THE FACILITY

Section 2.01          Advances .

(a)           Advances . From time to time from the Closing Date until the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances secured by the Collateral, in an aggregate amount up to the Availability as of such date, to the Borrower (or to a Securitization Subsidiary as directed by the Borrower) for the purpose of (x) purchasing Eligible Loan Assets, (y) depositing funds in the Unfunded Exposure Account in an amount up to the Unfunded Exposure Amount of the related Delayed Draw Loan Asset or (z) making a distribution of such amounts to the holders of the membership interests of the Borrower. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Lende’s unused Commitment then in effect.

(b)           Promissory Note . Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) evidencing the Advances of such Lender with appropriate insertions as to the date and principal amount.

(c)           Borrowing Base Certificate . On each Reporting Date, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will provide a Borrowing Base Certificate, updated as of such date, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Agent). On the Business Day immediately following receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent that the Assigned Value of an Eligible Loan Asset is changed, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will deliver an adjusted Borrowing Base Certificate to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

Section 2.02          Procedure for Advances .

(a)          During the Revolving Period, the Lenders will make Advances on any Business Day at the request of the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof.

(b)          For each Advance, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian, no later than noon on (i) the proposed Advance Date for Dollar Advances and (ii) the Business Day prior to the proposed Advance Date for Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars (or such shorter period as agreed to from time to time by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders); provided that, if such Notice of Borrowing is delivered later than noon, in the case of an Advance made in Dollars, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) and an updated Loan Asset Schedule, and shall specify:

(i)          the proposed aggregate amount of such Advance; provided that the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 in such Eligible Currency;

(ii)         the proposed date of such Advance;

(iii)        a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied; provided that, in connection with any Notice of Borrowing in respect of the acquisition by the Borrower of a loan asset constituting a newly originated loan, where the related Advance is to be remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount, the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a)(ii) shall not apply, excepting that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements set forth in the proviso of Section 3.02(a)(ii) shall apply;

(iv)        the amount of cash that will be funded by the Originator into the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with any Delayed Draw Loan Asset funded by such Advance, if applicable;

(v)         whether such Advance should be remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount, the Unfunded Exposure Account, or (subject to completion of customary "know your customer" and anti-money laundering and sanctions diligence), the account of the Originator or a Securitization Subsidiary; and

(vi)        the proposed Eligible Currency of such Advance.

On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III , each Lender shall, in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing, either make available to the Borrower, by (A) if the related Notice of Borrowing was delivered at least one Business Day prior to such date, 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and (B) if the related Notice of Borrowing was delivered on such date, no later than the close of business on such date, (x) an amount equal to such Lende’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Principal Collection Subaccount or (y) an amount equal to such Lende’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, each Advance and related increase in the Advances Outstanding shall be allocated ratably to each Lender in accordance with their respective Lende’s Pro Rata Share as in effect before such increase. Any Lender which fails to remit its Pro Rata Share in connection with any Advance in accordance with this Section 2.02 shall constitute a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall have all rights available to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 .

(c)          Each Advance shall bear interest at the applicable Yield Rate.

(d)         Subject to Section 2.16 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, the payment of the Prepayment Premium, as applicable), the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period.

(e)          The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any 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.

Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b) , notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrowe’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 ) other than an Event of Default.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) ( plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(h) , in no event will the indemnified party by required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position that the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund 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.

(i)          Each party's obligations under this Section 2.11 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 Transaction Document.

(j)          If at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any Additional Amounts in accordance with this Section 2.11 , then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16(b) ); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.12          Grant of a Security Interest; Collateral Assignment of Agreements .

(a)          (i) To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent (collectively, the “ Secured Obligations ”), the Borrower hereby (A) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and (B) Grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of the Borrowe’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or Grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (z) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(ii) To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, each Securitization Subsidiary hereby (A) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and (B) Grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of such Securitization Subsidiary's right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by such Securitization Subsidiary, and wherever the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and such Securitization Subsidiary does not hereby assign, pledge or Grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) such Securitization Subsidiary shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release such Securitization Subsidiary from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (z) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

The foregoing Grants shall, for the purpose of determining the property subject to the Lien of this Agreement, be deemed to include any securities and any investments Granted to the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower, whether or not such securities or investments satisfy the criteria set forth in the definitions of "Eligible Loan Asset" or "Permitted Investments," as the case may be.

(b)          As Security for the Secured Obligations, each Loan Party hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the such Loan Party's right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) each Purchase and Sale Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), the Underlying Instruments related to each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained Interest (the “ Assigned Documents ”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under each Purchase and Sale Agreement. Each Loan Party confirms that following notice from the Administrative Agent to such Loan Party of the occurrence of an Event of Default until the Collection Date the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole right to enforce such Loan Party's rights and remedies under each Purchase and Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Collection Date.

Section 2.13          Evidence of Debt . The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 12.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and participation agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (including principal amounts and stated interest on the Advances) (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time during business hours and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Advance hereunder shall be assigned or sold, in whole or in part without registering such assignment or sale on the Register.

Section 2.14          Release of Loan Assets .

(a)          The Lien of the Collateral Agent shall be automatically released with respect to: (i) any Loan Asset (and the Related Asset) sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07 , (ii) any Loan Asset (and the Related Asset) with respect to which all amounts have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (iii) amounts distributed to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04 , and (iv) the entire Collateral following the Collection Date. Any Non-Levered Loan Asset sold by the Borrower shall be automatically released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer and the Borrower and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, give notice of such release to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit J ) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Collateral Custodian and Lender agree that the release of the Lien on any Loan Assets (and Related Assets) designated to be sold to GC Advisors LLC (or an Affiliate) for a substantially concurrent transfer to a special purpose vehicle in accordance with the No-Action Relief in connection with an Existing Golub BDC CLO (the “ No-Action Relief Assets ”) shall be deemed to occur prior to the payment by the Borrowers of its Obligations with respect to such No-Action Relief Assets on the applicable date of transfer and the release of the Lien (other than with respect to the No-Action Relief Assets) with respect to any other Loan Assets being sold to such Existing Golub BDC CLO shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the payment by the Borrower of its Obligations with respect to such Loan Assets on the applicable date of transfer, in each case, so as to allow the Borrower to sell, assign and otherwise transfer the Collateral to certain parties in accordance with the terms of the No-Action Relief and the related transaction documentation of the Existing Golub BDC CLO (it being understood no such release shall occur until the Administrative Agent has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the conditions precedent to closing of the Existing Golub BDC CLO have been satisfied).

(b)          A Securitization Subsidiary may obtain the release of its entire Securitization Subsidiary Collateral Portfolio (including such Securitization Subsidiary's Collection Accounts) and shall no longer be party to this Agreement upon (i) the closing of a Securitization by such Securitization Subsidiary and transfer by the Borrower of the equity in such Securitization Subsidiary to an Affiliate, third party or charitable trust or any combination of the foregoing and (ii) satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i)          the Borrower shall have delivered a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate and Loan Asset Schedule to the Administrative Agent reflecting such release;

(ii)         the Borrower shall deliver a list of all Loan Assets to be released;

(iii)        the Borrower shall have provided ten Business Days' prior notice of such release to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have provided its prior written consent to such release in its sole discretion;

(iv)        the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent of any amount to be deposited into the Borrowe’s Collection Account in connection with such release;

(v)         the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01 , 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall be correct in all respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date, after giving effect to such release;

(vi)        after giving effect to such release of the applicable Securitization Subsidiary Collateral Portfolio and the deposit into the Borrower Collection Account in connection therewith and any payments of Advances Outstanding expected to be made in connection with the closing of the Securitization, no Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist; and

(vii)       the Borrower and the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall agree to pay the legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian in connection with any such release.

The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of applicable Securitization Subsidiary, give notice of such release to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit J ) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions (including consenting to a UCC-3 termination for the relevant Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable) as shall reasonably be requested by the applicable Securitization Subsidiary to effect such release of the Lien in such Securitization Subsidiary Collateral Portfolio created pursuant to this Agreement (which release shall be effective simultaneously with the closing of the relevant Securitization) and to evidence that such Securitization Subsidiary is no longer party to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the applicable Securitization Subsidiary or any trustee or collateral administrator of such Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, as directed by the Servicer.

Section 2.15          Treatment of Amounts Received by any Loan Party . Amounts received by any Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets (other than Non-Levered Loan Assets) shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.

Section 2.16          Prepayment; Termination; Reduction .

(a)          Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Advances Outstanding in any Eligible Currency may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to such prepayment; provided that any prepayment of Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars shall be made by converting such prepayment into the applicable Eligible Currency at the Spot Rate to the extent sufficient funds have not been remitted in such Eligible Currency. In the event that an Advance is remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount in connection with a Notice of Borrowing in respect of the acquisition by the Borrower of a loan asset constituting a newly originated loan and such loan asset is not acquired by the Borrower within two (2) Business Days of the date of such Advance, the Servicer shall cause the Borrower to effect a prepayment in an amount equal to such Advance within two (2) Business Days of such Advance. The Borrower may use amounts on deposit in the Contribution Account at any time for purposes of making a prepayment of Advances Outstanding. Upon any prepayment in full, the Borrower shall also pay in full all accrued and unpaid Yield. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion and (ii) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) shall be irrevocable.

(b)          The Borrower may, at its option and upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice of such termination or permanent reduction in the form of Exhibit F to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, either (i) terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees, any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, payment of the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent obligations for which no claim has been made), or (ii) permanently reduce in part the Facility Amount upon payment in full, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Unused Fees ( pro rata with respect to the portion of the Facility Amount so reduced), any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Prepayment Premium shall be due (i) to any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, (ii) to the Administrative Agent as a lender if the Administrative Agent has previously resigned as Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) during the continuation of a Non-Approval Event, (iv) following the occurrence of a Currency Disruption Event and (v) if at any time the Servicer does not consent to the Alternative Rate and, upon payment in full of all Obligations hereunder, terminates the Transaction Documents. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.16 (b) .

(c)          The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Prepayment Premium constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

Section 2.17          Collections and Allocations .

(a)          The Collateral Agent shall promptly identify all Available Collections received in the Collection Account as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and shall segregate all Interest Collections and Principal Collections and transfer the same to the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount, respectively. If, notwithstanding such compliance, the Servicer receives any collections directly, the Servicer (upon obtaining knowledge thereof) shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, any such collections received directly by it (if any) to the Collection Account by the close of business within two (2) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of the receipt of such Collections; provided that the Servicer shall identify to the Collateral Agent any collections received directly by the Servicer as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections. The Collateral Agent shall further provide to the Servicer a statement as to the amount of Interest Collections and Principal Collections on deposit in the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount no later than three (3) Business Days prior to each Reporting Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b) .

(b)          On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer will
(i) deposit or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections denominated in Dollars received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date and (ii) deposit or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the applicable Eligible Currency Account all Available Collections not denominated in Dollars received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date. The Servicer may, on any date, instruct the Account Bank to convert funds on deposit in any or all Eligible Currency Accounts into Dollars using the Spot Rate. Such converted funds shall then be transferred into the Collection Account.

(c)          With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent), the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

(d)          Prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall be invested in the Standby Investment. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any Controlled Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any Controlled Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. The Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as the case may be (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein), an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, immediately upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments. The Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Contribution Account in Permitted Investments, from the Closing Date until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall not be invested.

(e)          Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04 , Section 2.17(c) or Section 2.18 .

(f)           Eligible Currency .

(i)          Subject to the Pari Passu Provisions, any and all payments made by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents shall be made in the applicable Eligible Currency, as follows: (A) repayment of Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars shall be made in the corresponding Eligible Currency, and (B) payment of interest on the Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars shall be made in the corresponding Eligible Currency. Each party hereto agrees that the Available Collections and all such other amounts described in Section 2.04(a) , Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) shall be applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.04(a) , Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) . The Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby instruct the Collateral Agent to apply the Available Collections and all such other amounts described in Section 2.04(a) , Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) in accordance with Section 2.04(a) , Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) ; provided that such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 2.04(a) , Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) .

(ii)         The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent, on the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in the Collection Account into each Eligible Currency to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to Section 2.04(a) , Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) , as applicable (as determined by the Servicer using the Spot Rate). The Borrower may receive collections on Non-Levered Loan Assets in currencies other than Eligible Currencies and deposit such funds into the Contribution Account and distribute funds in such other currencies, in each case, to the extent such amounts are not required to be deposited into the Collection Account in accordance herewith.

(iii)        Any Available Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount denominated in an Eligible Currency may be converted by the Servicer into another Eligible Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) using the Spot Rate so long as (A) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists after giving effect to such conversion, and (B) the converted amounts are used solely for purposes of acquiring a Loan denominated in such other Eligible Currency pursuant to Section 2.18 . The Servicer shall provide no less than one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any such conversion.

Section 2.18          Reinvestment of Principal Collections .

On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount:

(a)          direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Granted hereunder; provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)          all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 and Section 3.04 have been satisfied;

(ii)         no Event of Default has occurred, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment;

(iii)        delivery of a Disbursement Request executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or

(b)          direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding in the applicable Eligible Currency at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.16 .

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall release funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount as directed by the Servicer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) the amount requested by the Servicer for reinvestment or repayment and (y) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day.

Section 2.19          Defaulting Lenders .

(a)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the portion of the Loan funded by such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may have taken any action hereunder; provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable.

(b)          In the event that the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower determines (such determination not to be unreasonably withheld) that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and the provisions of clause (a) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Lender; provided that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)           Replacement of a Lender .

(i)          If any Lender other than Morgan Stanley becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Lender other than Morgan Stanley or any Affiliate thereof imposes or attempts to impose costs pursuant to Section 2.10, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon not less than five (5) Business Days advance notice to the Administrative Agent and (if different) the related Lender, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04 ), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a Lender hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) the assignee shall not be an Affiliate of any of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Originator and (C) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Advances funded or maintained by such Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued Fees or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the portion of the Advance held by such Lender as of such termination date, without the payment of any penalty, fee or premium. 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 exist.

(ii)         Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) above shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lende’s applicable Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance funded by such Lender. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lende’s Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance and (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Advance and Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and under each of the Transaction Documents and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned portion of the Advance and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assignment Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.20          Investment of Amounts on Deposit in Contribution Account . The Collateral Custodian shall cause the Account Bank, prior to the Closing Date, to establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing account, which shall be designated as the Contribution Account, in the name of and for the benefit of the Borrower. The Servicer may, to the extent of any amounts on deposit in the Contribution Account, withdraw such funds for the purpose of investing in Non-Levered Loan Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower, or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, shall have sole rights of withdrawal with respect to the Contribution Account, and the Account Bank shall only withdraw funds from the Contribution Account pursuant to the instructions of the Borrower or the Servicer.

Section 2.21          Incremental Facilities .

(a)          The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, elect to request, prior to the last day of the Revolving Period, an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, the “ New Commitments ”) by an amount with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender whose Commitment is being increased thereby in their respective sole discretion and subject to any internal approvals, which would increase the Facility Amount to an amount greater than $200,000,000. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “ Increased Amount Date ”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Lender or other Person (each, an “ Increasing Lender ”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (if then known). Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (A) no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments; (B) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance for each existing Lender or one or more Joinder Supplements for any new Lender executed and delivered by the Borrower, such new Lender and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register; (C) the Borrower shall pay any applicable Breakage Fees in connection with the New Commitments and shall pay any other required fees in connection with the New Commitments; (D) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other customary closing documents (substantially consistent with the documents set forth in Section 3.01 ) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or an Increasing Lender in connection with any such transaction; and (E) the effectiveness of any allocation of New Commitments to a non-Lender shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(b)          On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Lenders shall assign to each of the Increasing Lenders, and each of the Increasing Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Advances Outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Advances will be held by existing Lenders and Increasing Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Commitment and each Advance made thereunder (a “ New Advance ”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, an Advance and (iii) each new Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Commitments and all matters relating thereto.

(c)          The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrowe’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Commitments and the Increasing Lenders and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Lender, the respective interests in such Lende’s Advances, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.21 .

The terms and provisions of the New Advances shall be identical to the Advances.

Without limiting any obligation of the Servicer hereunder, each Loan Party confirms and agrees that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or any designee thereof, including, the Servicer), following an Event of Default, shall, at its option, have the sole right to enforce such Loan Party's rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of such Loan Party under any such Assigned Document. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Applicable Margin shall be increased pursuant to the definition thereof, effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall apply on each day after the occurrence of such Event of Default.

Section 7.02       Additional Remedies of the Administrative Agent .

(a)       If, upon the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date (including, the date on which the Facility Maturity Date is declared (or is deemed to have occurred automatically) pursuant to Section 7.01 ), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Fees and Yield and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders, to immediately sell (at the Borrowe’s expense) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral Portfolio and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations.

(b)       The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent or all of the Lenders declares the Advances Outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

(c)       If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, each Loan Party and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder.

(d)       Each of each Loan Party 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 Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of each Loan Party 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 Collateral Agent, or 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 Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine. Pursuant to the UCC, each of each Loan Party and the Collateral Agent hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to a Secured Party's purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in various no-action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a "public" sale for purposes of the UCC and (2) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that a Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

(e)       Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c) , or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f)       The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower.

(g)       Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

(h)       Each of each Loan Party and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints, during the continuance of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, each Loan Party and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, each Loan Party shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(i)       The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, on behalf of each Loan Party, to endorse the name of such Loan Party or the Originator, as applicable, upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or agreement or item, coming into the Administrative Agent's possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of such Loan Party, either before or after demand of payment on the Obligations but only during the existence of an Event of Default, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to preserve the security interests and Liens in the Collateral or to secure the repayment of the Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. The application by the Administrative Agent of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 2.04 hereof.

Section 7.03      Option to Purchase Collateral . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any liquidation in full of the Collateral, including without limitation, (a) upon the termination of the Commitment following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (b) at the Stated Maturity, provided that, in the case of the Servicer, a Servicer Default described in clause (g) of the definition thereof, the Servicer, the Equityholder and/or any of their Affiliates shall, subject to the additional requirements set forth in this Section 7.03 , have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the-then accrued and outstanding Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Any such party may exercise such right by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) of its election to exercise such right (the “ Exercise Notice ”) which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Stated Maturity or the date on which each of the Equity Investors and the Warehouse Collateral Manager receive notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Commitments, as applicable; provided that if notice of an Event of Default and termination of the Commitment is delivered by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. New York City time, the Exercise Notice shall be delivered not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the date of such notice. Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. The cash purchase price must be received no later than 10 Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice or, if earlier, upon settlement of the loan transfers. The Administrative Agent shall not cause liquidation of the Loan Assets to occur during the time that the Servicer and Equityholder are entitled to provide an Exercise Notice. The sale of Collateral by a Loan Party as set forth in this Section 7.03 is not intended to be a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale under the UCC and the Borrower shall be required to deliver the Collateral to one legal buyer in accordance with market settlement procedures.

Section 8.01       Indemnities by the Borrower .

(a)       Except for Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim) and without limiting any other rights which the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Loan Parties hereby agree to indemnify, jointly and severally, the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “ Indemnified Party ” for purposes of this Article VIII ) against, and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements of (x) one outside counsel to the Administrative Agent (and any Lender Affiliated with the Administrative Agent) and the Lenders (subject to clause (z) below), (y) one outside counsel to the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian, and (z) one counsel per foreign or local jurisdiction deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “ Indemnified Amounts ”), awarded against or actually incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any of the Collateral or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including the enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Borrower, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or shareholders); provided that Indemnified Amounts shall not be available to an Indemnified Party to the extent that such damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (ii) result from Loan Assets which are uncollectible due to the Obligo’s financial inability to pay.

(b)      Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within two (2) Business Days following the Administrative Agent's written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.01 , shall submit to the Borrower a certificate (solely based on information provided by such Indemnified Party if not the Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c)       If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d)       If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.

(e)       The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Servicer, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(b)       Any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Indemnified Party, within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by the Servicer of the Administrative Agent's written demand therefor (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 2 , shall submit to the Servicer a certificate setting forth the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c)       If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(d)       The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Borrower, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)       The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets.

(f)       Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral.

Section 8.03       Waiver of Certain Claims . To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the Borrower or the Servicer shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

Section 8.04       Legal Proceedings . In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “ Action ”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01 , the first sentence of Section 8.02 , as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action.

Section 8.05       After-Tax Basis . Indemnification under Sections 8.01 and Section 8.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01       The Administrative Agent .

(a)        Appointment . Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender. Each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)        Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(vi)      If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Custodian is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Custodian may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by the Administrative Agent. If the Collateral Custodian does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Custodian may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Custodian shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(c)       (i) The Collateral Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and deliver any Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent (pursuant to a written request in the form of Exhibit J ), as applicable, as requested in order to take any action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including any rights arising with respect to Article VII . In the event the Collateral Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Agent, the Servicer or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)       The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Custodian to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(iii)       The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian, or the Administrative Agent.

As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the Collateral Custodian Fees from the Borrower as set forth in the Wells Fargo Fee Letter, payable pursuant to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04 . The Collateral Custodian's entitlement to receive the Collateral Custodian Fees shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (a) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 11.05 , (b) its resignation as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 11.07 of this Agreement or (c) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.05      Collateral Custodian Removal .

In the case of a resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian, if no successor shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Custodian within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian.

Section 11.06      Limitation on Liability .

(d)       The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder that might in its judgment be contrary to Applicable Law or involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

(h)       Subject in all cases to the last sentence of Section 11.02(c)(i) , in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Facility Maturity Date, request instructions from the Servicer and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Facility Maturity Date, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent.

(i)        It is expressly acknowledged by the parties hereto that application and performance by the Collateral Custodian of its various duties hereunder (including, without limitation, recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notice provided to it by the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party, and the Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate).

(j)        The Collateral Custodian shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from circumstances beyond its control (such circumstances include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services).
