Sixth
Amendment to Credit Agreement
This
Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of August
2, 2024 (the “Amendment”), is made pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2021 (as amended,
restated, modified or supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), among TrinCap
Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as borrower (the “Borrower”); Trinity
Capital Inc., a Maryland corporation, as servicer (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Servicer”);
the financial institutions currently party thereto as lenders (the “Existing Lenders”; the Existing Lenders, other
than any Exiting Lender (as defined below), and the New Lenders (as defined below), collectively, the “Lenders”);
KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”),
as administrative agent for the Secured Parties (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) and as syndication agent (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”);
and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (as successor in interest to Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association), not in its individual capacity but as collateral custodian (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity,
the “Collateral Custodian”).
W
i t n e s s e t h:
Whereas,
the Borrower, the Servicer, the Existing Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Custodian, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as paying agent (in such capacity,
the “Paying Agent”), previously entered into and are currently party to the Credit Agreement;
Whereas,
Computershare acquired substantially all of the United States Corporate Trust business of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and the parties hereto
desire to memorialize such succession by Computershare;
Whereas,
the parties hereto desire to remove the role of the Paying Agent from the Credit Agreement pursuant to this Amendment, and the Paying
Agent desires to accept such removal pursuant to this Amendment; and
Whereas,
the Borrower has requested that the Lenders make certain
additional amendments to the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to do so under the terms and
conditions set forth in this Amendment.
Now,
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
Section
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise amended by the terms of this Amendment, terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned
in the Credit Agreement.
Section 2. Amendments
to Credit Agreement. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Credit Agreement shall
be and hereby is amended, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), by deleting the stricken text (indicated
textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and by adding
the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined
text) as reflected in the modifications identified in the document annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
Section
3. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date (the “Amendment Effective Date”)
of the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:
3.1.
The Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have executed and delivered this Amendment.
3.2.
The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, KeyBank, as a Lender, and the Syndication Agent shall have executed and delivered an Amended
and Restated Administrative Agent Fee Letter.
3.3.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received all fees due and payable under the Amended and Restated Administrative Agent
Fee Letter.
3.4.
The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall have executed and delivered an Amended and Restated Lender Fee Letter.
3.5.
The Lenders shall have received all fees due and payable under the Amended and Restated Lender Fee Letter.
3.6.
With respect to any Advances that are outstanding on the date hereof, the Borrower shall, without complying with the provisions of Section
2.1 of the Credit Agreement (with respect to Advances) or Section 2.3(b) of the Credit Agreement (with respect to principal repayments),
make such payments and adjustments on the Advances as necessary to give effect to the revised commitment percentages and outstandings
of the Lenders and the Exiting Lenders after giving effect to this Amendment, and, to the extent necessary, the Lenders shall make such
purchases and sales of interests in the Advances outstanding on the date hereof between themselves and the Exiting Lenders so that each
Lender is then holding its ratable share, based on the revised commitment percentages, of outstanding Advances as in effect after giving
effect to this Amendment (such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Exiting Lender
hereby agrees to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection
therewith), with all subsequent Advances under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment to be made in accordance with the respective
applicable Commitments of the Lenders from time to time party to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment as provided in the
Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person that was a Lender under the Credit Agreement immediately
prior to giving effect to this Amendment and that will not be a Lender under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment
(each, an “Exiting Lender”), shall have received the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Obligations owing
to such Exiting Lender in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6 on the date hereof, and the Commitment of such
Exiting Lender shall be assigned, in whole or in part, to one or more of the Lenders party to this Amendment in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.6 or automatically terminated in full, in either case, on the date hereof.
3.7.
Legal matters incident to the execution and delivery of this Amendment shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
Section 4.
Representations of the Borrower and the Servicer. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the parties
hereto that as of the date hereof its representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 and Section 7.8, respectively, of the Credit
Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof
and after giving effect to this Amendment (except for such representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality, a Material
Adverse Effect or any similar qualifier, which representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof
and after giving effect to this Amendment), except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier
date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except for such representations and
warranties that are qualified by materiality, a Material Adverse Effect or any similar qualifier, which representations and warranties
were true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date). The execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower and the Servicer
in connection with this Amendment has been duly authorized by all requisite action by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Servicer,
and this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and the Servicer. This Amendment is enforceable against
each such Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable debtor relief laws and
general principles of equity.
Section
5. Credit Agreement in Full Force and Effect. Except as specifically amended herein, the Credit Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect in accordance with its original terms. Reference to this specific Amendment need not be made in the Credit Agreement
or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant
to or with respect to the Credit Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Credit Agreement being sufficient to refer to the
Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
Section
6. Commitments. Each Lender party hereto, including any Lender who was not an Existing Lender party to the Credit Agreement immediately
prior to giving effect to this Amendment (each such Lender, a “New Lender”), acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is
a Lender and a Managing Agent for all purposes of the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (ii) its Commitment, as well
as its address for notices pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement, in each case, on the date hereof and after giving effect
to this Amendment is as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. Each of the other parties hereto acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing.
The
undersigned Lenders together constitute 100% of the Lenders and certify that they have the full power to grant the
consent contained herein and that no Lender has pledged or otherwise hypothecated such right to another party.
Section
7. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different
counterpart signature pages, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any of the parties hereto may execute
this Amendment by signing any such counterpart and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original. This
Amendment shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf
of the party by means of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant
provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”); (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned,
or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes
have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other
electronic signature, of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.
Section
8. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York but otherwise
without regard to conflicts of law principles).
Section
9. Direction/Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges
and agrees that the indemnification, payment and reimbursement rights of the Paying Agent, the Collection Account Bank and the Funding
Account Bank provided under the Credit Agreement shall survive the amendment of the Credit Agreement, including with respect to the payment
of any Bank Fees and Expenses, including any any fees and expenses in connection with the execution of this Amendment. Without limiting
the foregoing, Article XIV of the Credit Agreement (prior to its amendment pursuant to this Amendment) shall inure to the Paying Agent’s
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Paying Agent under the Credit Agreement. Each of the Paying
Agent, the Collection Account Bank and the Funding Account Bank shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Amendment, with the right
to enforce its rights hereunder as if a direct party hereto. Each of the Paying Agent, the Collection Account Bank, the Funding Account
Bank and the Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver this Amendment by each of the parties hereto.

Article
II
Advances
Section 2.1.
Advances. (a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may, by delivery of a Borrower Notice to the
Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Period, at its option,
request that the Lenders make Advances to it in an amount which, at any time, shall not exceed the Availability in effect on the
related Funding Date. Such Borrower Notice shall be delivered not later than 11:001:00 ap.m.
(New York City time) twoone
(21) Business DaysDay
prior to the requested Funding Date; provided, however that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no
more than one Advancetwo
Advances may be made in a calendar week. Upon receipt of such Borrower Notice, the Administrative Agent (or, if applicable,
each Managing Agent) shall promptly forward such Borrower Notice to the Lenders (or if applicable, each Managing Agent shall
promptly forward such Borrower Notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group), and the applicable portion of the Advance will be made by
the Lenders in accordance with their Pro-Rata Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.1 or elsewhere in
this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance in an amount that would result in the aggregate
Advances then funded by such Lender exceeding its Commitment then in effect. The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro-Rata
Share of any such Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender, and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount
available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder. Each Advance to be made hereunder shall be
made ratably among the Lender Groups in accordance with their Group Advance Limits.
(b) The
Borrower may, no later than ninety (90) days prior to the date which is three years after the Effective Date and each anniversary thereafter,
by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make written requests for the Lenders to extend the Commitment Termination Date. The Administrative
Agent will give prompt notice to each Managing Agent of its receipt of such request, and each Managing Agent shall give prompt notice
to each of the Lenders in its related Lender Group of its receipt of such request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date. Each
Lender shall make a determination, in its sole discretion and after a full credit review, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the applicable
anniversary of the Effective Date as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender to make a timely response to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date
shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Lender to extend the Commitment Termination Date. In the event that at least one Lender
agrees to extend the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the extending Lenders shall
enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent and such extending Lenders may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension,
and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
shall be paid by the Borrower. In the event that any Lender declines the request to extend the Commitment Termination Date (each such
Lender being referred to herein, from and after their then current Commitment Termination Date as a “Non-Renewing Lender”),
and the Commitment of such Non-Renewing Lender is not assigned to another Person in accordance with the terms of Article XI prior
to the then current Commitment Termination Date, (i) the Facility Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to each such Non-Renewing
Lender’s Commitment on the then current Commitment Termination Date, and (ii) the Group Advance Limits of the applicable Lender
Groups shall be reduced by an amount equal to the applicable Non-Renewing Lender’s Commitment on the then current Commitment Termination
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may elect to withdraw its request to extend the Commitment Termination Date in the event
that the effective Facility Amount following any Commitment Termination Date extension would be less than the Facility Amount in effect
on the Commitment Termination Date prior to such extension.
Section
2.2. Procedures for Advances. (a) In the case of the making of any Advance or any termination, increase or reduction of the Facility
Amount, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrower Notice. Each Borrower Notice shall specify the amount (subject to
Section 2.1 hereof) of Advances to be borrowed and the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day).
(b) Subject
to the conditions described in Section 2.1, the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders by delivering to the Administrative
Agent at certain times the information and documents set forth in this Section 2.2.
(c) No
later than 11:001:00
ap.m. (New York City time) twoone
(21) Business DaysDay
prior to the proposed Funding Date, the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall receive or shall have previously received (with
a copy to the Bank Parties) a Borrower Notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate as of
the proposed Funding Date and giving pro forma effect to
the Advance requested and the use of proceeds thereof).
(d) Each
Borrower Notice shall specify the aggregate amount of the requested Advance, which shall be in an amount greater than $1,000,000. Each
Borrower Notice shall (i) include the outstanding amount of Advances under this Agreement and represent that all conditions precedent
for a funding have been met, including a representation by the Borrower that the requested Advance shall not, on the Funding Date thereof,
exceed the Availability on such day, (ii) be accompanied by a Borrowing Base Certificate as of the applicable Funding Date (giving pro
forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of proceeds thereof), (iii) be accompanied by an updated Loan List including each Loan
that is subject to the requested Advance and the related Loan Checklist and electronic loan file, and (iv) include the proposed Funding
Date.
(e) On
the Funding Date following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.2 and Article III,
the Lenders shall deposit to the Wells Fargo General Account for further credit to, and to be immediately
swept to, the FundingOperating Account, in same day
funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the Advance then being made. Any funds on deposit in the FundingOperating
Account may be transferred from the FundingOperating
Account at the direction of the Borrower or the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower,
to any account so designated. Each wire transfer of an Advance to the Borrower shall be initiated by the applicable Lender no later
than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date.
Section 2.3.
Optional Changes in Facility Amount; Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall be entitled at its option, on any Payment Date prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default, to reduce the Facility Amount in whole or in part; provided that the Borrower shall give prior
written notice of such reduction to the Administrative Agent, and each
Managing Agent and the Paying Agent as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section
2.3 and that any partial reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 with integral multiples of $1,000,000
above such amount; provided, further that the Borrower shall have paid to the applicable Managing Agents for the account
of their related Lenders, an amount equal to the product of (x) the Applicable Reduction Premium Percentage times (y) the amount by which
the Commitment of each Lender is to be reduced under this clause (a) in connection with such reduction of the Facility Amount (the
“Reduction Fee”). Unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced ratably in
proportion to any such reduction in the Facility Amount. Any request for a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.3
shall be irrevocable.
(b) From
time to time during the Revolving Period, the Borrower may prepay any portion or all of the Advances Outstanding by delivering a Prepayment
Notice (other than with respect to Mandatory Prepayments for which no Prepayment Notice shall be required) to the Administrative Agent,
each Managing Agent and the Bank Parties at least twoone
(21) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment
specifying the date and amount of such prepayment; provided, however that if one or more Hedge Transactions will be terminated
in whole or in part as the result of any such prepayment of the Advances Outstanding, then, other than with respect to Mandatory Prepayments,
the Prepayment Notice being delivered shall also certify that the Borrower has complied or will comply with the terms of any Hedging Agreement
requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated in whole or in part as the result of any such prepayment of the Advances Outstanding, and that the
Borrower has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to the relevant Hedge Counterparty for any such termination. Any partial prepayment by
the Borrower of Advances hereunder, other than with respect to Mandatory Prepayments, shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 with integral
multiples of $100,000 above such amount. Any amount so prepaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the
Revolving Period. A Prepayment Notice relating to any such prepayment shall be irrevocable when delivered. Prepayments pursuant to, and
in accordance with the terms of, this Section 2.3(b) may be made from Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account
(each, a “Collection Account Prepayment”) subject to the additional conditions that (i) no more than two (2) Collection
Account Prepayments may be made in any Settlement Period, and (ii) following any Collection Account Prepayment, the Collection Account
will contain an amount of Available Collections sufficient to satisfy all Obligations and other amounts due and payable by the Borrower
on the Payment Date for the Settlement Period in which such Collection Account Prepayment was made, pursuant to Section 2.8(a).
The Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby authorize and direct the PayingAdministrative
Agent andto cause the depository
with respect to the Collection Account Bank to disburse each Collection Account
Prepayment from the Collection Account to each Lender’s and each Hedge Counterparty’s (as applicable) account, pursuant to
the wiring instructions on file with the PayingAdministrative
Agent, in the amounts specified in a written notice delivered by the Servicer to the PayingAdministrative
Agent, and approved by the Administrative Agent.
(c) Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time from the SecondSixth Amendment
Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to increase the Facility Amount
by an amount up to $200,000,000250,000,000 (for
a total maximum Facility Amount of $400,000,000690,000,000).
The following terms and conditions shall apply to any such increase: (i) any such increase shall be obtained from existing Lenders
or from other Eligible Assignees, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth below; (ii) the Commitment of any Lender may
not be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender; (iii) any increase in the Facility Amount shall be in a minimum
principal amount of (x) if such increase shall be obtained from existing Lenders, $5,000,000 and (y) if such increase shall be
obtained from Eligible Assignees who are not Lenders hereunder, $10,000,000; (iv) the Borrower, the increasing Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall execute an acknowledgement (or in the case of the addition of a bank or other financial institution not
then a party to this Agreement, a Joinder Agreement) in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to reflect the
revised Commitments and Facility Amount; (v) the Borrower shall execute such promissory notes as are necessary to reflect the
increase in or creation of the Commitments; (vi) if any Advances are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the Borrower
shall make such payments and adjustments on the Advances as necessary to give effect to the revised commitment percentages and
outstandings of the Lenders, and, to the extent necessary, the Lenders each agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in
the Advances outstanding on the date of such increase between themselves so that each Lender is then holding its ratable share,
based on the revised commitment percentages, of outstanding Advances as in effect after giving effect to any such increase (such
purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such further
instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith), with all subsequent
Advances under this Agreement to be made in accordance with the respective applicable Commitments of the Lenders from time to time
party to this Agreement as provided herein; (vii) the Borrower may solicit commitments from Eligible Assignees that are not then a
party to this Agreement so long as such Eligible Assignees are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and execute a
Joinder Agreement in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (viii) the conditions set forth in Section
3.2 shall be satisfied in all material respects; (ix) after giving effect to any such increase in the Facility Amount, no
Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred; (x) the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative
Agent, at least five (5) days prior to such proposed increase in the Facility Amount, written evidence demonstrating pro forma
compliance with the Collateral Quality Test (or, if the Collateral Quality Test is not satisfied, each of the Weighted Average
Remaining Maturity, the Weighted Average Spread, the Weighted Average Risk Rating, the
Weighted Average LTV, the Weighted Average Total Funded Debt Ratio to TTM EBITDA and the Weighted Average LTVTotal
Funded Debt Ratio to TTM Recurring Revenue components thereof, then in effect and prior to giving effect to such proposed
increase, shall be improved after giving effect to such proposed increase) and the Borrowing Base Test after giving effect to such
proposed increase, such evidence to be satisfactory in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. The amount of any increase
in the Facility Amount hereunder shall be offered first to the existing Lenders, and the failure of any existing Lender to respond
within five (5) Business Days of such offer shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Lender to increase its Commitment with
no further right of first offer. In the event the additional commitments which existing Lenders are willing to take shall exceed the
amount requested by the Borrower, such excess shall be allocated in proportion to the commitments of such existing Lenders willing
to take additional commitments. If the amount of the additional commitments requested by the Borrower shall exceed the additional
commitments which the existing Lenders are willing to take, then the Borrower may invite other Eligible Assignees reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to join this Agreement as Lenders hereunder for the portion of commitments not taken by
existing Lenders, provided that such Eligible Assignees shall enter into such joinder agreements to give effect thereto as
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may reasonably request. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, the terms of any increase in the Facility Amount shall be the same as those in effect prior to any increase; provided,
however, that should the terms of the increase agreed to be other than those in effect prior to the increase, then the
Transaction Documents shall, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders as required by Section
12.1, be amended to the extent necessary to incorporate any such different terms.
(d) With
the written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Commitment
of a Defaulting Lender, and in such event the provisions of Section 2.16 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower
for the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other
amounts); provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim that the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.4. Principal
Repayments. (a) The Advances Outstanding and all other Obligations shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.8, and
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby promises to pay all Advances Outstanding and all other Obligations in full on the Maturity
Date. In addition, Advances Outstanding shall be repaid as and when necessary to cause the Borrowing Base Test to be met, and in any case
within two (2) Business Days of any failure of the Borrowing Base Test to be satisfied (each such payment, a “Mandatory Prepayment”),
and any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder during the Revolving Period (including
reborrowed on or before the next applicable Payment Date not to exceed the Availability as of such date).
(b) All repayments
of any Advance or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, a Mandatory Prepayment, shall be made together with payment of all
Hedge Breakage Costs and any other amounts payable by the Borrower under or with respect to any Hedging Agreement.
Section 2.5.
Evidence of Indebtedness. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness
of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder, provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain
such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.6.
Interest Payments. (a) Interest shall accrue on each Advance outstanding during each Interest Period at the applicable Interest Rate.
The Borrower shall pay Interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance for the period commencing on and including the Funding
Date of such Advance until but excluding the date that such Advance shall be paid in full. Interest shall accrue during each Interest
Period and be payable on the Advances Outstanding on each Payment Date, unless earlier paid pursuant this Agreement.
(b) Interest
Rates shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the definitions thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall advise
the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, of each calculation thereof.
(c) If
any Managing Agent, on behalf of the applicable Lenders, shall notify the Administrative Agent that a Disruption Event has occurred, the
Administrative Agent shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Advances in respect of which Interest accrues at the Adjusted
Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall immediately be converted into Advances in respect of which Interest accrues at the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, that if at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Disruption
Event, the Base Rate shall, for a period of ten (10) consecutive days, be greater than a Lender’s actual cost of funds in respect
of its Advances hereunder, then all Advances of such Lender in respect of which Interest would accrue at the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin in accordance with this clause (c) shall accrue Interest at an effective rate of interest equal to such Lender’s actual
cost of funds in respect of such Advances plus the Applicable Margin.
(d) Anything in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any
Person under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under Applicable Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”),
then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall
be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents
is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents at
the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal to the total interest that would have
been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate payable under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. In no event
shall the total interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents exceed the amount that such Lender could
lawfully have received, had the interest due under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents been calculated since the Effective Date
at the Maximum Lawful Rate.
Section 2.7.
Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to each Managing Agent, on behalf of the related Lenders, on each Payment Date the Unused Fee for
the related Interest Period in accordance with Section 2.8.
(b) The
Borrower shall pay to the Servicer on each Payment Date the Servicing Fee for the related Settlement Period in accordance with Section
2.8.
(c) The
Borrower shall pay to the Bank Parties, the Collection Account Bank and the Funding Account Bank
on each Payment Date the Bank Fees for the related Settlement Period in accordance with Section 2.8.

Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on each Payment Date the Administrative Agent Fee then due and owing in accordance with
Section 2.8.
(e) The
Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Lenders on the Effective Date all amounts payable on
the Effective Date in accordance with Section 3.1 and (ii) to each Person, all other amounts payable to such Person in accordance
with the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or the Lender Fee Letter, on the dates required pursuant thereto.
Section 2.8.
Settlement Procedures. On each Payment Date, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), the PayingAdministrative
Agent, based solely on the Monthly Report delivered for the most recent Reporting Date (upon which the PayingAdministrative
Agent may conclusively rely), shall, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (including, without limitation, amounts received

Servicer shall ensure that any such Permitted Investments selected by them will mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the next Payment Date. Any earnings (and losses) thereon shall be for the account of the BorrowerAll
amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested.
Section 2.10. Payments,
Computations, Etc. (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the
Servicer on behalf of the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the Agent’s
Account, in the case of amounts owed to the Administrative Agent, and to the account designated in writing to the Borrower or the
Servicer by each Managing Agent, each Lender or such other payee thereof, in the case of amounts owed to such Lender or such other
payee thereof. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties, without duplication, interest on all
amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at a rate of interest equal to the then applicable Interest Rate and, if not paid
within three (3) Business Days, at the Default Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not
at any time exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. All computations of interest and all computations of the Interest Rate and other fees
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last
day) elapsed.
(b) Whenever
any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Interest, other interest or any
fee payable hereunder, as the case may be, without duplication.
(c) All
payments hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments
shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement (after withholding for or on account of any Taxes).
(d) Administrative
Agent’s Reliance. In making the deposits, distributions and calculations required to be made by it hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, in good faith, on information supplied to the Administrative Agent by the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian
or the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in making disbursements hereunder in accordance with the written instructions
of the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or the Borrower delivered in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any
Monthly Report that has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent
by the Servicer shall constitute the written instructions of the Servicer with respect to the deposits and distributions described therein.
(e) Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender
under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will be retained by the
Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the Termination Date, at which time the funds in such
account will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the following order of priority: first,
to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second, to
the payment of interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder that are not Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance
with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; third, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the
Lenders hereunder that are not Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and
payable to them; fourth, to the payment of principal then due and payable to the Lenders hereunder that are not Defaulting
Lenders, ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them; fifth, to the ratable payment of other
amounts then due and payable to the Lenders hereunder that are not Defaulting Lenders;
and sixth, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee or Reduction Fee for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Unused Fee or Reduction Fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
Section 2.11. Inability to Determine Rates.
(a) Temporary
Inability to Determine Rates. If (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error) that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) the Required Lenders determine
that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof or the maintenance
thereof that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advance, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative
Agent, in each case of (A) and (B), on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify
the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make,
maintain or continue SOFR Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent
revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower
will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Advances bearing interest at the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to
have been converted into Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 2.12(b) on the next Payment Date.
(b) Permanent Inability to Determine Rate; Benchmark Replacement.
(i) Benchmark
Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Term SOFR Reference Rate or then-current
Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00
p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower
so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising
the Required Lenders. No replacement of the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i)
will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(iii) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation
of any Benchmark Replacement, the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes and the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11(b),
including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance
or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made
in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant
to this Section 2.11(b).
(iv) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including
in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term
SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes
such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark
or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing
that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization
of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative,
non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed
on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement
that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions
(IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify
the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time
to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower
may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made, converted or continued during any
Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a
borrowing of or conversion to Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and all outstanding SOFR Advances
will be automatically and immediately converted into Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
Section 2.12.
Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality; Breakage Payments. (a) (i) If any Managing Agent, Lender or any Affiliate thereof
(each of which, an “Affected Party”) shall be charged any material fee, expense or increased cost on account of a
Regulatory Change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements or any
internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost assessed upon such Affected Party, which in the reasonable good faith
discretion of such Affected Party is allocable to the Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (i)
that subjects any Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (v)
of Section 2.13(a), (3) Taxes for which a Lender is not entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) and Section
2.13(b) by virtue of Section 2.13(e) or Section 2.13(m) and (4) Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former
connection between any Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Lender having
executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected security
interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Transaction Document, or sold or assigned an interest
in any Advance or Transaction Document) that are (x) imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), (y) franchise Taxes
or (z) branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits,
reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve,
assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of an
Affected Party, or credit extended by an Affected Party pursuant to a Transaction Document (including, without limitation, any
internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost assessed upon such Affected Party, which in the sole discretion of such
Affected Party is allocable to the Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or (iii) that imposes any
other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Party of performing its obligations
under a Transaction Document, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its
obligations under a Transaction Document, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under a
Transaction Document or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received
by it, then, not later than thirty (30) days following demand by the applicable Managing Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for payment to the applicable Managing Agent for the benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such amounts
charged to such Affected Party or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or such reduction
(such determination to be made using the same methodology that the Affected Party applies in making such determination in similar
structured facilities with similarly situated counterparties); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate
an Affected Party pursuant to this clause (a) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the event or circumstance giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further,
that if the request or compliance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions has a retroactive effect, then the 180-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. For purposes hereof
“Regulatory Change” shall mean, with respect to any Affected Party, (A) the adoption, change, implementation,
change in the phase-in or commencement of effectiveness of after the date hereof of: (i) any United States Federal or state or
foreign law, regulation, treaty or official directive applicable to such Affected Party, (ii) regulation (including any applicable
law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage), interpretation, rule, directive, requirement or request
(whether or not having the force of law) applicable to such Affected Party of (1) any court or government authority charged with the
interpretation or administration of any law referred to in clause (A)(i), or (2) any fiscal, monetary or other authority
having jurisdiction over such Affected Party, or (iii) GAAP or regulatory accounting principles applicable to such Affected Party
and affecting the application to such Affected Party of any law, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement or request
referred to in clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above; (B) any change in the application to such Affected Party of any
existing law, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement, request or accounting principles referred to in clause
(A)(i), (A)(ii) or (A)(iii) above or any change in the interpretation, application or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency; or (C) the compliance, whether commenced prior to or after the date hereof, by any Affected Party with the requirements of
(i) the final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital;
Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and
Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009, or any rules, regulations,
guidance, interpretations or directives promulgated or issued in connection therewith by such agency (whether or not having force of
law), (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act adopted by Congress on July 21, 2010, or any existing or
future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the United States bank regulatory agencies relating thereto
(whether or not having the force of law), (iii) the July 1988 paper or the June 2006 paper prepared by the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision as set out in the publication entitled: “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital
Standards: a Revised Framework”, as updated from time to time, or any rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or
directives promulgated or issued in connection therewith by the United States bank regulatory agencies (whether or not having force
of law) or any other request, rule, guideline or directive promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in
each case pursuant to Basel II or Basel III, or (iv) any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency or
authority (whether or not having the force of law).
(ii) If as a result of
any event or circumstance described in clause (i) of this Section 2.12(a), an Affected Party is required to compensate
a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support or financing to such
Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within thirty (30) days
after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be
necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any such amounts paid by it; provided that the Borrower shall not be required
to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days
prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the event or circumstance similar to those described in clause
(i) of this Section 2.12(a) giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions has a retroactive effect, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
(iii) In
determining any amount provided for in this section, the Affected Party shall use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods substantially
consistent with methods used for other customers of the Affected Party, if any. Any Affected Party making a claim under this section shall
submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall calculate in reasonable
detail any such charges and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(iv) If
any Affected Party shall demand compensation under this Section 2.12(a), Borrower shall have the right to prepay all Obligations
under this Agreement within ninety (90) days of such demand and without the payment of any early termination, breakage or other fees or
costs arising solely by reason of such prepayment.
(b) The Borrower
agrees to compensate (i) each Lender and each of its Affiliates and (ii) any assignee or participant of any Lender (each, an “Affected
Person”) from time to time, on the Payment Dates, following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall
set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), in accordance with Section 2.8 for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities
(including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance and any loss sustained by
such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected
Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding
a default by the applicable Lender) a borrowing of any Advance by the Borrower does not occur on the Funding Date specified therefor in
the applicable Borrower Notice delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any of the Borrower’s
Advances occurs on a date that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period, (iii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance
is not made on any date specified in a Prepayment Notice given by the Borrower or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower
to repay its Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section
2.12(b) submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed
calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.
Section 2.13.
Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower in respect of any Advance and all payments made by the Borrower under this
Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such
withholding or deduction is required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower). In such event, the
Borrower shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority any such Taxes required to be deducted or withheld and the amount payable to
each Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) will be increased (such increase, the “Additional
Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such
deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts, however, will not apply with
respect to, and the term “Additional Amount” shall not include, any (i) (x) net income, branch profit or franchise taxes
imposed on a Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower (or
the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) under this Agreement, by a taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender, Managing Agent or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized, conducts business, is otherwise subject to tax without regard to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or is paying taxes as of the Effective Date; (ii) withholding taxes imposed with
respect to any payments to any Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent that are applicable and imposed as of the
Effective Date; (iii) withholding taxes imposed with respect to any payments to any Lender, Managing Agent, or the Administrative
Agent that are applicable and imposed as of the date that such party (x) becomes a Lender, Managing Agent, or the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, or (y) changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section
2.13, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender
became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office; (iv) any withholding taxes imposed under
FATCA (including any successor provisions thereof); or (v) any U.S. federal backup withholding tax imposed pursuant to Section 3406
of the Code as in effect on the date of this Agreement. For purposes hereof “Indemnified Taxes” shall mean Taxes
imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction document
other than Taxes described in clauses (i) through (v) immediately above.
(b) The
Borrower will indemnify each Lender, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes in respect of which
the Borrower is required to pay Additional Amounts (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional
Amounts) paid by such Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that such Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative
Agent, as appropriate, making a demand for indemnity payment, shall provide the Borrower, at its address set forth under its name on the
signature pages hereof, with a certificate from the relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such Lender, Managing Agent
or the Administrative Agent stating or otherwise evidencing that such Lender, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent has made payment
of such Taxes and will provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available, furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion
or payment of such Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender, Managing Agent or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(c) As
soon as reasonably practicable after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative
Agent, the Managing Agent or the Lender, as applicable, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, appropriate
evidence of payment thereof.
(d) (i) Any Lender that
is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower with a copy to
the Administrative Agent within 15 days after the date hereof, or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereof
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two duly completed
copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. If a
Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Lender shall, to the
extent that it may then do so under Applicable Laws, deliver to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent (i) within 15
days after the date hereof, or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereof two (or such other number as may
from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN-E or any successor forms
or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or
Applicable Laws, as appropriate, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, as the case may
be, without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.13(d),
two copies (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Laws) of such additional, amended or successor
forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Laws to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the
account of such Lender, without deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes.
(ii) On or
prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Agreement, with respect to payments,
if any, made to the Administrative Agent that it is receiving on behalf of other persons, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower
executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (if it is a U.S. Person), or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any
applicable successor forms) (if it is not a U.S. Person) properly completed and duly executed to treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S.
person (as described in Section 1.1441-1(e)(3)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations) or certifying that it is a “qualified
intermediary” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 that assumes primary withholding responsibility for purposes
of chapters 3 and 4 with respect to such payments made to the Administrative Agent. On or prior to the date on which the Administrative
Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Agreement, with respect to payments, if any, made to the Administrative Agent
for its own account, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (if it
is a U.S. Person), or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any applicable successor forms) (if it is not a U.S. Person) properly
completed and duly executed.
(e) For
any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or statement described
in clause (d) of this section, such Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification under clauses (a) or
(b) of this section with respect to any Taxes.
(f) In
addition, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, and each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law to demonstrate, where applicable, that payments under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Lender or the Administrative Agent are exempt from application of the United States
federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (including any successor provisions thereto) and any regulations promulgated thereunder
or official interpretations thereof or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(g) Within
30 days of the written request of the Borrower therefor, the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agent or the Lender, as appropriate, shall
execute and deliver to the Borrower such certificates, forms or other documents that can be furnished consistent with the facts and that
are reasonably necessary to assist the Borrower in applying for refunds of Taxes remitted hereunder; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent, the Managing Agent and the Lender shall not be required to deliver such certificates forms or other documents if
in their respective sole discretion it is determined that the delivery of such certificate, form or other document would have a material
adverse effect on the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agent or the Lender and provided further, however, that the Borrower shall
reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agent or the Lender for any reasonable expenses incurred in the delivery of such certificate,
form or other document.
(h) If,
in connection with an agreement or other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support or financing
to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, the Lenders are required to compensate
a bank or other financial institution in respect of Taxes under circumstances similar to those described in this section then within ten
days after demand by the Lenders, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse
the Lenders for any amounts paid by them.
(i) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply
with the provisions of Section 11.1(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other
source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).
(j) Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent
or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(k) [Reserved].
(l) Each Lender (and any
person that becomes a Lender, participant or otherwise acquires an interest in any Transaction Document after the date hereof) that
is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or on the date such person becomes a Lender, participant or otherwise acquires
an interest in any Transaction Document, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (including
as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding permitted by
law. In addition, any Lender (and any person that becomes a Lender, participant or otherwise acquires an interest in any Transaction
Document after the date hereof), if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding under FATCA, backup
withholding or information reporting requirements, and to comply with any information reporting requirements, including under FATCA.
Each Lender (and the Administrative Agent) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(m) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any Transaction Document, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, pay additional
amounts, gross-up or otherwise compensate any Lender, participant, Administrative Agent, Managing Agent or any other person with an
interest in the Transaction Documents as a result of any Tax imposed (i) under FATCA or (ii) as a result of such Person’s
failure to provide any form or certification described in clauses (d) and (l) such Person is legally able to provide.
(n) If
any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes (including any Tax credit
in lieu of refund) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.13(b) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 2.13), as soon as practicable after it is determined that such refund pertains to Taxes giving rise to such refund, it
shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party,
upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(n)
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required
to repay such refund to such taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (n), in no event will the indemnified
party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (n) the payment of which would place the indemnified
party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts
with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person.

(iv) 100%
of the proceeds from the sale of the Transferred Loan(s) to be replaced in connection with such Substitution are either applied by the
Borrower to acquire the Substitute Loan(s) or deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) no
selection procedure adverse to the interest of the Secured Parties was utilized by the Borrower or the Servicer in the selection of the
Transferred Loans to be substituted or the Substitute Loans and such transaction was conducted on an arm’s length basis or carrying
value and otherwise on terms no less favorable to the Borrower than would be the case if such Person were not such an Affiliate;

Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent and the Collection Account Bank

Custodian the Loan Documents for any Substitute Loans and shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent electronic copies of all such

confirmation of the delivery of a Substitute Loan for each applicable Transferred Loan being substituted for, each applicable Transferred

Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions
set forth therein, such Lender will purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other
adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances Outstanding of the Lenders to be on a
pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or
Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Advances Outstanding of each Lender
will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting
Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive
any Unused Fee or Reduction Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be
required to pay any such Unused Fee or Reduction Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender).
Section 2.17.
Replacement of Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 11.1), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments
pursuant to Section 2.12(a)) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender) (a “Replacement Lender”); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Advances owed to it, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

be authorized to exercise any equity rights in accordance with the Investment Policy.

evidence as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest

Administrative Agent that the E-Vault Provider has established an Electronic Vault in the name of the Collateral Custodian on behalf
of the Borrower, (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received a fully executed electronic collateral control agreement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, granting the Administrative Agent control of the Electronic Vault
in the name of the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Borrower that is maintained with the E-Vault Provider and (z) with respect
to all of the Required Loan Documents with respect to a Transferred Loan acquired by the Borrower during the Initial Period that are
in Electronic Form, the sole authoritative copies of such Required Loan Documents shall have been deposited through the Electronic
System into the Electronic Vault in the name of the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Borrower that is maintained with the

the failure to satisfy this Section 5.1(pp) with respect to the Required Loan Documents for any Transferred Loans acquired by
the Borrower during the Initial Period that are in Electronic Form shall result in such Transferred Loans that were Eligible Loans
during the Initial Period no longer being Eligible Loans as of the first Business Day following the end of the Initial Period.
(qq)

Trigger Date unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, with respect to no less than fifty percent (50.0%) of the Outstanding
Loan Balances of the Fixed Rate Loans that are included as part of the Collateral, enter into and maintain a Hedge Transaction with a
Hedge Counterparty which Hedge Transaction shall: (i) be in form and substance as shall be reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent
and (ii) shall provide for payments to the Borrower to the extent that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall exceed a rate agreed upon between
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent the occurrence of a Hedging Trigger Date, the Borrower
may enter into and maintain a Hedge Transaction with a Hedge Counterparty with respect to all or part of the Advances made hereunder against
the Outstanding Loan Balance of Fixed Rate Loans.
(b)
As additional security hereunder, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, all
right, title and interest of the Borrower in any and all Hedging Agreements, any and all Hedge Transactions, and any and all present
and future amounts payable by a Hedge Counterparty to the Borrower under or in connection with its respective Hedging Agreement and
Hedge Transaction(s) (collectively, the “Hedge Collateral”), and grants a security interest to the Administrative
Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Hedge Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges that, as a result of that assignment,
the Borrower may not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, exercise any rights under any Hedging Agreement
or Hedge Transaction, except for the Borrower’s right under any Hedging Agreement to enter into Hedge Transactions in order to
meet the Borrower’s obligations under Section 5.2(a) hereof. Nothing herein shall have the effect of releasing the
Borrower from any of its obligations under any Hedging Agreement or any Hedge Transaction, nor be construed as requiring the consent
of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for the performance by the Borrower of any such obligations.

interest in, to and under (but none of its obligations under) the Collateral, whether now existing or owned or hereafter arising or acquired
by the Borrower, and wherever located. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, to file
an “all assets” financing statement to evidence the security interest granted in the Collateral hereunder. The assignment
under this Section 6.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent,
the Managing Agents or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all
of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower
shall remain liable under the Transferred Loans to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder
to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured

depository with respect to the Collection Account Bank,and/or the
depository with respect to the Operating Account and/or the Funding Account Bank,
to deliver any or all of the Collateral to the Administrative Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions and
entitlement orders to the Collateral Custodian, the depository with
respect to the Collection Account Bank,and/or

Bank, regarding the Collateral; (ii) require that the Borrower or the Collateral Custodian immediately take action
to liquidate the Collateral to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, all without judicial process or proceedings; (iv) take control of the Proceeds of
any such Collateral; (v) exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (vi) release, make extensions,
discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (vii) enforce the Borrower’s

equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (ix) subject to the Collateral
Custodian’s rights and protections herein, remove from the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s, the Collateral
Custodian’s and their respective agents’ place of business all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral,

forms giving each relevant administrative agent or Obligor, as applicable, notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in the
Collateral and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent and/or (xi) endorse the name of the Borrower
upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor. For
purposes of taking the actions described in subsections (i) through (xi) of this Section 6.2 the Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest is
irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid), with power of substitution, in the name of the Administrative Agent or in
the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Administrative Agent, but at the cost and expense of the
Borrower and without notice to the Borrower; provided that the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to exercise such power only
so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties agree that the sale of
the Collateral shall be conducted in good faith and in accordance with commercially reasonable practices.
Section 6.3.
Release of Liens. (a) At the same time as any Transferred Loan that is part of the Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts
in respect thereof have been paid by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, the Administrative Agent as agent for
the Secured Parties shall be deemed to automatically release its interest in such Loan and the Related Property with respect thereto.

Account by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall be deemed to automatically release its interest
in such funds.

Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, release its interest in such Loan and the Related Property with respect
thereto.
(e) In
connection with any release of lien pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), subject to the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent for such release, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, will, at the Borrower’s
cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower a release in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and any termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Borrower or the Servicer on
behalf of the Borrower may reasonably request in order to effect the release of the applicable Transferred Loans and Related Property;
provided, that, the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties will make no representation or warranty, express or implied,
with respect to any such Loan or Related Property in connection with such release.

an Event of Default the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Sale
and Contribution Agreement, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent,
the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Sale and Contribution
Agreement. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that such assignment to the Administrative Agent shall terminate upon the Collection
Date; provided, however, that the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to such assignment with respect
to rights and remedies in connection with any indemnities and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by the BDC
pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement, which rights and remedies survive the termination of the Sale and Contribution Agreement,
shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such assignment.

long as the Borrower or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer, to the extent that such Loan Files are not held by the Collateral Custodian,

payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or
otherwise required by contract (including by the Loan Documents) or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be

then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
(g)
It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, in addition to acting in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, the Servicer may engage in other business and render other services outside the scope of its capacity as Servicer
(including acting as a lender with respect to Loan Documents). It is hereby further acknowledged and agreed that such other
activities shall in no way whatsoever alter, amend or modify any of the Servicer’s rights, duties or obligations under the
Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, its duty to comply in all material respects with the Investment Policy).
Section 7.3.
Authorization of the Servicer. (a) Each of the Borrower, each Managing Agent, on behalf of itself and the related Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and each Hedge Counterparty hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps
in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Transferred Loans to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, each Hedge Counterparty, and the Collateral Custodian, in the determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts
due under any and all Transferred Loans, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing
Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Transferred Loans and, after the delinquency of any Transferred Loan and to
the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to
the same extent as the BDC could have done if it had continued to own such Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer may not execute
any document in the name of, or which imposes any direct obligation on, the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent, any Lender or any
Hedge Counterparty. The Borrower shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with
the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Transferred Loans. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled
to make the any Lender, any Managing Agent, any Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent a party to any
litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any
routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.
(b) After an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, the Servicer shall take such action as
the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Transferred Loans; provided, however, that
the Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to
any Transferred Loans of the assignment of such Transferred Loans to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts
due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lock-box
or other account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent may enforce collection of any such Transferred Loans and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. The Administrative
Agent shall give written notice to any Successor Servicer of the Administrative Agent’s actions or directions pursuant to this Section
7.3(b), and no Successor Servicer shall take any actions pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) that are outside of the Investment

provisions of the Transferred Loans as and when the same become due, and will follow collection procedures which are consistent with

Transferred Loan, except as may be in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Policy and the Servicing Standard, including
the waiver of any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Loan included

(c) Taxes
and other Amounts. To the extent provided for in any Transferred Loan, the Servicer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to

Account. On or before the Effective Date and thereafter on or before the related Purchase Date, the Servicer shall have instructed
all Obligors to make all payments in respect of Loans included in the Collateral to the Master Collection Account or the OperatingCollection

on its behalf, shall cause to be established before the Sixth Amendment
Effective Date, and maintained in the name of the Borrower, with the Collection Account Bank,
an accountKeyBank, for the purpose of receiving Collections
from the Collateral (including by sweeps from the Master Collection Account and the Operating
Account pursuant to this Agreement), which shall be pledged on a first priority basis to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured
Parties, and, subject to Section 5.1(qq), subject to the Collection
Account SACADACA
(including any successor account, the “Collection Account”). The account number with respect to the Collection Account

consented to such update upon receipt of prior written notice from the Collection Account Bank of such updated account number and a fully
executed amendment to the Collection Account SACA, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto, reflecting
the same. The Borrower and the Servicer shall from time to time deposit into the Collection Account, promptly upon receipt
thereof, all Collections received by the Borrower or the Servicer. All amounts deposited from time to time in the Collection Account
pursuant to this Agreement shall be held as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. TheOther
than for the time period permitted pursuant to Section 5.1(qq), the Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control”

collections from any other Loans owned by the Servicer for its own account or serviced by the Servicer for the account of its Affiliates
and, subject to Section 5.1(qq), subject at all times to the Increditor

of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower and the Servicer shall cause all Collections on deposit in the Master Collection Account to

the parties hereby acknowledge that amounts held in the Master Collection Account may represent the assets of separate entities (including
i40 Funding, LLC, the Servicer and the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, cash attributable to collections on Loans owned by i40
Funding, LLC or the Servicer, which is held in the Master Collection Account from time to time, does not represent Collateral hereunder,
and cash attributable to Collections on Loans owned by the Borrower, which is held in the Master Collection Account from time to time,
does not represent collateral under the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2023, among i40 Funding, LLC, as the borrower, Trinity
Capital Inc., as the servicer, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders, KeyBank National Association,
as the administrative agent and syndication agent and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the collateral custodian, as amended, restated,

of Advances, which shall be pledged on a first priority basis to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, and,
subject to Section 5.1(qq), subject to an Account Control Agreement (including any successor account, the “Operating
Account”). The account number with respect to the Operating Account shall be set forth on Schedule VIII, as updated
from time to time with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall cause
all amounts on deposit in the Operating Account to be swept on every second Business Day into the Collection Account. All amounts deposited
from time to time in the Operating Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be held as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to
the purposes herein provided. The Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control” within the meaning of the applicable
UCC over the Operating Account. The Borrower, or the Servicer on its behalf, shall cause to be established before the Effective Date,
and maintained in the name of the Borrower, with the Funding Account Bank, an account for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of Advances,
which shall be pledged on a first priority basis to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, and subject to the Funding
Account SACA (including any successor account, the “Funding Account”). The account number with respect to the Funding
Account shall be set forth on Schedule VIII, as updated from time to time with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;
provided that with respect to any required update to the account number with respect to the Funding Account in connection with the sale
of the corporate trust services business of Wells Fargo to Computershare, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented
to such update upon receipt of prior written notice from the Funding Account Bank with respect thereto of such updated account number
and a fully executed amendment to the Funding Account SACA, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties thereto, reflecting
the same. TheOther than for the the time period permitted
pursuant to Section 5.1(qq), the Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control” within the meaning of the
applicable UCC over the FundingOperating
Account.

and such Collection was received by the Borrower or the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the
Borrower or the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more
than the actual amount of such Collection, the Borrower or the Servicer may withdraw such funds from the Collection Account and/or shall
appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake, and in
either case shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and deliver to the Administrative Agent such information or documentation
evidencing the same as it may reasonably request. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed
not to have been paid.
(g) Delivery
of Collections. The Servicer agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and cause the delivery to the Master
Collection Account, the Operating Account or the Collection Account promptly (but in
no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt), all Collections received by Servicer in respect of the Loans that are part of
the Collateral.
Section
7.5. Servicer Advances. For each Settlement Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof)
that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan included in the Collateral during such Settlement Period was not received prior to the
end of such Settlement Period, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in an amount up to the amount of
such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) to the extent that the Servicer reasonably determines, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, that it expects to be reimbursed for such advance, and in addition, if on any Payment Date there are not
sufficient funds on deposit in the Collection Account to pay accrued Interest on any Advance for the related Settlement Period, the
Servicer may, but shall not be obligated to, make an advance in the amount necessary to pay such Interest (in either case, any such
advance, a “Servicer Advance”). The foregoing is not intended to be an authorization of such action by Borrower,
but instead is intended to be a consent to such action by the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Lenders. The
Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the last
day of the related Settlement Period, in immediately available funds.
Section
7.6. Realization Upon Defaulted Loans. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of any Related Property with respect to a Defaulted Loan and will act as sales and processing agent for Related Property
it repossesses. The Servicer will follow the practices and procedures set forth in the Investment Policy and consistent with the
Servicing Standard in order to realize upon such Related Property. The Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair
or toward the repossession of such Related Property unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will
increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the
Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Property with respect to a Defaulted Loan. The Borrower
shall reimburse the Servicer for any reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Servicer and paid to any third-party
under this Section 7.6 in accordance with Section 2.8.

jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, including the Administrative Agent’s right, in its own name and as agent for the
Secured Parties, to immediately, without notice except as specified below, conduct (at the Borrower’s expense) the sale of all
or any portion of the Collateral in one or more parcels, in good faith and in accordance with commercially reasonable practices, it
being hereby agreed and acknowledged by the Borrower that (i) some or all of the Collateral is or may be of the type that threatens
to decline speedily in value and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall incur any liability as a
result of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. If there is no

arm’s length basis and in good faith and in accordance with commercially reasonable practices. The Administrative Agent shall
not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent, may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,

accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. The Borrower and the Servicer hereby
waive any claims against the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which
any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was
less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the
first offer received and does not offer any portion of the Collateral to more than one offeree; provided that the Administrative
Agent has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale. Without in any way limiting the Administrative Agent’s
right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby

Administrative Agent conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;
(2) such
foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York; and

at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a
timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Servicer is required by law or contract to be
kept confidential) relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents,
contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the

subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the
applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder.
(e) Each
of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through
or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter
in force in any locality where any portion of the Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure
of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any portion of the Collateral, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately
after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through
or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to
have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent
on its behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral
as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby
acknowledges and agrees that (i) any and all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties
arising out of, or in connection with, the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights or remedies pursuant to this Section
8.2 can be sufficiently and adequately remedied by monetary damages, (ii) no irreparable injury will be caused to the Borrower or
the Servicer as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands, and (iii) no equitable or injunctive relief shall
be sought by the Borrower or the Servicer as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands.
(f) The
Administrative Agent is authorized to set off any and all amounts due to the Administrative Agent and/or the other Secured Parties hereunder
against any amounts payable to the Borrower or the Servicer by the Administrative Agent and/or the other Secured Parties, in each case,
as applicable and whether or not such amounts have matured.
(g) The
aforementioned rights and remedies shall be without limitation, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties otherwise available under any provision of this Agreement by operation of law, at equity or otherwise,
each of which are expressly preserved.

enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section

Administrative Agent and Managing Agents in their Individual Capacities. The Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each of
their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or
any Affiliate of the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent, as the case may be, were not the Administrative
Agent or a Managing Agent, as the case may be, hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Advances pursuant to this Agreement, the

Borrower and the Secured Parties, and the Administrative Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Lenders resign as Administrative
Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders during such five (5) day period shall appoint from among the
Secured Parties (other than the Bank Parties) a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the
Required Lenders during such five (5) day period, then effective upon the expiration of such five (5) day period, the Secured Parties
(other than the Bank Parties) shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments
in respect of the Obligations directly to the applicable Managing Agents, on behalf of the Lenders in the applicable Lender Group and
for all purposes shall deal directly with the Secured Parties. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of Article IX and Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
(b)
Any Managing Agent may, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the related Lenders, and any
Managing Agent will, upon the direction of all of the related Lenders resign as a Managing Agent. If a Managing Agent shall resign,
then the related Lenders during such five (5) day period shall appoint from among the related Lenders a successor Managing Agent. If
for any reason no successor Managing Agent is appointed by such Lenders during such five (5) day period, then effective upon the
expiration of such five (5) day period, such Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the related Managing Agent hereunder. After
any retiring Managing Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Managing Agent, the provisions of Article IX and Article
X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Managing Agent under this

to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto,

one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such
Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans

for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and

other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Lender.

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender
or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the
immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender
party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a

entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in
connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Transaction Document
or any documents related hereto or thereto).
Section 10.10. Erroneous
Payments.
(a)
If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured
Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has
determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any
funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise
erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient
on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise,
individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion
thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party
shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly,
but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or
portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in
respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice
of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)
Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment,
prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise)
from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified
in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment,
prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z)
that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each
case:
| (A) | an error may have been made (in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x)
or (y)) or an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and |
| (B) | such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day
of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof
and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.10(b). |
(c)
Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent
to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause
(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand
therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its
respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s
request to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect
to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous
Payment Return Deficiency (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee (if any) to be waived by
the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and
Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an approved
electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment
and (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to
such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement
and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(e) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by
the Borrower or any other obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the
amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other
obligor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine
(g)
Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

XI
Assignments;
Participations
Section 11.1.
Assignments and Participations. (a) The Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this
Agreement.
(b) Any
Lender may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Lenders”) that are
Eligible Assignees all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement,
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Assignment and Acceptance”) executed by such
Purchasing Lender and such selling Lender. In addition, except with respect to an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such
assignment; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the assigning Lender within five (5) Business Days after having received
written notice thereof. Each assignee of a Lender must be an Eligible Assignee and must agree to deliver to the Administrative
Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Managing Agent for its Lender Group, an enforceability opinion in form and
substance satisfactory to such Managing Agent. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent,
such selling Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing
Lender shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required. The Lenders agree that any assignments arranged by the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates shall be offered to the Lenders ratably, and if accepted by each Lender in its sole discretion, shall be made by the
Lenders ratably.
(c) By
executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Purchasing Lender thereunder and the selling Lender thereunder confirm to
and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance,
such selling Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such Purchasing Lender
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iii) such Purchasing Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, the
selling Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (iv) such Purchasing Lender and such selling
Lender confirm that such Purchasing Lender is an Eligible Assignee; (v) such Purchasing Lender appoints and authorizes each of the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement as are delegated to such agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto;
and (vi) such Purchasing Lender agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms
of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d)
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred
to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of, each Advance owned by each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Lenders, the Borrower and
the Managing Agents may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lenders, any Managing Agent, or the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)
Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.1, upon their receipt of
an Assignment and Acceptance executed by a selling Lender and a Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment
and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, accept such Assignment and Acceptance,
and the Administrative Agent shall then (i) record the information contained therein in the Register and (ii) give prompt notice thereof
to each Managing Agent.
(f)
Any Lender may sell to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower, the Servicer,
the BDC or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any natural Person) (each a “Participant”) participating interests
in the Advances made by such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Lender of a participating
interest to a Participant, such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall
remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, the other Lenders, the Managing Agents
and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any such Participant in respect of
such participating interest shall not restrict such Lender’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification
to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification set forth in Section 12.1(iii) of this Agreement.
The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations
therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(d) and (l) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.13(d) and (l) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 11.1; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have
been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs
after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of
the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in
any Advances or other obligations under any Transaction Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)
Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
11.1, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower or the
Servicer furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Servicer.
(h)
Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning as collateral
any of its rights under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance
with Applicable Law and any such pledge or collateral assignment may be made without compliance with Section 11.1(b) or Section
11.1(c).
(i)
In the event any Lender causes increased costs, expenses or taxes to be incurred
by the Administrative Agent or Managing Agents in connection with the assignment or participation of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee then such Lender agrees that it will make reasonable efforts to assign such increased costs,
expenses or taxes to such Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(j)
Except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(k)
Any Eligible Assignee or Participant on the date it becomes a Lender or Participant hereunder shall certify in the applicable Assignment
and Acceptance, participation agreement or other similar document that it is an Eligible Assignee (in the case of an Assignee) or in accordance
with the terms of Section 11.1(f) (in the case of a Participant). Any failure to include such a certification in an Assignment
and Acceptance, participation agreement or other applicable document shall render such Assignment and Acceptance, participation agreement
or other similar document void ab initio and of no force or effect for any purpose.
(l)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, each Lender hereunder, and each
Participant, must at all times be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the 1940 Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”)
and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time
(a “QIB”). Each Lender represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether
by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder,
that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB. Each Lender further agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of
its Advances or its Commitment to any Person unless such Person is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB.

interest of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties and of the Secured Parties to the Collateral to be promptly recorded,
registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required
by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties hereunder
to all property comprising the Collateral. The Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause the Servicer to deliver, to the Administrative Agent
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following

above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 12.11.
(b)
The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly authorize, execute and deliver all instruments and documents,
and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect,
protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Secured
Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any Transaction Document.
(c) If
the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after five Business Days’ notice from the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of,
such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article IX, as applicable. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to file
financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, including, without limitation, one or more
financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Debtor whether now owned or hereafter

a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and
to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable.
(d) Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will, not earlier than six (6) months
and not later than three (3) months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statement referred to in Section
3.1 or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any Advance hereunder, unless the
Collection Date shall have occurred:
(i)
authorize, deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement;
and
(ii) deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion of the counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect
to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the Collateral hereunder continues to be subject to a perfected security interest in
favor of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein
or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.
Section 12.12.
Confidentiality; Conflicts of Interest. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the other Secured Parties and the
Borrower shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and the other
confidential proprietary information with respect to the other parties hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in
connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its
officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external accountants and attorneys and as required by an Applicable Law,
as required to be publicly filed with SEC, or as required by an order of any judicial or administrative proceeding, (ii) disclose the
existence of this Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action,

claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, Loan Documents or any Hedging Agreement
and (iv) disclose such information to its Affiliates to the extent necessary in connection with the administration or enforcement of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(b)
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with
respect to it for use in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Transaction Documents (i) to the Administrative
Agent or the Secured Parties by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to any prospective or actual Eligible
Assignee or participant of any of them or in connection with a pledge or assignment to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(h) or (iii)
by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to any provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to a Secured
Party and to any officers, directors, members, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such
Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information and agrees to be bound hereby. In addition, the Secured Parties and
the Administrative Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order
of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings, including, without limitation, at the request of any self-regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over a Lender.
(c) The Borrower and
the Servicer each agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to) issue any news release or make any public
announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public
announcement is required by law, in which case the Borrower or the Servicer shall consult with the Administrative Agent and each
Managing Agent prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement. The Borrower and the Servicer each may, however,
disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to trade creditors,
suppliers and other similarly-situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public
announcement.
(d)
The Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders and the Managing Agents (and their Affiliates) may be providing financing or other services
to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or its Affiliates may have conflicting interests. The Borrower acknowledges that no
Lender, Managing Agent, or any Affiliate thereof shall have any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower or its Affiliates, any confidential information obtained from such other companies.
Section 12.13.
Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement shall be valid,
binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means
of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the UCC
(collectively, “Signature Law”); (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual
signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity,
legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature,
of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For avoidance of
doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings and authentication of certificates when required
under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings. This Agreement contains the final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the
entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
Section
12.14. Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot
Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower
and the Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Servicer, which information includes the name and address
of the Borrower and the Servicer and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify
the Borrower and the Servicer in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
Section 12.15.
Legal Holidays. In the event that the date of any Payment Date, date of prepayment or Maturity Date shall not be a Business Day, then
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, payment need not be made on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Payment Date, date of prepayment
or Maturity Date, as the case may be, and interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after any such nominal date to
but excluding such next succeeding Business Day.
Section 12.16
No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph,
the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, the Servicer, their stockholders
and/or their affiliates. The Borrower and the Servicer (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Credit Parties”)
each agree that nothing in the Transaction Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship
or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, the Servicer, their stockholders and/or affiliates,
on the other. The Borrower and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders,
on the one hand, and the Borrower and the Servicer, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto,
(x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or the Servicer, its stockholders or its affiliates
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading
thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower or the Servicer, its stockholders
or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower or the Servicer except the obligations expressly set forth
in the Transaction Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower or the
Servicer, or its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer acknowledges and agrees
that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its
own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees
that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to
such Person, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
Section
12.17 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such
obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and
such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(a)
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(b)
the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender),
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any
assignee or participant.
The Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section
12.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”
and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”)
in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents
and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other
state of the United States):
(a)
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support
(and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing
such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be
effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest,
obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a
Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may
be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be
exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of
the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and
remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to
a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)
As used in this Section 12.18, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate”
of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k))
of such party.
“Covered Entity”
means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.
§ 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b);
or (iii) 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.
“QFC” has the
meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

purported Loan Documents, the Loan Checklist and an updated Loan List (the “Review Period”), or, if more than
fifty (50) Loan Documents are delivered on any particular Business Day, such greater time period that is mutually acceptable to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian (which acceptance may be conclusively confirmed by e-mail), the
Collateral Custodian shall review the purported Required Loan Documents delivered to it to confirm that (A) if the Loan Checklist
indicates that any document must contain an original signature, each such document appears to bear the original signature, or if the
Loan Checklist indicates that such document may contain a copy of a signature, that such document appears on its face to bear a
reproduction of such signature and (B) based on a review of the applicable note (or the applicable Contract, in the case of an
Equipment Finance Loan), the related initial Loan balance, Loan identification number and Obligor name with respect to such Loan is
referenced on the related Loan Checklist and the Loan to which such Required Loan Documents relate is not a duplicate Loan (such
items (A) through (B) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the
Collateral Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Loan Documents hereunder to the Collateral Custodian, the Servicer shall
provide to the Collateral Custodian the updated Loan List (in EXCEL or a comparable format acceptable to the Collateral Custodian)
and the related Loan Checklist that contains a list of all Required Loan Documents and whether they require original signatures, the

Review Criteria; provided, however that if such non-compliance pertains to the receipt of original recorded documents from a
filing office, such period shall be one hundred twenty (120) days. With respect to Required Loan Documents in Electronic Form

shall be released pursuant to the direction of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in one of the following methods: (i) via a
vault to vault transfer within the E-Vault Provider’s Electronic System or (ii) such other electronic transfer as mutually
agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian.

than documents in Electronic Form) and maintained in such a manner so as to permit identification, retrieval and access. The Collateral
Custodian shall keep the Required Loan Documents (which with regards to documents in Electronic Form shall, subject to Section 5.1(pp),
be maintained in the Electronic Vault in the name of the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Borrower that is maintained with the E-Vault
Provider, identified via the Required Legend, and under the control of the Administrative Agent) clearly segregated from any other documents
or instruments in its files.
(iv) [Reserved].
(v)
On each Reporting Date, the Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer a written report (in
a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent), identifying each Loan for which it holds Loan Documents, and an Exception Report.
(vi)

respect to the accuracy of the information or data regarding the Loan Documents provided to the Collateral Custodian hereunder as contemplated
by Rule 17g-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Given the purpose and scope of the Collateral Custodian’s
services under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Collateral Custodian’s services are not commonly understood in
the market to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10. The parties hereto do not consider the Collateral Custodian’s
services to be “due diligence services” for purposes of Rule 17g-10. The parties hereto hereby acknowledges that the Collateral
Custodian is relying on this certification for purposes of determining that its services do not constitute “due diligence services”
under Rule 17g-10.

“A2” or a short-term debt rating of at least “P-1” by Moody’s (or such lower ratings as approved in writing

Intermediary and that satisfactorily passes KeyBank compliance.
Section
13.4. Collateral Custodian Removal. The Collateral Custodian may be removed, by the Administrative Agent by thirty (30) days’
notice given in writing to the Collateral Custodian (the “Collateral Custodian Termination Notice”) upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or if the Collateral Custodian fails to perform its obligations hereunder; provided that notwithstanding
its receipt of a Collateral Custodian Termination Notice, the Collateral Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor
Collateral Custodian has been appointed, has agreed to act as Collateral Custodian hereunder, and has received all Loan Documents held
by the previous Collateral Custodian.

The Paying Agent may consult with legal counsel of its own choosing, at the expense of the Borrower, as to any matter relating to this
Agreement, and the Paying Agent shall not incur any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.
(e)
Neither the Paying Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it or them hereunder except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final, non-appealable order or as otherwise agreed to by the parties.
(f)
The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any other
party (or agent thereof) to this Agreement or any related document and may assume compliance by such parties with their obligations under
this Agreement or any related agreements, unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent shall have received written notice to the
contrary at the address of the Paying Agent set forth on its signature page hereto. For purposes hereof, “Responsible Officer”
shall mean any president, vice president, executive vice president, assistant vice president, treasurer, secretary, assistant secretary,
corporate trust officer or any other officer thereof customarily performing functions similar to those performed by the individuals who
at the time shall be such officers, respectively, or to whom any matter is referred because of such officer’s knowledge of or familiarity
with the particular subject, and, in each case, having direct responsibility for the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which such person is a party.
(g)
The Paying Agent is authorized to supply any information regarding the Collection Account which is required by any law or governmental
regulation now or hereafter in effect.
(h)
If at any time the Paying Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial
or administrative process which in any way affects any property held by it hereunder or the Collection Account (including, but not limited
to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of any property), the
Paying Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems
appropriate; and if the Paying Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of
judicial or administrative process, the Paying Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity
even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been
without legal force or effect.
(i)
The Paying Agent shall not be liable for failing to comply with its obligations under this Agreement in so far as the performance of
such obligations is dependent upon the timely receipt of instructions and/or other information from any other person which are not received
or not received by the time required.
(j)
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to all the rights, protections, indemnities
and immunities provided to the Paying Agent under this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, and (ii) the Paying Agent shall be entitled
to all the rights, protections, indemnities and immunities provided to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
(k)
The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and consent to Wells Fargo acting in the multiple capacities of Paying Agent and Collateral
Custodian. Each of the parties hereto expressly acknowledges and consents to Wells Fargo’s acting in capacities similar to the
Collateral Custodian or Paying Agent under other agreements for other customers of Wells Fargo; it being understood, that Wells Fargo
may, in such capacities, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to applicable law (whether statutory, regulatory,
or judicial) or principles of equity pertaining to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other fiduciary duties.
Wells Fargo may engage in any business, lending or other transactions or activities in the ordinary course of its business with any other
Person, and shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights, powers and remedies in connection therewith to the same extent as if Wells
Fargo were not acting as the Collateral Custodian or Paying Agent hereunder.
(l)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that if the Paying Agent, solely in its capacity
as such, in good faith determines that it is uncertain about how to distribute any funds it has received or determines that any funds
are the subject of a dispute, the Paying Agent, solely in its capacity as such, may choose to defer distribution of the funds which are
the subject of such uncertainty or dispute; provided, however, that the Paying Agent, solely in its capacity as such, shall be permitted,
at the expense of the Borrower, to interplead such funds into a court of competent jurisdiction, and thereafter be fully relieved from
any and all liability or obligation with respect to such funds.
(m)
It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Paying Agent has no duties or obligations with respect to the Funding Account, the Master
Collection Account or the Operating Account.
(n)
The Paying Agent will perform its services hereunder through its corporate trust services department (including, as applicable, any agents
or Affiliates utilized thereby).
