CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Blackstone / GSO Secured Lending Fund (together, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “ Company ,” “ we ” or “ our ”), our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:


•	our future operating results;


•	our business prospects and the prospects of the companies in which we may invest;


•	the impact of the investments that we expect to make;


•	our ability to raise sufficient capital to execute our investment strategy;


•	the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;


•	our current and expected financing arrangements and investments;


•	changes in the general interest rate environment;


•	the adequacy of our cash resources, financing sources and working capital;


•	the timing and amount of cash flows, distributions and dividends, if any, from our portfolio companies;


•	our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;


•	actual and potential conflicts of interest with GSO Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser” ) or any of its affiliates;


•	the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we may invest;


•	our use of financial leverage;


•	the ability of the Adviser to source suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;


•	the ability of the Adviser or its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;


•	our ability to qualify for and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a business development company ( “BDC” );


•	the impact on our business of U.S. and international financial reform legislation, rules and regulations;


•	the effect of changes to tax legislation and our tax position; and


•	the tax status of the enterprises in which we may invest.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of any projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Part II, Item 1A of and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q . These projections and forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this report. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. Because we are an investment company, the forward-looking statements and projections contained in this report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as amended (the “ 1934 Act ”).

Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company (which such term “Company” shall include the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments) are denominated in dollars. All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”), the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the portfolio company. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company does not “control” any of these portfolio companies. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if the Company owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company is not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies.

(2)

Variable rate loans to the portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that is determined by reference to either LIBOR (“L”) or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate (“F”) or the U.S. Prime Rate (“P”)), which generally resets periodically. For each loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used and provided the spread and the interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2019 . As of June 30, 2019 , the reference rates for our variable rate loans were the 30-day L at 2.40%, the 90-day L at 2.32% and the 180-day L at 2.20% and P at 5.50%. Variable rate loans typically include an interest rate floor feature, which is generally 1.00%.

(5)	Each of the Company’s investments is pledged as collateral under one or more of its credit facilities. A single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.


(6)	The investment is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2018 , non-qualifying assets represented 11.3% of total assets as calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements.

(7) Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may be subject to unused commitment fees. Negative cost and fair value, if any, results from unamortized fees, which are capitalized to the cost of the investment.

Blackstone / GSO Secured Lending Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise noted)

Note 1. Organization

Blackstone / GSO Secured Lending Fund (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “ Company ”), is a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 26, 2018, and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. On October 26, 2018, the Company elected to be regulated as a business development company (“ BDC ”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ 1940 Act ”). In addition, the Company intends to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“ RIC ”), as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).

The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through originated loans and other securities, including syndicated loans, of private U.S. companies, specifically small and middle market companies, typically in the form of first lien senior secured and unitranche loans (including first out/last out loans), and to a lesser extent, second lien, third lien, unsecured and subordinated loans and other debt and equity securities.

The Company is externally managed by GSO Asset Management LLC (the “ Adviser ”), a subsidiary of GSO Capital Partners LP. GSO Capital Partners LP (the “ Administrator ” and, collectively with its affiliates in the credit-focused business of The Blackstone Group Inc., “ GSO ,” which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes Harvest Fund Advisors LLC and Blackstone Insurance Solutions) provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration agreement (the “ Administration Agreement ”). GSO is part of the credit-focused platform of The Blackstone Group Inc. (“ Blackstone ”) and is the primary part of its credit reporting segment.

The Company is conducting a private offering (the “ Private Offering ”) of its common shares of beneficial interest to accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ 1933 Act ”) in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. At each closing of the Private Offering, each investor makes a capital commitment (“ Capital Commitment ”) to purchase shares of the beneficial interest of the Company pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Company. Investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase the Company’s shares up to the amount of their Capital Commitments on as as-needed basis each time the Company delivers a notice to investors.

On October 31, 2018, the Company completed its initial closing of capital commitments and commenced its loan origination and investment activities on November 20, 2018, the date of receipt of the initial drawdown from investors in the Private Offering (the " Initial Drawdown Date ").

On October 19, 2018, the Company formed BGSL Jackson Hole Funding LLC (“ Jackson Hole Funding ”) and BGSL Breckenridge Funding LLC (“ Breckenridge Funding ”). On April 18, 2019, the Company formed BGSL Investments LLC (collectively with Jackson Hole Funding and Breckenridge Funding the " SPVs "). The SPVs are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and Delaware limited liability companies. These SPVs are consolidated in these consolidated financial statements commencing from each SPVs date of commencement of operations.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ U.S. GAAP ”). As an investment company, the Company applies the accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ ASC 946 ”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”). U.S. GAAP for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,

Table of Contents

certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 . All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Such amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.

The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ ASC 820 ”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See “– Note 5. Fair Value Measurements. ”

Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. The Company utilizes mid-market pricing (i.e., mid-point of average bid and ask prices) to value these investments. These market quotations are obtained from independent pricing services, if available; otherwise from at least two principal market makers or primary market dealers. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, the Adviser regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to independent pricing services or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the valuation procedures. The Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment. Examples of events that would cause market quotations to not reflect fair value could include cases when a security trades infrequently or not at all, causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale, or in the event of a “fire sale” by a distressed seller. All price overrides require approval from the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “ Board ”).

Where prices or inputs are not available or, in the judgment of the Board, not reliable, valuation techniques based on the facts and circumstances of the particular investment will be utilized. Securities that are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, the Audit Committee of the Board (the “ Audit Committee ”) and independent valuation firms

Table of Contents

engaged on the recommendation of the Adviser and at the direction of the Board. These valuation approaches involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.

The Company’s Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of the Company’s investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or are available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of an investment, which includes, among other procedures, the following:


•	The valuation process begins with each investment being preliminarily valued by the Adviser’s valuation team in conjunction with the Adviser’s investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;


•	In addition, independent valuation firms engaged by the Board prepare valuations of all the Company’s investments over a de minimis threshold. The independent valuation firms provide a final range of values on such investments to the Board and the Adviser. The independent valuation firms also provide analyses to support their valuation methodology and calculations;


•	The Adviser's Valuation Committee reviews each valuation recommendation to confirm they have been calculated in accordance with the valuation policy and compares such valuations to the independent valuation firms’ valuation ranges to ensure the Adviser’s valuations are reasonable;


•	The Valuation Committee makes valuation recommendations to the Audit Committee;


•	The Audit Committee reviews the valuation recommendations made by the Valuation Committee, including the independent valuation firms' valuations, and once approved, recommends them for approval by the Board; and


•	The Board reviews the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Audit Committee, the Valuation Committee and, where applicable, the independent valuation firms.

As part of the valuation process, the Board takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of its investments, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant, of: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, (v) a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, and (vi) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity or debt sale occurs, the Board considers whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation. See “ —Note 5. Fair Value Measurements .”

The Board has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Board may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, the Board is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process.

Derivative Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result the Company presents changes in fair value through current period gains or losses.

In the normal course of business, the Company has commitments and risks resulting from its investment transactions, which may include those involving derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are measured in terms of the notional contract amount and derive their value based upon one or more underlying instruments. While the notional amount gives some indication of the Company’s derivative activity, it generally is not exchanged, but is only used as the basis on which interest and other payments are exchanged. Derivative instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments including market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks. The Company manages these risks on an aggregate basis as part of its risk management process.

Table of Contents

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company is party to a forward purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company may agree to purchase certain assets held in the Middle Market Warehouse (defined in Note 7) at a purchase price based on the cost of the asset to the warehouse provider plus amounts of unpaid interest, original issue discount and structuring fees accrued to the warehouse provider during the time the warehouse provider owned the asset.

Forward purchase agreements are recognized at fair value through current period gains or losses on the date on which the contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. All forward purchase agreements are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. A forward purchase agreement is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled or expired.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates effective on the last business day of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.

The Company includes net changes in fair values on investments held resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations in translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including loan origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period.

PIK Income

The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“ PIK ”) provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. Such income is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

Fee Income

Table of Contents

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , no loans in the portfolio were on non-accrual status.

Organization Expenses and Offering Expenses

Costs associated with the organization of the Company are expensed as incurred, subject to the limitations discussed below. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company.

Costs associated with the offering of the Company’s shares will be capitalized as “deferred offering costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over a twelve-month period from incurrence, subject to the limitation below. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s continuous Private Offering of its shares.

The Company will not bear more than an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate Capital Commitments of the Company for organization and offering expenses in connection with the offering of shares. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed 0.10% of the Company’s total Capital Commitments, the Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. To the extent the Company’s Capital Commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on the Company’s behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.10% of total Capital Commitments and provided further that the Adviser of its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement.

The Company’s initial organization costs of $0.7 million were expensed as incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company accrued offering costs of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.4 million , respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred financing and debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These expenses are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method. Deferred financing costs related to revolving credit facilities are presented separately as an asset on the Company’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Debt issuance costs related to any issuance of installment debt or notes are presented net against the outstanding debt balance of the related security.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under the Code for the taxable year ended December 31, 2018 . So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s investors and would not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense.

Table of Contents

Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the sum of (i) its “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses and (ii) its net tax-exempt income.

In addition, based on the excise tax distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (iii) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed.

Distributions

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make quarterly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") , pursuant to which it will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of its shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then the Company’s shareholders who have not opted out of its dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places. A participating shareholder will receive an amount of shares equal to the amount of the distribution on that participant’s shares divided by the most recent quarter-end net asset value (“ NAV ”) per share that is available on the date such distribution was paid (unless the Board determines to use the NAV per share as of another time). Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will generally be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions; however, since their cash distributions will be reinvested, those shareholders will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes. The Company intends to use newly issued shares to implement the plan. Shares issued under the dividend reinvestment plan will not reduce outstanding Capital Commitments.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “ Investment Advisory Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Adviser manages the Company on a day-to-day basis. The Adviser is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring the Company’s investments and monitoring its investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis.

The Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders.

Base Management Fee

The management fee is payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of (i) prior to a quotation or listing of the Company’s securities on a national securities exchange (including through an initial public offering) or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, or a merger or other liquidity transaction with, an entity in which the Company’s shareholders receive shares of a publicly-traded company which continues to be managed by the Adviser or an affiliate thereof (“ Exchange Listing ”), 0.75%, and (ii) following an Exchange Listing, 1.0%, in each case of the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement,

Table of Contents

gross assets means the Company’s total assets determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding undrawn commitments but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts. For the first calendar quarter in which the Company had operations, gross assets were measured as the average of gross assets at the Initial Drawdown Date and at the end of such first calendar quarter. If an Exchange Listing occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the management fee will be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after the Exchange Listing based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after the Exchange Listing.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , base management fees were $ 2.5 million and $ 4.0 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $ 2.5 million and $ 0.3 million , respectively, was payable to the Adviser relating to management fees.

Incentive Fees

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, an income based incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee. Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities)), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income excludes any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The Company excludes the impact of expense support payments and recoupments from pre-incentive fee net investment income.

The Company pays its Adviser an income based incentive fee with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:


•	No income based incentive fee if the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.5%;

•

100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.76% (7.06% annualized) prior to an Exchange Listing, or 1.82% (7.27% annualized) following an Exchange Listing, of the value of the Company’s net assets. This “catch-up” portion is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 15% prior to an Exchange Listing, or 17.5% following an Exchange Listing, of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if the “catch up” is achieved; and


•	15% prior to an Exchange Listing, or 17.5% following an Exchange Listing, of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the rate of return of 1.76% (7.06% annualized) prior to an Exchange Listing, or 1.82% (7.27% annualized) following an Exchange Listing.

These calculations are prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. If an Exchange Listing occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the income based incentive fee with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income shall be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after the Exchange Listing based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after the Exchange Listing.

The second part of the incentive fee, a capital gains incentive fee, will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 15% prior to an Exchange Listing, or 17.5% following an Exchange Listing, of realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company will accrue, but will not pay, a capital gains incentive fee with respect to unrealized appreciation because a capital gains incentive fee would be owed to the Adviser if the Company were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain.

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company accrued income based incentive fees of $ 2.6 million and $ 3.8 million , respectively, of which $ 2.6 million was unpaid as of June 30, 2019 . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $ 1.6 million and $ 2.1 million , respectively, of which $ 2.1 million was not yet payable as of June 30, 2019 . As of December 31, 2018 , there was no income based or capital gains incentive fees payable to the Adviser.

Administration Agreement

On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement with GSO. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides, or oversees the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of NAV, compliance monitoring (including diligence and oversight of the Company’s other service providers), preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”), preparing materials and coordinating meetings of the Company’s Board, managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others and providing office space, equipment and office services. The Administrator may also offer to provide, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies. The initial term of the agreement is two years from October 1, 2018 and, unless terminated earlier, the Administration Agreement will renew automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board or by a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s independent trustees.

For providing these services, the Company will reimburse the Administrator for its costs, expenses and allocable portion of overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, information technology, operations and other non-investment professionals of the Administrator that perform duties for the Company; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of Blackstone or any of its affiliates. The Administrator has elected to forego any reimbursement for rent and other occupancy costs from the commencement of operations through June 30, 2019 .

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company incurred $ 0.4 million and $ 0.8 million , respectively, in expenses under the Administration Agreement, which were recorded in administrative service expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was unpaid and included in due to affiliate in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Sub-Administration and Custody Agreement

On October 1, 2018, the Administrator entered into a sub-administration agreement (the “ Sub-Administration Agreement ”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “ Sub-Administrator ”) under which the Sub-Administrator provides various accounting and administrative services to the Company. The Sub-Administrator also serves as the Company’s custodian (the “ Custodian ”). The initial term of the Sub-Administration Agreement is two years from the effective date and after expiration of the initial term and the Sub-Administration Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods, unless a written notice of non-renewal is delivered prior to 120 days prior to the expiration of the initial term or renewal term.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company incurred expenses for services provided by the Sub-Administrator and the Custodian of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

On December 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “ Expense Support Agreement ”) with the Adviser. The Adviser may elect to pay certain expenses of the Company on the Company’s behalf (each, an “ Expense Payment ”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest of the Company. Any Expense Payment that the Adviser has committed to pay shall be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.

Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in

Table of Contents

such calendar quarter (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “ Excess Operating Funds ”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “ Reimbursement Payment .” Available Operating Funds means the sum of (i) the Company’s net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company’s net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

No Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter shall be made if the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company on record dates in the applicable calendar quarter of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the annualized rate of regular cash distributions declared by the Company on record dates in the calendar quarter in which the Expense Payment was committed to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter. The Company may or may not be obligated to reimburse remaining expense support in the future.

The following table presents a summary of Expense Payments and Reimbursement Payments since the Company's commencement of operations:



For the Quarter Ended	Expense Payments by Adviser		Reimbursement Payments to Adviser			Unreimbursed Expense Payments
December 31, 2018	$	1,696	$	(200	)	$	1,496
March 31, 2019	570		—			570
	$	2,266	$	(200	)	$	2,066

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company made $0.2 million of Reimbursement Payments related to Expense Payments by the Adviser in previous periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Adviser made Expense Payments of $0.6 million, partially offset with $0.2 million of Reimbursement Payments to the Adviser. The Adviser has elected to forgo its right to receive any Reimbursement Payment related to Excess Operating Funds greater than $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 .

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodology used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets.

•

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments in this category include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

•

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include debt and equity investments in privately held entities, collateralized loan obligations (“ CLOs ”) and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurs.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company applies the valuation policy approved by its Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of the inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When an investment is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing

Table of Contents

services (that is, broker quotes), the Company subjects those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment.

In the absence of independent, reliable market quotes, an enterprise value analysis is typically performed to determine the value of equity investments, control debt investments and non-control debt investments that are credit-impaired, and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. Enterprise value (“ EV ”) means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. When an investment is valued using an EV analysis, the EV of a portfolio company is first determined and allocated over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another (i.e. “waterfall” allocation).

If debt investments are credit-impaired, which occurs when there is insufficient coverage under the EV analysis through the respective investment’s position in the capital structure, the Adviser uses the enterprise value “waterfall” approach or a recovery method (if a liquidation or restructuring is deemed likely) to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit-impaired, the Adviser uses a market interest rate yield analysis (discussed below) to determine fair value.

The Adviser will generally utilize approaches including the market approach, the income approach or both approaches, as appropriate, when calculating EV. The primary method for determining EV for non-control investments, and control investments without reliable projections, uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“ EBITDA ”) or another key financial metric (e.g. such as revenues, cash flows or net income) (“ Performance Multiple ”). Performance Multiples are typically determined based upon a review of publicly traded comparable companies and market comparable transactions, if any. The second method for determining EV (and primary method for control investments with reliable projections) uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows and the anticipated terminal value of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates. The income approach is generally used when the Adviser has visibility into the long term projected cash flows of a portfolio company, which is more common with control investments.

Subsequently, for non-control debt investments that are not credit-impaired, and where there is an absence of available market quotations, fair value is determined using a yield analysis. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, the expected cash flows are projected based on the contractual terms of the debt security and discounted back to the measurement date based on a market yield. A market yield is determined based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar investments and risk profiles. The Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the enterprise value of the portfolio company. As these debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable. The fair value of loans with call protection is generally capped at par plus applicable prepayment premium in effect at the measurement date.

(1)	The forward purchase obligation is valued as the excess of the (a) agreed upon purchase price under the Forward Purchase Agreement over the (b) fair value of the underlying investments, which is calculated in the same manner as the Company’s debt investments. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.

The significant unobservable input used in the yield analysis is the discount rate based on comparable market yields. The significant unobservable input used for market quotations are the quoted prices from independent pricing services. Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in quoted prices would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, other than investments at fair value, approximate fair value. These financial instruments are categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy.

Note 6. Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, the Company is allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company’s asset coverage was 248.0% and 227.8%, respectively.

Subscription Facility

On November 6, 2018, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Subscription Facility” ) with Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, the sole lead arranger, the letter of credit issuer and a lender, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

The maximum commitment amount of the Subscription Facility is $200 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the undrawn capital commitments of the shareholders, and restrictions imposed on borrowings under the 1940 Act. The maximum commitment amount of the Subscription Facility may be increased to $400 million through the exercise by the Company of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Company is permitted to borrow under the Subscription Facility for any purpose permitted under its constituent documents.

Borrowings under the Subscription Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, an adjusted LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period plus 2.00% or

Table of Contents

(ii) in the case of reference rate loans, the greatest of (A) the prime rate plus 1.00%, (B) the federal funds rate plus 1.50%, and (C) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 2.00%. Loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at the Company’s election, subject to certain conditions. Effective November 6, 2018, the Company pays an unused commitment fee equal to (x) 0.30% per annum when the outstanding principal obligations are less than 50% of the maximum commitment and (y) 0.25% per annum when the outstanding principal obligations are greater than or equal to 50% of the maximum commitment.

The Subscription Facility will mature upon the earliest of: (i) November 6, 2019 (the “Stated Maturity Date” ); (ii) the date upon which the administrative agent declares the obligations under the Subscription Facility due and payable after the occurrence of an event of default; (iii) 30 days prior to the termination of the Company’s constituent documents; (iv) 30 days prior to the date on which the Company’s ability to call capital contributions for the purpose of repaying the obligations under the Subscription Facility is terminated; and (v) the date the Company terminates the lender commitments pursuant to the Subscription Facility. The Stated Maturity Date may be extended, at the Company’s option, for two additional terms not longer than 364 days each, subject to customary conditions, including (x) the consent of the administrative agent and the extending lenders and (y) payment of an extension fee.

The Subscription Facility is secured by a pledge of the Company’s right, title, and interest in and to the undrawn capital commitments of the Company’s investors. The Subscription Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and consent rights granted to the lenders, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature.

As of June 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Subscription Facility.

JPM SPV Facility

On November 16, 2018, Jackson Hole Funding LLC (“ Jackson Hole Funding ”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary that holds primarily originated loan investments, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (which was subsequently amended on February 6, 2019 and as further amended from time to time, the “JPM SPV Facility” ) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ( “JPM” ). JPM serves as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., serves as collateral agent and securities intermediary, Virtus Group, LP serves as collateral administrator and the Company serves as portfolio manager under the JPM SPV Facility.

Advances under the JPM SPV Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the three-month LIBOR in effect, plus the applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. Effective January 16, 2019, Jackson Hole Funding pays a commitment fee of 0.60% per annum (or 0.375% per annum until the date that is nine months from the date the JPM SPV Facility was entered into) on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments until the third anniversary of the JPM SPV Facility.

The initial principal amount of the JPM SPV Facility is $300 million. The JPM SPV Facility has an accordion feature, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, which could bring total commitments under the JPM SPV Facility to up to $600 million. Proceeds from borrowings under the JPM SPV Facility may be used to fund portfolio investments by Jackson Hole Funding and to make advances under delayed draw term loans where Jackson Hole Funding is a lender. The period during which Jackson Hole Funding may make borrowings under the JPM SPV Facility expires on November 16, 2021 and the JPM SPV Facility is scheduled to mature on May 16, 2023 ( “Maturity Date” ).

Jackson Hole Funding’s obligations to the lenders under the JPM SPV Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in Jackson Hole Funding’s portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of Jackson Hole Funding under the JPM SPV Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure under the JPM SPV Facility is limited to the value of its investment in Jackson Hole Funding.

In connection with the JPM SPV Facility, Jackson Hole Funding has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The JPM SPV Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of Jackson Hole Funding occurs or if the Company is no longer the portfolio manager of Jackson Hole Funding. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, JPM may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the JPM SPV Facility immediately due and payable.

The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) or a market value event (as defined in the JPM SPV Facility) triggers a requirement that Jackson Hole Funding obtain the consent of JPM prior to entering into any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio assets, and the occurrence of a market value event triggers the right of JPM to direct

Table of Contents

Jackson Hole Funding to enter into sales or dispositions with respect to any portfolio assets, in each case in JPM’s sole discretion.

As of June 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the JPM SPV Facility.

BNP SPV Facility

On December 21, 2018, Breckenridge Funding LLC (“ Breckenridge Funding ”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary that holds primarily syndicated loan investments, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (which was subsequently amended on June 11, 2019 and as further amended from time to time, the “BNP SPV Facility” ) with BNP Paribas ( “BNP” ). BNP serves as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as collateral agent and the Company serves as servicer under the BNP SPV Facility.

Advances under the BNP SPV Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the three-month LIBOR in effect, plus an applicable margin of 1.50% (or 1.25% prior to the collection period end date on June 3, 2019) to 2.15% per annum depending on the nature of the advances being requested under the facility. Effective June 21, 2019, Breckenridge Funding will also pay a commitment fee of 0.70% per annum if the unused facility amount is greater than 50% or 0.35% per annum if the unused facility amount is less than or equal to 50% and greater than 25% on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments until the third anniversary of the BNP SPV Facility.

The initial maximum commitment amount of the BNP SPV Facility was $400 million. Effective June 11, 2019, the maximum commitment amount of the BNP SPV Facility was increased to $575 million. Proceeds from borrowings under the BNP SPV Facility may be used to fund portfolio investments by Breckenridge Funding and to make advances under delayed draw and revolving loans where Breckenridge Funding is a lender. The period during which Breckenridge Funding may make borrowings under the BNP SPV Facility expires on December 21, 2021 (or such later date as may be agreed by Breckenridge Funding, BNP, as administrative agent, and the lenders under the BNP SPV Facility) and the BNP SPV Facility is scheduled to mature on December 21, 2023.

Breckenridge Funding’s obligations to the lenders under the BNP SPV Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of Breckenridge Funding’s portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of Breckenridge Funding under the BNP SPV Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure under the BNP SPV Facility is limited to the value of its investment in Breckenridge Funding.

In connection with the BNP SPV Facility, Breckenridge Funding has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The BNP SPV Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of Breckenridge Funding occurs or if the Company is no longer the servicer of Breckenridge Funding. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, BNP may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the BNP SPV Facility immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) suspends the ability of Breckenridge Funding to acquire or sell additional assets.

As of June 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the BNP SPV Facility.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company’s outstanding debt obligations were as follows:

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Portfolio Company Commitments

The Company’s investment portfolio contains and is expected to continue to contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company had delayed draw terms loans with an aggregate of $ 108.8 million and $54.7 million of unfunded commitments, respectively.

Warehousing Transactions

The Company entered into two warehousing transactions whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase certain assets from parties unaffiliated with the Adviser. Such warehousing transactions were designed to assist the Company in deploying capital upon receipt of drawdown proceeds. One of these warehousing transactions relates primarily to originated or anchor investments in middle market loans (the “ Middle Market Warehouse ”). The other warehouse related primarily to broadly syndicated loans (the “ Syndicated Warehouse ” and, together with the Middle Market Warehouse, the “ Warehousing Transactions ”) prior to the acquisition of the equity interests of the Syndicated Warehouse by the Company and merger of the Syndicated Warehouse with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, as described below.

Middle Market Warehouse

On September 10, 2018, the Company entered into a Warehousing Transaction for primarily middle market loans with a warehouse provider unaffiliated with the Adviser. After the Middle Market Warehouse arrangement was entered into, the warehouse provider became a holder of greater than 5% of the Company's outstanding shares. The warehouse investments for the Middle Market Warehouse are ultimately selected by the warehouse provider, in its sole discretion, for an account which it solely controls. Recommendations for such investments are made on a non-discretionary basis by an affiliate of the Adviser, but only if the Adviser has determined the investment is desirable for the Company. The Company is a party to a forward

Table of Contents

purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agrees to purchase certain assets held in the Middle Market Warehouse at a purchase price based on the cost of the asset to the warehouse provider plus amounts of unpaid interest, original issue discount and structuring fees accrued to the warehouse provider during the time the warehouse provider owned the asset.

Under the Middle Market Warehouse, the Company has until the maturity date of September 10, 2019, which is one year from the commencement date of the warehouse, to purchase the assets in the warehouse. Additionally, the obligation to purchase assets from the warehouse provider was contingent on the Company raising sufficient funds to purchase such assets. The obligation to purchase such assets was also contingent on the assets meeting certain criteria and further the obligation to purchase such assets may be satisfied by another party (including an affiliate of the Company).

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , there was $87.6 million and $30.0 million in aggregate principal amounts of debt investments, respectively, in the Middle Market Warehouse, all of which the Company was obligated to purchase at a future date under forward purchase agreements at a purchase price of of $86.9 million and $29.8 million, respectively.

Since the Company has a contractual obligation to acquire all qualifying assets in the Middle Market Warehouse through a forward purchase agreement, the mark-to-market gain/loss of all investments is recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not, however, have any direct interest in the underlying assets nor does it have the power to control the activities most significant to the economic performance of the Middle Market Warehouse, and therefore, such assets are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This gain/loss amount is calculated as the difference between (1) the current purchase price the Company would be obligated to pay to purchase each asset under the forward purchase agreement and (2) the current fair value as determined by the Company’s valuation policy. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company had a total unrealized loss of $ 0.2 million and $0.2 million , respectively, relating to this forward purchase obligation.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not purchase any debt investments from the Middle Market Warehouse.

Syndicated Warehouse

On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into a Warehousing Transaction with a third party whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain contingencies, to purchase (or for its designee to purchase) the equity interests of a warehouse vehicle from such third party at a price equal to the initial capital contribution made by the third party equity holder plus accrued but unpaid interest on the underlying assets in the warehouse vehicle remaining after the payment of all other obligations outstanding under the credit agreement of the Syndicated Warehouse vehicle other than principal on the loan made under such credit agreement. The warehouse investments for the Syndicated Warehouse vehicle were selected by an affiliate of the Adviser as the collateral manager of the Syndicated Warehouse. Neither the Adviser nor any of its affiliates received any additional compensation from the Company in connection with serving as collateral manager of the warehouse vehicle.

The Company exercised its rights to acquire the equity interests of the Syndicated Warehouse on December 11, 2018, at which time the assets and liabilities of the warehouse started to be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a total purchase price of $24.9 million. For the period ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a loss $0.6 million, which represented the excess of total consideration paid for the equity interests over the fair value of the net assets of the Syndicated Warehouse the Company assumed on the date of acquisition.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. At June 30, 2019 , management is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation.

Note 8. Net Assets

Capital Activity

In connection with its formation, the Company has the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares at $0.001 per share par value.

Subscriptions and Drawdowns

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company entered into additional subscription agreements (the “ Subscription Agreements ”) with investors providing for the private placement of the Company’s shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase the Company’s shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment on an as-needed basis each time the Company delivers a drawdown notice to its investors. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company had received Capital Commitments totaling $2,456.6 million ( $1,508.0 million remaining undrawn), of which $55.0 million ( $34.0 million remaining undrawn) are from affiliated entities of the Adviser.

The following table summarizes the total shares issued and proceeds received related to the Company’s capital drawdowns delivered pursuant to the Subscription Agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (dollars in millions):



Common Share Issuance Date	Number of Common Shares Issued	Aggregate Offering Price
January 24, 2019	5,666,095	$	142.1
March 28, 2019	9,818,817	247.5
June 27, 2019 ⁽¹⁾	12,453,261	319.7
Total	27,938,173	$	709.3


(1)	On June 13, 2019, the Company issued a capital call and delivered capital drawdown notices totaling $319.7 million, of which $61.0 million was received subsequent to June 30, 2019 and recorded as a subscription receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions and Dividend Reinvestment

The following table summarizes the Company’s distributions declared and payable for the six months ended June 30, 2019 :

Total distributions			$	1.0000	$	20,000	$	519	20,605


(1)	The number of shares issued under the DRIP for this distribution will be determined on each respective distribution payment date.

With respect to distributions, the Company has adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, in the event of a declared cash distribution or other distribution, each shareholder that has not “opted out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	23,598	$	37,567
Weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted)	25,664,270		20,001,496
Earnings (loss) per common share (basic and diluted)	$	0.92	$	1.88

Note 10. Income Taxes

Table of Contents

Taxable income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 differs from net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, as gains and losses are generally not included in taxable income until realized.

The Company makes certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which include differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, and nondeductible federal taxes or losses among other items. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to additional paid in capital, undistributed net investment income or undistributed net realized gains on investments, as appropriate. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , there were no permanent differences.

The following reconciles the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 :



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019			Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	23,598		$	37,567
Net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation	(9,032		)	(14,703		)
Taxable/Distributable Income	$	14,566		$	22,864

The cost and unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s financial instruments, as calculated on a tax basis, at June 30, 2019 are as follows (amounts calculated using book-tax differences as of the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 ):



	June 30, 2019
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	15,679
Gross unrealized depreciation	(4,698		)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	10,981
Tax cost of investments at period end	$	1,508,678

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Financial Statements.” This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events our future performance or financial condition and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those set forth in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Part II, Item 1A of and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview and Investment Framework

We are a Delaware statutory trust structured as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we intend to elect to be treated as a RIC under the Code. We are managed by our Adviser. The Administrator will provide the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation.

Under normal market conditions, we expect to invest at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in secured debt investments (including investments that are secured by equity interests). We anticipate that our portfolio will be composed primarily of first lien senior secured and unitranche loans (including first out/last out loans), generally with total investment sizes less than $300 million, which criteria may change from time to time. To a lesser extent, we may also invest in second lien, third lien, unsecured or subordinated loans, generally with total investment sizes less than $100 million, which criteria may change from time to time, and other debt and equity securities. We do not expect to focus on investments in issuers that are distressed or in need of rescue financing.

We commenced our loan origination and investment activities contemporaneously with the initial drawdown on November 20, 2018. The proceeds from the initial drawdown and availability under our credit facilities provided us with the necessary seed capital to commence operations. See “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Borrowings .” We have entered into Warehousing Transactions that provide for the purchase of certain investments in connection with our commencement of operations. See “—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Warehousing Transactions .” We anticipate raising additional equity capital for investment purposes through additional closings under the Private Offering.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Investments

We focus primarily on loans and securities, including syndicated loans, of private U.S. companies, specifically small and middle market companies, which we define as companies with annual revenue of $50 million to $2.5 billion, at the time of investment. Specifically, we expect to target companies with $25 million to $75 million of EBITDA. In many market environments, we believe such a focus offers an opportunity for superior risk-adjusted returns.

Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, trading prices of loans and other securities and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

Revenues

We generate revenues in the form of interest income from the debt securities we hold and dividends and capital appreciation on either direct equity investments or equity interests obtained in connection with originating loans, such as options, warrants or conversion rights. Our debt investments typically have a term of five to eight years and bear interest at floating rates on the basis of a benchmark such as LIBOR. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we may receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. In some cases, our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of loans and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date.

Table of Contents

In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies, and possibly consulting fees.

Expenses

Except as specifically provided below, all investment professionals and staff of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory services to us, and the base compensation, bonus and benefits, and the routine overhead expenses, of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by the Adviser. We will bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to (a) investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to the Adviser, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) our allocable portion of compensation, overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for us; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of Blackstone or any of its affiliates; and (c) all other expenses of our operations and transactions.

With respect to costs incurred in connection with the Company's organization and offering costs, if actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed 0.10% of our total Capital Commitments, the Adviser or its affiliates will bear the excess costs. To the extent our Capital Commitments later increase, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization and offering costs made on our behalf provided that the total organization and offering costs borne by us do not exceed 0.10% of total Capital Commitments and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization and offering expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. Any sales load, platform fees, servicing fees or similar fees or expenses charged directly to an investor in our Private Offering by a placement agent or similar party will not be considered organization or offering expenses of the Company for purposes of our cap on organization and offering expenses.

From time to time, the Adviser, the Administrator or their affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. We will reimburse the Adviser, Administrator or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on our behalf. From time to time, the Adviser or the Administrator may defer or waive fees and/or rights to be reimbursed for expenses. In this regard, the Administrator has waived the right to be reimbursed for rent and related occupancy costs. However, the Administrator may seek reimbursement for such costs in future periods. All of the foregoing expenses will ultimately be borne by our shareholders, subject to the cap on organization and offering expenses described above.

Costs and expenses of the Administrator and the Adviser that are eligible for reimbursement by us will be reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of time spent, assets under management, usage rates, proportionate holdings, a combination thereof or other reasonable methods determined by the Administrator in accordance with policies adopted by the Board.

On December 12, 2018, we entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser. The Expense Support Agreement provides that, at such times as the Adviser determines, the Adviser may pay certain Expense Payments of the Company, provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest expense of ours. Such Expense Payment will be made in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after a written commitment from the Adviser to pay such expense, and/or by an offset against amounts due from us to the Adviser or its affiliates. Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined in the Expense Support Agreement) exceed Excess Operating Funds, we shall pay Reimbursement Payments to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to us within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. The amount of the Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter shall equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds in such quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to us within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to the Adviser. The Expense Support Agreement provides additional restrictions on the amount of each Reimbursement Payment for any calendar quarter. The Adviser may waive its right to receive all or a portion of any Reimbursement Payment in any particular calendar quarter, so that such Reimbursement Payment may be reimbursable in a future calendar quarter.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired $780.5 million aggregate principal amount of investments (including $30.0 million of unfunded commitments), $761.1 million of which was first lien debt, $14.2 million of which was second lien debt and $5.2 million of which was equity.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , total investment income was driven by our deployment of capital and increased invested balance of investments. The size of our investment portfolio at fair value increased from $545.3 million at December 31, 2018 to $1,519.7 million at June 30, 2019 . With the exception of one equity investment (which represented 0.34 % of the total fair value of the portfolio), all investments were income producing senior secured debt investments. There were no loans on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Expenses

Expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Table of Contents

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was driven by $651.2 million and $503.3 million, respectively, of average borrowings (at an average effective interest rate, including unused fees, of 4.53% and 4.67%, respectively) under our credit facilities related to borrowing for investments.

Management fees and income based incentive fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were driven by our deployment of capital. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , there was $17.4 million and $25.0 million of pre-incentive fee net investment income which resulted in income based incentive fees of $2.6 million and $3.8 million , respectively.

For the three month and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a capital gains incentive fee of $1.6 million and $2.1 million based upon our cumulative net realized and unrealized gains as of June 30, 2019 in the amount of $13.8 million. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual.

Organization costs and offering costs include expenses incurred in our initial formation and our Private Offering. Professional fees include legal, rating agencies, audit, tax, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred related to the management of us. Administrative service fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers, their respective staff and other non-investment professionals that perform duties for us. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, subscriptions and other costs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , the Adviser recouped $0.2 million of expense support provided to us in previous periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Adviser provided expense support of $0.6 million, partially offset with $0.2 million of recoupments. The Adviser may elect to provide additional expense support to us, subject to future Reimbursement Payments pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement described above in “— Key Components of Our Results of Operations—Expenses .”

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

We intend to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our shareholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of the sum of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and net tax-exempt income for that taxable year. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the requisite distributions to our shareholders, which generally relieve us from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may carry forward taxable income (including net capital gains, if any) in excess of current year dividend distributions from the current tax year into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such income, we will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income.

Net Unrealized Gain (Loss)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , net unrealized gain (loss) was comprised of the following (dollar amounts in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019			Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net unrealized gain (loss) on investments	9,149			14,702
Net unrealized gain (loss) on forward purchase obligation	(50		)	68
Net unrealized gain (loss) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	(67		)	(67		)
Net unrealized gain (loss)	$	9,032		$	14,703

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the net unrealized gains on investments were primarily driven by increases in the value of our syndicated loan portfolio of $8.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , we had net unrealized losses on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currency of $0.1 million , which was driven by a loss of $0.4 million on our foreign currency denominated borrowings, partially offset by a $0.3 million gain on our foreign currency denominated investments.

Net Realized Gain (Loss)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated net realized gains of $1.6 million and $3.3 million , respectively, resulting primarily from full or partial sales of syndicated loans.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash from the net proceeds from the drawdown of Capital Commitments, proceeds from net borrowings on our credit facilities and income earned on our debt investments. The primary uses of our cash and cash equivalents are for (i) originating loans and purchasing senior secured debt investments, (ii) funding the costs of our operations (including fees paid to our Adviser and expense reimbursements paid to our Administrator), (iii) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of our borrowings and (iv) cash distributions to the holders of our shares.

As of June 30, 2019 , we had three revolving credit facilities outstanding, as described in “— Borrowings ” below. We may from time to time enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities or issue debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. As of June 30, 2019 , we had an aggregate amount of $ 651.2 million of senior securities outstanding and our asset coverage ratio was 248.0% . The independent members of our Board and our sole initial shareholder approved our asset coverage limit of 150% pursuant to Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act effective September 25, 2018. As of such date, our initial shareholder was the only holder of our shares and it waived the right to receive repurchase offers pursuant to Section 61(a)(2)(D)(ii) of the 1940 Act. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our ongoing financial leverage. Further, we maintain sufficient borrowing capacity within the 150% asset coverage limitation to cover any outstanding unfunded commitments we are required to fund.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 , taken together with our $423.8 million of available capacity under our credit facilities (subject to borrowing base availability) and our $ 1,508.0 million of uncalled Capital Commitments is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term.

As of June 30, 2019 , we had $40.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $1,072.2 million , primarily as a result of funding portfolio investments of $1,274.4 million and a decrease in payables for investments purchased of $144.6 million; partially offset by proceeds from sale of investments of $320.5 million . Cash provided by financing activities was $1,106.8 million during the period, which was primarily the result of proceeds from the issuance of shares of $648.2 million , net borrowings on our credit facilities of $465.9 million; partially offset by dividends paid in cash of $6.6 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , we entered into Subscription Agreements with a number of investors providing for the private placement of our shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase our shares up to the amount of their respective capital commitment on an as-needed basis each time we deliver a drawdown notice to our investors. As of June 30, 2019 , we had received Capital Commitments totaling $2,456.6 million ( $1,508.0 million remaining undrawn), of which $55.0 million ( $34.0 million remaining undrawn) are from affiliated entities of the Adviser.

Distributions and Dividend Reinvestment

(1)	The number of shares issued under the DRIP for this distribution will be determined on each respective distribution payment date.

With respect to distributions, we have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, in the event of a declared cash distribution or other distribution, each shareholder that has not “opted out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

Borrowings

Subscription Facility

On November 6, 2018, we entered into a revolving credit facility (the “ Subscription Facility ”) with Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, the sole lead arranger, the letter of credit issuer and a lender, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

The maximum commitment amount of the Subscription Facility is $200 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the undrawn capital commitments of our investors, and restrictions imposed on borrowings under the 1940 Act. The maximum commitment amount of the Subscription Facility may be increased to $400 million through the exercise by us of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. We are permitted to borrow under the Subscription Facility for any purpose permitted under its constituent documents.

Borrowings under the Subscription Facility bear interest, at our election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, an adjusted LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period plus 2.00% or (ii) in the case of reference rate loans, the greatest of (A) the prime rate plus 1.00%, (B) the federal funds rate plus 1.50%, and (C) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 2.00%. Loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at our election, subject to certain conditions. Effective November 6, 2018, we pay an unused commitment fee equal to (x) 0.30% per annum when the outstanding principal obligations are less than 50% of the maximum commitment and (y) 0.25% per annum when the outstanding principal obligations are greater than or equal to 50% of the maximum commitment.

Table of Contents

date on which our ability to call capital contributions for the purpose of repaying the obligations under the Subscription Facility is terminated; and (v) the date we terminate the lender commitments pursuant to the Subscription Facility. The Stated Maturity Date may be extended, at our option, for two additional terms not longer than 364 days each, subject to customary conditions, including (x) the consent of the administrative agent and the extending lenders and (y) payment of an extension fee.

The Subscription Facility is secured by a pledge of our right, title, and interest in and to the undrawn capital commitments of our investors. The Subscription Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and consent rights granted to the lenders, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature.

JPM SPV Facility

On November 16, 2018, Jackson Hole Funding LLC (“ Jackson Hole Funding ”), our wholly-owned subsidiary that holds primarily originated loan investments, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (which was subsequently amended on February 6, 2019 and as further amended from time to time, the “ JPM SPV Facility ”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“ JPM ”). JPM serves as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., serves as collateral agent and securities intermediary, Virtus Group, LP serves as collateral administrator and we serve as portfolio manager under the JPM SPV Facility.

Jackson Hole Funding’s obligations to the lenders under the JPM SPV Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in Jackson Hole Funding’s portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of Jackson Hole Funding under the JPM SPV Facility are non-recourse to us, and our exposure under the JPM SPV Facility is limited to the value of its investment in Jackson Hole Funding.

In connection with the JPM SPV Facility, Jackson Hole Funding has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The JPM SPV Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of Jackson Hole Funding occurs or if the we are no longer the portfolio manager of Jackson Hole Funding. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, JPM may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the JPM SPV Facility immediately due and payable.

BNP SPV Facility

On December 21, 2018, Breckenridge Funding LLC (“ Breckenridge Funding ”), our wholly-owned subsidiary that holds primarily syndicated loan investments, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (which was subsequently amended on June 11, 2019 and as further amended from time to time, the “ BNP SPV Facility ”) with BNP Paribas (“ BNP ”). BNP serves as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as collateral agent and we serve as servicer under the BNP SPV Facility.

also pay a commitment fee of 0.70% per annum if the unused facility amount is greater than 50% or 0.35% per annum if the unused facility amount is less than or equal to 50% and greater than 25% on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments until the third anniversary of the BNP SPV Facility.

Breckenridge Funding’s obligations to the lenders under the BNP SPV Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of Breckenridge Funding’s portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of Breckenridge Funding under the BNP SPV Facility are non-recourse to us, and our exposure under the BNP SPV Facility is limited to the value of its investment in Breckenridge Funding.

In connection with the BNP SPV Facility, Breckenridge Funding has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The BNP SPV Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of Breckenridge Funding occurs or if we are no longer the servicer of Breckenridge Funding. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, BNP may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the BNP SPV Facility immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) suspends the ability of Breckenridge Funding to acquire or sell additional assets.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , our outstanding debt obligations were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1)	The unused portion is the amount upon which commitment fees, if any, are based.


(2)	The amount available reflects any limitations related to each respective credit facility’s borrowing base.


(3)	Under the Subscription Facility, we may borrow in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. As of June 30, 2019 , we had borrowings denominated in Euros (EUR) of EUR 0.07 million. As of December 31, 2018 , all borrowings outstanding were in USD.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Portfolio Company Commitments

Our investment portfolio contains and is expected to continue to contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had delayed draw terms loans with an aggregate of $ 108.8 million and $54.7 million of unfunded commitments, respectively.

Warehousing Transactions

We entered into two Warehousing Transactions whereby we agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase certain assets from parties unaffiliated with the Adviser. Such Warehousing Transactions were designed to assist us in deploying capital upon receipt of drawdown proceeds. The Middle Market Warehouse relates primarily to originated or anchor investments in middle market loans. The Syndicated Warehouse related primarily to broadly syndicated loans prior to the acquisition of the equity interests of the Syndicated Warehouse by us and merger of the Syndicated Warehouse with our wholly-owned subsidiary, as described below. See—“ Item 1A .— Risk Factors — Risks Related to an Investment in the Shares — Risks related to the Warehousing Transactions ” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Middle Market Warehouse

On September 10, 2018, we entered into a Warehousing Transaction for primarily middle market loans with a warehouse provider unaffiliated with the Adviser. After the Middle Market Warehouse arrangement was entered into, an affiliate of the warehouse provider became a holder of greater than 5% of our outstanding shares. The warehouse investments for the Middle Market Warehouse are ultimately selected by the warehouse provider, in its sole discretion, for an account which it solely controls. Recommendations for such investments are made on a non-discretionary basis by an affiliate of the Adviser, but only if the Adviser has determined the investment is desirable for us. We are party to a forward purchase agreement pursuant to which we agree to purchase certain assets held in the Middle Market Warehouse at a purchase price based on the cost of the asset to the warehouse provider plus amounts of unpaid interest, original issue discount and structuring fees accrued to the warehouse provider during the time the warehouse provider owned the asset.

Under the Middle Market Warehouse, we have until the maturity date of September 10, 2019, which is one year from the commencement date of the warehouse, to purchase the assets in the warehouse. Additionally, the obligation to purchase assets from the warehouse provider was contingent on us raising sufficient funds to purchase such assets. The obligation to purchase such assets is also contingent on the assets meeting certain criteria and further the obligation to purchase such assets may be satisfied by another party (including an affiliate of the Company).

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , there was $87.6 million and $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of debt investments, respectively, in the Middle Market Warehouse, all of which we were obligated to purchase at a future date under forward purchase agreements at a purchase price of of $86.9 million and $29.8 million, respectively.

Since we have a contractual obligation to acquire all qualifying assets in the Middle Market Warehouse through a forward purchase agreement, the mark-to-market gain/loss of all investments is recognized in our consolidated financial statements. We do not, however, have any direct interest in the underlying assets nor do we have the power to control the activities most significant to the economic performance of the Middle Market Warehouse, and therefore, such assets are not included in our consolidated financial statements. This gain/loss amount is calculated as the difference between (1) the current purchase price we would be obligated to pay to purchase each asset under the forward purchase agreement and (2) the current fair value as determined by our valuation policy. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had a total unrealized loss of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million , respectively, relating to this forward purchase obligation.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 , we did not purchase any debt investments from the Middle Market Warehouse.

Syndicated Warehouse

On August 21, 2018, we entered into a Warehousing Transaction with a third party whereby we agreed, subject to certain contingencies, to purchase (or for our designee to purchase) the equity interests of a warehouse vehicle from such third party at a price equal to the initial capital contribution made by the third party equity holder plus accrued but unpaid interest on the underlying assets in the warehouse vehicle remaining after the payment of all other obligations outstanding under the credit

Table of Contents

agreement of the Syndicated Warehouse vehicle other than principal on the loan made under such credit agreement. The warehouse investments for the Syndicated Warehouse vehicle were selected by an affiliate of the Adviser as the collateral manager of the Syndicated Warehouse. Neither the Adviser nor any of its affiliates received any additional compensation from us in connection with serving as collateral manager of the warehouse vehicle.

We exercised our rights to acquire the equity interests of the Syndicated Warehouse on December 11, 2018 for a total purchase price of $24.9 million, at which time the assets and liabilities of the warehouse started to be included in our consolidated financial statements. For the period ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a loss $0.6 million, which represented the excess of total consideration paid for the equity interests over the fair value of the net assets of the Syndicated Warehouse we assumed on the date of acquisition.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. At June 30, 2019 , management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

• the Investment Advisory Agreement;

• the Administration Agreement;

• the Middle Market Warehouse; and

• Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.

In addition to the aforementioned agreements, we, our Adviser and certain of our Adviser’s affiliates have been granted exemptive relief by the SEC to co-invest with other funds managed by our Adviser or its affiliates in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. See “ Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions. ”

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the valuation of our investment portfolio, are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019, and elsewhere in our filings with the SEC. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and practices.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Table of Contents

We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and interest rate risk.

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, our Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the Board, and in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. We intend to fund portions of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, we cannot assure shareholders that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of June 30, 2019 , 100% of our debt investments at fair value were at floating rates. Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2019 , the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors and ceilings for floating rate instruments assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure) (dollar amounts in thousands):



	Interest Income			Interest Expense			Net Income
Up 300 basis points	$	46,151		$	(19,537	)	$	26,614
Up 200 basis points	30,767			(13,025		)	17,742
Up 100 basis points	15,384			(6,512		)	8,872
Down 100 basis points	(15,384		)	6,512			(8,872		)
Down 200 basis points	(20,306		)	13,025			(7,281		)
Down 300 basis points	(20,306		)	14,979			(5,327		)

(g) Determinations of the Collateral Loans, or portions thereof, that constitute Excess Concentration Amounts will be determined in the way that produces the highest Borrowing Base at the time of determination, it being understood that a Collateral Loan (or portion thereof) that falls into more than one category of Collateral Loans will be deemed, solely for purposes of such determinations, to fall only into the category that produces the highest such Borrowing Base at such time (without duplication).

(h) [Reserved.]

(i) [Reserved.]

(j) References in this Agreement to the Borrower’s “purchase” or “acquisition” of a Collateral Loan include references to the Borrower’s acquisition of such Collateral Loan by way of a sale and/or contribution from the Equityholder and the Borrower’s making or origination of such Collateral Loan. Portions of the same Collateral Loan acquired by the Borrower on different dates (whether through purchase, receipt by contribution or the making or origination thereof, but excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Loans or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans) will, for purposes of determining the purchase price of such Collateral Loan, be treated as separate purchases on separate dates (and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Collateral Loan).

(k) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.01%.

(l) For purposes of calculating compliance with any test under this Agreement in connection with the acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment, the trade date (the “ Trade Date ”) (and not the settlement date) with respect to any such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment under consideration for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine whether such acquisition or disposition is permitted hereunder.

The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any costs, reductions, penalties or interest incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to any increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided , further , that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -60-

At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.

(iii) For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their relative Commitments, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Facility Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be made by notice to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -63-

(ii) the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “ Scheduled Unavailability Date ”); or

(iii) syndicated loans being executed in the U.S. at the time, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.18, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “ LIBOR Successor Rate ”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

(b) If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a)(i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, as applicable, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. From and after the date of the occurrence of the circumstances described under clause (a)(i) or the occurrence of the Scheduled Unavailability Date (until a LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.18(a)), (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Advances or Interest Accrual Periods), and (y) the LIBOR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Interest Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of an Advance (to the extent of the affected Advances or Interest Accrual Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Advances based on the Base Rate (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

(c) Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -93-

SECTION 12.2. Release of Security Interest . Upon the Collection Date or pursuant to Section 8.08, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall reasonably request in order to reassign, release or terminate the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately terminate and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instrument as the Borrower shall reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article VII in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

SECTION 12.3. Rights and Remedies . The Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designees shall, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent, (a) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other document relating to the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (b) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, all without judicial process or proceedings; (c) take control of the Proceeds of any such Collateral; (d) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Documents, exercise

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -94-

any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (e) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (f) enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; (g) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (h) require that the Borrower immediately take all actions necessary to cause the liquidation of the Collateral in order to pay all amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents; (i) redeem any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (j) make copies of all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral; and (k) 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder waive all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of any of their rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or their affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing.

The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of either Agent or the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (a) through (k) of this Section 7.03 the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid), with power of substitution, in the name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as expressly required by Applicable Law, without notice to the Borrower.

Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such item of Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale.

Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 7.03 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -95-

every covenant contained in this Section 7.03 shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder, and each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement or any defense relating to the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to any 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 the No Action Letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC, (2) shall be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party has not registered or sought to register the Collateral under the Securities Act, even if the Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration process, and (3) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Collateral sold by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby waive any claims against the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent 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 or the Collateral Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder, provided that Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale. Without in any way limiting the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -96-

(3) not more than thirty days before, and not less than three Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale.

In connection with the sale of the Collateral following the acceleration of the Obligations, the Equityholder, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to purchase any or all of the Collateral, in each case by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all outstanding Obligations. If the Equityholder, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates fail to exercise this purchase right within ten (10) days following such acceleration of the Obligations, then such contractual rights shall be irrevocably forfeited by the Equityholder, the Servicer and all Affiliates thereof, but nothing herein shall prevent the Equityholder, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates from bidding at any sale of such Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement unless and to the extent expressly so directed by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party if such action would, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent (x) be in violation of or contrary to applicable law or any provisions of this Agreement or other Facility Document or (y) expose the Collateral Agent to liability unless it has received reasonably satisfactory indemnity with respect thereto.

All sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent from time to time on demand in accordance with the Priority of Payments and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 12.4. Remedies Cumulative . Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by either of the Agents or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

SECTION 12.5. Related Documents . (a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Documents, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of either Agent, promptly forward to such Person all material information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the

Collateral, (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the Administrative Agent any reasonably requested information relating to any specified Collateral Loans and (iii) upon the written request of either Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable discretion).

SECTION 12.6. Borrower Remains Liable . (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in and relating to the Collateral (including the Related Documents) to the extent set forth therein, and shall perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and (ii) the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral.

(a) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of Law, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

SECTION 12.7. Protection of Collateral . The Borrower shall from time to time execute, deliver, file and/or authorize the filing of all UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements and the equivalent thereof in any applicable foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents to which it is a party or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of such Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which such Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. No Agent shall have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes such Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that an Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of such Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide instruction) to such Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

(a) If the Collateral Agent has been requested or directed by the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, (or by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders) to take any action pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or such Facility Document in the manner so requested unless it shall have been provided indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with or in performing such request or direction. No provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall otherwise be construed to require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action that could in its judgment cause it to incur any cost, expenses or liability, unless it is provided indemnity acceptable to it against any such expenditure, risk, costs, expense or liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -118-

action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document unless and until directed by the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf).

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any notice given by the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, (or by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, or Persons purporting to be the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, are not entitled to give such notice, except where the Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry or investigation on its part) that the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, or Persons purporting to be the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, are not entitled to give such notice. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

(c) If in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, it may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

SECTION 17.2. Delegation of Duties . Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

SECTION 17.3. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall

No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s, any Lender’s or any other Person’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(a) No Agent shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts.

No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 13.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Each Agent shall have only the duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against any Agent. Before acting hereunder, an Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and rely

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -120-

upon such certificates and opinions as it may reasonably determine appropriate with respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or conditions precedent to such action. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(c) The delivery of reports and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Facility Document is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.

Whether or not expressly stated in such Facility Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits, protections and indemnities which are afforded to it in this Agreement.

Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party 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 and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer. Neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Servicer which may come into the possession of such Agent.

The rights of the Agents and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 12.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of any Agent hereunder.

SECTION 17.5. Successor Agents . (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 12.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation, such Agent may appoint a successor agent. The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if (i) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or (ii) if such successor agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of such Agent or any Lender. Any resignation of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 12.05. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within sixty days after giving of notice of resignation by the Collateral Agent, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

(a) Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent

In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith (except in its capacity as obligor thereunder, if applicable), or for any failure of the relevant party to provide investment instruction to the Collateral Agent in connection with the investment of funds in or from any account set forth herein.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Servicer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report or other document; provided , however , that, if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that performance by the Collateral Agent of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notices provided to it by the Servicer (and/or the Borrower) and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent 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

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -123-

necessary or appropriate). Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such item of Collateral, from time to time.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency, and it is agreed that its duties hereunder are purely ministerial in nature.

(g) Should any controversy arise between the undersigned with respect to the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall follow the instructions of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(h) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for performing the obligations expressly imposed on the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or taking any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

(k) The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to determine if a Collateral Loan meets the criteria specified in the definition of Eligible Collateral Loan.

SECTION 18.1. No Waiver; Modifications in Writing . (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or such other Facility Document, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower or the Servicer in any case shall entitle the Borrower or the Servicer to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(a) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that:

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the increase of the Commitments hereunder, only the consent of the Lender increasing its Commitment (or providing a new Commitment) shall be required for any amendment that effects such increase in Commitments.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 18.2. Notices, Etc. Except where telephonic instructions are authorized herein to be given, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, or by prepaid courier service, or by electronic mail (if the recipient has provided an email address in Schedule 5), and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that such writing is received by the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.02.

their respective addresses (or to their respective facsimile numbers or email addresses) indicated in Schedule 5, and, in the case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party in Schedule 5.

Wells Fargo agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement, any other Facility Document, or any Related Document or any document executed in connection herewith or therewith sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided , however , that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to Wells Fargo an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions as such incumbency certificate may be supplemented from time to time. If any person elects to give Wells Fargo email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and Wells Fargo in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, Wells Fargo’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. Wells Fargo shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from Wells Fargo’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

SECTION 18.3. Taxes . (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes with respect thereto, unless required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(a) The Borrower agrees to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 13.03) payable or paid by any Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -126-

by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified 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 13.06(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Facility 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 Facility Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.03(d).

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 13.03, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If any Recipient in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes with respect to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 13.03(a)), such Recipient shall reimburse the Borrower (or the Servicer, as applicable) such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred), but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, to be attributable to the relevant Indemnified Taxes; provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.03(f), in no event will any Secured Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 13.03(f) the payment of which would place such Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Secured 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. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -127-

Lender, as the case may be. 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.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 13.03(g)(ii), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.03(g)(i), each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent), deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent), two accurate, complete and signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(iii) Each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agents to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iv) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.03(v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -129-

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 13.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Lender determines, in its sole discretion that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 13.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.03 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 Facility Document.

SECTION 18.4. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification . (a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel for the Collateral Agent, costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses, search fees, UCC filing fees and the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith; and in connection with the administration and any waiver, consent, modification or amendment or similar agreement in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents and Lenders as to their respective rights, remedies and responsibilities.

Without prejudice to its rights hereunder,

the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 18.6. Assignability . (a) Each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, assign to an assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its outstanding Advances or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Commitment); provided that:

(i) each of the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (B) shall not be required if the assignee is a Permitted Assignee with respect to such assignor; and

(ii) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 13.06(a) shall not be required if (x) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred (and not been waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section 13.01) or (y) such assignment is required by any Change in Law.

The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by Section 13.03(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.06, no assignment by any Lender to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted.

(b) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Lenders.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, but with notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to Participants in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 13.06(c), Section 13.06(d), Section 13.06(e) and Section 13.17. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment. Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 13.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 13.06 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 13.03, including the requirements under Section 13.03(g)); provided that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 13.03(g) as if it were an assignee under clause (a) of this Section 13.06 and (B) no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -132-

Section 2.10, 2.11, or 13.03 which is greater than the amount the related Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions if the applicable participation had not occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(i) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (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 commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Facility Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such 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.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 13.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement and each signature page hereto and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “ Register ”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Advances maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall 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 Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 13.06. The Administrative Agent shall update and furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower from time to time at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Borrower an updated version of Schedule 1 reflecting the then-current allocation of the Commitments.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “ Qualified Purchaser ”) and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “ QIB ”). Each Lender represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by

USActive 51774144.20 53776213.6 -133-

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.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 13.17 are a material inducement for the Secured Parties to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and are an essential term hereof. The parties hereby agree that monetary damages are not adequate for a breach of the provisions of this Section 13.17 and the Administrative Agent may seek and obtain specific performance of such provisions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, insolvency, moratorium, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States federal or state bankruptcy laws, or any similar laws.

(i) a reduction in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest), or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Facility Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-in Action in relation to such liability.

SECTION 18.21. WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY .
