or otherwise shared with S&P. (d) In accordance with SEC Release No. 34-72936, Form 15-E, only in its complete and unedited form which includes the Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report as an attachment, will be provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer who will post such Form 15-E, except for the redaction of any sensitive information, on the 17g-5 Website. Copies of the Accountants’ Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report or any other accountants’ report provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator will not be provided to any other party including S&P (other than as provided in an access letter between the accountants and such party). USActive 57779863.5-167-

(e) If (1) the Effective Date Condition has not been satisfied prior to the date that is 30 Business Days after the Effective Date (but in no event later than the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date) and (2) S&P has not provided written confirmation (which may take the form of a press release or other written communication) of its initial rating of the Secured Debt by the date 30 Business Days following the Effective Date, then the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall request S&P to provide written confirmation of its Initial Ratings (which may take the form of a press release or other written communication). In such case, if S&P does not provide written confirmation of its Initial Ratings on or prior to the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date, then the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) will instruct the Trustee to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount (and may, prior to the first Payment Date, use such funds on behalf of the Issuer for the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations) sufficient to obtain from S&P written confirmation of its Initial Ratings; provided that in lieu of complying with this paragraph, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) may take such action, including, but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to obtain written confirmation from S&P, of its Initial Ratings. (f) The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee to deposit the amount specified in the Closing Date Certificate to the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. At the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date as described in clause (b) above. If on the Effective Date, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in Section 10.3(c). (g) Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate; S&P CDO Monitor. On or prior to the later of (x) the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date and (y) the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager will elect the S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate that will apply on and after such date to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Minimum Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate Test, and the Collateral Manager will so notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time on written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and S&P, the Collateral Manager may elect a different S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided, that if (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations but the Collateral Obligations would not be in compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change, then such changed case shall not apply or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations and would not be in compliance with any other S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate case, the S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations shall be the lowest S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate in Schedule 4. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the S&P CDO Monitor Recovery Rate in the manner set forth in this Indenture, the S&P USActive 57779863.5-168-

CDO Monitor Recovery Rate chosen as of the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date or the Effective Date, as applicable, shall continue to apply. (h) Compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test will be measured by the Collateral Manager on each Measurement Date on or after the Effective Date and on or prior to the last day of the Reinvestment Period; provided, however, that on each Measurement Date occurring on and after the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date, after receipt by the Issuer of the S&P CDO Monitor, the Collateral Manager will be required to provide to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator a report on the portfolio of Collateral Obligations containing such information as shall be reasonably necessary to permit the Collateral Administrator to calculate the Class Default Differential with respect to the Highest Ranking S&P Class on such Measurement Date. In the event that the Collateral Manager’s measurement of compliance and the Collateral Administrator’s measurement of compliance show different results, the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator shall be required to cooperate promptly in order to reconcile such discrepancy. (i) [Reserved]. (j) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.18 will not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d) hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith. Section 7.19 Representations Relating to Security Interests in the Assets. (a) The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Indenture and be deemed to be repeated on each date on which an Asset is Granted to the Trustee hereunder): (i) The Issuer owns each Asset free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, other than such as are being released on the Closing Date contemporaneously with the sale of the Debt on the Closing Date or on the related Cut-OffCut-Off Date contemporaneously with the purchase of such Asset on the Cut-Off Date, created under, or permitted by, this Indenture and any other Permitted Liens.

Under the rules, the Issuer must have a “reasonable belief” that all holders of its outstanding securities, including transferees, are Qualified Purchasers. Consequently, all sales and resales of the Notes must be made solely to purchasers that are Qualified Purchasers. Each purchaser of a Note (such Note, a “Restricted Note”) will be deemed (or required, as the case may be) to represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser who is either (w) solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, an institutional accredited investor (“IAI”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (x) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”), (y) except for with respect to the ERISA Restricted Notes, a non-U.S. person acquiring such notes in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act or (z) solely in the case of Subordinated Notes, a U.S. person that is an Accredited Investor that is also a Knowledgeable Employee with respect to the Issuer; (ii) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI/non-U.S. person (as applicable); (iii) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Issuer; (iv) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the Minimum Denominations of the Notes specified herein; (v) the USActive 57779863.5-215-

purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories; and (vi) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any subsequent transferees. The Restricted Notes may only be transferred to another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI/non-U.S. person (as applicable) and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (i) through (vi) above.” “The Issuer directs that the recipient of this notice, and any recipient of a copy of this notice, provide a copy to any Person having an interest in this Note as indicated on the books of DTC or on the books of a participant in DTC or on the books of an indirect participant for which such participant in DTC acts as agent.” “The Indenture provides that if, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained therein, the Issuer determines that any holder of, or beneficial owner of an interest in, a Restricted Note who is determined not to have been a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such Restricted Note, or beneficial interest therein, the Issuer may require, by notice to such Holder or beneficial owner, that such Holder or beneficial owner sell all of its right, title and interest to such Restricted Note (or any interest therein) to a Person that is either (x) a Qualified Purchaser acquiring the Notes in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S, or (y) a Qualified Purchaser who is a QIB (or, solely in the case of a Note issued as a Certificated Note, an IAI), with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given.

Section 14.4 Notices to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture or the Class A-L Loan Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event: (a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service (or, in the case of Holders of Global Notes, e-mailed to DTC), to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the applicableNote Register not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice; (b) for so long as any Debt isListed Notes are listed on Euronext Dublin and the listing guidelines of Euronext Dublin so require, notices to the Holders of such DebtListed Notes shall also be sent to Euronext Dublin; and (c) such notice shall be in the English language.

Notwithstanding clause (a) above, a Holder may give the Trustee a written notice that it is requesting that notices to it be given by electronic mail or by facsimile transmissions and stating the electronic mail address or facsimile number for such transmission. Thereafter, the Trustee shall give notices to such Holder by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, as so requested; provided that if such notice also requests that notices be given by mail, then such notice shall also be given by mail in accordance with clause (a) above. In lieu of the foregoing, notices for Holders may also be posted to the Trustee’s website.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification to Holders as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, USActive 57779863.5-239-

If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Indenture or the Debt, or the application thereof to any party hereto or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture or the Debt, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture or the Debt, as the case may be, so long as this Indenture or the Debt, as the case may be, as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Indenture or the Debt, as the case may be, will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.

EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE DEBT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Schedule 3 Moody’s Rating Definitions MOODY’S RATING (a) With respect to a Collateral Obligation that (A) is publicly rated by Moody’s, such public rating, or (B) is not publicly rated by Moody’s but for which a rating has been assigned by Moody’s upon the request of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, such rating. (b) With respect to a Collateral Obligation that is a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a) above), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating. (c) With respect to a Collateral Obligation, if not determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s public rating on any such obligation (or, if such Collateral Obligation is a first-lien loan, the Moody’s rating that is one subcategory higher than the Moody’s public rating on any such senior unsecured obligation) as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion. (d) With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above) if the obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s Rating on any such obligation; (e) With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) above), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating; and (f) With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more subordinated obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s public rating on any such obligation notched up by one notch as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion. For purposes of calculating a Moody’s Rating, each applicable rating (i) on credit watch by Moody’s with positive implications will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory and (ii) on credit watch by Moody’s with negative implications will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory.

(b) An “Average Par Amount” is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers. (c) An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and (y) the Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount. (d) An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each of the S&P Industry Classifications, and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry classification group. (e) An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each S&P Industry Classification, by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score shall be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores: 5.9500 1.9500 1.5000 3.0000 7.0500 5.1500 3.2750 11.0500 12.1500 0.3500 4.2200 4.1100 17.2500 4.7300 16.1500 0.4000

Proceeding, and (C) it shall comply with such express terms if it seeks to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding; (2) there are no implied rights under the Indenture to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding; and (3) notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture, or any provision of the Notes or of any other agreement, the Issuer shall be under no duty or obligation of any kind to the holders of the Notes (or of any interest therein), or any of them, to institute any legal or other proceedings of any kind, against any person or entity, including, without limitation, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager or the Calculation Agent. 23. It agrees that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, may enter into binding commitments to sell and transfer all Notes of a Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting holders pursuant to the Indenture, and if it is a non-consenting holder, it agrees to sell and transfer its Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with such sale and transfers, and agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, or the Trustee in connection with any such sale and transfers. 24.

Notice of such cancellation may be given to the Issuer in writing or by email or facsimile. 8. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION (a) Subject to the Priority of Payments, the Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser and each Person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees or controlling persons of the Initial Purchaser and each such Person (each, an “Initial Purchaser Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are connected with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Documents or the execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents. Such indemnity shall include any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto; or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Initial Purchaser Parties shall not be so indemnified to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities provided for in this sentence are finally judicially determined to have been primarily caused by any such

USActive 61440620.4 Page 16 untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon the Initial Purchaser Information. The Issuer shall reimburse, as incurred, each Initial Purchaser Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser and each such Initial Purchaser Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The indemnity provided for in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liability that the Issuer may otherwise have. (b) The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, members, officers and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that are finally judicially determined to have been primarily based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Initial Purchaser Information or the omission to state in the Initial Purchaser Information a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such Person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party fails to retain counsel as provided in the preceding sentence. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Initial Purchaser, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Issuer, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any

USActive 61440620.4 Page 17 indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such indemnified party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. (d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand from the sale and purchase of Subject Notes hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 8(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuer shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the sale of the Subject Notes hereunder (before deducting expenses), including the amount (immediately prior to retirement) of any liabilities retired in exchange for the Subject Notes sold hereunder, and benefits received by the Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser from the Issuer in connection with the purchase of the Subject Notes hereunder. The relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or by the Initial Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) The Issuer and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the amount by which (a) the sum of, without duplication, (i) any commission, structuring or placement fees received by the Initial Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) the excess of the total price at which the Subject Notes are sold to investors by the Initial Purchaser over the price paid by the Initial Purchaser to the Issuer for the Subject Notes exceeds (b) the aggregate amount of any damages that the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim hereunder. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8(e), each Person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchaser, and each manager and officer of the Issuer shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 8(e).

USActive 61440620.4 Page 18 (f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or any Person controlling the Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Issuer or its officers or directors or any Person controlling the Issuer; and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Subject Notes. (g) The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. (h) No party hereto shall be responsible or have any liability to any other party for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages incurred by any such other party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, even if advised of the possibility thereof; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to relieve the Issuer or the Initial Purchaser of any obligation they may otherwise have under this Agreement to indemnify an indemnified party for any such damages asserted by an unaffiliated third party. 9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT (a) The Initial Purchaser, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Issuer prior to delivery of and payment for the Subject Notes, may terminate this Agreement and the obligations of the Issuer and the Initial Purchaser hereunder (except as expressly provided in Section 10) if, prior to such time: (i) the Issuer shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto; (ii) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade or Euronext Dublin; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by the relevant federal or New York authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, or any change in financial markets, political or economic conditions, currency exchange rates or controls, or any calamity or crisis, that in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchaser, is material and adverse, and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, marketing or delivery of the Debt as contemplated by the Offering Documents, as amended as of the date hereof; or (v) there shall have occurred a terrorist attack or similar hostilities against the United States and/or its citizens and/or their respective properties within the states and territories of the United States or in foreign countries, that in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchaser, is material and adverse, and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, marketing or delivery of the Debt as contemplated by the Offering Documents, as amended as of the date hereof.

USActive 61440620.4 Page 19 (b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except (i) for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination, (ii) for the liability of the Issuer to reimburse the Initial Purchaser pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and (iii) that the provisions of Section 8 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 10. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. (a) The respective agreements, representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other statements made by or on behalf of the Issuer or its members or officers and the Initial Purchaser, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect (in the case of the Issuer, regardless of any investigation or any statements as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or any officer, director, employee or controlling person of the Initial Purchaser) and shall survive offering, selling and/or delivery of the Debt. The provisions of this Section 10(a), Section 16(a) and Sections 3, 4 and 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 11. INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY THE INITIAL PURCHASER (a) The Initial Purchaser Information constitutes the only information furnished by the Initial Purchaser to the Issuer for the purposes of Section 4(a)(vii) and Section 8 hereof. 12.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer agrees that a final judgment obtained in any such court described above in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other manner provided by law. On the Refinancing Date, the Issuer shall irrevocably designate and appoint Corporation Service Company, whose address is 19 West 44th Street, Suite 200, New York, NY 10036, as its agent to receive service of process in any proceedings in the City and County of New York; provided that failure to deliver any such copy to the Issuer shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such service of process. The Issuer agrees that service of process on the aforementioned agent and written notice of such service to the Issuer, as provided above shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process. (b) To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any such court referred to above, or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. (c) The Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective courts referred above. 14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL RIGHT (a) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING.

RECOGNITION OF THE U.S. SPECIAL RESOLUTION REGIMES (a) In the event that the Initial Purchaser, which is a Covered Entity, becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from the Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent

USActive 61440620.4 Page 21 as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b) In the event that the Initial Purchaser, which is a Covered Entity, or a BHC Act Affiliate of the Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against the Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. For the purpose of this Section 15: “BHC Act Affiliate” has meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (a) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (b) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (c) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 16. MISCELLANEOUS (a) (i) The Initial Purchaser covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) and one day after the payment in full of all of the Debt issued and incurred by the Issuer, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law in any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 16(a)(i) shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Initial Purchaser (A) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (1) any case, suit, action or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (2) any involuntary insolvency case, suit, action or proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Initial Purchaser or its Affiliates or (B) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation case, suit, action or proceeding. (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder from time to time and at any time are limited-recourse obligations payable solely from

(b) If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), shall continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality shall not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement shall not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision. (c) This Agreement may only be amended or modified, and the provisions of this Agreement may only be waived, by a writing signed by each party hereto. This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page of this Agreement by email (PDF) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. (d) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns and, with respect to Section 8 hereof, the officers, directors and controlling Persons thereof, and no other Person shall have any right or obligation hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that a party may make a transfer of all (but not less than all) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement). Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this provision will be void. (e) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and this Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York.

USActive 61440620.4 Page 23 Person has no notice of revocation of the power of attorney by which such Person has executed this Agreement as such attorney. (g) Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall prevent the Initial Purchaser from entering into any agency agreements, underwriting agreements or other similar agreements governing the offer and sale of securities with any issuer or issuers of securities; or (ii) shall be construed in any way as precluding or restricting the Initial Purchaser’s right to sell or offer for sale any securities issued by any Person, including securities similar to, or competing with, any of the Subject Notes. (h) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

-4- Section 1.03 Conflict with Indenture. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall prevail. ARTICLE II THE CLASS A-L LOANS Section 2.01 Commitments of the Class A-L-R Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Class A-L-R Lenders executing and delivering this Agreement was an original Class A-L Lender and made Original Class A-L Loans in the amount of $30,000,000.00 (which excludes accrued interest and other non-principal amounts owing, if any) under the Original Loan Agreement (with respect to such original Class A-L Lender, such Loans, the "Existing Loans") and has elected a "Cashless Settlement Option" in its Existing Loans (each an "Existing Lender" and collectively, the "Existing Lenders"). (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.01 herein, each Existing Lender agrees to make a Class A-L Loan (the "New Loans") to the Borrower for the purpose of prepaying in full the Existing Loans on the Refinancing Date by redesignating and rolling on a cashless basis all of its commitments and participations in the Original Class A-L Loan into a Class A-L Loan and thereby exchanging the Existing Loans held by such Existing Lender on the First Refinancing Date for New Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Existing Loan. The amount of each Class A-L-R Lender's current participation in the Class A-L Loan is set out opposite such Class A-L-R Lender's name on Schedule I attached hereto. The initial aggregate principal amount of all New Loans made hereunder shall be U.S.$30,000,000.00 and such New Loans are hereby made in-kind for the Existing Loans. Each Existing Lender hereby agrees to accept such Cashless Settlement Option with respect to its Existing Loans. In addition, on any Additional Incurrence Date, each Class A-L-R Lender with respect to Additional Class A-L Loans shall fund its Class A-L Loan in the applicable amount. No amount borrowed and consequently repaid or prepaid hereunder can be re-borrowed. (c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.01 herein, each Class A-L-R Lender shall be deemed to have funded the New Loans on the Refinancing Date and shall fund on each applicable Additional Incurrence Date to the account set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Section 2.02 Class A-L Loan Notes. (a) The Borrower shall, if requested by any Class A-L-R Lender, (i) sign a Class A-L Loan Note in the name of such Class A-L-R Lender, dated the Refinancing Date or applicable Additional Incurrence Date and (ii) deliver such Class A-L Loan Note to the Loan Agent on behalf of such Class A-L-R Lender for delivery by the Loan Agent to such Class A-L-R Lender.

-5- (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Class A-L Loan Notes shall be delivered only to Class A-L-R Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Class A-L Loan Notes. No failure of any Class A-L-R Lender to request or obtain a Class A-L Loan Note evidencing its Class A-L Loans shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Class A-L Loans incurred by the Borrower that would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security therefor provided pursuant to the Indenture. At any time (including, without limitation, to replace any Class A-L Loan Note that has been destroyed or lost) when any Class A-L-R Lender requests the delivery of a Class A-L Loan Note to evidence any of its Class A-L Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Class A-L-R Lender the requested Class A-L Loan Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Class A-L Loans; provided that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Class A-L Loan Note, the Borrower shall have received from such requesting Class A-L-R Lender (i) an affidavit of loss or destruction and (ii) a customary lost/destroyed Class A-L Loan Note indemnity, in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of the Borrower and such requesting Class A-L-R Lender, and duly executed by such requesting Class A-L-R Lender. (c) As a condition to the repayment in full of any Class A-L Loans, the Loan Agent or the Trustee may require the related Class A-L-R Lender to present and surrender its Class A-L Loan Note on or prior to such repayment; provided that if the Borrower and the Loan Agent shall have received (i) an affidavit of loss or destruction or an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Class A-L Loan Note and (ii) a customary lost/destroyed Class A-L Loan Note indemnity, in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Loan Agent and such requesting Class A-L-R Lender, and duly executed by such requesting Class A-L-R Lender, then such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any Money deposited with the Loan Agent for any payment on any Class A-L Loan and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the applicable Borrower on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Class A-L Loan shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the applicable Borrower for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Loan Agent with respect to such deposited Money (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the applicable Borrower) shall thereupon cease. Section 2.03 Principal; Interest Rate. (a) Principal of the Class A-L Loans, including mandatory and optional principal prepayments, shall be paid by the Borrower in part or in whole at the times and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, including (x) in connection with the Borrower's repayment of such Debt pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture, (y) in connection with a repayment or Refinancing of the Class A-L Loans pursuant to Section 9.2 or Article IX of the Indenture, or (z) otherwise, in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Unless earlier repaid, the Class A-L Loans shall mature, and the remaining principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, on the Payment Date in April 2038. (b) Interest shall accrue on each Class A-L Loan or portion thereof which remains unpaid at a rate equal to the Reference Rate as calculated under the Indenture plus 1.38% and shall be due and payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the Indenture; provided

-6- that, pursuant to a Benchmark Transition Event, the Term SOFR Rate may be replaced with an Alternative Rate, as set forth in the Indenture. (c) The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Class A-L Loans as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges, including any interest, penalties or additions to tax with respect thereto. Section 2.04 Establishment of Class A-L Loan Account; Distributions. (a) The Loan Agent has established, prior to the Refinancing Date, a single, segregated non-interest bearing account in the name of the Borrower subject to the Lien of the Indenture, which was designated as the "Class A-L Loan Account" and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement. Such account shall be held in the name of the Borrower for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Trustee shall have exclusive control over such account, subject to the Loan Agent's right to give instructions specified herein. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A-L Loan Account shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A-L Loan Account shall be to pay the interest on and the principal of the Class A-L Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture. The Loan Agent agrees to give the Borrower, the Trustee and the Class A-L Lenders prompt notice if a Trust Officer receives notice that the Class A-L Loan Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Class A-L Loan Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Class A-L Loan Account shall remain at all times with an institution satisfying the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.8 of the Indenture. (b) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Class A-L Loans that are to be made pursuant to the Indenture shall be made on behalf of the Borrower to the Loan Agent through the Class A-L Loan Account for distribution to the Class A-L-R Lenders, pro rata, allocated based on amounts due thereto. Section 2.05 Register. (a) The Borrower shall cause to be kept a register (the "Register") in which, subject to such reasonable procedures as it may prescribe, the Borrower shall provide for the recording and registering of the following information with respect to each Class A-L-R Lender: (i) the name, notice details, wiring instructions and taxpayer identification number of such Class A-L-R Lender, together with the names of the authorized representatives of such Class A-L-R Lender and their mailing address, electronic mail address, telephone and facsimile numbers; (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of (and stated interest on) the Class A- L Loans funded or otherwise held by such Class A-L-R Lender; and

-7- (iii) the Refinancing Date or applicable Additional Incurrence Date with respect to the Class A-L Loans of such Class A-L-R Lender. The Loan Agent is hereby appointed "Registrar" for the purpose of registering and recording the information described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. The Loan Agent shall update the information contained in the Register upon (i) the transfer of any Class A-L Loan, (ii) the funding of any Additional Class A-L Loan and (iii) the receipt of written notice from the Borrower or the applicable Class A-L-R Lender confirming a change in the notice details or the authorized representatives of any Class A-L-R Lender. Absent manifest error, the information contained in the Register will be prima facie evidence of the rights and obligations of each Class A-L-R Lender with respect to the Class A-L Loans held by such Class A-L-R Lender and the Borrower and the Class A-L-R Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Class A-L- R Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. On the Refinancing Date, on the date of each amendment thereto and from time to time upon request from the Registrar under the Indenture, the Registrar shall provide to the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager a copy of the information contained in the Register and, upon request at any time by a Class A-L-R Lender, the Registrar shall provide such Class A-L-R Lender a copy of the information contained in the Register relating to the Class A-L Loans held by such Class A-L-R Lender. Section 2.06 Additional Class A-L Loans. (a) On any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period and upon satisfaction of the conditions to such incurrence set forth in Section 2.13(a) of the Indenture, the Borrower may incur additional Class A-L Loans hereunder (each an "Additional Class A-L Loan"). The existing Class A-L-R Lenders shall have the first opportunity to make each Additional Class A-L Loan in such amounts as are necessary to preserve (as closely as reasonably practicable taking into consideration minimum denomination requirements) their pro rata holdings of Class A-L Loans or, if they decline, additional Persons (each an "Additional Class A-L-R Lender") may deliver a signature page and become Class A-L-R Lenders for all purposes hereunder. (b) Any Additional Class A-L Loans issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall constitute Class A-L Loans for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture as if such Additional Class A-L Loans had been incurred on the Refinancing Date, except that (for the avoidance of doubt) interest shall accrue with respect to any Additional Class A-L Loans from the applicable Additional Incurrence Date, the interest rate on such Additional Class A-L Loans may be lower (but not higher) than the interest rate on the initial Class A-L Loans, the CUSIP numbers (if any), date of issuance and price of such Additional Class A-L Loans do not have to be identical to those of the initial Class A-L Loans and the Non-Call Period for such Additional Class A-L Loans may differ.

-8- Section 2.07 Conversion to Class A Notes. (a) Upon written notice from a Class A-L-R Lender to the Loan Agent, the Trustee, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agency, such Class A-L-R Lender may elect a Business Day (such Business Day, the "Conversion Date") upon which all or a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-L Loans made by such Class A-L-R Lender shall be converted into Class A Notes subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Indenture and this Agreement; provided that (i) the Conversion Date shall be no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the date such notice is delivered (unless otherwise reasonably agreed to by the Borrower, such Class A-L-R Lender, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager) and may not be between a Record Date and the related Payment Date or Redemption Date, as applicable and (ii) any Class A Notes issued upon conversion of such Class A-L Loans into Class A Notes that are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the outstanding Class A Notes will be identified with separate CUSIP numbers. (b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 2.14(b) of the Indenture and this Agreement, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes will be increased by the current outstanding principal amount of the Class A-L Loans so converted and the Loan Agent shall (i) cause such Class A-L Loans so converted to be cancelled, (ii) record the conversion in the Register and (iii) notify the Borrower and the Trustee, upon which notification (x) the Borrower shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Class A Notes in the form of a Certificated Note and/or (y) the Trustee shall approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of each applicable Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Class A Note equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-L Loans so converted. (c) Upon satisfaction of the requirements specified above, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes will be increased by the current outstanding principal amount of the Class A-L Loans so converted and the Class A-L Loans so converted will cease to be Outstanding and will be deemed to have been repaid in full for all purposes under the Indenture and this Agreement. Interest accrued on the Class A-L Loans so converted since the prior Payment Date (or the Refinancing Date or Additional Incurrence Date, as applicable, if no Payment Date has occurred since such date) will, as of the Conversion Date, be deemed to have been Outstanding on the corresponding Class A Notes since such prior Payment Date (or the Refinancing Date or Additional Incurrence Date, as applicable, if no Payment Date has occurred since such date) and will thereafter accrue at the Interest Rate applicable to the Class A Notes.

Section 3.02 Several Representations and Covenants of Each Class A-L-R Lender. Each Class A-L-R Lender severally represents and warrants (as to itself only) to the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee, as of the date hereof, as of the date each transferee becomes a Class A-L-R Lender in accordance with Section 7.03 hereof and as of the date of each Class A-L Loan, and covenants as follows: (a) It has the power to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance.

(d) It is not required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. (e) Such Class A-L-R Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Debt. Such Class A-L-R Lender is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Debt, including the loss of all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. Such Class A-L-R Lender has had access to such information concerning the parties to the Transaction Documents and the Debt as it deems necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision, including an opportunity to ask questions and receive information from the parties to the Transaction Documents, and it has received all information that it has requested concerning its purchase of the Debt. Such Class A-L-R Lender has, to the extent it deems necessary, consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisers (its "Advisors") with respect to its purchase of the Debt. Such Class A-L-R Lender (i) has made its own independent investment decision (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction) based upon its own judgment, any advice received from its Advisors, and its review of the final Offering Circular, and not upon any view, advice or representations (whether written or oral) of any party to the Transaction Documents and (ii) hereby reconfirms its decision to make an investment in the Debt to the extent

-11- such decision was made prior to the receipt of the final Offering Circular. No party to a Transaction Document is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to such Class A-L-R Lender. No party to a Transaction Document has given such Class A-L-R Lender any assurance or guarantee as to the expected or projected performance of the Debt. Such Class A-L-R Lender understands that the Debt will be highly illiquid. Such Class A-L-R Lender is prepared to hold the Debt for an indefinite period of time or until maturity. (f) Either: (i) (A) such Class A-L-R Lender understands that the Debt is offered to and purchased by it in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) not involving any public offering in the United States, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S, and that the Debt will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and (B) such Class A-L-R Lender is a Qualified Purchaser; or (ii) (A) such Class A-L-R Lender understands that the Debt is offered to and purchased by it in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A, and that the Debt will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and (B) such Class A-L-R Lender is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser, and is not: (I) a dealer of the type described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 144A unless it, as applicable, owns and invests on a discretionary basis not less than $25,000,000 in securities of non-affiliated issuers of the dealer; and (II) a participant-directed employee plan (such as a 401(k) plan), or any other type of plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, unless investment decisions with respect to such plan are made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan and not by beneficiaries of the plan. Such Class A-L-R Lender is acquiring the Debt as principal for its own account for investment and not for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Such Class A-L-R Lender was not formed solely for the purpose of investing in the Debt and is not a (i) partnership, (ii) common trust fund or (iii) special trust, pension fund or retirement plan in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants, as applicable, may designate the particular investments to be made. Such Class A-L-R Lender agrees that it will not hold such Debt for the benefit of any other person and will be the sole beneficial owner thereof for all purposes and that, except pursuant to a written agreement with the Borrower requiring compliance with the provisions of the Indenture and this Agreement applicable to the transfer of an interest in such Debt, it will not sell participation interests in the Debt or enter into any other arrangement pursuant to which any other person will be entitled to a beneficial interest in the distributions on the Debt and further that the Debt purchased directly or indirectly by it constitute an investment of no more than 40% of such Class A-L-R Lender's assets. Such Class A-L-R Lender understands that neither the Borrower or the

-12- pool of Assets has been registered under the Investment Company Act, and that the Borrower is exempt from registration as such by virtue of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. (g) Such Class A-L-R Lender is not purchasing the Debt with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Such Class A-L- R Lender will not, at any time, offer to buy or offer to sell the Debt by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or discussed at any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or advertising. (h) Such Class A-L-R Lender understands that any transfer of any interest in the Debt may be made only pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign securities laws and in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. (i) The Class A-L-R Lender's acquisition, holding and disposition of the Class A-L Loans will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or, in the case of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan, a violation of any Other Plan Law. If such Class A-L-R Lender becomes a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, it agrees to act in accordance with Section 2.12(c) of the Indenture. The consent of any such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder to a conversion of the Class A-L Loans into Class A Notes as set forth in the final Offering Circular may be deemed to have been provided to any such conversion that is effective upon such sale upon the request of the applicable purchaser. If such Class A-L-R Lender is a Benefit Plan Investor, it represents that (i) none of the transaction parties, or any of their respective affiliates, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA to the Benefit Plan Investor, or to any Fiduciary, in connection with its acquisition of the Class A-L Loans, and (ii) the Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Class A-L Loans. Such Class A-L-R Lender understands that the representations made in this clause (i) will be deemed to be made on each day from the date that such Class A-L-R Lender acquires an interest in the Debt until the date it has disposed of its interests in such Debt. In the event that any representation in this clause (i) becomes untrue, such Class A- L-R Lender will immediately notify the Loan Agent and the Trustee (or, after the Conversion Date, only the Trustee). (j) Such Class A-L-R Lender represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees to the tax-related transfer restrictions set forth in Section 2.12 of the Indenture, to the extent applicable to the Class A Notes, and as if such restrictions had been set forth herein in their entirety, mutatis mutantis. (k) [Reserved]. (l) [Reserved].

-13- (m) Each Class A-L-R Lender acknowledges that the Borrower may receive a list of Class A-L-R Lenders from the Registrar. (n) Each Class A-L-R Lender agrees that (i) any sale, pledge or other transfer of the Debt (or any interest therein) made in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth herein or made based upon any false or inaccurate representation made by such Class A-L-R Lender or a transferee will be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect and (ii) none of the parties to the Transaction Documents has any obligation to recognize any sale, pledge or other transfer of the Debt (or any interest therein) made in violation of any such transfer restriction or made based upon any such false or inaccurate representation. (o) It will comply with the provisions of the Indenture applicable to it as a Holder. (p) Such Class A-L-R Lender understands that, to the extent required by the Borrower, as determined by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Loan Agent, impose additional transfer restrictions on the Class A-L Loans to comply with the Patriot Act and other similar laws or regulations, including, without limitation, requiring each transferee of Class A-L Loans to make such representations to the Borrower as may be required in connection with such compliance. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS Section 4.01 Refinancing Date. The obligations of the Class A-L-R Lenders to make Class A-L Loans on the Refinancing Date shall not become effective until the time on the Refinancing Date that (x) the Indenture and this Agreement are executed and delivered and (y) the Class A-L Loans have been assigned ratings of "AAA (sf)" by S&P. ARTICLE V THE LOAN AGENT AND THE TRUSTEE Section 5.01 Appointment.

Section 5.02 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

-14- (b) Each of the rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Indenture, shall also apply to the Loan Agent and the Trustee under this Agreement, mutatis mutandis; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to impose upon the Loan Agent any of the duties or standard of care (including, without limitation, any duties of a prudent person) of the Trustee. (c) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Loan Agent and the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02. Section 5.03 Compensation. (a) The Borrower agrees, subject to Section 5.03(b): (i) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to pay or reimburse each of the Loan Agent and the Trustee in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Loan Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, in accordance with any provision of this Agreement or the Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and external legal counsel, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith); and (ii) to indemnify the Loan Agent and the Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and costs of agents, experts and external attorneys) incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of any of the Loan Agent's or Trustee's, as applicable, obligations or duties under this Agreement or the Indenture or the enforcement of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether brought by or involving the Borrower or any third party) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or the enforcement of the Borrower's obligations hereunder. (b) Any amounts payable to the Loan Agent or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute Administrative Expenses, payable on each Payment Date only to the extent that funds are available for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and any such amounts not paid on or prior to any Payment Date shall remain outstanding and shall be payable on the next Payment Date on which funds are available for such purpose pursuant to the Priority of Payments. (c) The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of the Loan Agent or the Trustee (to the extent of any fees or indemnified liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts arising or incurred prior to, or arising out of actions or omissions occurring prior to, such termination, resignation or removal).

-15- Section 5.04 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of a Successor.

(b) Subject to Section 5.04(a), the Loan Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 60 days' written notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Class A- L-R Lenders and the Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a successor loan agent satisfying the requirements of Section 5.06 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Loan Agent so resigning and one copy to the successor Loan Agent, together with a copy to each Class A-L-R Lender and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor Loan Agent shall be appointed only upon the Act of a Majority of the Class A-L-R Lenders. If no successor Loan Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Loan Agent shall not have been delivered to the Loan Agent within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Loan Agent or any Class A-L-R Lender, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Loan Agent satisfying the requirements of Section 5.06. (c) The Loan Agent may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of the Class A-L Loans (with the consent of the Collateral Manager), delivered with 30 days' notice to the Loan Agent, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower. In addition, if at any time the Loan Agent shall breach its obligations hereunder or under the Indenture, or shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Loan Agent or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Loan Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation then, in any such case (subject to Section 5.04(a)), (i) the Borrower may, by Issuer Order, remove the Loan Agent, or (ii) any Class A-L-R Lender may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Loan Agent and the appointment of a successor Loan Agent. (d) If the Loan Agent shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Loan Agent for any reason (other than resignation), the Borrower, by written instrument, shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Agent. If the Borrower shall fail to appoint a successor Loan Agent within 60 days after such removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Loan Agent may be appointed by a Majority of the Class A-L Loans by written instrument delivered to the Borrower and the retiring Loan Agent. The successor Loan Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Loan Agent. If no successor Loan Agent shall have been so appointed by the Borrower or a Majority of the Class A-L Loans and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Loan Agent or any Class A-L-R Lender may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Loan Agent.

Section 5.05 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Loan Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower and the retiring Loan Agent an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instrument, the resignation or removal of the retiring Loan Agent shall become effective and such successor Loan Agent, without any other act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the retiring Loan Agent; provided that upon request of the Borrower or a Majority of the Class A-L Loans or the successor Loan Agent, such retiring Loan Agent shall, upon payment of its fees and expenses then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Loan Agent all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the retiring Loan Agent. Section 5.06 Loan Agent Criteria. The Loan Agent, and any entity appointed as a successor Loan Agent, shall be subject to the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.8 of the Indenture.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Class A-L Loan Event of Default and the acceleration of the Borrower's obligations under the Indenture pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2

-17- of the Indenture, the unpaid principal amount of the Class A-L Loans, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder in respect of the Class A-L Loans, shall automatically become immediately due and payable by the Borrower hereunder, subject to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that upon the rescission or annulment of the related Event of Default and acceleration under the Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof, any such acceleration shall automatically be rescinded and annulled for all purposes hereunder; provided, however, that no such action shall affect any subsequent Default or Class A-L Loan Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Class A-L Loans shall not be accelerated prior to maturity unless the Borrower's obligations under the Indenture have been concurrently accelerated. Section 6.02 Rights Under Indenture; Remedies Cumulative. (a) Each Class A-L-R Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all rights of the Class A-L-R Lenders set forth in the Indenture, including but not limited to enforcement of rights following an Event of Default under the Indenture and exercise of such rights shall not preclude any Class A-L-R Lender from exercising any of its rights hereunder. (b) No remedy conferred in this Agreement or in the Indenture upon any Class A-L-R Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. (c) No course of dealing between the Borrower and any Class A-L-R Lender and no delay or failure in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Indenture in respect thereof shall operate as a waiver of any of the rights of any Class A-L-R Lender. (d) Each Class A-L-R Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Debt pursuant to Article V of the Indenture and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Debt hereunder shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS Section 7.01 Notices.

Section 7.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) Each waiver of any provision of this Agreement and consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. The making of a Class A-L Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether the Trustee, the Loan Agent, any Class A-L-R Lender or any Noteholder may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time. (b) This Agreement may only be waived, amended or modified in writing by the Borrower, the Loan Agent and the Trustee if, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel (upon which the Loan Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely and which may be supported by a certificate from the Collateral Manager), (i) all conditions precedent provided in the Indenture, including consent requirements with respect to the Collateral Manager and each Class of Debt, applicable to such amendment (if such amendment were to be effected to the Indenture) are satisfied with respect thereto, mutatis mutandis (for which purpose, references to the Trustee in the Indenture will be deemed to refer to the Loan Agent and/or the Trustee, as applicable) and (ii) after giving effect to such amendment, this Agreement is not inconsistent with any term of the Indenture in any material respect. For purposes of interpreting the Indenture in connection with any amendment to this Agreement, the Class A-L Loans and the Class A Notes will be treated as separate Classes. Any written notice of a waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Rating Agency in accordance with the Indenture. (c) A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Section 7.03 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and transferees. Any successor to the Trustee under the Indenture shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without any further act on the party of any of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be

-19- construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and transferees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Any purported transfer not in compliance with this Section 7.03 shall be null and void. (b) The Borrower may not assign or delegate any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of each Class A-L-R Lender, the Loan Agent and the Trustee; provided that each Class A-L-R Lender, the Loan Agent and the Trustee each hereby acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement, the Borrower has granted the Collateral Manager the right to take certain actions hereunder on its behalf. (c) Each Class A-L-R Lender may transfer to one or more transferees all or a portion of its Class A-L Loans and the related rights and obligations under this Agreement if (A) with respect to any transfer by a Class A-L-R Lender of less than all of its Class A-L Loans, after giving effect to such transfer, each of the transferor and the transferee shall hold Class A-L Loans in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, (B) all conditions precedent to the transfer of the relevant Class A-L Loan specified herein and in the Indenture have been satisfied, (C) the parties to such transfer have executed and delivered to the Loan Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and the Borrower shall have consented to such transfer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and (D) the Class A-L-R Lender effecting the transfer has paid a sum sufficient to Borrower (as determined in the Borrower's reasonable discretion) as may be necessary to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable by Borrower in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 7.03(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto, (y) the Trustee and the Loan Agent shall be notified of such transfer and the Loan Agent shall update the Register to reflect such transfer, and (z) to the extent of the interest transferred by such Assignment and Acceptance, the transferee shall have the rights and obligations of a Class A-L-R Lender under this Agreement, and the transferring Class A-L-R Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the transferring Class A-L-R Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and in respect of Class A-L Loans, such Class A-L-R Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). The Borrower shall provide, or cause to be provided, notice of any such transfer to S&P. (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by a transferring Class A-L-R Lender and a transferee, the Loan Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the Class A-L-R Lender identification and amount transferred in the Register.

Section 7.04 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower, the Loan Agent and each Class A-L-R Lender herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture

-20- shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Class A-L Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Trustee, the Loan Agent or any Class A-L-R Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Class A-L Loan or any amount payable under this Agreement or the Indenture in respect of any Class A-L Loan is outstanding and unpaid.

(b) Subject to Section 2(a), Section 2(c)(i), Section 2(c)(iii), Section 2(d), Section 2(e), Section 5, Section 7 and Section 10 and to the applicable provisions of the Indenture and of this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall, and is hereby authorized to: (i) select the Collateral Obligations, Restructured Loans, Workout Loans and Eligible Investments to be acquired, sold, terminated or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer; (ii) invest and reinvest the Assets (provided that, the investments and reinvestments in Collateral Obligations are subject to certain conditions); (iii) instruct the Trustee with respect to any acquisition, disposition, or tender of a Collateral Obligation, Restructured Loan, Workout Loan, Equity Security, Eligible Investment or other assets received in respect thereof in the open market or otherwise by the Issuer; (iv) advise the Issuer with respect to entering into and administering Hedge Agreements, including whether and when the Issuer should exercise any rights available thereunder; (v) determine whether any investment satisfies each of the criteria in the definition of Collateral Obligation; (vi) determine whether any investment satisfies each of the criteria in the definition of Concentration Limitations; (vii) determine whether any investment is an Eligible Investment; (viii) monitor the compliance with the Coverage Tests and the Collateral Quality Tests; (ix) determine the Market Value of each Collateral Obligation, Restructured Loan or Workout Loan;

(x) monitor the ratings of the Collateral Obligations, consult on behalf of the Issuer with S&P at such times as may be reasonably requested by S&P and providing S&P with any information reasonably requested in connection with S&P's monitoring of the Collateral Obligations and S&P’s maintenance of its ratings of the Secured Debt; and (xi) perform all other tasks that the Indenture, the Collateral Administration Agreement or this Agreement specify to be taken by the Collateral Manager and may, in the Collateral Manager’s discretion, take any other actions not inconsistent with, the duties of the Collateral Manager set forth in the Indenture, the Collateral Administration Agreement or this Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall, and is hereby authorized to, perform its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture in a manner which is consistent with the terms hereof and of the Indenture. The Collateral Manager will not be bound to comply with any supplement to the Indenture and/or the Loan Agreement, however, until it has received a copy of any such supplement from the Issuer or the Trustee and unless the Collateral Manager has consented thereto in writing, as provided in the Indenture. The Issuer agrees that it will not permit to become effective any supplement to the Indenture and/or the Loan Agreement that modifies the obligations or liabilities of the Collateral Manager or affects the amount or basis of calculation or priority any fees payable to the Collateral Manager unless the Collateral Manager has been given prior written notice of such amendment and unless the Collateral Manager has expressly consented thereto in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(b), none of the services performed by the Collateral Manager shall result in or be construed as resulting in an obligation to perform any of the following: (i) the Collateral Manager acting repeatedly or continuously as an intermediary in securities for the Issuer; (ii) the Collateral Manager providing investment banking services to the Issuer; or (iii) the Collateral Manager having direct contact with, or actively soliciting or finding, outside investors to invest in the Issuer. (c) Subject to the provisions concerning its general duties and obligations as set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above and the terms of the Indenture, the Collateral Manager shall provide, and is hereby authorized to provide, the following services to the Issuer: (i) The Collateral Manager shall perform the investment-related duties and functions (including, without limitation, the furnishing of Issuer Orders and Authorized Officer’s certificates) as are expressly required hereunder and under the Indenture with regard to acquisitions, sales or other dispositions of Collateral Obligations, Workout Loans, Equity Securities, Eligible Investments and other assets permitted to be acquired or sold under, and subject to, the Indenture (including any proceeds received by way of Offers, workouts and restructurings on assets owned by the Issuer). The Collateral Manager shall have no obligation to perform any other duties other than as expressly specified herein or in the Indenture and the Collateral Manager shall be subject to no implicit obligations of any kind. The Issuer hereby irrevocably (except as provided below) appoints the Collateral Manager as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the performance of its duties provided for in this Agreement or in the Indenture, including, without limitation, the

following powers: (A) to give or cause to be given any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (B) to make or cause to be made all necessary transfers of the Collateral Obligations, Workout Loans, Equity Securities and Eligible Investments in connection with any acquisition, sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto and the Indenture, (C) to execute (under hand, under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Issuer all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments, agreements and other instruments in connection with any such acquisition, sale or other disposition and (D) to execute (under hand, under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Issuer any consents, votes, proxies, waivers, notices, amendments, modifications, agreements, instruments, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture and relating to any Collateral Obligation, Restructured Loan, Workout Loan, Equity Security and Eligible Investment. The Issuer hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and authorizes such attorney-in-fact to exercise full discretion and act for the Issuer in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the managers or officers of the Issuer might or could do in respect of the performance of such services, as well as in respect of all other things the Collateral Manager deems necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such services, subject in each case to the other terms of this Agreement. The Issuer hereby authorizes such attorney-in-fact, in its sole discretion (but subject to applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture), to take all actions that it considers reasonably necessary and appropriate in respect of the Assets, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Manager or by a purchaser of any Collateral Obligation, Restructured Loan, Workout Loan, Equity Security, Eligible Investment or other asset, the Issuer shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Manager or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases, powers of attorney, proxies, dividends, other orders and other instruments as may reasonably be designated in any such request. Except as otherwise set forth and provided for herein, this grant of power of attorney is coupled with an interest, and it shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent dissolution or bankruptcy of the Issuer or an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the appointment herein of the Collateral Manager as the Issuer’s agent and attorney-in-fact shall automatically cease and terminate upon the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, the resignation of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 12 or any removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 14. Each of the Collateral Manager and the Issuer shall take such other actions, and furnish such certificates, opinions and other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the other party hereto in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to facilitate compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture. From and after an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager shall continue to perform and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the power of attorney granted herein is in all cases and for all purposes qualified and limited by the Indenture and other Transaction Documents and, as such, the power of attorney granted hereby is limited rather than general.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Indenture, none of the services performed by the Collateral Manager shall result in or be construed as resulting in an obligation to perform any of the following: (i) the Collateral Manager acting as an intermediary in securities for the Issuer; (ii) the Collateral Manager providing investment banking services to the Issuer; (iii) the Collateral Manager having direct contact with, or soliciting or finding, outside investors to invest in the Issuer or (iv) the Collateral Manager authorizing or causing the disbursement of money or other assets of the Issuer, except in accordance with this Agreement, the Indenture, or any other Transaction Documents or in connection with the acquisition, sale or disposal of the Issuer’s Assets. (ii) The Collateral Manager shall instruct the Issuer with respect to the acquisition of Collateral Obligations by the Issuer in accordance with the Indenture. (iii) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall monitor the Assets on behalf of the Issuer on an ongoing basis and shall provide or cause to be provided to the Issuer all reports, schedules and other data reasonably available to the Collateral Manager that the Issuer is required to prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered under the Indenture, in such forms and containing such information required thereby, in reasonably sufficient time for such required reports, schedules and data to be reviewed and delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer to the parties entitled thereto under the Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Collateral Administrator will provide certain reports, schedules and calculations to the Collateral Manager regarding the Collateral Obligations. The obligation of the Collateral Manager to furnish such information is subject to the Collateral Manager’s timely receipt of necessary reports and the appropriate information from the Person responsible for the delivery of or preparation of such reports and such information (including without limitation, the Obligors of the Collateral Obligations, S&P, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator) and to any confidentiality restrictions with respect thereto. The Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by a Person that the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized. The Collateral Manager also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and made by a Person the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Manager is entitled to rely on any other information furnished to it by third parties that it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine. (iv) The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall be responsible for obtaining, to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent such information is readily available to it, any information concerning whether a Collateral Obligation is a Discount Obligation or has become a Defaulted Obligation, a Credit Risk Obligation, a Current Pay Obligation or a Credit Improved Obligation. (v) The Collateral Manager may, subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, as agent of the Issuer and on behalf of the Issuer, take or, if applicable, direct

the Trustee to take any of the following actions with respect to a Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Equity Security or Eligible Investment, as applicable: (A) purchase or otherwise acquire such Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan or Eligible Investment; (B) retain such Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Equity Security or Eligible Investment; (C) sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Equity Security or Eligible Investment (including any assets received by way of Offers, workouts and restructurings on assets owned by the Issuer) in the open market or otherwise; (D) if applicable, tender such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security, Eligible Investment; (E) if applicable, consent to or refuse to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, restructuring, exchange, waiver or Offer; (F) retain or dispose of any securities or other property (if other than cash) received by the Issuer; (G) waive any default with respect to any Collateral Obligation; (H) vote to accelerate the maturity of any Collateral Obligation; (I) participate in a committee or group formed by creditors of an issuer or a borrower under a Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Eligible Investment or Equity Security; (J) after or in connection with the payment in full of all amounts owed under the Secured Debt and the termination without replacement of the Indenture or in connection with any redemption or Refinancing of the Secured Debt, advise the Issuer as to when, in the view of the Collateral Manager, it would be in the best interest of the Issuer to liquidate all or any portion of the Issuer’s investment portfolio (and, if applicable, after discharge of the Indenture) and render such assistance as may be necessary or required by the Issuer in connection with such liquidation or any actions necessary to effectuate a redemption or Refinancing of the Secured Debt; (K) advise and assist the Issuer with respect to the valuation of the Assets, to the extent required or permitted by the Indenture; (L) provide strategic and financial planning (including advice on utilization of assets), financial statements and other similar reports;

(M) negotiate, modify or amend any loan for the Issuer as authorized by the Indenture in accordance with a Refinancing; and (N) exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to such Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Equity Security or Eligible Investment as provided in the Underlying Documents of the obligor or issuer under such Assets or the other documents governing the terms of such Assets or take any other action consistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Indenture which the Collateral Manager reasonably determines to be in the best interests of the Holders. (vi) The Collateral Manager may, upon request of the Issuer, retain accounting, tax, counsel and other professional services on behalf of the Issuer, as applicable. (vii) In connection with the acquisition of any loan or Participation Interest by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager shall prepare, on behalf of the Issuer, the information required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. (viii) Where the Collateral Manager executes on behalf of the Issuer an agreement or instrument pursuant to which any security interest over any assets of the Issuer is created or released, the Collateral Manager shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Issuer and shall provide the Issuer with such information and/or copy documentation in respect thereof as the Issuer may reasonably require. (d) In performing its duties hereunder and when exercising its discretion and judgment in connection with any transactions involving the Assets, the Collateral Manager shall carry out any reasonable written directions of the Issuer for the purpose of the Issuer’s compliance with its Organizational Instruments, the Indenture and/or the Loan Agreement; provided that, such directions are not inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement or the Indenture by which the Collateral Manager is bound or prohibited by applicable law. (e) In providing services hereunder, the Collateral Manager may rely in good faith upon and will incur no liability for relying upon advice of nationally recognized counsel, accountants or other advisers as the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, is reasonably appropriate in connection with the services provided by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement. The Collateral Manager may, without the consent of any party, employ third parties, including, without limitation, its Affiliates and Owners, to render advice (including investment advice), to provide services to arrange for trade execution and otherwise provide assistance to the Issuer and to perform any of its duties hereunder; provided that, the Collateral Manager shall not be relieved of any of its duties hereunder regardless of the performance of any services by third parties, including Affiliates. The Issuer hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Manager has engaged Churchill DLC Advisor LLC as its external advisor, and Churchill DLC Advisor LLC has engaged Churchill Asset Management LLC as a sub-advisor, and the Issuer hereby acknowledges that certain asset management functions of the Collateral Manager will be performed by the BDC Advisor or the Sub-Advisor or their respective investment professionals pursuant to such engagement. Section 3. Purchase and Sale Transactions; Brokerage.

(a) The Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, hereby agrees that it shall cause any Transaction to be conducted on terms and conditions negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and in accordance with applicable law. Except as expressly permitted under the Indenture, no Assets (other than any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations) shall be purchased if such Assets may give rise to any obligation or liability on the Issuer’s part to take any action or make any payment other than at the Issuer’s option. Further, the Collateral Manager will not cause or allow the Issuer to acquire any obligation of a Portfolio Company. (b) The Manager Parties will seek to obtain the best execution (but shall have no obligation to obtain the lowest price available) for all orders placed with respect to any Transaction, in a manner permitted by law and in a manner they believe to be in the best interests of the Issuer. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Manager Parties may, in the allocation of business, select brokers and/or dealers with whom to effect trades on behalf of the Issuer and may open cash trading accounts with such brokers and dealers (provided that, none of the Assets may be credited to, held in or subject to the lien of the broker or dealer with respect to any such account). In addition, subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Manager Parties may, in the allocation of business, take into consideration research and other brokerage services furnished to the Manager Parties or their Affiliates by brokers and dealers which are not Affiliates of the Manager Parties; provided that, the Manager Parties in good faith believe that the compensation for such services rendered by such brokers and dealers complies with the requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Section 28(e)”), or in the case of principal or fixed income transactions for which the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e) is not available, the amount of the spread charged is reasonable in relation to the value of the research and other brokerage services provided. Such services may be used by the Collateral Manager in connection with its other advisory activities or investment operations. The Manager Parties may aggregate sales and purchase orders of securities placed with respect to the Assets with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the Manager Parties or with accounts of the Affiliates of the Manager Parties, if in the Manager Parties’ reasonable judgment such aggregation shall not result in an overall economic detriment to the Issuer, taking into consideration all circumstances that it considers relevant. When a Transaction occurs as part of any aggregate sales or purchase orders, the objective of the Manager Parties will be to allocate the executions among the accounts in an equitable manner and in accordance with the internal policies and procedures of the Manager Parties (as such may be amended from time to time, the “Internal Policies”) and applicable law. (c) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the determination by the Collateral Manager of any benefit (or lack of detriment) to the Issuer will be subjective and will represent the Collateral Manager’s evaluation at the time taking into consideration all circumstances that it considers relevant, (ii) under some circumstances, such allocation may adversely affect the Issuer with respect to the price or size of the positions being sold to the Issuer and (iii) the Collateral Manager shall be fully protected with respect to any such determination to the extent the Collateral Manager acts in accordance with Section 2(a) herein. The Collateral Manager is expected to acquire all of the Subordinated Notes (including those Subordinated Notes that are not part of the U.S. Retention Interest) on the Refinancing Date and owns, and expects to continue to own, 100% of the membership interests in the Issuer. In addition, the Collateral Manager or any of its

Affiliates may acquire Notes of the Issuer at any time for its own account. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that such investment(s) may give rise to conflicts of interest. (d) Subject to the Collateral Manager’s execution obligations described in Sections 3(a), 3(b) and 3(e) and the covenants set forth in Section 5, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized to effect client cross-transactions where the Collateral Manager causes a Transaction to be effected between the Issuer and another account advised by it or any of its Affiliates; provided that, if and to the extent required by the Advisers Act, such authorization is terminable prior to the initiation of such cross-transaction at the Issuer’s option through an unaffiliated independent review party without penalty. Such termination shall be effective upon receipt by the Collateral Manager of written notice from the Issuer. (e) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may acquire or sell obligations or securities, for its own account or for the accounts of its customers, without either requiring or precluding the acquisition or sale of such obligations or securities for the account of the Issuer. Such investments may be the same or different from those made on behalf of the Issuer. In the event that, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to acquire the same Collateral Obligation both for the Issuer and either the proprietary account of the Manager Parties or another client of the Manager Parties, the Manager Parties shall allocate the executions among the accounts in an equitable manner in accordance with the Internal Policies and procedures as it and its Affiliates (including the Manager Parties and their advisory affiliates) may have in place from time to time . The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may enter into, for their own accounts or for the accounts of others, credit default swaps relating to obligors and issuers with respect to the Collateral Obligations included in the Assets. The Issuer acknowledges that other funds or investment accounts managed by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may require the Collateral Manager or such Affiliates to apply a different valuation methodology in valuing specific investments than the valuation methodology set forth in the Transaction Documents for the Issuer. As a result of such different methodology, the value of certain investments held in such separately managed funds or accounts may differ from the value assigned to the same investments held by the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. Section 4. Additional Activities of the Collateral Manager. Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses, or from rendering services of any kind to the Issuer, the Loan Agent, the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser, any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes or their respective Affiliates or any other Person regardless of whether such business is in competition with the Issuer or otherwise. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, partners, members, shareholders, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the Collateral Manager, Affiliates of the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager may: (a) serve as managers or directors (whether supervisory or managing), officers, employees, partners, agents, nominees or signatories for the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof, or for any obligor or issuer in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Workout Loans, Restructured Loans, Equity Securities or Eligible Investments or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent permitted by their respective Organizational Instruments and Underlying Documents, as from time to time

amended, or by any resolutions duly adopted by the Issuer, its Affiliates or any obligor or issuer in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Workout Loans, Eligible Investments or Equity Securities (or any Affiliate thereof) pursuant to their respective Organizational Instruments; (b) receive fees for loan origination or services of whatever nature rendered to the obligor or issuer in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Workout Loans, Restructured Loans, Eligible Investments or Equity Securities or any Affiliate thereof; (c) be retained to provide services unrelated to this Agreement to the Issuer or its Affiliates and be paid therefor, on an arm’s-length basis; (d) be a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold a debt obligation of or equity interest in, the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof or any obligor or issuer of any Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Eligible Investment or Equity Security or any Affiliate thereof; (e) subject to Section 3(d) and Section 5, sell any Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan or Eligible Investment to, or purchase or acquire any Collateral Obligation or Equity Security or Eligible Investment from, the Issuer while acting in the capacity of principal or agent; (f) underwrite, arrange, structure, originate, syndicate, act as a distributor of or make a market in any Collateral Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment and receive fees and other compensation from the Issuer and other parties in connection therewith; (g) serve as a member of any “creditors’ board,” “creditors’ committee” or similar creditor group with respect to any Collateral Obligation, Workout Loan, Restructured Loan, Defaulted Obligation, Eligible Investment or Equity Security; or (h) act as collateral manager, portfolio manager, investment manager and/or investment adviser or sub-adviser in collateralized bond obligation vehicles, collateralized loan obligation vehicles and other similar warehousing, financing or other investment vehicles. As a result, such individuals may possess information relating to obligors and issuers of Collateral Obligations that is (i) not known to or (ii) known but restricted as to its use by the individuals at the Collateral Manager responsible for monitoring the Collateral Obligations and performing the other obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement. Each of such ownership and other relationships may result in securities laws restrictions on transactions in such securities by the Issuer and otherwise create conflicts of interest for the Issuer. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, in all such instances, the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may in their discretion make investment recommendations and decisions that may be the same as or different from those made with respect to the Issuer’s investments and they have no duty, in making or managing such investments, to act in a way that is favorable to the Issuer. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager may be prevented from causing the Issuer to transact in certain assets due to internal restrictions imposed on the Collateral Manager regarding the possession and use of material and/or non-public information.

Unless the Collateral Manager determines in its sole discretion that such Transaction complies with the provisions of Section 5, the Collateral Manager will not direct the Trustee to acquire or sell securities issued by (i) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or any of its officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, (ii) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, or any of its respective Affiliates act as principal or (iii) Persons about which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates have material non-public information which the Collateral Manager deems would prohibit it from advising as to the trading of such securities in accordance with applicable law. It is understood that the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates may engage in any other business and furnish investment management and advisory services to others, including Persons which may have investment policies similar to those followed by the Collateral Manager with respect to the Assets and which may own securities or obligations of the same class, or which are of the same type, as the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments or other securities or obligations of the obligors or issuers of the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates will be free, in their sole discretion, to make recommendations to others, or effect transactions on behalf of itself or for others, which may be the same as or different from those effected with respect to the Assets. Nothing in the Indenture and this Agreement shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, acting either as principal or agent on behalf of others, from buying or selling, or from recommending to or directing any other account to buy or sell, at any time, securities or obligations of the same kind or class, or securities or obligations of a different kind or class of the same obligor or issuer, as those directed by the Collateral Manager to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Issuer. It is understood that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Manager, its Owners, their Affiliates or their respective Related Persons or any member of their families or a Person or entity advised by the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or their respective Related Persons may have an interest in a particular transaction or in securities or obligations of the same kind or class, or securities or obligations of a different kind or class of the same issuer, as those whose purchase or sale the Collateral Manager may direct hereunder. In the event that, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to acquire the same Collateral Obligation both for the Issuer, and either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or another client of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager will employ allocation procedures consistent with such procedures as it and its Affiliates (including the Manager Parties and their advisory affiliates) may have in place from time to time for the BDC Advisor and its advisory affiliates. The Issuer agrees that, in the course of managing the Collateral Obligations held by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager may consider its relationships with other Clients (including obligors and issuers) and its Affiliates. The Collateral Manager may decline to make a particular investment for the Issuer in view of such relationships. Additionally, the Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may enter into, for their own accounts or for the accounts of others, credit default swaps relating to Obligors and issuers with respect to the Collateral Obligations included in the Assets. The Issuer agrees that neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its Affiliates is under any obligation to offer all investment opportunities of which they become aware to the Issuer or to account to the Issuer for (or share with the Issuer or inform the Issuer of) any such transaction or any benefit received by them from any such transaction. The Issuer understands that the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates may have, for their own accounts or for the accounts of others,

portfolios with substantially the same portfolio criteria as are applicable to the Issuer. Furthermore, the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates may make an investment on behalf of any Client or on their own behalf without offering the investment opportunity or making any investment on behalf of the Issuer and, accordingly, investment opportunities may not be allocated among all such Clients. The Issuer acknowledges that affirmative obligations may arise in the future, whereby the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates are obligated to offer certain investments to Clients before or without the Collateral Manager’s offering those investments to the Issuer. The Issuer agrees that the Collateral Manager may make investments on behalf of the Issuer in securities or obligations that it has declined to invest in or enter into for its own account, the account of any of the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates or the account of any other Client. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may make and/or hold investments in an obligor’s or issuer’s obligations or securities that may be pari passu, senior or junior in ranking to an investment in such obligor’s or issuer’s obligations or securities made and/or held by the Issuer, or otherwise have interests different from or adverse to those of the Issuer. Section 5. Conflicts of Interest. (a) Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and subject to this Agreement and the Indenture, the Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to acquire a Collateral Obligation from, or sell a Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment or Equity Security to, the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or any account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serve as investment advisor for fair market value; provided that, the Collateral Manager shall obtain the Issuer’s written consent through the Independent Review Party as provided herein if any such transaction requires the consent of the Issuer under Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act (an “Affiliate Transaction”). The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the CM Purchasers are Holders of certain Secured Debt and may purchase (directly or indirectly) the Notes of one or more Classes from time to time. Other than with respect to the Subordinated Notes which the Collateral Manager is required to retain pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, no such person will be required to hold any Notes acquired by it on the Refinancing Date or thereafter for any length of time and may sell some or all of such Notes at any price. In certain circumstances, the interests of the Issuer and/or the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes with respect to matters as to which the Collateral Manager is advising the Issuer may conflict with the interests of the Collateral Manager, its affiliates or its Related Persons. The Issuer hereby acknowledges that various potential and actual conflicts of interest may exist with respect to the Collateral Manager as described above and as described in the Final Offering Circular; provided that, nothing in this Section 5 shall be construed as altering the duties of the Collateral Manager referred to herein. (b) At the written request of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer shall establish a conflicts review board or appoint an independent third party to act on behalf of the Issuer (such board or party, an “Independent Review Party”) with respect to Affiliate Transactions. Decisions of any Independent Review Party shall be binding on the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Holders and beneficial owners of the Debt. (c) Any Independent Review Party (i) shall either (A) be the Issuer’s independent manager, (B) be an established financial institution or other financial company with experience in

assessing the merits of transactions similar to the Affiliate Transactions or (C) be a review board comprised of one or more individuals selected by the Issuer (or at the request of the Issuer, selected by the Collateral Manager), (ii) shall be required to assess the merits of the Affiliate Transaction and either grant or withhold consent to such transaction in its sole judgment and (iii) shall not be (A) affiliated with the Collateral Manager (other than as a Holder or beneficial owner of the Debt or as a passive investor in the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) or (B) (other than the Issuer’s independent manager) involved in the daily management and control of the Issuer. (d) The Issuer (i) shall be responsible for any fees relating to the services provided by any Independent Review Party and shall reimburse members of any Independent Review Party for their out-of-pocket expenses and (ii) may indemnify members of such Independent Review Party to the maximum extent permitted by law, subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to the Collateral Manager. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any fees, expenses or indemnities provided for in this Section 5(d) shall be payable out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Section 6. Records; Confidentiality. The Collateral Manager shall maintain or cause to be maintained appropriate books of account and records relating to its services performed hereunder, and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by representatives of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders, and the Independent accountants appointed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Article X of the Indenture at any time during normal business hours and upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager shall not be required to disclose or share any of its books or records in respect of any loan-level information with respect the Collateral Obligations or any Obligor to any Holder; provided, further, that, to the extent the Collateral Manager does make available any loan-level information with respect the Collateral Obligations or any Obligor, the Collateral Manager has no responsibility for and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information in its possession, whether or not disclosed to any Holder or any other Person, it being understood and acknowledged by the Issuer that the Collateral Manager may have or come into possession from time to time of information that conflicts with the loan-level information in its possession at such time, and shall have no obligation to update, supplement or correct such materials. The Collateral Manager shall keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose any such information to non-affiliated third parties (excluding any Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes) except (a) with the prior written consent of the Issuer, (b) such information as S&P shall reasonably request in connection with its rating of the Secured Debt or supplying credit estimates on any obligation included in the Assets, (c) in connection with establishing trading or investment accounts or otherwise in connection with effecting Transactions on behalf of the Issuer, (d) as required by (i) applicable law, regulation, court order, or a request by a governmental regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the rules or regulations of any self-regulating organization, body or official having jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or (iii) the Irish Stock Exchange, (e) to its professional advisors (including, without limitation, legal, tax and accounting advisors), (f) such information as shall have been publicly disclosed other than in known violation of this Agreement or the provisions of the Indenture or shall have been obtained by the Collateral Manager on a non-confidential basis, (g)

such information as is necessary or appropriate to disclose so that the Collateral Manager may perform its duties hereunder, under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, (h) as expressly permitted in the Final Offering Circular, in the Indenture or in any other Transaction Document or (i) general performance information which may be used by the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or Owners in connection with their marketing activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that the Collateral Manager may disclose (a) that it is serving as collateral manager of the Issuer, (b) the nature, aggregate principal amount and overall performance of the Assets, (c) the amount of earnings on the Assets, (d) such other information about the Issuer, the Assets and the Notes as is customarily disclosed by managers of collateralized loan obligations and (e) each of its respective employees, representatives or other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States federal income tax treatment and United States federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, this Agreement and the related documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such United States federal income tax treatment and United States income tax structure. For purposes of this Section 6, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes shall not be considered “non-affiliated third parties.” Section 7. Obligations of Collateral Manager. (a) In accordance with the performance standard set forth in Section 2(a), the Collateral Manager shall (a) take care to avoid taking any action that would (i) materially adversely affect the status of the Issuer for purposes of United States federal or state law, or other law applicable to the Issuer, (ii) not be permitted by the Issuer’s Organizational Instruments, copies of which the Collateral Manager acknowledges the Issuer has provided to the Collateral Manager, (iii) violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer, including, without limitation, actions which would violate any United States federal, state or other applicable securities law that is known by the Collateral Manager to be applicable to it and, in each case, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer or have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder, (iv) require registration of the Issuer or the pool of Assets as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act (it being understood that the manager has elected to be treated as a “regulated investment company” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code), or (v) knowingly and willfully adversely affect the interests of the Issuer in the Assets in any material respect (other than (A) as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Indenture or (B) in connection with any action taken in the ordinary course of business of the Collateral Manager in accordance with its fiduciary duties to its clients) and (b) comply in all material respects with requirements of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules applicable to it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement and the Indenture, in each case, except in such instances in which (i) such requirement, order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (ii) failure to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer or a material adverse effect on the ability of the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Indenture. If the Collateral Manager is ordered by the Designated Manager of the Issuer or the requisite Holders or beneficial owners of the Debt to take any action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, in each case in its reasonable business judgment, have any such consequences, the Collateral Manager shall promptly notify the Issuer that such action would, or could reasonably be expected to, in each case in its reasonable business judgment, have one or more of the consequences set forth above and shall not

take such action unless the Designated Manager of the Issuer then request the Collateral Manager to do so and both a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes have consented thereto in writing. The Collateral Manager shall provide S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt) with notice of any action taken in accordance with the previous sentence. Notwithstanding any such request, the Collateral Manager shall not take such action unless (1) arrangements satisfactory to it are made to insure or indemnify the Collateral Manager, Affiliates of the Collateral Manager and members, shareholders, partners, managers, directors, officers or employees of the Collateral Manager or such Affiliates from any liability and expense it may incur as a result of such action and (2) if the Collateral Manager so requests in respect of a question of law, the Issuer delivers to the Collateral Manager an Opinion of Counsel (from outside counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Manager) that the action so requested does not violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer or over the Collateral Manager. Neither the Collateral Manager nor its Affiliates, shareholders, partners, members, managers, directors, officers or employees shall be liable to the Issuer or any other Person, except as provided in Section 10. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any indemnification or insurance by the Issuer provided for in this Section 7 or Section 10 shall be payable out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and the Collateral Manager may take into account such Priority of Payments in determining whether any proposed indemnity arrangements contemplated by this Section 7 are satisfactory. (b) So long as the Secured Debt are Outstanding, the Collateral Manager shall retain 100% of the Outstanding Subordinated Notes and shall not transfer such Subordinated Notes unless it receives, in connection with any proposed transfer, written advice of counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States that is experienced in such matters to the effect that such proposed transfer will not require the Collateral Manager to register as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Section 8. Compensation. (a) As compensation for its performance of its obligations as Collateral Manager under this Agreement and the Indenture, the Collateral Manager will be entitled to receive on each Payment Date (in accordance with the Priority of Payments) a fee, which will accrue quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date (prorated for the related Interest Accrual Period), in an amount equal to 0.20% per annum (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360) of the Fee Basis Amount at the beginning of the Collection Period relating to such Payment Date (the “Collateral Management Fee”); provided that the Collateral Management Fees due on any Payment Date shall not include any such fees (or any portion thereof) that have been waived or deferred by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) of this Agreement no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date. The Collateral Management Fees will be payable on each Payment Date to the extent of the funds available for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Collateral Management Fee is payable on each Payment Date only to the extent that sufficient Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments. To the extent the Collateral Management Fee is not paid on a Payment Date due to insufficient Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds (and such fee was not voluntarily deferred or waived by the Collateral Manager), the Collateral Management Fee due on such Payment Date (or

the unpaid portion thereof, as applicable, the “Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount”) will be automatically deferred for payment on the succeeding Payment Date, with interest, in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Interest on Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts shall accrue at the Reference Rate plus 0.20% for the period beginning on the first Payment Date on which the related Collateral Management Fee was due (and not paid) through the Payment Date on which such Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount (including accrued interest) is paid as certified to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager. At the option of the Collateral Manager, by written notice to the Trustee, no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date, on each Payment Date, (i) all or a portion of the Collateral Management Fee or the Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount (including accrued interest) due and owing on such Payment Date may be deferred for payment on a subsequent Payment Date, without interest (the “Current Deferred Management Fee”) and (ii) all or a portion of the previously deferred Collateral Management Fees or Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts (including accrued interest) (collectively, the “Cumulative Deferred Management Fee”) may be declared due and payable and will be payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments. At such time as the Debt is redeemed in whole in connection with an Optional Redemption (other than a Refinancing) or a Tax Redemption, without duplication, all accrued and unpaid Collateral Management Fees, Current Deferred Management Fees, Cumulative Deferred Management Fees and Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts (including accrued interest) (collectively, the “Aggregate Collateral Management Fee”) shall be due and payable to the Collateral Manager. (b) The Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to), elect to waive all or any portion of the Collateral Management Fees or the Aggregate Collateral Management Fees payable to the Collateral Manager on any Payment Date. Any such election shall be made by the Collateral Manager delivering written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date. Any election to waive the Collateral Management Fees or the Aggregate Collateral Management Fees may also be made by written standing instructions to the Trustee; provided that such standing instructions may be rescinded by the Collateral Manager at any time, except during the period between a Determination Date and a Payment Date. Any such Collateral Management Fee, once waived, shall not thereafter become due and payable and any claim of the Collateral Manager therein shall be extinguished. In accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending Corp. has elected to waive the Collateral Management Fees payable to it hereunder for so long as it is acting as the Collateral Manager, it being understood that, upon the appointment of a replacement collateral manager hereunder, such waiver shall cease and shall not be effective as to that replacement collateral manager. (c) Except as otherwise set forth herein and in the Indenture, the Collateral Manager will continue to serve as collateral manager under this Agreement notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager will not have received amounts due it under this Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or if the Collateral Manager resigns or is removed, (i) the Aggregate Collateral Management Fees calculated as provided in Section 8(a) shall be prorated for any partial period elapsing from the last Payment Date on which such Collateral Manager received the Collateral Management Fees to the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal and (ii) any unpaid Cumulative Deferred Management Fees shall be determined as of the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal and, in each case, shall be due and payable on each Payment Date following the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal in accordance with the Priority of Payments until paid in full. Section 9. Benefit of the Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall perform its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Indenture applicable to it. The Collateral Manager agrees and consents to the provisions contained in Section 15.1 of the Indenture. In addition, the Collateral Manager acknowledges the pledge of this Agreement under the granting clause of the Indenture. Section 10. Limits of Collateral Manager Responsibility. (a) None of the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates, its Owners or their respective Related Persons assumes any responsibility under this Agreement other than the Collateral Manager agrees to render the services required to be performed by it hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture applicable to it. The Collateral Manager shall not be responsible for any action or inaction of the Issuer, the Loan Agent or the Trustee in declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager including as set forth in Section 7. The Indemnified Parties (as defined below) shall not be liable to the Issuer, the Loan Agent, the Trustee, any Holder, any beneficial owner of Debt, the Initial Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates, Owners or Related Persons or any other Persons for any act, omission, error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any claim, loss, liability, damage, judgments, assessments, settlement, cost, or other expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of any investment, or for any other act or omission in the performance of the Collateral Manager’s obligations under or in connection with this Agreement or the terms of any other Transaction Document applicable to the Collateral Manager, incurred as a result of actions taken or recommended or for any omissions of the Collateral Manager, or for any decrease in the value of the Assets, except for liability to which the Collateral Manager would be subject by reason of (i) acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture or (ii) the Collateral Manager Offering Circular Information (as of its date) containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading (the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 10 as “Collateral Manager Breaches”). The Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any consequential, punitive, exemplary or treble damages or lost profits hereunder or under the Indenture. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive any liability which cannot be waived under applicable state or federal law or any rules or regulations adopted thereunder. (b) The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and Owners and their respective Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against

any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) and will promptly reimburse each such Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the issuance of the Debt (including, without limitation, any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Final Offering Circular, or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), the transactions contemplated by the Final Offering Circular, the Indenture or this Agreement and any acts or omissions of any such Indemnified Party; provided that, such Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified for any Losses or Expenses incurred as a result of any Collateral Manager Breach. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under Section 10 to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Losses or Expenses are non-recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture. Section 11. No Joint Venture. The Issuer and the Collateral Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. The Collateral Manager shall be deemed, for all purposes herein, an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Indenture or authorized by the Issuer from time to time, have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer. It is acknowledged that neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its Affiliates has provided or shall provide any tax, accounting or legal advice or assistance to the Issuer or any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Section 12. Term; Termination. (a) This Agreement shall commence as of the date first set forth above and shall continue in force until the first of the following occurs: (i) the final liquidation of the Assets and the final distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation pursuant to the Indenture, (ii) the payment in full of the Notes, and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with its terms or (iii) the early termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(b) or (e) or Section 14. (b) Subject only to clause (c) below, the Collateral Manager may resign, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Issuer (or such shorter notice as is acceptable to the Issuer), the Loan Agent and the Trustee (who shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Holders); provided that, the Collateral Manager shall have the right to resign immediately upon the effectiveness of any change in applicable law or regulations which renders the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties hereunder or under the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (b) above, no resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager or termination of this Agreement pursuant to such clause shall be effective until the date as of which a successor collateral manager shall have been appointed and approved in accordance with Section 12(d) and has accepted all of the Collateral Manager’s duties and

obligations pursuant to this Agreement in writing (an “Instrument of Acceptance”) and has assumed such duties and obligations. As a condition precedent to assuming the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder, any successor portfolio manager shall agree that, in the event the Collateral Manager determines at any time that it is necessary or advisable under the requirements of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules to transfer the U.S. Retention Interest (or cause the Retention Holder to transfer the U.S. Retention Interest) to the successor Collateral Manager, the successor Collateral Manager shall acquire such U.S. Retention Interest from the Collateral Manager (or the Retention Holder) at a price equal to an amount agreed to between the Collateral Manager and the successor Collateral Manager. (d) Promptly after notice of any removal under Section 14 or any resignation of the Collateral Manager that is to take place while any of the Debt are Outstanding, the Issuer shall transmit copies of such notice of resignation or removal to the Loan Agent, the Trustee (which shall forward a copy of such notice to the Holders) and S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt) and shall appoint an institution as Collateral Manager, at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, which institution (i) has demonstrated an ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager hereunder, (ii) is legally qualified and has the capacity to assume all of the responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder and under the applicable terms of the Indenture, (iii) does not cause or result in the Issuer becoming, or require the pool of Assets to be registered as, an investment company under the Investment Company Act, (iv) has been identified in a prior written notice provided to S&P and (v) has not been objected to by a Majority of the Controlling Class within ten (10) days of delivery of notice of such proposed successor. (e) If (i) a Majority of the Subordinated Notes fails to nominate a successor within thirty (30) days after initial notice of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager or (ii) a Majority of the Controlling Class objects to the proposed successor nominated by the Holders of the Subordinated Notes within ten (10) days after the date of the notice of such nomination, then a Majority of the Controlling Class shall, within thirty (30) days after the failure described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, as the case may be, nominate a successor collateral manager that meets the criteria set forth in Section 12(d). If a Majority of the Subordinated Notes approves such Controlling Class nominee, such nominee shall become the Collateral Manager. If no successor collateral manager is appointed within ninety (90) days (or, in the event of a change in applicable law or regulation which renders the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation, within thirty (30) days) following the termination or resignation of the Collateral Manager, any of the resigning or removed Collateral Manager, a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and a Majority of the Controlling Class shall each have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor collateral manager, in either such case whose appointment shall become effective after such successor has accepted its appointment and without the consent of any Holder or beneficial owner of any Debt. (f) If no successor collateral manager has been appointed within 180 days after initial notice of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager, any Holder of Class A Notes with an Aggregate Outstanding Amount that exceeded $5 million as of the date of the initial notice of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor collateral manager. Any such appointment by any

court of competent jurisdiction shall not require the consent of, nor be subject to the disapproval of, the Issuer, any Holder or beneficial owner of any Debt or the outgoing Collateral Manager. The Issuer shall provide notice to the Holders, the Loan Agent and the Trustee (for forwarding to S&P) of the appointment of a successor collateral manager promptly after the effectiveness of such appointment. (g) The successor collateral manager shall be entitled to the Collateral Management Fee set forth in Section 8(a) and no compensation payable to such successor collateral manager shall be greater than as set forth in Section 8(a) without the prior written consent of 100% of the Holders or beneficial owners of each Class of Secured Debt voting separately by Class, including Collateral Manager Debt, and prior written notice to S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt). Upon the later of the expiration of the applicable notice periods with respect to termination specified in this Section 12 or in Section 14 and the acceptance of its appointment hereunder by the successor collateral manager, all authority and power of the Collateral Manager hereunder, whether with respect to the Assets or otherwise, shall automatically and without action by any Person or entity pass to and be vested in the successor collateral manager. The Issuer, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and the successor collateral manager shall take such action (or the Issuer shall cause the outgoing Collateral Manager to take such action) consistent with this Agreement and as shall be necessary to effect any such succession. (h) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in clause (i) below. (i) Sections 6, 7 (with respect to any indemnity or insurance provided thereunder), 10, 15, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 25 shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 or Section 14. Section 13. Assignments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, the Collateral Manager may not assign or delegate (except as provided in Section 2(e)), its rights or responsibilities under this Agreement without (i) providing prior written notice to S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt) and (ii) obtaining the consent of the Issuer, a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and a Majority of the Controlling Class. The Collateral Manager shall not be required to obtain such consents or satisfy such condition with respect to a change of control transaction that is deemed to be an assignment within the meaning of Section 202(a)(1) of the Advisers Act, so long as, after giving effect to such change of control transaction, the Collateral Manager continues to utilize substantially the same personnel performing the duties required under this Agreement prior to such transaction; provided that, if the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser under the Advisers Act, the Collateral Manager shall obtain the consent of the Issuer, in a manner consistent with SEC staff interpretations of Section 205(a)(2) of the Advisers Act, to any such transaction. (b) The Collateral Manager may, without obtaining the consent of any Holder or beneficial owner of any Debt and, so long as such assignment or delegation does not constitute an “assignment” for purposes of Section 205(a)(2) of the Advisers Act during such time as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser under the Advisers Act, without obtaining

the prior consent of the Issuer or any Holder of Debt, (i) assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager; provided that, such Affiliate (A) has demonstrated ability, whether as an entity or by its personnel, to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement, (B) has the legal right and capacity to act as Collateral Manager under this Agreement, and (C) shall not cause the Issuer or the pool of Assets to become required to register under the provisions of the Investment Company Act or (ii) enter into (or have its parent enter into) any consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and at the time of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement generally (whether by operation of law or by contract) and the other entity is solely a continuation of the Collateral Manager in another corporate or similar form and has substantially the same personnel; provided further that, the Collateral Manager shall deliver prior notice to S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt) of any assignment, delegation or combination made pursuant to this sentence. Upon the execution and delivery of any such assignment by the assignee, the Collateral Manager will be released from further obligations pursuant to this Agreement except with respect to its obligations and agreements arising under Section 10, 12(h), 17, 21 through 23, and 25 in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to such assignment and except with respect to its obligations under Section 15 after such assignment. (c) This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Issuer without (i) the prior written consent of (A) the Collateral Manager, (B) a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and (C) a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt (voting separately by Class) and (ii) prior written notice to S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt), except in the case of assignment by the Issuer (1) to an entity which is a successor to the Issuer permitted under the Indenture, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Issuer is bound thereunder or (2) to the Trustee as contemplated by the granting clause of the Indenture. The Issuer has assigned its rights, title and interest in (but not its obligations under) this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture; and the Collateral Manager by its signature below agrees to, and acknowledges, such assignment. Upon assignment by the Issuer, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such assignee to execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager such documents as the Collateral Manager shall consider reasonably necessary to effect fully such assignment. (d) The Issuer shall provide S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt) and the Trustee (who shall provide a copy of such notice to the Holders) with notice of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13. Section 14. Removal for Cause. (a) The Collateral Manager may be removed for Cause upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by the Issuer (“Termination Notice”) at the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, provided that, Collateral Manager Debt will have no voting rights with respect to any vote on the removal of the Collateral Manager for Cause. Simultaneous with its direction to the Issuer to remove the Collateral Manager for Cause, the Controlling Class shall provide to the Issuer a written statement setting forth the reason for such removal (“Statement of Cause”). The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (who shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Holders) and the Loan

Agent a copy of the Termination Notice and the Statement of Cause within one Business Day of receipt. No such removal shall be effective (A) until the date as of which a successor collateral manager shall have been appointed in accordance with Sections 12(d) and (e) and delivered an Instrument of Acceptance to the Issuer and the removed Collateral Manager and the successor collateral manager has effectively assumed all of the Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations and (B) unless the Statement of Cause has been delivered to the Issuer as set forth in this Section 14(a). “Cause” means any of the following: (i) the Collateral Manager shall willfully and intentionally violate or breach any material provision of this Agreement or the Indenture applicable to it (not including a willful and intentional breach that results from a good faith dispute regarding reasonable alternative courses of action or reasonable interpretation of instructions); (ii) other than as covered by clause (i), the Collateral Manager shall breach in any material respect any provision of this Agreement or any terms of the Indenture applicable to it (it being understood that failure to meet any Concentration Limitation, Collateral Quality Test or Coverage Test is not a breach for purposes of this clause (ii)), which breach would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer and shall not cure such breach (if capable of being cured) within forty-five (45) days of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving written notice of such breach, unless, if such breach is remediable, the Collateral Manager has taken action that the Collateral Manager believes in good faith will remedy such failure, and such action does remedy such failure, within ninety (90) days after a Responsible Officer receives written notice thereof; (iii) the failure of any representation, warranty, certification or statement made or delivered by the Collateral Manager in or pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture to be correct in any material respect when made which failure (A) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer and (B) is not corrected by the Collateral Manager within forty-five (45) days of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving notice of such failure, unless, if such breach is remediable, the Collateral Manager has taken action that the Collateral Manager believes in good faith will remedy such failure, and such action does remedy such failure, within ninety (90) days after a Responsible Officer receives notice thereof; (iv) the Collateral Manager, the BDC Advisor, the Sub-Advisor is wound up or dissolved or there is appointed over it or a substantial part of its assets a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer; or the Collateral Manager, the BDC Advisor or the Sub-Advisor (A) ceases to be able to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or enters into any composition or arrangement with, its creditors generally; (B) applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, liquidator or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Collateral Manager, the BDC Advisor or the Sub-Advisor or of any substantial part of their respective properties or assets in connection with any winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, or authorizes such an application or consent, or

proceedings seeking such appointment are commenced without such authorization, consent or application against the Collateral Manager, the BDC Advisor or the Sub-Advisor and continue undismissed for ninety (90) days; (C) authorizes or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the application of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, insolvency, dissolution, or similar law, or authorizes such application or consent, or proceedings to such end are instituted against the Collateral Manager, the BDC Advisor or the Sub-Advisor without such authorization, application or consent and are approved as properly instituted and remain undismissed for ninety (90) days or result in adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency or the issuance of an order for relief; or (D) permits or suffers all or any substantial part of either of their respective properties or assets to be sequestered or attached by court order and the order (if contested in good faith) remains undismissed for ninety (90) days; (v) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) under the Indenture that primarily results from any material breach by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or under the Indenture which breach or default is not cured within any applicable cure period; (vi) (A) the occurrence of an act by the Collateral Manager, the BDC Advisor or the Sub-Advisor that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (as determined pursuant to a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction) or the indictment of the Collateral Manager or the Sub-Advisor for a criminal offense materially related to its business of providing asset management services, or (B) any Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager or the Sub-Advisor whose employees are (x) seconded or made available to the Collateral Manager to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (y) otherwise primarily responsible for the performance by the Collateral Manager of its obligations under this Agreement, is indicted for a criminal offense materially related to the business of the Collateral Manager or the Sub-Advisor providing asset management services, and such Responsible Officer continues to have responsibility for the performance by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement for a period of ten (10) Business Days after such indictment; or (vii) the Sub-Advisor or an Affiliate thereof is no longer engaged by the Collateral Manager as a sub-advisor to the BDC Advisor. (b) If any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (vii) of this Section 14 shall occur, the Collateral Manager shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Controlling Class, the Subordinated Notes, the Loan Agent, the Trustee, and S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt); provided that, if any of the events specified in Section 14(a)(iv) shall occur, the Collateral Manager shall give written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee (who shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Holders) the Loan Agent and S&P (if then rating a Class of Secured Debt) immediately upon the Collateral Manager’s becoming aware of the occurrence of such event. A Majority of the Controlling Class, disregarding Collateral Manager Debt, may waive any event described in Section 14(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v), or (vi) as a basis for termination of this Agreement and removal of the Collateral Manager under this Section 14.
