  • Fair value is determined in good faith subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors of the Company (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).
  • Par amount is denominated in USD unless otherwise noted, and represents funded commitments. See Note 23 in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies.
  • Denotes investments in which the Company owns greater than 25% of the equity, where the governing documents of each entity preclude the Company from exercising a controlling influence over the management or policies of such entity. The Company does not have the right to elect or appoint more than 25% of the directors or another party has the right to elect or appoint more directors than the Company and has the right to appoint certain members of senior management. Therefore, the Company has determined that these entities are not controlled affiliates.

  • Denotes investments in which we are an “Affiliated Person,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), due to holding the power to vote or owning 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the investment but not controlling the company.

  • Gross additions includes increases in the basis of investments resulting from new portfolio investments, payment-in-kind interest or dividends, the accretion of discounts, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company into this category from a different category.

  • Gross reductions include decreases in the basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, the amortization of premiums, the exchange of one or more existing securities for one or more new securities and the movement of an existing portfolio company out of this category into a different category.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a 87% and 100% equity ownership interest in ChyronHego Corporation and Merx Aviation Finance, LLC, respectively.

  • Unless otherwise indicated, loans contain a variable rate structure, and the terms in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments disclose the actual interest rate in effect as of the reporting period which may be subject to interest floors. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”) or an alternate base rate (which can include but is not limited to LIBOR, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, and which reset periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. Certain borrowers may elect to borrow Prime rate on select contracts and switch to an alternative base rate contract in the future.
  • Substantially all securities are pledged as collateral to the Company's credit facilities (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements). For investments that are pledged to the Company's credit facilities, a single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities. As such, these securities are not available as collateral to our general creditors.
  • The negative fair value is the result of the commitment being valued below par.
  • These are co-investments made with the Company’s affiliates in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order the Company received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permitting us to do so. (See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the exemptive order from the SEC.)
  • Other than the investments noted by this footnote, the fair value of the Company’s investments is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”).

We commenced operations on April 8, 2004 receiving net proceeds of $870,000 from our initial public offering by selling 62 million shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share (20.7 million shares at a price of $45.00 per share adjusted for the one-for-three reverse stock split). Since then, and through March 31, 2025, we have raised approximately $2,240,067 in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock, including the Mergers with AFT and AIF (see Note 10 “Mergers with AFT and AIF” for additional information), and repurchased common stock for $254,186.

On November 7, 2023, the Company entered into (i) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “AFT Merger Agreement”) with Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AFT”), AFT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AFT Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Apollo Investment Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser" or "AIM”), and (ii) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “AIF Merger Agreement” and, together with the AFT Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”) with Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AIF”), AIF Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AIF Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Investment Adviser. The Merger Agreements provide that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Merger Agreement, at the effective time of such merger, AFT and AIF will, through a two-step merger process, merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. Each of the Company’s Board, and AFT’s and AIF’s Board of Directors, including all of the respective independent directors, in each case, on the recommendation of special committees comprised solely of certain independent directors of the Company or AFT and AIF, as applicable, approved the applicable Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company's stockholders approved the necessary proposal related to the mergers of AFT and AIF with and into the Company at a special meeting of stockholders held on May 28, 2024. AFT and AIF received stockholder approval of the necessary proposals related to their previously announced mergers with and into the Company at the AFT and AIF special meetings of stockholders reconvened on June 21, 2024. On July 22, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of AFT and AIF. For more information on the Mergers, please see Note 10 “Mergers with AFT and AIF” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Apollo Investment Management, L.P. is our investment adviser and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“AGM”). The Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of and provides investment advisory services to the Company.

Apollo Investment Administration, LLC (the “Administrator” or “AIA”), an affiliate of AGM, provides, among other things, administrative services and facilities for the Company. Furthermore, AIA provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We primarily invest in directly originated and privately negotiated first lien senior secured loans to privately held U.S. middle-market companies, which the Company generally defines as companies with less than $75 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as may be adjusted for market disruptions, mergers and acquisitions-related charges and synergies, and other items. To a lesser extent, we may invest in other types of securities including first lien unitranche, second lien senior secured, unsecured, subordinated, and mezzanine loans, and equities in both private and public middle market companies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements on Form 10-Q, ASC 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, have been included.

Under the 1940 Act, ASC 946, and the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services to benefit us.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses, gains and losses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, credit worthiness of our portfolio companies, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Consolidation

As provided under Regulation S-X and 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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of March 31, 2025 the Company's consolidated subsidiaries were MFIC Bethesda CLO 1 LLC, Bethesda CLO 1 Depositor LLC, MFIC Bethesda CLO 2 LLC, Bethesda CLO 2 Depositor LLC, MFIC Amplify SPV LLC, MFIC Lender LLC, MFIC Hera SPV LLC, MFIC Omada SPV LLC, MFIC Alpha SPV LLC, MFIC Poseidon SPV LLC and MFIC Transformer SPV LLC.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and near maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain money market funds, U.S. Treasury Bills, repurchase agreements, and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents held as of March 31, 2025 was $83,703. Cash and cash equivalents held as of December 31, 2024 was $74,357.

Collateral on Option Contracts

Collateral on option contracts represents restricted cash held by our counterparty as collateral against our derivative instruments until such contracts mature or are settled upon per agreement of buyer and seller of the contract. In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, the Statements of Cash Flows outline the changes in cash, including both restricted and unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company held certain foreign currency forward contracts with a fair market value of $33. The Company did not hold any derivative contracts as of December 31, 2024.

Investment Transactions

Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains and losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as a receivable for investments sold and a payable for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), where fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that establishes a three-tier hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, such as the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value using a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs for the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets or liabilities may not be an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

MIDCAP FINANCIAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the values that would be received upon an actual disposition of such investments.

Investment Valuation Process

The Board has designated the Investment Adviser as its “valuation designee” pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, and in that role the Investment Adviser is responsible for performing fair value determinations relating to all of the Company's investments, including periodically assessing and managing any material valuation risks and establishing and applying fair value methodologies, in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Board. Even though the Board designated the Company's Investment Adviser as “valuation designee,” the Board continues to be responsible for overseeing the processes for determining fair valuation.

Under the Company's valuation policies and procedures, the Investment Adviser values investments, including certain secured debt, unsecured debt and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker, primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are unavailable or are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our independent third party valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such investments. Investments purchased within the quarter before the valuation date and debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount accreted/premium amortized to the date of maturity (although they are typically valued at available market quotations), unless such valuation, in the judgment of our Investment Adviser, does not represent fair value. In this case such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Investment Adviser including using market quotations where available. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Investment Adviser. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Investment Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

  • Our quarterly valuation process begins with independent valuation firms conducting independent appraisals and assessments for all the investments they have been engaged to review. If an independent valuation firm is not engaged during a particular quarter, the valuation may be conducted by the Investment Adviser;
  • Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our Investment Adviser;

Table of Contents

MIDCAP FINANCIAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

  • The Investment Adviser discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of the applicable independent valuation firm; and
  • For Level 3 investments entered into within the current quarter, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.

Investments determined by these valuation procedures which have a fair value of less than $1 million during the prior fiscal quarter may be valued based on inputs identified by the Investment Adviser without the necessity of obtaining valuation from an independent valuation firm, if once annually an independent valuation firm using the procedures described herein provides an independent assessment of value. Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, seniority of investment in the investee company’s capital structure, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values, among other factors. When readily available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to the Company’s valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the 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 and realized gains or losses through current period earnings.

Derivative instruments are measured in terms of the notional contract amount and derive their value based upon one or more underlying instruments. 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. The derivatives may require the Company to pay or receive an upfront fee or premium. These upfront fees or premiums are carried forward as cost or proceeds to the derivatives.

Exchange-traded derivatives which include put and call options are valued based on the last reported sales price on the date of valuation. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including credit default swaps, are valued by the Investment Adviser using quotations from counterparties. In instances where models are used, the value of the OTC derivative is derived from the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs, such as credit spreads.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another at a pre-determined price at a future date. Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded within derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Purchases and settlements of foreign currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date. The Company does not utilize hedge accounting with respect to foreign currency forward contracts and as such, the Company recognizes its foreign currency forward contracts at fair value with changes included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Company has elected not to offset cash collateral against the fair value of derivative contracts. The fair values of these derivatives are presented on a gross basis, even when derivatives are subject to master netting agreements.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company held certain foreign currency forward contracts with a fair market value of $33. The Company did not hold any derivatives as of December 31, 2024.

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). We have not elected the Fair Value Option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities. Debt issued by the Company is reported at amortized cost (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements). The carrying value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities or their close proximity of the originations to the measurement date.

Realized Gains or Losses

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. Securities that have been called by the issuer are recorded at the call price on the call effective date.

Investment Income Recognition

The Company records interest and dividend income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Some of our loans and other investments, including certain preferred equity investments, may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK income computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point the Company believes PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. The Company does not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if the Company believes that PIK is expected to be realized.

Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest and/or dividends in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest/dividend cash payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when it is no longer probable that principal or interest/dividend cash payments will be collected. Such non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest or dividends are paid in cash, and in management’s judgment, are likely to continue timely payment of their remaining interest or dividend obligations. Interest or dividend cash payments received on non-accrual designated investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount (“OID”), and market discounts are capitalized and accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans using the effective interest method or straight-line, as applicable. Upon the prepayment of a loan, prepayment premiums, any unamortized loan origination fees, OID, or market discounts are recorded as interest income. Other income generally includes amendment fees, bridge fees, and structuring fees which are recorded when earned.

The Company records as dividend income the accretable yield from its beneficial interests in structured products such as CLOs based upon a number of cash flow assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies. Such assumptions include the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts (which may be subject to prepayments and defaults) of the underlying pool of assets. These assumptions are updated on at least a quarterly basis to reflect changes related to a particular security, actual historical data, and market changes. A structured product investment typically has an underlying pool of assets. Payments on structured product investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such assets. As such, any unforeseen event in these underlying pools of assets might impact the expected recovery of principal and future accrual of income.

Expenses

Expenses include management fees, performance-based incentive fees, interest expense, insurance expenses, administrative service fees, legal fees, directors’ fees, audit and tax service expenses, third-party valuation fees and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Financing Costs

The Company records expenses related to shelf filings and applicable offering costs as deferred financing costs in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. To the extent such expenses relate to equity offerings, these expenses are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with ASC 946-20-25, or charged to expense if no offering is completed.

The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs. The deferred financing cost for all outstanding debt is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, except that incurred under the Senior Secured Facility (as defined in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements), which the Company presents as an asset on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation which approximates the effective yield method. In the event that we modify or extinguish our debt before maturity, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). For modifications to or exchanges of our Senior Secured Facility (as defined in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements), any unamortized deferred financing costs relating to lenders who are not part of the new lending group are expensed. For extinguishments of our senior secured notes and senior unsecured notes, any unamortized deferred financing costs are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt in determining the gain or loss from the extinguishment.

Foreign Currency Translations

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the foreign exchange rate on the date of valuation. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Company’s investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including without limitation: foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually. 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.

Share Repurchases

In connection with the Company’s share repurchase program, the cost of shares repurchased is charged to net assets on the trade date.

Federal and State Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must (among other requirements) meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company (among other requirements) has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from corporate-level income taxes. For income tax purposes, distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders through March 31, 2025 may include return of capital, however, the exact amount cannot be determined at this point. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending December 31, 2025. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividend and distributions and other permanent book and tax difference are reclassified to paid-in capital.

If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains in the calendar year earned, we will generally be required to pay excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income for the year. 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 taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated undistributed taxable income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

If we fail to satisfy the annual distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distribution would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitation under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividend-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our stockholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non RIC years. In addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Penalties or interest, if applicable, that may be assessed relating to income taxes would be classified as other operating expenses in the consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2025, there were no uncertain tax positions and no amounts accrued for interest or penalties. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Although we file both federal and state income tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal.

Retroactive Adjustments for Common Stock Reverse Split

The Company’s Board approved a one-for-three reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on October 30, 2018, which was effective as of close of business as of November 30, 2018 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All common share and common per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split as disclosed in Note 7.

Purchase Accounting

Pursuant to the AFT Merger Agreement, AFT Merger Sub was first merged with and into AFT, with AFT continuing as the surviving company (the “AFT First Merger”), and, following the effectiveness of the AFT First Merger, AFT was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the AFT First Merger, the “AFT Mergers”). Pursuant to the AIF Merger Agreement, AIF Merger Sub was first merged with and into AIF, with AIF continuing as the surviving company (the “AIF First Merger”), and, following the effectiveness of the AIF First Merger, AIF was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the AIF First Merger, the “AIF Mergers” and, together with the AFT Mergers, the “Mergers”).

The Mergers were accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-50 — Business Combinations — Related Issues (“ASC Topic 805”), also referred to as “purchase accounting.” Under the asset acquisition method of accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. Per ASC Topic 805, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of non-cash assets given as consideration differs from the assets carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s books.

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Immediately following the acquisitions of AFT and AIF, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values. Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the merger consideration paid by the Company, the Company recognized a deemed contribution from Investment Adviser. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Mergers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Company operates under one operating segment and reporting unit, investment management. The CODM is the chief executive officer of the Company, who is responsible for determining the Company’s investment strategy, capital allocation, expense structure, and significant transactions impacting the Company. Key metrics include, but are not limited to, net investment income and net increase in net assets resulting from operations that is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, fair value of investments as disclosed on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, as well as distributions made to the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement with AIM

The Company has an investment advisory management agreement with the Investment Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) under which AIM receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two components — a base management fee and a performance-based incentive fee.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% (0.4375% per quarter) of the Company's net asset value as of the final business day of the prior calendar quarter; provided, however, that the base management fee shall not be greater than 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) of the lesser of (i) the average of the value of the Company's gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including other assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and (ii) the average monthly value (measured as of the last day of each month) of the Company's gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including other assets purchased with borrowed amounts) during the most recently completed calendar quarter. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The value of the Company's gross assets is calculated in accordance with the Company's valuation procedures.

Performance-based Incentive Fee

The incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) consists of two components that are determined independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on income and a portion is based on capital gains, each as described below:

(i) Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income - effective January 1, 2023

The Incentive Fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income is determined and paid quarterly in arrears by calculating the amount by which (x) the aggregate amount of the pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect of the current calendar quarter and each of the eleven preceding calendar quarters (in either case, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”) exceeds (y) the preferred return amount in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters; provided, however, that the pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the current calendar quarter exceeds the multiple of (A) 1.75% and (B) the Company's net asset value at the beginning of such calendar quarter. For the purposes of the Incentive Fee calculations, each calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters that commenced prior to January 1, 2023 shall be known as a “Legacy Fee Quarter” while a calendar quarter that commenced on or after January 1, 2023 shall be known as a “Current Fee Quarter.”

The preferred return amount is determined on a quarterly basis, and is calculated by summing the amounts obtained by multiplying 1.75% by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The preferred return amount is calculated after making appropriate adjustments to the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter for Company capital issuances and distributions during the applicable calendar quarter.

The amount of the Incentive Fee on Income that is paid to the Investment Adviser for a particular quarter equals the excess of the incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income, so calculated less the aggregate incentive fee on pre-incentive fee net investment income that were paid to the Investment Adviser (excluding waivers, if any) in the preceding eleven calendar quarters comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

The Company will pay the Investment Adviser an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

(1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters does not exceed the preferred return amount.

(2) 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters, if any, that exceeds the preferred return amount but is less than or equal to the catch-up amount, which shall be the sum of (i) the product of 2.1875% multiplied by the Company's net asset value at the beginning of each applicable Legacy Fee Quarter included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters and (ii) the product of 2.1212% multiplied by the Company's net asset value at the beginning of each applicable Current Fee Quarter included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

(3) for any quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters exceeds the catch-up amount, the incentive fee shall equal 20.00% for each Legacy Fee Quarter and 17.50% otherwise of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for such Trailing Twelve Quarters, provided, however, that the incentive fee on income for any quarter shall not be greater than 20.00% or 17.50%, as applicable, of the amount of the Company's current quarter’s pre-incentive fee net investment income.

The Incentive Fee on Income as calculated is subject to the Incentive Fee Cap. The Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20.00% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Legacy Fee Quarters included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters and 17.50% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the relevant Current Fee Quarters included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters less (b) the aggregate Incentive Fees on Income that were paid to the Investment Adviser (excluding waivers, if any) in the preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

For this purpose, “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” during the relevant trailing twelve quarters means (x) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the trailing twelve quarters less (y) any Net Capital Loss, since April 1, 2018, in respect of the trailing twelve quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap was zero or a negative value, the Company shall pay no Incentive Fee on Income to the Investment Adviser in that quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Incentive Fee on Income calculated in accordance with the calculation described above, the Company shall pay the Investment Adviser the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap was equal to or greater than the Incentive Fee on Income calculated in accordance with the calculation described above, the Company shall pay the Investment Adviser the Incentive Fee on Income for such quarter.

“Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.

B. Incentive Fee Based on Cumulative Net Realized Gains

The Incentive Fee on Capital Gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment advisory management agreement). This fee shall equal 17.50% of the sum of the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis, calculated as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of investment advisory management agreement), computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any Incentive Fees on Capital Gains previously paid to the Investment Adviser. The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation of the Company shall be calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

For accounting purposes only, we are required under GAAP to accrue a theoretical capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized capital gains and unrealized capital gain and loss on investments held at the end of each period. The accrual of this theoretical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital gain and loss is realized in order to reflect a theoretical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable to the Investment Adviser at each measurement date. There was no accrual for theoretical capital gains incentive fee for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. It should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued would not be payable under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) or the investment advisory management agreement, and would not be paid based upon such computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Amounts actually paid to the Investment Adviser will be consistent with the Advisers Act and formula reflected in the investment advisory management agreement which specifically excludes consideration of unrealized capital gain.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $6,061 and $4,386, respectively, of management fees, and $6,433 and $6,038, respectively, of incentive fees before impact of waived fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no management fees and no incentive fees were waived.

As of March 31, 2025 management and performance-based incentive fees payable were $6,061 and $6,433, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, management and performance-based incentive fees payable were $6,247 and $5,336, respectively.

In connection with the Mergers, the Company and the Investment Adviser agreed that, for purposes of incentive fee calculations under the Investment Advisory Agreement, any amortization or accretion of any purchase premium or purchase discount to interest income or any gains or losses resulting solely from accounting adjustments to the cost basis of the assets beneficially owned by AFT and AIF assets acquired in the Mergers as required under applicable accounting guidance under ASC 805 will be excluded.

Fee Offset

On January 16, 2019, the Company and AIM entered into a fee offset agreement in connection with revenue realized by AIM and its affiliates for the management of certain aircraft assets. The Company received an offsetting credit against total incentive fees otherwise due to AIM under the investment advisory management agreement. The amount offset was initially 20% of the management fee revenue earned and incentive fee revenue realized by AIM and its affiliates in connection with managing aircraft assets on related insurance balance sheets (“New Balance Sheet Investments”), new aircraft managed account capital (“New Managed Accounts”) and new dedicated aircraft funds (“New Aircraft Funds”). Once the aggregate capital raised by the New Aircraft Funds or New Managed Accounts and capital invested by the New Balance Sheet Investments exceeded $3 billion cumulatively, the fee offset would step down to 10% of the amount of incremental management fee revenue earned and incentive fee revenue realized by AIM and its affiliates. The fee offset was supposed to be in place for seven years, however the incentive fees realized by AIM and its affiliates after this seven-year period from applicable investments that were raised or made within the seven-year period would also be used to offset incentive fees payable to AIM by the Company. The offset would be limited to the amount of incentive fee payable by the Company to AIM and any unapplied fee offset which exceeds the incentive fees payable in a given quarter will carry forward to be credited against the incentive fees payable by the Company in subsequent quarters.

Effective February 21, 2023, as a result of the planned reduction and the pending departure of certain Merx personnel, Merx and Apollo agreed to terminate the fee offset agreement in exchange for a termination fee of $7.5 million.

There was no management fee and performance-based incentive fee offset for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, management fee and performance-based incentive fee offset was $0.

Administration Agreement with AIA

The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”) under which AIA provides administrative services for the Company. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator and requested to be reimbursed by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The expenses include rent and the Company’s allocable portion of compensation and other related expenses for its Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized administrative services expense under the Administration Agreement of $1,016 and $1,223, respectively. There was no amount payable to AIA and its affiliates for expenses paid on our behalf as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Administrative Service Expense Reimbursement

Merx Aviation Finance, LLC (“Merx”), a wholly-owned portfolio company of the Company, has entered into an administration agreement with the Administrator, as amended (the “Merx Administration Agreement”) under which AIA provides administrative services to Merx and several Merx managed entities for a quarterly fee of $250, effective as of January 1, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized administrative service expense reimbursements of $768 and $75, respectively, under the Merx Administration Agreement

Debt Expense Reimbursements

The Company has also entered into debt expense reimbursement agreements with Merx and several other portfolio companies, which will reimburse the Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including any interest, fees or other amounts incurred by the Company in connection with letters of credit issued on their behalf. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized debt expense reimbursements of $38 and $93, respectively, under the debt expense reimbursement agreements.

Co-Investment Activity

We may co-invest on a concurrent basis with affiliates of ours, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order we received from the SEC permitting us to do so. On January 14, 2025, we received an exemptive order from the SEC, (the “Order”), permitting us greater flexibility to negotiate the terms of co-investment transactions with certain of our affiliates, including investment funds managed by AIM or its affiliates and Apollo proprietary accounts, subject to the conditions included therein. Under the terms of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors must be able to reach certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our Board’s approved criteria. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by AIM or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, the personnel of AIM or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on allocation policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions so there can be no assurance that we will be permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates other than in the circumstances currently permitted by regulatory guidance and the Order.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s co-investment holdings were 84% of the portfolio or $2,668,475, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 80% of the portfolio or $2,701,193 were co-investments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s co-investment holdings were 80% of the portfolio or $2,417,102, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 77% of the portfolio or $2,448,523 were co-investments.

Merx Aviation

Effective January 16, 2019, Merx entered into a series of service arrangements with affiliates of AGM. Under a servicing agreement with ACM (the “Servicing Agreement”), Merx serves as technical servicer to aircraft clients of ACM and its affiliates. Under a research support agreement with ACM (the “Research Support Agreement”), Merx employees assist ACM with technical due-diligence and underwriting of new aircraft-related investment opportunities. In addition, on the same date the Company and AIM entered into a fee offset agreement in connection with revenue realized by AIM and its affiliates for the management of certain aircraft assets (the “Fee Offset Agreement”) under which the Company receives an offsetting credit against fees otherwise due to AIM under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In 2022, we announced our plans to reduce our aviation leasing platform that is operating through Merx. Effective February 21, 2023, as a result of the planned reduction and the pending departure of certain Merx personnel, Merx and Apollo agreed to an Amended Servicing Agreement and to terminate the Research Support Agreement, the Technical Support Agreement and the Fee Offset Agreement in exchange for a termination fee of $7.5 million. Under the Amended Servicing Agreement and the subservicing agreement with an affiliate, as part of the February 21, 2023 termination payment, Merx will continue to service certain legacy Apollo aircraft investments during its reduction.

  • The weighted average information is generally derived by assigning each disclosed unobservable input a proportionate weight based on the fair value of the related investment. For the commodity price unobservable input, the weighted average price is an undiscounted price based upon the estimated production level from the underlying reserves.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity securities are primarily EBITDA comparable multiples and market discount rates. The Company typically uses EBITDA comparable multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. The Company uses market discount rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security. If a debt security’s effective yield is significantly less than the market yield for a similar debt security with a similar credit profile, the resulting fair value of the debt security may be lower. For certain investments where fair value is derived based on a recovery analysis, the Company uses underlying commodity prices from third party market pricing services to determine the fair value and/or recoverable amount, which represents the proceeds expected to be collected through asset sales or liquidation. Further, for certain investments, the Company also considered the probability of future events which are not in management’s control. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the structured products include the discount rate applied in the valuation models in addition to default and recovery rates applied to projected cash flows in the valuation models. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. For certain investments such as warrants, the Company may use an option pricing technique, of which the applicable method is the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Method (“BSM”), to perform valuations. The BSM is a model of price variation over time of financial instruments, such as equity, that is used to determine the price of call or put options. Various inputs are required but the primary unobservable input into the BSM model is the underlying asset volatility.

Note 6. Debt and Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

On April 4, 2018, the Company’s Board, including a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. As a result, effective on April 4, 2019, our asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities was reduced from 200% to 150% (i.e., the revised regulatory leverage limitation permits BDCs to double the amount of borrowings, such that we would be able to borrow up to two dollars for every dollar we have in assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities issued by us).

Commencing October 17, 2028, the Company is required to repay, the outstanding amount under the Senior Secured Facility as of October 17, 2028 out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances. The stated interest rates on outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Facility depend on the type of borrowing and the “gross borrowing base” at the time. USD borrowings accrue at (a) either Term SOFR plus 1.85% per annum or Term SOFR plus 1.975% per annum, or (b) either Alternate Base Rate plus 0.75% per annum or Alternate Base Rate plus 0.875% per annum. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Senior Secured Facility and fronting fees (which fronting fee is exclusive of the applicable margin) of 0.25% per annum on the letters of credit issued.

The Senior Secured Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants, events of default and other customary provisions for similar debt facilities, including (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Senior Secured Facility): (a) periodic financial reporting requirements, (b) maintaining minimum stockholders’ equity of $1,000,000 plus 25% of the net proceeds from the sale of equity interests in the Company after July 22, 2024, (c) maintaining a ratio of total assets, less total liabilities (and indebtedness not represented by “senior securities”) to total “senior securities” representing indebtedness, in each case of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, of not less than 1.5:1.0, (d) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (e) limitations on liens, (f) limitations on investments (other than, among other exceptions, as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Company's investment policies), (g) limitations on mergers and disposition of assets (other than, among other exceptions, in the normal course of the Company’s business activities), (h) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that permit liens on properties of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and (i) limitations on the repurchase or redemption of certain unsecured debt and debt securities. In addition to the asset coverage ratio described in clause (c) of the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Senior Secured Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company’s portfolio. The advance rate applicable to any specific type of asset in the Company’s portfolio will also depend on the relevant asset coverage ratio as of the date of determination. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Facility will also continue to be subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Senior Secured Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150,000. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $6,215 and $7,828, respectively, in standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Facility. The amount available for borrowing under the Senior Secured Facility is reduced by any standby letters of credit issued through the Senior Secured Facility. Under GAAP, these letters of credit are considered commitments because no funding has been made and as such are not considered a liability. These letters of credit are not senior securities because they are not in the form of a typical financial guarantee and the portfolio companies are obligated to refund any drawn amounts. The available remaining capacity under the Senior Secured Facility was $547,803 and $682,024 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Terms used in this disclosure have the meanings set forth in the Senior Secured Facility agreement.

The Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes are scheduled to mature in October 2035 and the Subordinated Notes are scheduled to mature in October 2123; however the Bethesda CLO 1 Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer, at the direction of the Bethesda CLO 1 Depositor (at the direction of the Company) as holder of the Subordinated Notes, on any business day after October 23, 2025. In connection with the sale and contribution, the Company has made customary representations, warranties and covenants to the Issuer. The Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes are secured obligations of the Bethesda CLO 1 Issuer, the Subordinated Notes are the unsecured obligations of the Bethesda CLO 1 Issuer, and the indenture governing the Bethesda CLO 1 Notes includes customary covenants and events of default.

The Bethesda CLO 1 Notes are not, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from registration.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has various commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had the following unfunded commitments to its portfolio companies:

March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
Unfunded revolver obligations and bridge loan commitments (1) $ 261,406 $ 233,293
Standby letters of credit issued and outstanding (2) 12,112 11,381
Unfunded delayed draw loan commitments (including commitments with performance thresholds not met) (3) 253,741 240,984
Total Unfunded Commitments (4) $ 527,259 $ 485,658
  • The unfunded revolver obligations may or may not be funded to the borrowing party in the future. The amounts relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreements which includes borrowing covenants that need to be met prior to funding. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the bridge loan commitments included in the balances were $0 and $0, respectively.
  • For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of the letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.
  • The Company’s commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions which can include covenants to maintain specified leverage levels and other related borrowing base covenants. For commitments to fund delayed draw loans with performance thresholds, borrowers are required to meet certain performance requirements before the Company is obligated to fulfill these commitments.
  • The Company also had an unfunded revolver commitment to its fully controlled affiliate Merx Aviation Finance, LLC of $50,752 and $40,425 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Given the Company’s controlling interest, the timing and the amount of the funding has not been determined.

  • Includes investments acquired from the Mergers.

Note 10. Mergers with AFT and AIF

On July 22, 2024, the Company completed its mergers with AFT and AIF. Pursuant to the AFT Merger Agreement, AFT Merger Sub was first merged with and into AFT, with AFT continuing as the surviving company, and, following the effectiveness of the AFT First Merger, AFT was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the AFT Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the AFT First Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of AFT was converted into the right to receive 0.9547 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (with AFT stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Company). Pursuant to the AIF Merger Agreement, AIF Merger Sub was first merged with and into AIF, with AIF continuing as the surviving company, and, following the effectiveness of the AIF First Merger, AIF was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. In accordance with the terms of the AIF Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the AIF First Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of AIF was converted into the right to receive 0.9441 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (with AIF stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Company). As a result of the Mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,527,003 shares of its common stock to former AFT and AIF stockholders.

The Mergers were considered asset acquisitions under generally accepted accounting principles with the Company being the accounting survivor. The Mergers were accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting by the Company in accordance with ASC 805. Under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. Per ASC 805-50-30-1, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s records. ASC 805-50-30-2 provides that asset acquisitions in which the consideration given is cash are measured by the amount of cash paid. However, if the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on the cost to the acquiring entity or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measured.

The Company determined the fair value of the shares of the Company's common stock that were issued to former AFT and AIF stockholders pursuant to the AFT Merger Agreement and AIF Merger Agreement plus transaction costs to be the consideration paid in connection with the Mergers under ASC 805. The consideration paid to AFT and AIF stockholders was less than the aggregate fair values of the AFT and AIF assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase discount (the “purchase discount”). Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the merger consideration paid by the Company, the Company recognized a deemed contribution from Investment Adviser.

The Mergers were considered a tax-free reorganization and the Company has carried forward the historical adjusted tax cost of AFT and AIF investments for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Mergers:

  • Includes $2 and $2 foreign cash and cash equivalents for AFT and AIF, respectively.
  • Includes $207 and $191 management fee accrued through the closing date of the Mergers pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between AFT and AIF and an affiliate of the Investment Adviser respectively, which was terminated upon the closing of the Mergers. The payable for these fees was assumed by the Company and paid by the Company to the affiliate of the Investment Adviser in August 2024.
  • On July 22, 2024, the Company paid down outstanding debt obligations of AFT and AIF totaling $177 million.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements and has determined that there are no subsequent events outside the ordinary scope of business that require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the consolidated financial statements other than those disclosed below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the stockholders and Board of Directors of MidCap Financial Investment Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of MidCap Financial Investment Corporation (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows, and financial highlights for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows, and financial highlights for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:

  • our future operating results;
  • our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
  • the impact of investments that we expect to make;
  • our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
  • the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
  • the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
  • our expected financings and investments;
  • the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital; and
  • the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.

We generally use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including any factors set forth in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report on information available to us on the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including any annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

Overview

MidCap Financial Investment Corporation (the “Company,” “MFIC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law in February 2004. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As such, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Pursuant to this election and assuming we qualify as a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders. We commenced operations on April 8, 2004 upon completion of our initial public offering that raised $870 million in net proceeds from selling 62 million shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share (20.7 million shares at a price of $45.00 per share adjusted for the one-for-three reverse stock split). Since then, and through March 31, 2025, we have raised approximately $2.68 billion in net proceeds from additional offerings of common stock and we have repurchased common stock for $254.2 million.

Table of Contents

Apollo Investment Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser” or “AIM”) is our investment adviser and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“AGM”). The Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors (the “Board”), manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company. AGM and other affiliates manage other funds that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, with ours. AIM and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate both for us and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, AIM may determine that we should invest on a side-by-side basis with one or more other funds. We make all such investments subject to compliance with applicable regulations and interpretations, and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order (the “Order”) we received from the SEC permitting us to do so. Under the terms of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors must be able to reach certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our Board’s approved criteria. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by AIM or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, the personnel of AIM or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on allocation policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions so there can be no assurance that we will be permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates other than in the circumstances currently permitted by regulatory guidance and the Order.

Apollo Investment Administration, LLC (the “Administrator” or “AIA”), an affiliate of AGM, provides, among other things, administrative services and facilities for the Company. In addition to furnishing us with office facilities, equipment, and clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services, AIA also oversees our financial records as well as prepares our reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. AIA also performs the calculation and publication of our net asset value, the payment of our expenses and oversees the performance of various third-party service providers and the preparation and filing of our tax returns. Furthermore, AIA provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance.

Investments

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We primarily invest in directly originated and privately negotiated first lien senior secured loans to privately held U.S. middle-market companies, which the Company generally defines as companies with less than $75 million in EBITDA, as may be adjusted for market disruptions, mergers and acquisitions-related charges and synergies, and other items. To a lesser extent, we may invest in other types of securities including, first lien unitranche, second lien senior secured, unsecured, subordinated, and mezzanine loans, and equities in both private and public middle market companies. Our level of investment activity can and does 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, the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). As of March 31, 2025, non-qualifying assets represented approximately 8.5% of the total assets of the Company.

Table of Contents

Revenue

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and dividend income from the securities we hold and capital gains, if any, on investment securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Our debt investments, whether in the form of mezzanine or senior secured loans, generally have a stated term of five to ten years and bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark, such as SOFR, the federal funds rate, or the prime rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semiannually and while U.S. subordinated debt and corporate notes typically accrue interest at fixed rates, some of our investments may include zero coupon and/or step-up bonds that accrue income on a constant yield to call or maturity basis. In addition, some of our investments provide for payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. Such amounts of accrued PIK interest or dividends are added to the cost of the investment on the respective capitalization dates and generally become due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and, if applicable, consulting fees, etc.

Expenses

For all investment professionals of AIM and their staff, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services to us, the compensation and routine overhead expenses of that personnel which is allocable to those services are provided and paid for by AIM. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:

  • investment advisory and management fees;
  • expenses incurred by AIM payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring our financial and legal affairs and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies;
  • calculation of our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
  • direct costs and expenses of administration, including independent registered public accounting and legal costs;
  • costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents with the SEC;
  • interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;
  • offerings of our common stock and other securities;
  • registration and listing fees;
  • fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments;
  • transfer agent and custodial fees;
  • taxes;
  • independent directors’ fees and expenses;
  • marketing and distribution-related expenses;
  • the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing and postage costs;

  • our allocable portion of the fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
  • organizational costs; and
  • all other expenses incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business, such as our allocable portion of overhead under the administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs.

We expect our general and administrative operating expenses related to our ongoing operations to increase moderately in dollar terms. During periods of asset growth, we generally expect our general and administrative operating expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets and increase during periods of asset declines. Incentive fees, interest expense and costs relating to future offerings of securities, among others, may also increase or reduce overall operating expenses based on portfolio performance, interest rate benchmarks, and offerings of our securities relative to comparative periods, among other factors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, credit worthiness of portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to

Table of Contents

differ materially. In addition to the discussion below, our significant accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), where fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that establishes a three-tier hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, such as the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value using a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs for the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets or liabilities may not be an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities.

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the values that would be received upon an actual disposition of such investments.

As of March 31, 2025, $3.11 billion or 97.5% of the Company’s investments were classified as Level 3. The high proportion of Level 3 investments relative to our total investments is directly related to our investment philosophy and target portfolio, which consists primarily of long-term secured debt, as well as unsecured and mezzanine positions of private middle-market companies. A fundamental difference exists between our investments and those of comparable publicly traded fixed income investments, namely high-yield bonds, and this difference affects the valuation of our private investments relative to comparable publicly traded instruments.

Senior secured loans, or senior loans, are higher in the capital structure than high-yield bonds, and are typically secured by assets of the borrowing company. This improves their recovery prospects in the event of default and affords senior loans a structural advantage over high-yield bonds. Many of the Company’s investments are also privately negotiated and contain covenant protections that limit the issuer to take actions that could harm us as a creditor. High-yield bonds typically do not contain such covenants.

Given the structural advantages of capital seniority and covenant protection, the valuation of our private debt portfolio is driven more by investment specific credit factors than movements in the broader debt capital markets. Each security is evaluated individually and as indicated below, we value our private investments based upon a multi-step valuation process, including valuation recommendations from independent valuation firms.

Table of Contents

Investment Valuation Process

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company’s Board has designated the Investment Adviser as its “valuation designee” to perform the fair value determinations for all investments held by the Company. The Company's Board continues to be responsible for overseeing the processes for determining fair valuation.

Under the Company's valuation policies and procedures, the Investment Adviser values investments, including certain secured debt, unsecured debt, and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker, primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are unavailable or are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our independent third party valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such investments. Investments purchased within the quarter before the valuation date and debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount accreted/premium amortized to the date of maturity (although they are typically valued at available market quotations), unless such valuation, in the judgment of our Investment Adviser, does not represent fair value. In this case, such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Investment Adviser, including using market quotations where available. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Investment Adviser. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Investment Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

  • Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by using certain inputs provided, among others, by the investment professionals of our Investment Adviser who are responsible for the portfolio investment.
  • Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our Investment Adviser.
  • The Investment Adviser discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of the applicable independent valuation firm.
  • For Level 3 investments entered into within the current quarter, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.

Investments determined by these valuation procedures which have a fair value of less than $1 million during the prior fiscal quarter may be valued based on inputs identified by the Investment Adviser without the necessity of obtaining valuation from an independent valuation firm, if once annually an independent valuation firm using the procedures described herein provides an independent assessment of value.

Table of Contents

Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, seniority of investment in the investee company’s capital structure, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values, among other factors. When readily available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to the Company’s valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the valuation process.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, substantially all of our portfolio investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our investment adviser, as the valuation designee, as described herein. 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 our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize.

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.

Total Investment Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024

The increase in total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by increase in interest income (including PIK) of $11.5 million. The increase in total interest income was due to a higher income-bearing investment portfolio, primarily related to the assets acquired in the Mergers. This was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield for the total debt portfolio, from 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024

Net expenses increased by $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by the increase in interest and other debt expenses of $4.3 million. The increase in interest and other debt expenses was attributed to an increase in average debt outstanding, from $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset by the decrease in the total annualized cost of debt, from 7.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 6.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Management and performance based incentive fee has increased $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due to increase in yielding portfolio due to the Mergers.

Net Realized Gains (Losses)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized gross realized gains of $4.5 million and gross realized losses of $1.4 million, resulting in net realized gains of $3.1 million. Net realized gains for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily due to the exit of Orgain, Inc. and the partial exit of Heubach. Significant realized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are summarized below:

(in millions) Net Realized Gain (Loss)
Orgain, Inc.* $ 1.2
Heubach 1.0

*Orgain, Inc was sold during the quarter and the realized gain was previously recorded as an unrealized gain.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized gross realized gains of $0.6 million and gross realized losses of $8.7 million, resulting in net realized losses of $8.1 million. Net realized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the write off of the Company's investment in ViewRay. Significant realized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are summarized below:

Net Change in Unrealized Gains (Losses)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized gross unrealized gains of $12.5 million and gross unrealized losses of $19.5 million, including the impact of transferring unrealized to realized gains (losses), resulting in net change in unrealized losses in investments of $7.0 million. Net change in unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the underperformance of Renovo, AVAD, LLC and Modern Campus, the recent restructure in Mitel Networks and the sale of Orgain, Inc. The change in unrealized losses were partially offset by an increase in Merx equity, expected sale proceedings of The Club Company, performance improvement in Congruex and recent equity infusion in the Sequential Brands Inc. Significant changes in unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are summarized below:

(in millions) Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)
Merx Aviation Finance, LLC $ 1.8

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized gross unrealized gains of $20.1 million and gross unrealized losses of $15.1 million, including the impact of transferring unrealized to realized gains (losses), resulting in net change in unrealized gains of $5.0 million. Net change in unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the increase in cashflows and new lease extentions from Merx Aviation Finance, LLC, and underperformance of US Auto, International Cruise & Excursion Gallery, Naviga and ChyronHego. Significant changes in unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are summarized below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are generated and generally available through periodic follow-on equity and debt offerings, our Senior Secured Facility (as defined in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements), our senior secured notes, our senior unsecured notes, investments in special purpose entities in which we hold and finance particular investments on a non-recourse basis, as well as from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets and repayments of senior and subordinated loans and income earned from investments.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, our short-term investments, proceeds from the sale of our 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes and Bethesda CLO 1, our available borrowing capacity under our Senior Secured Facility and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). At the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider taking proactive steps utilizing cash equivalents with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility during the following quarter, pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills from time-to-time on the last business day of the quarter and typically close out that position on the following business day, settling the sale transaction on a net cash basis with the purchase, subsequent to quarter end. The Company may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on our Senior Secured Facility, as we deem appropriate.

Stockholders’ Equity

See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company’s public offerings and share repurchase plans.

Equity Issuances

We may from time to time issue and sell shares of our common stock through public or at-the-market ("ATM”) offerings. On August 13, 2024, we entered into (i) an equity distribution agreement by and among us, the Investment Adviser, the Administrator and Truist Securities, Inc. (“Truist”) and (ii) an equity distribution agreement by and among us, the Investment Adviser, the Administrator and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies,” and together with Truist, the “Sales Agents”). The equity distribution agreements with Sales Agents described in the preceding sentence are collectively referred to herein as the “Equity Distribution Agreements.” For further details regarding the Equity Distribution Agreements, see Note 7 "Stockholders’ Equity—Equity Issuances — At-the-market (“ATM”) Offering” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Distributions

Distributions paid to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $35.6 million ($0.38 per share). Distributions paid to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $24.8 million ($0.38 per share). For income tax purposes, distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. Although the tax character of distributions paid to stockholders through March 31, 2025 may include return of capital, the exact amount cannot be determined at this point. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2025. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board.

Table of Contents

To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment. Currently, we have substantial net capital loss carryforwards and consequently do not expect to generate cumulative net capital gains in the foreseeable future.

We maintain an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a dividend, then stockholders’ cash dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash dividends.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, our revolving credit facility may limit our ability to declare dividends if we default under certain provisions or fail to satisfy certain other conditions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we may suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a RIC. In addition, in accordance with GAAP and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual PIK, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may not be able to meet the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC.

With respect to the distributions to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies is treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.

PIK Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, PIK income totaled $3.5 million on total investment income of $78.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, PIK income totaled $2.0 million on total investment income of $68.3 million. In order to maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders annually in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s PIK income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.

Investment Valuation Risk

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board based on, among other things, the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our Board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation (with certain de minimis exceptions). 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 our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our 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 we 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 we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have 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. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” and “—Fair Value Measurements” as well as Notes 2 and 5 to our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for more information relating to our investment valuation.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of March 31, 2025, the majority of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are SOFR-based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate) and typically have durations of one to six months after which they reset to current market interest rates, and many of which are subject to certain floors. Further, our Senior Secured Facility, Class A-1 Notes under the Bethesda CLO 1 and the Notes under MFIC Bethesda CLO 2 LLC bears interest at SOFR rates with no interest rate floors, while our 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the estimated annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate flows for variable rate instruments) to our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of March 31, 2025, assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

Basis Point Change Net Investment Income Net Investment Income Per Share
Up 150 basis points $ 14.0 million $ 0.151
Up 100 basis points 9.4 million 0.100
Up 50 basis points 4.7 million 0.050
Down 50 basis points (4.6) million (0.049 )
Down 100 basis points (9.1) million (0.097 )
Down 150 basis points (13.6) million (0.145 )

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations from time-to-time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2025 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act")). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge are any material legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While we do not expect that the resolution of these matters if they arise would materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, resolution will be subject to various uncertainties and could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factor below and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Trade negotiations and related government actions may create regulatory uncertainty for our portfolio companies and our investment strategies and adversely affect the profitability of our portfolio companies.

In recent years, the U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries, and has made proposals and taken actions related thereto. For example, the U.S. government has imposed, and may in the future further increase, tariffs on certain foreign goods, including from China, such as steel and aluminum. Some foreign governments, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods. Most recently, the current U.S. presidential administration has imposed or sought to impose significant increases to tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including from China, Canada and Mexico. Tariffs on imported goods could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by current and future portfolio companies and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of portfolio companies whose businesses rely on goods imported from such impacted jurisdictions.

There is uncertainty as to further actions that may be taken under the current U.S. presidential administration with respect to U.S. trade policy. Further governmental actions related to the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers, or changes to international trade agreements or policies, could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by current and future portfolio companies and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of companies whose businesses rely on goods imported from outside of the United States. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our portfolio companies’ access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn would negatively impact us.

Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the Repurchase Plans. Pursuant to the Repurchase Plans, the Company may from time to time repurchase a portion of its shares of common stock and the Company is hereby notifying stockholders of its intention as required by applicable securities laws.

Under the Repurchase Plans described above, the Company allocated the following amounts to be repurchased in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1 (the “10b5-1 Repurchase Plans”):

For the purposes of determining the Principal Balance and Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations in this definition, the Principal Balance of each Defaulted Obligation shall be excluded.

“Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate”: As of any Measurement Date, the number, expressed as a percentage and determined separately for each Class of Notes, obtained by summing the products obtained by multiplying the Principal Balance of each Collateral Obligation by its corresponding recovery rate as determined in accordance with Section 1 of Schedule 4 hereto, dividing such sum by the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations, and rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent.

“Workout Loan”: Any Loan or other loan asset received in connection with the workout or restructuring of a Collateral Obligation that requires the use of Interest Proceeds, Principal Proceeds and/or amounts designated for Permitted Use to acquire and that does not satisfy the Investment Criteria in connection with the acquisition thereof.

“Zero Coupon Bond”: Any debt security that by its terms (a) does not bear interest for all or part of the remaining period that it is outstanding, (b) provides for periodic payments of interest in Cash less frequently than semi-annually or (c) pays interest only at its stated maturity.

Section 1.2 Usage of Terms. With respect to all terms in this Indenture, the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; words importing any gender include the other genders; references to “writing” include printing, typing, lithography and other means of reproducing words in a visible form; references to agreements and other contractual instruments include all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto or any changes therein entered into in accordance with their respective terms and not prohibited by this Indenture; references to Persons include their permitted successors and assigns; and the term “including” means “including without limitation.”

Section 1.3 Assumptions as to Assets. In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Asset, or any payments on any other assets included in the Assets, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Assets and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Assets securing the Secured Notes shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Asset and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of such Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

(b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Obligations unless or until such payments are actually made.

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Asset (including Current Pay Obligations and DIP Collateral Obligations but excluding Defaulted Obligations, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero, except to the extent any payments have actually been received) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Asset (including the proceeds of the sale of such Asset received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during the Collection Period and not reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 12.2) that, if paid as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Account at the end of the Collection Period and (ii) any such amounts received by the Issuer in prior Collection Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Payment Date.

(d) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Collateral Obligation shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Notes or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.7(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of “Interest Coverage Ratio”, the expected interest on the Secured Notes and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then current interest rates applicable thereto.

(e) References in Section 11.1(a) to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments described herein, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

(f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Obligations will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Defaulted Obligation Balance.

(g) If a Collateral Obligation included in the Assets would be deemed a Current Pay Obligation but for the applicable percentage limitation in clause (x) of the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation”, then the Current Pay Obligations with the lowest Market Value (expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of such Current Pay Obligations as of the date of determination) shall be deemed Defaulted Obligations. Each such Defaulted Obligation will be treated as a Defaulted Obligation for

-72-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

all purposes until such time as the Aggregate Principal Balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Obligation, the applicable percentage of the Collateral Principal Amount.

(h) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such calculations, Defaulted Obligations will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Tests.

(i) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager by notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, any Eligible Investment representing Principal Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of a Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to have the characteristics of such Collateral Obligation as of the date of such sale or other disposition until reinvested in an additional Collateral Obligation. Such calculations shall be based upon the principal amount of such Collateral Obligation, except in the case of Defaulted Obligations and Credit Risk Obligations, in which case the calculations will be based upon the Principal Proceeds received on the disposition or sale of such Defaulted Obligation or Credit Risk Obligation.

(j) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.1%. All other calculations, unless otherwise set forth herein or the context otherwise requires, shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth if expressed as a percentage, and to the nearest one-hundredth if expressed otherwise.

(k) Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, the “principal balance” and “outstanding principal balance” of a Revolving Collateral Obligation or a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation shall include all unfunded commitments that have not been irrevocably reduced or withdrawn.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture shall be in Dollars.

(m) Any reference herein to an amount of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Administrator’s fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360 and shall be based on the aggregate face amount of the Assets at the beginning of the Collection Period.

(n) To the extent there is, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee, any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained herein or to the extent the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee reasonably determines that more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, the Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Administrator in writing, or the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee may request written direction from the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, in either case, and the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall

-73-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

follow such direction, and together with the Trustee, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

(o) For purposes of calculating the Collateral Quality Tests, DIP Collateral Obligations will be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loans.

(p) For purposes of calculating compliance with any tests under this Indenture, the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred.

(q) For all purposes where expressly used in this Indenture, the “principal balance” and “outstanding principal balance” shall exclude capitalized interest, if any.

(r) Any direction or Issuer Order required hereunder relating to the purchase, acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of Assets may be in the form of a trade ticket, confirmation of trade, instruction to post or to commit to the trade or similar instrument or document or other written instruction (including by email or other electronic communication) from the Collateral Manager on which the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator may rely.

(s) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, whenever herein the Collateral Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion,” “reasonable discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Issuer, Holders or any other Person. The intent of granting authority to act in its “discretion” to the Collateral Manager is that no other express consent of another party is required to be obtained by the Collateral Manager when acting pursuant to such grant of authority under this Indenture; provided that any action taken pursuant to such grant of discretion is consistent with the legal, contractual and fiduciary duties owed by the Collateral Manager.

(t) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any proceeds received in connection with any Workout Loan or Equity Security will be allocated to the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.

(u) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Equity Security or Workout Loan will be treated as an Equity Security, in each case, unless and until such Workout Loan or Equity Security, as applicable, meets the definition of “Collateral Obligation” on the date of acquisition or subsequently meets the definition of “Collateral Obligation” (as tested on such date). After such Workout Loan or Equity Security meets the definition of “Collateral Obligation,” it may be treated, at the election of the Collateral Manager, as a Collateral Obligation for all purposes of this Indenture.

(v) For purposes of calculating the S&P Minimum Floating Spread Test, the Fitch Minimum Floating Spread Test, the Minimum Weighted Average Coupon Test and the Interest Coverage Test, such calculations shall be on a net basis without giving effect to any tax withholdings on payments made by the applicable Obligor to the Issuer.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause the Notes to be registered and shall cause to be kept a register (the “Register”) at the office of the Trustee in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed registrar (the “Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to the Register maintained in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Registrar.

If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal or face amounts and numbers of such Notes. Upon written request at any time the Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser, the Placement Agent, any beneficial owner of a Note who provides the Trustee with a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C or any Holder of a Certificated Note a current list of Holders (and their holdings) as reflected in the Register, and at the Issuer’s expense, a list of participants in DTC holding positions in the Notes. In addition and upon written request, and at the expense of the requesting party, at any time unless prohibited by applicable law, the Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, any beneficial owner of a Note who provides the Trustee with a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C or any Holder of a Certificated Note (A) any information contained in any beneficial owners’ certifications, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, that the Trustee has received from beneficial owners of Notes and (B) any other forms or information submitted to a Trust Officer of the Trustee in connection with such beneficial owner’s interest, the Holder of such beneficial owner’s interest or other Persons being granted access to the Trustee’s website; provided, further, that the Trustee shall make no representation and give no warranties as to the accuracy or correctness of any information so provided.

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. At any time, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or the Placement Agent may request a list of Holders from the Trustee.

In addition, when permitted under this Indenture, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any certificate of ownership provided to the

-79-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Note (including a Beneficial Ownership Certificate or a certificate in the form of Exhibit C) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership as to the names and addresses of such beneficial owner and the Classes, principal amounts and CUSIP numbers of Notes beneficially owned thereby. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or the Placement Agent, the Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Trustee has received; provided, however, the Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to verify information with respect to such Beneficial Ownership Certificate or certificate in the form of Exhibit C and shall only be required to retain copies of such documents presented to it.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt (to the extent they evidence debt), and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer, tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Registrar or the Trustee shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and transferee.

(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause the Issuer to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

(c) No transfer of any Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) will be effective, and the Trustee will not recognize any such transfer, if after giving effect to such transfer 25% or more of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes would be held by Persons who have represented that they are Benefit Plan Investors. For purposes of these calculations and all other calculations required by this sub‑section, (A)

any Notes of the Issuer held by a Person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) who is a Controlling Person, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective affiliates (other than those interests held by a Benefit Plan Investor) shall be disregarded and not treated as Outstanding and (B) an “affiliate” of a Person shall include any Person, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Person, and “control” with respect to a Person other than an individual shall mean the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of such Person. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the information set forth in the transfer certificates received pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 and only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so held shall be so disregarded. In addition, no Global Subordinated Notes (other than such Global Notes purchased from the Issuer as part of the initial offering) may be held by or transferred to a Benefit Plan Investor or Controlling Person and each beneficial owner of a Global Subordinated Notes acquiring its interest in the Subordinated Notes in the initial offering shall provide to the Issuer a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-5 attached hereto.

(d) Each subsequent transferee of a Note, by acceptance of such Note or an interest in such Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to comply with Section 2.12.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the 1940 Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 to be provided to the Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

(f) For so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall ensure that beneficial ownership interests in the Issuer are acquired or held only by (1) Qualified Purchasers within the meaning of the 1940 Act and (2) investors who are not Benefit Plan Investors.

(g) Transfers of Global Secured Notes shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and this Section 2.5(g).

(i) Rule 144A Global Secured Note to Regulation S Global Secured Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Secured Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Secured Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Secured Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Secured Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Secured Note, such holder (provided that such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is a Qualified Purchaser not a U.S.

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

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

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.

-90-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

interest pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) for the period following such Interim Payment Date (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not for the period preceding such Interim Payment Date). Payment of interest on each Class of Notes (and payments of available Interest Proceeds to the Holders of the Certificates) will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, any payment of interest due on the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, as applicable, which is not available to be paid (“Deferred Interest”) in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, as applicable and (iii) the Stated Maturity of the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, as applicable. Deferred Interest on the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes shall be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (i) which is the Redemption Date with respect to the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, as applicable and (ii) which is the Stated Maturity of the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, as applicable. Regardless of whether any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes, to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity of, such applicable Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest may be deferred on the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes as long as any Priority Class is Outstanding. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Class A Notes or Class B Notes, or if no Class A Notes or Class B Notes are Outstanding, any Class C Notes, or, if there are no Class A Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes Outstanding, any Class D Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b) The principal of the Secured Notes of each Class matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Secured Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Secured Notes (and payments of Principal Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) may only occur in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Secured Notes, and distributions of Principal Proceeds to Holders of the Subordinated Notes, which are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Notes or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full.

(c) Principal payments on the Notes will be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Article IX.

(d) The Paying Agent shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a United States Tax Person or the appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a Person that is not a United States Tax Person) or other certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Trustee and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Note or the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements (including any cost-basis reporting obligations) under any such law or regulation and the delivery of any information required under FATCA to prevent the Issuer from being subject to withholding and to determine if payments by the Issuer are subject to withholding. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes with respect to the Notes (including any amounts deducted on account of FATCA). Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Paying Agent to determine the duties or liabilities of the Issuer or any other paying agent with respect to any tax certification or withholding requirements, or any tax certification or withholding requirements of any jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority outside the United States.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured Note and any payment with respect to the Subordinated Notes shall be made by the Trustee in Dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, by wire transfer, as directed by the Holder, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, and to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee and the Issuer shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Secured Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof) or any final payment is to be made on any Subordinated Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall

(f) Payments of principal to Holders of the Secured Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Secured Notes of such Class on such Record Date. Payments to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes from Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Subordinated Notes on such Record Date.

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Floating Rate Notes shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest accrued with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided, that if a redemption occurs on a Business Day that would not otherwise be a Payment Date, interest on such Fixed Rate Notes shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

(h) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture, all obligations of and any claims against the Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, shareholder, authorized Person, trustee or incorporator of the Issuer the Collateral Manager, the U.S. Retention Holder or their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes

or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity. The Subordinated Notes are not secured hereunder.

(j) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and principal (or other applicable amount) that were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall treat as the owner of each Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.9 Cancellation. (a) All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, gift, donation or other cause or event) except for payment as provided herein, for registration of transfer, exchange or redemption in accordance with Article IX hereof (in the case of a Special Redemption or a mandatory redemption, only to the extent that such Special Redemption or mandatory redemption results in payment in full of the applicable Class of Notes), or for replacement in connection with any Note deemed lost or stolen. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation as permitted by this Section 2.9 shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

(b) In addition to a cancellation pursuant to Section 2.9(a), the Issuer may, with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and with notice to Fitch and S&P, (x) apply any amount on deposit in the Supplemental Reserve Account to acquire any Class of Secured Notes (or beneficial interests therein) or (y) apply any amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount to acquire Secured Notes (or beneficial interests therein) in accordance with applicable law and in the following sequential order of priority: first, the Class A-1 Notes, until the Class A-1 Notes are retired in full; second, the Class A-2 Notes, until the Class A-2 Notes are retired in full; third, the Class B Notes, until the Class B Notes are retired in full; fourth, the Class C Notes until the Class C Notes are retired in full; and fifth, the Class D Notes until the Class D Notes are retired in full (any such Secured Notes, “Repurchased Notes”).

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such offer or such acquisition;

(iii) each Coverage Test (as calculated below) is satisfied both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such acquisition;

(v) the purchase price of such Repurchased Notes must be equal to or below par.

Any such Repurchased Notes will be delivered (at the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf)) to the Trustee for cancellation. All Repurchased Notes will be promptly canceled by the Trustee at the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) and may not be reissued or resold; provided that, solely in the case of Repurchased Notes acquired pursuant to clause (x) above, such Repurchased Notes will continue to be treated as Outstanding under this Indenture solely for purposes of calculating any Coverage Test and the Reinvestment Target Par Balance until all Secured Notes of the applicable Class and each Class that is senior in right of payment thereto in the Note Payment Sequence have been retired or redeemed, having an Aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount as of the date of repurchase, reduced proportionately with, and to the extent of, any payments of principal on Secured Notes of the same Class thereafter.

Section 2.10 DTC Ceases to be Depository. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owners thereof only if (A) such transfer complies with Section 2.5 of this Indenture and (B) either (x) (i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note or (ii) DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after such event or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transfer is requested by any beneficial owner of an interest in such Global Note.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owner thereof pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Corporate Trust Office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to the instructions of DTC) in authorized denominations. Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an

-95-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5, bear the legends set forth in the applicable Exhibit A and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such legends.

(c) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10, the Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(d) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in sub‑section (a) of this Section 2.10, the Issuer will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes.

If Certificated Notes are not so issued by the Issuer to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Notes as required by sub-section (a) of this Section 2.10, the Issuer expressly acknowledges that the beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holders of a Global Note would be entitled to pursue in accordance with Article V of this Indenture (but only to the extent of such beneficial owner’s interest in the Global Note) as if corresponding Certificated Notes had been issued; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided by such beneficial owners (including a certificate in the form of Exhibit C) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership.

Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of directions from DTC and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such direction as to the names of the beneficial owners in whose names such Certificated Notes shall be registered or as to delivery instructions for such Certificated Notes.

Section 2.11 Non-Permitted Holders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Note to (x) a U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (other than a U.S. person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor and is also a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser)), (y) any non-U.S. person that is not purchasing such beneficial interest in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S or that is not a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser) or (z) in the case of a Subordinated Note, any non-U.S. person (within the meaning of Regulation S) that is not a QIB/QP, shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

(b) If (i) any U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (other than a U.S. person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor and is also a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser)) shall become the holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any Note, (ii) any non-U.S. person that is not purchasing such beneficial interest in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S or that is not a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company

-96-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser) shall become the holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any Note or (iii) any non-U.S. person (within the meaning of Regulation S) that is not a QIB/QP shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in a Subordinated Note (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), the acquisition of Notes by such holder shall be null and void ab initio. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery that such person is a Non-Permitted Holder or upon notice from the Trustee to the Issuer (who agrees to notify the Issuer of such discovery if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such Person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes and sell such Notes to the highest such bidder; provided that the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and accounts, funds, clients or portfolios established and controlled by the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to bid in any such sale. However, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any such sale shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Subordinated Notes to a Person who has made an ERISA-related representation required by Section 2.5 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

(d) If any Person shall become the beneficial owner of a Note who has made or is deemed to have made a prohibited transaction, Benefit Plan Investor, Controlling Person, Similar Law or Other Plan Law representation that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading or whose beneficial ownership otherwise causes a violation of the 25% Limitation (any such Person a “Non-Permitted ERISA Holder”) XE “Non-Permitted ERISA Holder” , the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder or upon notice from the Trustee to the Issuer (who agrees to notify the Issuer of such discovery if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such

Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer all or any portion of the Notes held by such Person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes and sell such Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

(d) Each Holder of a Secured Note (or an interest therein) that is not a United States Tax Person represents, or by acquiring a Secured Note (or an interest therein) will be deemed to represent, that either (a) it is not (i) a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (ii) a “10 percent shareholder” with respect to the Issuer within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(D) of the Code, or (iii) a “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to the Issuer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; (b) it is a person that

Each transferor of a Subordinated Note (or an interest therein) acknowledges, or by acquiring a Subordinated Note (or an interest therein) will be deemed to acknowledge, that the failure to provide a Non-Foreign Status Certificate to the transferee may result in withholding on the amount realized on its disposition of a Subordinated Note.

(g) Each Holder of a Subordinated Note (or an interest therein) represents and agrees, or by acquiring a Subordinated Note (or an interest therein) will be deemed to represent and agree, that if classified as a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust, it will not acquire or own such Note unless (I) (A) except in the case of the U.S. Retention Holder for so long as it owns 100% of the Outstanding Subordinated Notes, none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in such person have or ever will have more than 40% of the value of its interest in such person attributable to the aggregate interest of such person in the combined value of the Subordinated Notes and any equity interests in the Issuer, and (B) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such person in any Subordinated Notes and any equity interests of the Issuer to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100-partner limitation of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) or (II) such person obtains written advice of Dechert LLP or an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer that such transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

(h) Each Holder of a Subordinated Note (or an interest therein) represents and agrees, or by acquiring a Subordinated Note or an interest therein will be deemed to represent and agree, that it will not participate in the creation or other transfer of any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined in whole or in part by reference to the Issuer (including the amount of distributions by the Issuer, the value of the Issuer’s assets or the results of the Issuer’s operations) or the Subordinated Notes.

(k) Each Holder of a Secured Note (or an interest therein) that is not a United States Tax Person represents and agrees, or by acquiring a Secured Note (or an interest therein) will be deemed to represent and agree, that it is not and will not become a member of an “expanded group” (within the meaning of the regulations issued under section 385 of the Code) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if (i) such domestic corporation directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts) owns any equity interests in the Issuer and (ii) (A) the Issuer is a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the regulations issued under section 385 of the Code) with respect to such expanded group or (B) the Issuer is an entity disregarded as separate from either such domestic corporation or an entity that is treated as a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the regulations issued under section 385 of the Code) with respect to such expanded group.

(B) been waived as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such rescission to the Rating Agencies.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the Secured Notes will not be subject to acceleration by the Trustee solely as a result of the failure to pay any amount due on the Secured Notes that are not of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if a default shall occur in respect of the payment of any principal of or interest when due and payable on any Secured Note, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holder of such Secured Note, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Secured Note for principal and interest with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Notes and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no such direction is received by the Trustee) or as the Trustee may be directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement herein or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Notes under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its respective property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Secured Notes, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Secured Note shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration

-115-

or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Secured Notes upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders of Secured Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or to the creditors or property of the Issuer;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Secured Notes upon the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of Secured Notes to make payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders of Secured Notes to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holders of Secured Notes, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Notes or any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holders of Secured Notes, as applicable, in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Secured Notes (and any such Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Secured Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.4 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Secured Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer agrees that the Trustee may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Secured Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Assets any Monies adjudged due;

(ii) sell or cause the sale of all or a portion of the Assets or rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof; provided that the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such sale of Assets to the Rating Agencies;

(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Assets;

(iv) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of the Secured Notes hereunder (including exercising all rights of the Trustee under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and

(v) exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity;

provided that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 except according to the provisions of Section 5.5(a).

The Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense) in structuring and distributing securities similar to the Secured Notes, which may be the Placement Agent or the Initial Purchaser, as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Secured Notes which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing the Trustee may, and at the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

-117-

(c) Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability.

Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, the receipt of the Trustee, or of the Officer making a sale under judicial Proceedings, shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase Money, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, shall bind the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Secured Parties or the Noteholders may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if longer, any applicable preference period and one day) after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceedings, or other Proceedings under U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceeding.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the right of the Collateral Manager to direct the Trustee to sell Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities in strict compliance with Section 12.1), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Secured Notes intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i) the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Secured Notes for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest or any accrued and unpaid interest on such Deferred Interest), and all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal on such Secured Notes (including amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the

-118-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

Administrative Expense Cap) and any due and unpaid Collateral Management Fee) and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination;

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) due to failure to pay interest on the Class A-1 Notes or the Class A-2 Notes (unless such default is caused solely by the application of Section 11.1(a)(iii) following acceleration), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A-1 Notes (so long as the Class A-1 Notes are Outstanding) or the Class A-2 Notes (if the Class A-1 Notes are no longer Outstanding) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); provided that no Class of Notes (other than the Class A Notes) shall have any rights to direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets pursuant to this clause (ii), regardless of whether any such Class subsequently becomes the Controlling Class;

(iii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(g), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A-1 Notes direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); provided that no Class of Secured Notes (other than the Class A-1 Notes) shall have any rights to direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets pursuant to this clause (iii), regardless of whether any such Class subsequently becomes the Controlling Class; or

(iv) in the case of each other Event of Default, the Holders of at least a Supermajority of each Class of Secured Notes (in each case, voting separately by Class) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Secured Notes if the conditions set forth in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Assets securing the Secured Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, bid prices with respect to each Asset from two nationally recognized dealers (as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing) at the time making a market in such Assets and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such Asset. In the event that the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect to each Asset from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such Assets, the Trustee shall compute the anticipated proceeds of the sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for each such Asset. In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating

-119-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense).

(d) The Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders, S&P and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after such determination is made. The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Trustee retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

(e) Prior to the sale of any Assets in connection with Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall offer the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof the right to purchase such Asset at a price equal to the highest bid price received by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.5(c) (or if only one bid price is received, such bid price). The Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof shall have the right to bid on any Assets sold in any sale pursuant to this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Secured Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Secured Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof.

Section 5.7 Application of Money Collected. Any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article V and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied, subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1(a)(iii), at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee. Upon the final distribution of all proceeds of any liquidation effected hereunder, the provisions of Section 4.1(b) shall be deemed satisfied for the purposes of discharging this Indenture pursuant to Article IV. Furthermore, upon such liquidation and final distribution, the Subordinated Notes shall be deemed to be redeemed and paid in full, even if amounts paid pursuant to Section 11.1(a) are insufficient to pay the Subordinated Notes in full as set forth in Section 4.4(b).

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default;

(b) the Holders or beneficial owners of not less than a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in

-120-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holder or Holders have provided the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c) the Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of such indemnity, has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments.

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.8 from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Holders with the greatest percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. If all such groups represent the same percentage, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Holders of Secured Notes to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Section 2.7(i), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of any Secured Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Note, as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, as the case may be, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Holders of Secured Notes ranking junior to Notes still Outstanding shall have no right to institute Proceedings or, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 5.8(b), to request the Trustee to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment until such time as no Secured Note ranking senior to such Secured Note remains Outstanding, which right shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, and shall not be impaired without the consent of any such Holder.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholder shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

-121-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of Secured Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Secured Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of the Secured Notes.

Section 5.13 Control by Majority of Controlling Class. A Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided that subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or expense (unless the Trustee has received the indemnity as set forth in (c) below);

(c) the Trustee shall have been provided with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; and

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Notes representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Notes specified in Section 5.4 and/or Section 5.5.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Article V, a Majority of the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of any Secured Note (which may be waived only with the consent of the Holder of such Secured Note);

(b) in the payment of interest on any Secured Note (which may be waived only with the consent of the Holder of such Secured Note);

-122-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 8.2 cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note materially and adversely affected thereby (which may be waived only with the consent of each such Holder); or

(d) in respect of a representation contained in Section 7.20 (which may be waived only by a Majority of the Controlling Class if the Global Rating Agency Condition is satisfied).

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies, the Collateral Manager and each Holder. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any valuation, appraisement, redemption or marshalling law or rights, in each case wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants set forth in, the performance of, or any remedies under this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law or rights, and covenant that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted or rights created.

Section 5.17 Sale of Assets. (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired (subject to Section 5.5(e) in the case of sales pursuant to Section 5.5) until the entire Assets shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Assets shall have been paid. The Trustee may upon notice to the Noteholders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time

-123-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its attorneys and agents) incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 or other applicable terms hereof.

(b) The Trustee and the Collateral Manager (and/or any of its affiliates) may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets in connection with a public Sale thereof, and may pay all or part of the purchase price by crediting against amounts owing on the Secured Notes in the case of the Assets or other amounts secured by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its attorneys and agents) incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof or other applicable terms hereof. The Secured Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes. The Trustee may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law in accordance with this Indenture.

(c) If any portion of the Assets consists of securities issued without registration under the Securities Act (“Unregistered Securities”), the Trustee may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no action position from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other relevant federal or State regulatory authorities, regarding the legality of a public or private Sale of such Unregistered Securities.

(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, without recourse, representation or warranty. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies.

(e) The Trustee shall provide notice to the Holders of the Notes as soon as reasonably practicable of any public Sale, and the Holders of the Notes and the Collateral Manager (and each of their Affiliates) shall be permitted to participate in any such public Sale to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent such Holders or the Collateral Manager (or their Affiliates), as applicable, meet any applicable eligibility requirements with respect to such Sale.

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any

ARTICLE VI

The Trustee

Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to the Trustee:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer’s certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders.

(b) In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class, or such other percentage as permitted by this Indenture, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

If such organization or entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.8, the combined capital and surplus of such organization or entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent published report of condition. Subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence, if at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it shall resign in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time upon 30 days written notice by Act of a Majority of each Class of Notes or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer.

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any reason (other than resignation), the Issuer, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee may be appointed by a Majority of the Controlling Class by written instrument delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee. The successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede any successor Trustee proposed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the Trustee or any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Collateral Manager, to the Rating Agencies and to the Holders of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Register.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.8 and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or a Majority of any Class of Secured Notes or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and Money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

In case any of the Notes has been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.12 Co-Trustees.

If the Trustee shall not have received a payment with respect to any Asset on its Due Date, (a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing or electronically and (b) unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if any) after such notice (x) such payment shall have been received by the Trustee or (y) the Issuer, in its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(a)), shall have made provision for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Trustee shall, not later than the Business Day immediately following the last day of such period and in any case upon request by the Collateral Manager, request the issuer of such Asset, the trustee

-136-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

under the related Underlying Instrument or a paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment not later than three Business Days after the date of such request. If such payment is not made within such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(c), shall take such reasonable action as the Collateral Manager shall direct. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. If the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of an Asset and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement or under this Indenture, such release and/or substitution shall be subject to Section 10.8 and Article XII of this Indenture, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Asset or any additional Collateral Obligation received after the Due Date thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets.

Section 6.14 Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall, and if the Trustee so chooses the Trustee may, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Trustee.

Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor Person.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

Unless the Authenticating Agent is also the same entity as the Trustee, the Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto as an Administrative Expense. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 6.15 Withholding. If any withholding tax (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any withholding required on account of FATCA) is imposed by applicable law on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) under the Notes or if any tax is imposed on a payment to the Issuer on account of a failure of a Holder of a Note or owner of any interest therein to comply with (i) FATCA or (ii) any requirements to provide documentation to avoid withholding,

-137-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the relevant Holder of a Note or owner of any interest therein, and each such Holder and owner shall indemnify the Issuer for any withholding that would not have been imposed if the Holder or owner had complied with such obligations. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any such tax that is legally owed or required to be withheld by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate Proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such Proceedings) or may be withheld because of a failure by a Holder to provide any information required under FATCA or otherwise and to timely remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Note shall be treated as Cash distributed to the relevant Holder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee. If there is a reasonable possibility that withholding is required by applicable law with respect to a distribution, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.15. If any Holder or beneficial owner wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Person in providing readily available information so long as such Person agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Except as may be required under FATCA, nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Notes.

Section 6.16 Representative for Holders of the Secured Notes Only; Agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. With respect to the security interest created hereunder, the delivery of any item of Asset to the Trustee is to the Trustee as representative of the Holders of the Secured Notes and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Trustee of any Asset, and the endorsement to or registration in the name of the Trustee of any Asset (including without limitation as entitlement holder of the Custodial Account) are all undertaken by the Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Holders of Secured Notes, and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes.

The Issuer shall at all times maintain a duplicate copy of the Register at the Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Holders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at, notices and demands may be served on the Issuer, and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office, and the Issuer hereby appoint the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 7.3 Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee or a Paying Agent with respect to payments on the Notes.

When the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent that is not also the Registrar, they shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder.

Whenever the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, they shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date and any Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any Monies deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with Article XI.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents (other than a successor Trustee who shall automatically become the Paying Agent hereunder) shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Trustee; provided that so long as the Notes of any Class are rated by the Rating Agencies, with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term debt rating of “BBB-” or higher by S&P or a short-term debt rating of “A‑3” by S&P or (ii) the Global Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. If such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “A” or higher by S&P or a short-term debt rating of “A‑1” by S&P, the Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state banking authorities. The Issuer shall cause any Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

-140-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

(a) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes for which it acts as Paying Agent on each Payment Date and any Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable Distribution Report to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(b) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(d) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer in the making of any payment required to be made; and

(e) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such Money.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any Money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for any payment on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust Money shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in Monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

Section 7.4 Existence of the Issuer. (a) The Issuer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, or

The Issuer shall not take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries; (B) (x) the Issuer shall not (1) except as contemplated by the Collateral Management Agreement or the LLC Agreement, engage in any transaction with any shareholder that would constitute a conflict of interest or (2) pay dividends other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the LLC Agreement and (y) the Issuer shall (1) maintain books and records separate from any other Person, (2) maintain its accounts separate from those of any other Person, (3) not commingle its assets with those of any other Person, (4) conduct its own business in its own name, (5) maintain separate financial statements, (6) pay its own liabilities out of its own funds, (7) maintain an arm’s length relationship with its Affiliates, (8) use separate stationery, invoices and checks, (9) hold itself out as a separate Person, (10) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity and (11) have at least one trustee that is Independent of the Collateral Manager.

The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Holders of the Secured Notes hereunder and to:

The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file and hereby authorizes the filing of any Financing Statement, continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.5. Such designation shall not impose upon the Trustee, or release or diminish, the Issuer’s and the Collateral Manager’s obligations under this Section 7.5. The Issuer further authorizes and shall cause the Issuer’s United States counsel to file without the Issuer’s signature a Financing Statement that names the Issuer as debtor and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as secured party and that describes “all personal property of the Debtor now owned or hereafter acquired” as the Assets in which the Trustee has a Grant.

(b) The Trustee shall not, except in accordance with Section 5.5 or Section 10.8(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, permit the removal of any portion of the Assets or transfer any such Assets from the Account to which it is credited, or cause or permit any change in the Delivery made pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to any Assets, if, after giving effect thereto, the jurisdiction governing the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in such Assets is different from the jurisdiction governing the perfection at the time of delivery of the most recent Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 7.6 unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property and the priority thereof will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

Within the six-month period preceding the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (and every five years thereafter), the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel either (i) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken (including without limitation with respect to the filing of any Financing Statements and continuation statements) as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or (ii) describing the filing of any Financing Statements and continuation statements that shall, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture.

Section 7.11 Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in accordance with Section 7.10 in which the Merging Entity is not the surviving entity, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Merging Entity under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Issuer herein.

Section 7.13 [Reserved].

Section 7.14 Annual Rating Review. (a) So long as any of the Secured Notes of any Class remain Outstanding, on or before October 30th in each year commencing in 2025, the Issuer shall obtain and pay for an annual review of the rating of each such Class of Secured Notes from the Rating Agencies. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Collateral Manager in writing (and the Trustee shall promptly provide the Holders with a copy of such notice) if at any time the then-current rating of any such Class of Secured Notes has been, or is known will be, changed or withdrawn.

(b) The Issuer shall obtain and pay for an annual review of any (i) DIP Collateral Obligation, (ii) any Collateral Obligation which has an S&P Rating derived as set forth in clause (c)(ii) of the definition of the term “S&P Rating” and (iii) any Collateral Obligation which has a Fitch Rating derived as set forth in clause (e) of the definition of the term “Fitch Rating.” The Issuer shall provide notice to Fitch of any Specified Amendments with respect to Collateral Obligations that are subject to a Fitch credit rating and shall provide notice to S&P of any Specified Amendments with respect to Collateral Obligations that are subject to an S&P credit rating.

Section 7.16 Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Secured Notes remain Outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period (or, in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, each portion thereof) in accordance with the definition of “Benchmark” (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer or the Collateral

-148-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, as described in sub‑section (b), in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been duly appointed.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent does hereby agree) that, on each Interest Determination Date, as soon as possible but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Interest Rate applicable to each Class of Secured Notes during the related Interest Accrual Period and the Note Interest Amount (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) payable on the related Payment Date in respect of such Class of Secured Notes in respect of the related Interest Accrual Period. At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Issuer the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Interest Rate or Note Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the determination (other than the calculation of such rate once such applicable rate has been selected), selection or verification of a Benchmark or the Fallback Rate or any Base Rate Modifier, or whether the conditions for the designation of any such rate or adjustment have been satisfied. The Trustee and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Collateral Manager’s designation of any such rate and shall have no liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties hereunder as a result of the unavailability of a base rate as described herein and shall have no obligation to calculate any Fallback Rate to the extent it is incapable of implementing operationally.

Section 7.17 Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Issuer shall treat itself as either (1) disregarded as an entity separate from the sole equity owner or (2) a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and shall not make any election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) Upon the Issuer’s receipt of a request of a Holder of a Secured Note or written request of a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Secured Note (including, in each case, Holders and beneficial owners of any Additional Notes issued hereunder) for the information described in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Note, the Issuer will cause its Independent certified public accountants to provide promptly to the Trustee and such

-149-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

requesting Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such a Note all of such information. Any additional issuance of Notes shall be accomplished in a manner that will allow the Independent certified public accountants of the Issuer to accurately calculate original issue discount income to holders of the Additional Notes. Upon request by the Independent accountants, the Trustee shall provide to the Independent accountants information reasonably available to it as reasonably requested by the Independent accountants to comply with this Section 7.17, including information contained in the Register.

(c) The Issuer shall file, or cause to be filed, any tax returns, including information tax returns, required by any governmental authority, and shall provide to each Holder of a Subordinated Note, any information that such Holder reasonably requests in order for such Holder to (i) comply with its federal, state, or local tax return filing and information reporting obligations, or (ii) comply with filing requirements that arise as a result of the Issuer being classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(d) If so requested by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, and if such Holders agree to reimburse the Issuer for all costs associated with such election, the Issuer is authorized to make (or hire accountants to make) an election under Section 754 of the Code.

(e) If the Issuer has purchased an interest and the Issuer is aware that such interest is a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Section 6011 of the Code, and a Holder of a Subordinated Note (or any Note that is required to be treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) requests in writing information about any such transactions in which the Issuer is an investor, the Issuer shall provide, or cause its Independent accountants to provide, such information it has reasonably available that is required to be obtained by such Holder under the Code as soon as practicable after such request.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Placement Agent, the Initial Purchaser, the U.S. Retention Holder, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes and each employee, representative or other agent of those Persons, may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, that are provided to those Persons. This authorization to disclose the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure does not permit disclosure of information identifying the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Placement Agent, the Initial Purchaser, the U.S. Retention Holder or any other party to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, the Offering or the pricing (except to the extent such information is relevant to U.S. tax structure or tax treatment of such transactions).

(g) If required to prevent the withholding and imposition of United States income tax on payments made to the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered the appropriate IRS Form(s) W-8 or W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form(s) certifying as to the United States Tax Person status of the Issuer (or its sole owner or beneficiaries), together with any other tax certifications or agreements, to each issuer or

Obligor of or counterparty with respect to an Asset at the time such Asset is purchased or entered into by the Issuer and thereafter prior to the obsolescence or expiration of such form.

(i)

(i) The Partnership Representative shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained on the books and records of the Issuer an individual capital account for each Partner in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

(ii) For capital account purposes, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner such that, if the Issuer were dissolved, its affairs wound up, its assets sold for their respective "book values" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)) and its liabilities satisfied in full (except that nonrecourse liabilities with respect to an asset shall be satisfied only to the extent that such nonrecourse liabilities do not exceed the book value of such asset) and its assets distributed to the Partners in accordance with their respective capital account balances immediately after making such allocation, such distributions would, as nearly as possible, be equal to the distributions that would be made pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture. Any special allocations provided for in Section 7.17(i)(iv)-(vii) shall be taken into account for capital account purposes. For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for capital account purposes under this Section 7.17(i), except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

(iii) The provisions of this Section 7.17(i) relating to the maintenance of capital accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. The Partnership Representative shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Section 7.17(i) if necessary in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or the appropriate provisions of Treasury Regulations.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Section 7.17(i), no item of deduction or loss shall be allocated to a Partner to the extent the allocation would cause a negative balance in the Partner's capital account (after taking into account the adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) that exceeds the amount that such Partner would be required to reimburse the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture or under applicable law. In the event some but not all of the Partners would have such excess capital account deficits as a consequence of such an allocation of loss or deduction, the limitation set forth in this Section 7.17(i)(iv) shall be applied on a Partner-by-Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum

-151-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

permissible deduction or loss to each such Partner under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). In the event any loss or deduction is specially allocated to a Partner pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, an equal amount of income of the Issuer shall be specially allocated to such Partner prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.17(i)(ii).

(v) In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), items of Issuer income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible any deficit balance in its capital account in excess of that permitted under Section 7.17(i)(iv) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. Any special allocations of items of income or gain pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)(v) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)(v) so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)(v) shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.17(i) if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.

(vi) In the event the Issuer incurs any nonrecourse liabilities, income and gain shall be allocated in accordance with the "minimum gain chargeback" provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv) and 1.704-2.

(vii) The capital accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect the fair market value of Issuer property whenever a Partnership Interest is relinquished to the Issuer, whenever an additional Person becomes a Partner as permitted under this Indenture, upon any termination of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code, and when the Issuer is liquidated as permitted under this Indenture, and shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) in the case of a distribution of any property (other than cash).

(h) The Collateral Manager shall be the "partnership representative" for purposes of Section 6223 of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the "Partnership Representative") (or, if not eligible to be the Partnership Representative, as agent-in-fact of the Partnership Representative), and may designate the Partnership Representative from time to time from among any willing Holder of Subordinated Notes (including itself and any of its Affiliates) with respect to any taxable year of the Issuer during which the Initial Subordinated Noteholder or any of its Affiliates holds or has held any Subordinated Notes (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative); provided, that during any other period or if the Initial Subordinated Noteholder declines to so designate a Partnership Representative, the Issuer (after consultation with the Collateral Manager) shall designate the Partnership Representative from among any Holder of Subordinated Notes (excluding the Initial Subordinated Noteholder and its Affiliates) (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the

payable by the Issuer with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (ii) if reasonably requested by a Partner, provide to such Partner available information allowing such Partner to file an amended U.S. federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, together with any guidance issued thereunder or successor provisions, to the extent that such amended return and payment of any related U.S. federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by the Issuer with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment (after taking into account any modifications described in clause (i)). Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with any state or local income tax audit governed by the Partnership Tax Audit Rules. Any U.S. federal income taxes (and any related interest and penalties) paid by the Issuer (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from an adjustment under Partnership Tax Audit Rules) may be allocated in the reasonable discretion of the Issuer to those Partners to whom such amounts are specifically attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise), as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Issuer. The Issuer shall not elect or cause any election to be made to apply the Partnership Tax Audit Rules to the Issuer prior to the generally applicable effective date of such legislation, unless the Issuer, in good faith, reasonably determines that such an election would be in the best interests of the Issuer and all Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.18 S&P Recovery Rate.

(a) Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate. The Collateral Manager may, at any time after the Closing Date upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to S&P, the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, elect to utilize the S&P CDO Monitor in determining compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test (the effective date specified by the Collateral Manager for such election, the “S&P CDO Monitor Election Date”); provided that, following an S&P CDO Formula Election Date, an S&P CDO Monitor Election Date may only occur once. On or prior to the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date, the Collateral Manager shall elect the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate that shall apply on and after such date to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Minimum Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate Test, and the Collateral Manager will so notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time during any S&P CDO Monitor Election Period on written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and S&P, the Collateral Manager may elect a different Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided, that if (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations but the Collateral Obligations would not be in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change, then such changed case shall not apply or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations and would not be in compliance with any other Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case, the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations shall be the lowest Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate in Section 2 of Schedule 4. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate in the manner set forth above, the Weighted

-154-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

Average S&P Recovery Rate chosen as of the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date shall continue to apply.

Section 7.19 Effective Date; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. (a) The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, on or before the Effective Date, Collateral Obligations (i) such that the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied and (ii) that satisfy, as of the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Tests and the Coverage Tests.

(b) During the period from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date, the Issuer will use the following funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in the following order: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire such Collateral Obligations that will satisfy, on the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Tests and each Overcollateralization Ratio Test.

(c) Within 30 calendar days after the Effective Date (but in any event, prior to the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date), the Issuer shall provide, or (at the Issuer’s expense) cause the Collateral Manager to provide, the following documents:

(i) to the Rating Agency (via email to [email protected]), a report identifying Collateral Obligations and a Microsoft Excel file (“Excel Default Model Input File”) that provides all of the inputs required to determine whether the S&P CDO Monitor Test has been satisfied and the Collateral Manager shall provide a Microsoft Excel file including, at a minimum, the following data with respect to each Collateral Obligation: LoanX identification number, CUSIP number (if any), name of Obligor, coupon, spread (if applicable), Benchmark floor (if any), legal final maturity date, average life, outstanding principal balance, Principal Balance, identification as a Cov-Lite Loan or otherwise, identification as a First-Lien Last-Out Loan or otherwise, settlement date, the purchase price with respect to any Collateral Obligation the purchase of which has not settled, S&P Industry Classification and S&P Recovery Rate, and requesting that S&P reaffirm its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes;

(ii) to the Trustee and the Rating Agency (via email to [email protected]) a report, prepared by the Collateral Administrator pursuant to the Collateral Administration Agreement (the “Effective Date Report”), (A) setting forth the issuer, principal balance, coupon/spread, Stated Maturity, S&P Rating and country of Domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date and (B) calculating as of the Effective Date the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of (1) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, (2) the Collateral Quality Tests (excluding the

-155-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

S&P CDO Monitor Test), (3) the Concentration Limitations and (4) the Target Initial Par Condition;

(iii) to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager, (A) an Accountants’ Report comparing, as of the Effective Date, the issuer, Principal Balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, S&P Rating and country of Domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein (such report, the “Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report”) and (B) an Accountants’ Report performing agreed upon procedures as of the Effective Date including recalculating and comparing the following items in the Effective Date Report: (1) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, the Collateral Quality Tests (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test) and the Concentration Limitations, and (2) whether the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied (such report, the “Accountants’ Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report” and together with the Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report, the “Accountants’ Effective Date AUP Reports”), with both Accountants’ Effective Date AUP Reports containing a statement specifying the procedures undertaken by them to review data and computations relating to such Accountants’ Effective Date AUP Reports; and

(iv) to the Trustee and the Rating Agency (via email to [email protected]) an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer (the “Effective Date Certificate”) certifying as to the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of, (1) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, (2) the Collateral Quality Tests (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test), (3) the Concentration Limitations, and (4) the Target Initial Par Condition, in each case, as of the Effective Date.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Date Certificate and the Effective Date Report shall not include or refer to the Accountants’ Effective Date AUP Reports. In accordance with SEC Release No. 34-72936, Form 15-E, only in its complete and unedited form which includes the Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report as an attachment, will be provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer and Information Agent who will forward such Form 15-E for posting on the Issuer’s Website. Copies of the Accountants’ Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report or any other agreed upon procedures report provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer will not be provided to any other party including the Rating Agency or posted on the Issuer’s Website (other than as provided in any access letter between such Person and the accountants).

(e) If, by the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date, (1) S&P has not provided written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes or (2) there has occurred no S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation as described below (an “S&P Rating Confirmation Failure”), then the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount (and with such funds the Issuer shall purchase additional Collateral Obligations) in an amount sufficient to obtain from S&P a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes (provided that the amount of such transfer would not result in default in the payment of interest with respect

-156-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

to the Class A Notes); provided that, in the alternative, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may take such other action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to obtain from S&P a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes.

(f) If S&P has not provided written confirmation of its initial ratings of the Secured Notes within 30 calendar days after the Effective Date and (w) the Issuer causes the Collateral Manager to provide to S&P the Effective Date Report and the Effective Date Report confirms satisfaction of the S&P CDO Monitor Test as of the Effective Date, (x) the Collateral Manager certifies to S&P (which confirmation may be in the form of an email) that as of the Effective Date the S&P CDO Monitor Test is satisfied (testing as though an S&P CDO Formula Election Period were in effect and taking into account the S&P CDO Monitor Non-Model Adjustments described below) and (y) the Collateral Manager provides to S&P an electronic copy of the Current Portfolio used to generate the passing test result, then a written confirmation from S&P of its initial ratings of the Secured Notes will be deemed to have been provided (an “S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation”); provided that, for purposes of determining compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test in connection with such Effective Date Report, the Aggregate Funded Spread will be calculated without giving effect to the proviso to clause (a) of the definition of “Aggregate Funded Spread” and by assuming that any Collateral Obligation subject to a Benchmark floor bears interest at a rate equal to the stated interest rate spread over the Benchmark-based index for such Collateral Obligation (the “S&P CDO Monitor Non-Model Adjustments”).

(g) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.19 will not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d) hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith. Of the proceeds of the issuance of the Notes which are not applied to pay for the purchase of Collateral Obligations purchased by the Issuer on or before the Closing Date (including, without limitation, repayment of any amounts borrowed by the Issuer in connection with the purchase of Collateral Obligations prior to the Closing Date) or to pay other applicable fees and expenses, funds will be deposited in the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date in the amounts specified in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer. At the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date as described in clause (b) above. If on the Effective Date, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in Section 10.3(c).

Section 7.20 Representations Relating to Security Interests in the Assets. (a) The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Indenture and be deemed to be repeated on each date on which an Asset is Granted to the Trustee hereunder):

(i) The Issuer owns each Asset free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, other than such as are created under, or permitted by, this Indenture and any other Permitted Liens.

(ii) Other than the security interest Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, except as permitted by this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Assets. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any Financing Statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Assets other than any Financing Statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated; the Issuer is not aware of any judgment, PBGC liens or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

(iii) All Assets constitute Cash, accounts (as defined in Section 9‑102(a)(2) of the UCC), Instruments, general intangibles (as defined in Section 9‑102(a)(42) of the UCC), uncertificated securities (as defined in Section 8‑102(a)(18) of the UCC), Certificated Securities or security entitlements to financial assets resulting from the crediting of financial assets to a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC).

The Issuer and the Trustee may, pursuant to clause (xii) of Section 8.1(a) and as described in Section 9.2, without regard to the provisions of this Section 8.2, enter into a supplemental indenture to reflect the terms of a Refinancing upon a redemption of the Secured Notes in whole but not in part, including to make any supplements or amendments to this Indenture that would otherwise be subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, with the consent of the Collateral Manager and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, if the Subordinated Notes are materially and adversely affected thereby.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any reliance made in good faith upon such an Opinion of Counsel. Such determination shall, in each case, be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders and beneficial owners.

(f) At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Notes shall remain Outstanding, not later than 10 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.1 and not later than 7 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.2, the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Noteholders a copy of such proposed supplemental indenture. At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Class of Secured Notes shall remain Outstanding and such Class is rated by any Rating Agency, the Trustee shall provide to such Rating Agency a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least 10 Business Days or 7 Business Days, as applicable, prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee (unless such period is waived by such Rating Agency) and a copy of the executed supplemental indenture after its execution.

If, prior to delivery by the Trustee of such supplemental indenture as revised, any Holder has provided its written consent to the supplemental indenture as initially distributed, such Holder will be deemed to have consented in writing to the supplemental indenture as revised unless such Holder has provided written notice of its withdrawal of such consent to the Trustee and the Issuer not later than one Business Day prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture at the cost of the Issuer. Any failure of the Trustee to publish or deliver such notices, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. In the case of a supplemental indenture to be entered into pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xii)(A), the foregoing notice periods shall not apply and a copy of the proposed supplemental indenture shall be included in the notice of Optional Redemption given to each holder of Secured Notes under Section 9.2; and, upon execution of the supplemental indenture, at the cost of the Issuer, a copy thereof shall be delivered to the Rating Agencies and each Holder of Notes.

(h) At any time during or after the Reinvestment Period, at the written direction (with a copy of such direction to be provided by the Issuer to the Rating Agencies) of any Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit E (solely for Contributions of Cash or Eligible Investments), but without any amendment to this Indenture, satisfaction of the Global Rating Agency Condition or the consent of any other holder of Notes (i) such Holder may make a Contribution of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations or (ii) solely with respect to the Holders of Certificated Subordinated Notes, such Holder may direct the Issuer to designate (prior to the Determination Date) (and the Issuer shall direct the Trustee) that all or a specified portion of amounts that would otherwise be distributed on such Payment Date to such Holder be retained by the Trustee in the Supplemental Reserve Account as a Contribution and be available for reinvestment in additional Collateral Obligations and other Permitted Uses as directed by the applicable Contributor, so long as the Collateral Manager consents to such Permitted Use(s) (or, if no direction is given by the Contributor, at the Collateral Manager’s reasonable discretion).

Section 8.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VIII, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 8.5 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered as part of a transfer, exchange or replacement pursuant to Article II of Notes originally issued hereunder after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article VIII may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a notice in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Issuer to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

Section 9.2 Optional Redemption. (a) The Secured Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer at the written direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes (with the consent of the Collateral Manager) as follows: (i) the Secured Notes shall be redeemed in whole in order of seniority (with respect to all Classes of Secured Notes) but not in part on any Business Day after the end of the Non-Call Period from Sale Proceeds, Contributions of Cash and/or Refinancing Proceeds or (ii) the Secured Notes shall be redeemed in part by Class from Refinancing Proceeds, Contributions of Cash and/or Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds on any Business Day after the end of the Non-Call Period as long as the Class of Secured Notes to be redeemed represents not less than the entire Class of such Secured Notes. In connection with any such redemption, the Secured Notes shall be redeemed at the applicable Redemption Prices and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes must provide the above described written direction (and the Collateral Manager the above described consent in the case of a Refinancing) to the Issuer not later than 30 days (or such shorter period of time as the Collateral Manager finds reasonably acceptable) prior to the Business Day on which such redemption is to be made; provided that all Secured Notes to be redeemed must be redeemed simultaneously.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of any redemption of Secured Notes in whole pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion shall direct the sale (and the manner thereof) of all or part of the Collateral Obligations and other Assets such that the proceeds from such sale and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account and the Payment Account will be at least sufficient to pay the Redemption Prices of the Secured Notes to be redeemed and to pay all Administrative Expenses (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap) and Aggregate Collateral Management Fees due and payable under the Priority of Payments. If such proceeds of such sale and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account and the Payment Account would not be sufficient to redeem all Secured Notes and to pay such fees and expenses, the Secured Notes may not be redeemed. The Collateral Manager, in its sole discretion, may affect the sale of all or any part of the Collateral Obligations or other Assets through the direct sale of such Collateral Obligations or other Assets or by participation or other arrangement.

(c) The Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, on any Business Day on or after the redemption or repayment in full of the Secured Notes, at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes.

Amounts on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 10.6 and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds.

The Bank, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Trustee, shall have no liability to the Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Accounts pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Accounts absent the Trustee having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 10.6 Reinvestment of Funds in Accounts; Reports by Trustee. (a) By Issuer Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Ramp-Up Account, the Revolver Funding Account, the Expense Reserve Account and the Supplemental Reserve Account, as so directed in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If at any time, the Issuer shall not have given such investment directions to the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in such accounts in the Standby Directed Investment. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Principal Collection Subaccount upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Principal Collection Subaccount. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such accounts which results from any loss relating to any such investment; provided that nothing herein shall relieve the Bank of (i) its obligations or liabilities under any security or obligation issued by the Bank or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) liability for any loss resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of the Bank or any Affiliate thereof.

(b) The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if any Account or any funds on deposit in any Account, or otherwise to the credit of an Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.

(c) The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Issuer, the Rating Agencies and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the Issuer, the Rating Agencies or the Collateral Manager may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Assets, the Accounts and the other Assets and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder and required to be provided by Section 10.7 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement or the Issuer’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Collateral Manager.

-196-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

each of the Accounts, it will cause each Securities Intermediary establishing such Accounts to enter into a securities account control agreement and, if the Securities Intermediary is the Bank, shall cause the Bank to comply with the provisions of such securities account control agreement, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the transfer of the Accounts to an institution other than the Bank, including any agent or sub-custodian of the Bank, provided that such institution satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 10.1 hereof. The Trustee shall have the right to open such subaccounts of any such account as it deems necessary or appropriate for convenience of administration.

Section 10.12 Section 3(c)(7) Procedures. For so long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall do the following:

(a) Each Monthly Report sent or caused to be sent by the Issuer to the Noteholders will include a notice to the following effect:

“The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that all holders of the outstanding securities of the Issuer be “Qualified Purchasers” (“Qualified Purchasers”) as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Under the rules, the Issuer must have a “reasonable belief” that all holders of its outstanding securities, including transferees, are Qualified Purchasers. Consequently, all sales and resales of the Notes must be made solely to purchasers that are Qualified Purchasers. Each purchaser of a Note will be deemed to represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser who is (x) an Institutional Accredited Investor (“IAI”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (y) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”) or (z) in the case of Secured Notes only, not a “U.S. person” as defined in Regulation S and is acquiring the Notes in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S; (ii) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser who is a QIB, IAI or, in the case of the Secured Notes only, not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) (as applicable); (iii) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in Issuer; (iv) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the Minimum Denominations of the Notes specified in the Indenture; (v) the purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories; and (vi) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any subsequent transferees. The Notes may only be transferred to another Qualified Purchaser who is also a QIB, IAI or, in the case of the Secured Notes only, not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) (as applicable) and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (i) through (vi) above.”

“The Issuer directs that the recipient of this notice, and any recipient of a copy of this notice, provide a copy to any Person having an interest in this Note as indicated on the books of DTC or on the books of a participant in DTC or on the books of an indirect participant for which such participant in DTC acts as agent.”

“The Indenture provides that if, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained therein, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) discovers, or upon notice from the Trustee to the Issuer (who agrees to notify the Issuer of such discovery if a Trust Officer

-197-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof), that any holder of, or beneficial owner of an interest in a Note who is determined not to have been a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such Note or beneficial interest therein, the Issuer shall send notice to such Holder or beneficial owner (with a copy to the Collateral Manager), demanding that such Holder or beneficial owner sell all of its right, title and interest to such Note (or any interest therein) to a Person that is a Qualified Purchaser that is either (x) solely in the case of the Secured Notes, not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) or (y) an IAI or a QIB (as applicable), with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such holder or beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of and at the direction for the Issuer) shall, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that the Issuer reasonably determines is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose in its sole discretion. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of and at the direction of the Issuer) in its sole discretion may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that deal in securities similar to the Notes and sell such Notes to such bidder or bidders for an aggregate purchase price determined by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion; provided that the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and accounts, funds, clients or portfolios established and controlled by the Collateral Manager shall be entitled (but shall not be obligated) to bid in any such sale and may purchase such Notes pursuant thereto at a price which, in the good faith estimate of the Collateral Manager, results in the highest aggregate purchase price for the totality of such Notes. However, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of and at the direction of the Issuer) may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and Taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any such sale shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer), and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion and shall not be liable to any Person for failing to discover that any Person is a Non-Permitted Holder.”

(b) DTC Actions. The Issuer will direct DTC to take the following steps in connection with the Global Secured Notes:

(i) The Issuer will direct DTC to include the marker “3c7” in the DTC 20-character security descriptor and the 48-character additional descriptor for the Global Secured Notes in order to indicate that sales are limited to Qualified Purchasers.

(ii) The Issuer will direct DTC to cause each physical deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers to contain the 20-character security descriptor. The Issuer will direct DTC to cause each deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers in electronic form to contain a “3c7” indicator and

-198-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

a related user manual for participants. Such user manual will contain a description of the relevant restrictions imposed by Section 3(c)(7).

(iii) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer will instruct DTC to send a Section 3(c)(7) Notice to all DTC participants in connection with the offering of the Global Secured Notes.

(iv) In addition to the obligations of the Registrar set forth in Section 2.5, the Issuer will from time to time (upon the request of the Trustee) make a request to DTC to deliver to the Issuer a list of all DTC participants holding an interest in the Global Secured Notes.

(v) The Issuer will cause each CUSIP number obtained for a Global Note to have a fixed field containing “3c7” and “144A” indicators, as applicable, attached to such CUSIP number.

(c) Bloomberg Screens, Etc. The Issuer will from time to time request all third-party vendors to include on screens maintained by such vendors appropriate legends regarding Rule 144A and Section 3(c)(7) under the 1940 Act restrictions on the Global Secured Notes. Without limiting the foregoing, the Placement Agent and the Initial Purchaser will request that each third-party vendor include the following legends on each screen containing information about the Notes:

(i) Bloomberg.

(A) “Iss’d Under 144A/3c7”, to be stated in the “Note Box” on the bottom of the “Security Display” page describing the Global Secured Notes;

(B) a flashing red indicator stating “See Other Available Information” located on the “Security Display” page;

(C) a link to an “Additional Security Information” page on such indicator stating that the Global Notes are being offered in reliance on the exception from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 to Persons that are both (i) “Qualified Institutional Buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (ii) “Qualified Purchasers” as defined under Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act, as amended; and

(D) a statement on the “Disclaimer” page for the Global Secured Notes that the Notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that the Issuer has not been registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, and that the Global Secured Notes may only be offered or sold in accordance with Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, as amended.

(P) to the payment of (in the same manner and order of priority stated therein) any Administrative Expenses not paid pursuant to clause (A)(2) above due to the limitation contained therein; and

(b) If on any Payment Date the amount available in the Payment Account is insufficient to make the full amount of the disbursements required by the Distribution Report, the Trustee shall make the disbursements called for in the order and according to the priority set forth under Section 11.1(a) above, subject to Section 13.1, to the extent funds are available therefor.

(c) In connection with the application of funds to pay Administrative Expenses of the Issuer in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i), Section 11.1(a)(ii) and Section 11.1(a)(iii), the Trustee shall remit such funds, to the extent available (and subject to the order of priority set forth in the definition of “Administrative Expenses”), as directed and designated in an Issuer Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions, including standing instructions to pay Administrative Expenses in such amounts and to such entities as indicated in the Distribution Report in respect of such Payment Date) delivered to the Trustee no later than the Business Day prior to each Payment Date.

Any such Collateral Management Fee, once waived, shall not thereafter become due and payable and any claim of the Collateral Manager therein shall be extinguished.

(e) At any time during or after the Reinvestment Period, any Holder of Subordinated Notes may (i) make a Contribution of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations or (ii) solely in the case of the Certificated Subordinated Notes, in accordance with Section 8.3(h), designate any portion of Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds that would otherwise be distributed on a Payment Date to such Holder of Subordinated Notes to be instead deposited in the Supplemental Reserve Account as a contribution to the Issuer (a “Contribution” and each such Person, a “Contributor”); provided that a Notice of Contribution in the form of Exhibit E (solely for Contributions of Cash or Eligible Investments) is provided. Each Contribution shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$500,000 (counting all Contributions received on the same day as a single Contribution for this purpose). The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may accept or reject any Contribution in its sole discretion and shall notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator of any such acceptance. Each accepted Contribution of Cash or Eligible Investments shall be deposited into the Supplemental Reserve Account and may

-206-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

be withdrawn at the written direction of the Collateral Manager. Contributions of Cash or Eligible Investments may only be used for a Permitted Use or Permitted Uses as directed by the applicable Contributor at the time such Contribution is made, so long as the Collateral Manager consents to such Permitted Use(s) (or, if no direction is given by the Contributor, at the Collateral Manager’s reasonable discretion). No Contribution of Cash or Eligible Investments or portion thereof will be returned to any applicable holder of Subordinated Notes at any time. From time to time, the Initial Subordinated Noteholder may make Contributions or transfers of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations, or any combination thereof, either directly or through one or more intermediate related entities or Affiliates, to the Issuer. For administrative convenience any Contributions or transfers of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations made through one or more intermediate related entities or Affiliates of the Initial Subordinated Noteholder may instead be made directly into the Issuer, and by bypassing such intermediate related entity or Affiliate. The value received by the Issuer in Cash, Eligible Investments and/or in the form of Collateral Obligations will not be affected by the elimination of such intermediate steps. In the case of any such payment made to the Issuer in the form of a combination of Cash and Collateral Obligations, the Cash portion of such payment shall be an amount equal to the total payment required to be made to the Issuer reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value as determined by the Collateral Manager as of the date of contribution of the Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments contributed in a Contribution or transferred to the Issuer in respect of such payment.

(f) Notwithstanding the Priority of Payments, the Issuer may make Permitted RIC Distributions to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes subject to the conditions for such distributions set forth in the definition of “Permitted RIC Distributions.”

To the extent that minimum denominations do not permit a pro rata distribution, the Trustee shall distribute the Unsaleable Assets on a pro rata basis to the extent possible and the Issuer or the Collateral Manager shall select by lottery the Holder to whom the remaining amount will be delivered. The Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect delivery of such interests.

(D) If no such Holder provides delivery instructions to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Collateral Manager and offer to deliver (at no cost to the Trustee) the Unsaleable Asset to the Collateral Manager.

In addition, at any time the Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee in writing to exercise an option, warrant, right of conversion, pre-emptive right, rights offering, credit bid or similar right or pay for the acquisition of an Equity Security or any other security (except as otherwise set forth herein) which is not eligible for acquisition by the Issuer hereunder using amounts designated for a Permitted Use and/or Interest Proceeds in connection with an insolvency, bankruptcy, winding-up, reorganization, debt restructuring or workout of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, so long as such Equity Security or other security is issued by the same Obligor as the Collateral Obligation, as applicable (or an affiliate of or successor to such Obligor or an entity that succeeds to substantially all of the assets of such Obligor or a significant portion of such assets); provided, that if using Interest Proceeds, the Issuer shall only effect such payment if after giving effect to such acquisition, there would be sufficient proceeds pursuant to the Priority of Payments to pay in full all amounts due and payable through and including Section 11.1(a)(i)(L). Any such exchange or acquisition shall not constitute a sale hereunder or be subject to the Investment Criteria.

(h) During or after the Reinvestment Period the Issuer may use amounts designated for a Permitted Use, Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account to acquire a Workout Loan; provided that (x) Interest Proceeds may only be used to acquire a Workout Loan to the extent that such acquisition will not render insufficient the available Interest Proceeds remaining on the next Payment Date to pay in full all amounts due and payable through and including Section 11.1(a)(i)(L) and (y) Principal Proceeds may only be used to acquire a Workout Loan so long as (A) such Workout Loan ranks senior to or pari passu with the Collateral Obligation subject to the applicable workout or restructuring, (B) such Workout Loan is a Senior Secured Loan, (C) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test is satisfied immediately prior to and following the acquisition of such Workout Loan, (D) such Workout Loan is not a Long-Dated Obligation and (E) the aggregate amount of Principal Proceeds used to acquire Workout Loans pursuant to this Section 12.2(h) (1) since the Closing Date shall not exceed 10.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount after giving effect to such acquisition and (2) that remain in the Assets after giving effect to such acquisition shall not exceed 5.0% of the Collateral Principal Amount. Any such acquisition of a Workout Loan shall not be subject to the Investment Criteria.

Section 12.3 Conditions Applicable to All Sale and Purchase Transactions. (a) Any transaction effected under this Article XII or in connection with the acquisition, disposition or substitution of any Asset shall be conducted on an arm’s length basis and, if effected with a Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager (or with an account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as investment adviser), shall be effected on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated; provided that in the case of any Collateral Obligation sold or otherwise transferred to a Person so Affiliated, the value thereof shall be the mid-point between the “bid” and “ask” prices provided by a nationally recognized independent pricing service or, if unavailable or determined by the Collateral Manager

-214-

to be unreliable, the fair market value of such Collateral Obligation as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard, and such Affiliate shall acquire such Collateral Obligation for a price equal to the value so determined; provided further that an aggregate amount of Collateral Obligations not exceeding 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance may be sold or otherwise transferred to the U.S. Retention Holder pursuant to this Indenture at a price greater than the value determined pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, but no greater than the Transfer Deposit Amount of any such Collateral Obligation (and to the extent such price exceeds the fair market value of any such Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer); provided further that, the Trustee shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this paragraph by the other parties. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII to the contrary, after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall not acquire any Collateral Obligation from an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager unless (i) such transfer is from the U.S. Retention Holder pursuant to the Master Loan Sale Agreement or (ii) such transfer is from an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager that is a bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle.

(b) Upon any acquisition of a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Article XII, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest to the Asset or Assets shall be Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Asset or Assets shall be Delivered to the Custodian, and, if applicable, the Custodian shall receive such Asset or Assets. The Trustee shall also receive, not later than the Cut-Off Date, an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer containing the statements set forth in a Delivery Certificate; provided that such requirement shall be satisfied, and such statements shall be deemed to have been made by the Issuer, in respect of such acquisition by the delivery to the Trustee of a trade ticket in respect thereof that is signed by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or Article V to the contrary, but subject to the Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer shall have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation and the Transferor shall have the right to exercise any optional purchase or substitution rights (1) with the consent of Noteholders evidencing at least (i) with respect to purchases or optional repurchases or substitutions during the Reinvestment Period and sales during or after the Reinvestment Period, 75% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes and (ii) with respect to purchases or optional repurchases or substitutions after the Reinvestment Period, 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes and (2) of which the Rating Agencies and the Trustee has been notified.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or Article V to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, the Issuer shall not have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation and the Transferor shall not exercise any optional repurchase or substitution rights, in each case, without the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

(e) Any acquisition (whether by purchase or substitution) or disposition of a Collateral Obligation by the Issuer will be subject to the following conditions (the “Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements”): (a) such Collateral Obligation, if

-215-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

being acquired by the Issuer, is an Eligible Asset; (b) such Collateral Obligation is being acquired or disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture; (c) the acquisition or disposition of such Collateral Obligation does not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating issued by any Rating Agency on any Class of Notes then Outstanding; and (d) such Collateral Obligation is not being acquired or disposed of for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes.

Section 12.4 Optional Repurchase or Substitution of Collateral Obligations.

(a) Optional Substitutions.

(i) With respect to any Collateral Obligation as to which a Substitution Event has occurred, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12.4, the Transferor may (but shall not be obligated to), with the consent of the Collateral Manager (so long as MidCap Financial Services Capital Management, LLC is the Collateral Manager) either (x) convey to the U.S. Retention Holder (and cause the U.S. Retention Holder to contemporaneously convey to the Issuer) one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for such Collateral Obligation or (y) deposit into the Principal Collection Subaccount the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to such Collateral Obligation and then, prior to the expiration of the Substitution Period, convey to the U.S. Retention Holder (and cause the U.S. Retention Holder to contemporaneously convey to the Issuer) one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for the funds so deposited or a portion thereof.

(ii) Any substitution pursuant to this Section 12.4(a) shall be initiated by delivery of written notice in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Substitution”) by the Transferor to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager that the Transferor intends to substitute a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Section 12.4(a) and shall be completed prior to the earliest of: (x) the expiration of 90 days after delivery of such notice; (y) delivery of written notice to the Trustee from the Transferor stating that the Transferor does not intend to convey any additional Substitute Collateral Obligations to the Issuer in exchange for any remaining amounts deposited in the Principal Collection Subaccount under clause (a)(i)(y); or (z) in the case of a Collateral Obligation which has become subject to a Specified Amendment, the effective date set forth in such Specified Amendment (such period described in clause (ii)(x), (y) or (z), as applicable, being the “Substitution Period”).

(iii) Each Notice of Substitution shall specify the Collateral Obligation to be substituted, the reasons for such substitution and the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to the Collateral Obligation. On the last day of any Substitution Period, any amounts previously deposited in accordance with clause (a)(i)(y) above which relate to such Substitution Period that have not been applied to purchase one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary shall be deemed to constitute Principal Proceeds; provided that prior to the expiration of the related Substitution Period any such amounts shall not be

-216-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

deemed to be Principal Proceeds and shall remain in the Principal Collection Subaccount until applied to acquire Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the U.S. Retention Holder, by the U.S. Retention Provider from the Transferor in connection with a Substitution Event pursuant to this Section 12.4 exceeds the fair market value of the replaced Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the U.S. Retention Holder, and from the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer.

(iv) The substitution of any Substitute Collateral Obligation will be subject to the satisfaction of the Substitute Collateral Obligations Qualification Conditions as of the related Cut-Off Date for each such Collateral Obligation (after giving effect to such substitution).

(v) Prior to any substitution of a Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Manager must provide written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

(b) Repurchases. In addition to the right to substitute for any Collateral Obligations that become subject to a Substitution Event, the Transferor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from the U.S. Retention Holder, cause the U.S. Retention Holder to repurchase from the Issuer and convey to the Transferor any such Collateral Obligation subject to the Repurchase and Substitution Limit. In the event of such a repurchase, the Transferor shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Collateral Obligation (or applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such repurchase (with the amount of the Transfer Deposit Amount representing the outstanding principal balance of the repurchased Collateral Obligation being deposited into the Principal Collection Subaccount and the amount of the Transfer Deposit Amount representing accrued interest being deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount, regardless of whether such amounts are deemed to be capital contributions). The Issuer and, at the written direction of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Transferor or by the Collateral Manager in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Collateral Obligations (together with the Assets related thereto) that are being repurchased and the release thereof from the lien of this Indenture. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the U.S. Retention Holder in connection with such repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer, and to the extent any cash or other property received by the U.S. Retention Holder from the Transferor in connection with such a repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the U.S. Retention Holder.

(c) Repurchase and Substitution Limit. At all times, (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Substitute Collateral Obligations owned by the Issuer at any time since the Closing Date plus (ii) the Aggregate Principal Balance related to all Collateral Obligations that have been repurchased by the Transferor pursuant to its right of optional repurchase or substitution since the Closing Date and not subsequently applied to purchase a Substitute

-217-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

Collateral Obligation may not exceed an amount equal to (x) 20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance in the aggregate and (y) 10% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance in the case of Defaulted Obligations or Credit Risk Obligations repurchased following a determination by the Collateral Manager that such Collateral Obligation would with the passage of time become a Defaulted Obligation; provided that clause (ii) above shall not include (A) the Principal Balance related to any Collateral Obligation that is repurchased by the Transferor in connection with a proposed Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation so long as (x) the Transferor certifies in writing to the Collateral Manager and the Trustee that such purchase is, in the commercially reasonable business judgment of the Transferor, necessary or advisable in connection with the restructuring of such Collateral Obligation and such restructuring is expected to result in a Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation, and (y) the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to or would not elect to enter into such Specified Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement or (B) the purchase price of any Collateral Obligations or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity Securities sold by and at the option of the Issuer to the Transferor pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.1(g). The foregoing provisions in this paragraph constitute the “Repurchase and Substitution Limit.”

(d) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Issuer and the Trustee agree that the Transferor shall be a third party beneficiary of this Indenture solely for purposes of this Section 12.4, and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce such provisions of this Section 12.4 to the same extent as if it were a party hereto.

In the event one or more Holders or beneficial owners of Notes cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer prior to the expiration of the period set forth in clause (b) of this Section 13.1, such Holder(s) or beneficial owner(s) will be deemed to acknowledge and agree that any claim that such Holder(s) have against the Issuer (including under all Notes of any Class held by such Holder(s)) or with respect to any Assets (including any proceeds thereof) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Priority of Payments and notwithstanding any objection to, or rescission of, such filing, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the claims of each Holder (and each other secured creditor of the Issuer) that does not seek to cause any such filing, with such subordination being effective until all Notes (and each claim of each other secured creditor) held by each Holder of any Note that does not seek to cause any such filing is paid in full in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth herein (after giving effect to such subordination). The terms described in the immediately preceding sentence are referred to herein as the “Bankruptcy Subordination Agreement.” The Bankruptcy Subordination Agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Section 13.2 Standard of Conduct. In exercising any of its or their voting rights, rights to direct and consent or any other rights as a Holder under this Indenture, a Holder or Holders shall not have any obligation or duty to any Person or to consider or take into account the interests of any Person and shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken by it or them or at its or their direction or any failure by it or them to act or to direct that an action be taken, without regard to whether such action or inaction benefits or adversely affects any Holder, the Issuer, or any other Person, except for any liability to which such Holder may be subject to the extent the same results from such Holder’s taking or directing an action, or failing to take or direct an action, in bad faith or in violation of the express terms of this Indenture.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel (provided that such counsel is a nationally or internationally recognized and reputable law firm, one or more of the partners of which are admitted to practice before the highest court of any State of the United States or the District of Columbia, which law firm may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be counsel for the Issuer), unless such Officer knows, or should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters,

-219-

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person (on which the Trustee shall be entitled to rely), stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer of the Collateral Manager or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Collateral Manager or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s right to make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(d).

The Bank (in any capacity under the Transaction Documents) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to the Transaction Documents sent by unsecured email or facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided that any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing authorized persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Bank email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Bank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank’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 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 14.2 Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.

sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee reasonably deems sufficient.

(c) The principal amount or face amount, as the case may be, and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of such Person’s holding the same, shall be proved by the Register or shall be provided by certification by such Holder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will have the right to receive access to reports on the Trustee’s website and will be entitled to exercise rights to vote, give consents and directions which holders of the related Class of Notes are entitled to give under this Indenture upon delivery of a beneficial ownership certificate (a “Beneficial Ownership Certificate”) to the Trustee which certifies (i) that such Person is a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, (ii) the amount and Class of Notes so owned, and (iii) that such Person will notify the Trustee when it sells all or a portion of its beneficial interest in such Class of Notes. A separate Beneficial Ownership Certificate must be delivered each time any such vote, consent or direction is given; provided that, nothing shall prevent the Trustee from requesting additional information and documentation with respect to any such beneficial owner; provided further that the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and the currency of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate and shall not be required to obtain any further information in this regard.

Section 14.4 Notices to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service (or, in the case of Holders of Global Notes, e-mailed to DTC), to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

(b) such notice shall be in the English language.

Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing.

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

Subject to the requirements of Section 14.15, the Trustee will deliver to the Holders any information or notice relating to this Indenture requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes (by Aggregate Outstanding Amount), at the expense of the Issuer; provided that the Trustee may decline to send any such notice that it reasonably determines to be contrary to (i) any of the terms of this Indenture, (ii) any duty or obligation that the Trustee may have hereunder or (iii) applicable law. The Trustee may require the requesting Holders to comply with its standard verification policies in order to confirm Noteholder status. The Trustee shall have no liability for such disclosure or, subject to its duties herein, the accuracy thereof.

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this

Indenture, then such notification to Holders as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

Section 14.8 Benefits of Indenture.

MOODY’S DERIVED RATING

With respect to a Collateral Obligation whose Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating is determined as the Moody’s Derived Rating, the rating is determined in the manner set forth below:

(a) with respect to any DIP Collateral Obligation, (x) the Moody’s Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be the rating that is the facility rating (whether public or private) of such DIP Collateral Obligation rated by Moody’s and (y) the Moody’s Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be the facility rating (whether public or private) of such DIP Collateral Obligation rated by Moody’s; provided, however, if such facility rating has been withdrawn by Moody’s and a new facility rating has not been issued by Moody’s, or if no such facility rating exists or is available, then such DIP Collateral Obligation will be deemed to have a Moody’s Rating of “B2”;

(b) if not determined pursuant to clause (a) above, then by using any one of the methods provided below:

(1) pursuant to the table below:

Type of Collateral Obligation S&P Rating or Fitch Rating* Collateral Obligation Rated by S&P or Fitch Number of Subcategories Relative to Moody’s Equivalent of S&P Rating or Fitch rating

* If such Collateral Obligation has both an S&P Rating and a Fitch rating, the Moody’s Derived Rating shall be determined pursuant to this clause (b) with respect to the higher of the S&P Rating and the Fitch rating, unless otherwise determined by the Collateral Manager.

(2) In the event, the Collateral Obligation does not have an S&P rating or a Fitch rating, but another security or obligation of the Obligor is publicly rated by S&P or Fitch:

Obligation Category of <br>Rated Obligation Number of Subcategories Relative to Rated Obligation Rating
Senior secured obligation ‑1
Unsecured obligation 0
Subordinated obligation +1

(3) if such Collateral Obligation is a DIP Collateral Obligation, the Moody’s Derived Rating may be determined based on a rating by S&P, Fitch or any other rating agency.

For purposes of this Schedule 3, the following terms shall have the definitions listed below:

“Assigned Moody’s Rating”: The publicly available rating, unpublished monitored rating or the estimated rating expressly assigned to a debt obligation (or facility) by Moody’s that addresses the full amount of the principal and interest promised; provided that, so long as the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) applies for a new estimated rating, or renewal of an estimated rating, in a timely manner and provides the information required to obtain such estimate or renewal, as applicable, then pending receipt of such estimate or renewal, as applicable, (A) in the case of a request for a new estimated rating, (i) for a period of 90 days, such debt obligation will have a Moody’s Rating of “B3” for purposes of this definition if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager believes that such estimated rating will be at least “B3” and (ii) thereafter, such debt obligation will have a Moody’s Rating of “Caa3,” or (B) in the case of a request for a renewal of an estimated rating following a material deterioration in the creditworthiness of the obligor or a specified amendment, the Issuer will continue using the previous estimated rating assigned by Moody’s until such time as (x) Moody’s renews such estimated rating or assigns a new estimated rating for such debt obligation and (y) the criteria

S&P RATING

“S&P Rating” XE “S&P Rating” means, with respect to any Collateral Obligation (other than a Current Pay Obligation), as of any date of determination, the rating determined in accordance with the following methodology:

(a) (i) if there is an issuer credit rating of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation by S&P as published by S&P, or the guarantor which unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees such Collateral Obligation pursuant to a form of guaranty which complies with S&P’s then-current criteria with respect to guarantees, then the S&P Rating shall be such rating (regardless of whether there is a published rating by S&P on the Collateral Obligations of such issuer held by the Issuer, provided that private ratings (that is, ratings provided at the request of the obligor) may be used for purposes of this definition if the related obligor has consented to the disclosure thereof and a copy of such consent has been provided to S&P) or (ii) if there is no issuer credit rating of the issuer by S&P but (1) there is a senior secured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer, then the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be one sub-category below such rating; (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, but there is a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer, the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall equal such rating; and (3) if neither clause (1) nor clause (2) above applies, but there is a subordinated rating on any obligation or security of the issuer, then the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be one sub-category above such rating;

(b) with respect to any Collateral Obligation that is a DIP Collateral Obligation, the S&P Rating thereof shall be the credit rating assigned to such issue by S&P; provided that (x) such rating was assigned within 12 months of the applicable date of issue and (y) the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) will notify S&P if the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any material amendment or event with respect to such Collateral Obligation that would, in the reasonable business judgment of the Collateral Manager, have a material adverse impact on the credit quality of such Collateral Obligation, including any amortization modifications, extensions of maturity, reductions of principal amount owed, or non-payment of timely interest or principal due;

(c) if there is not a rating by S&P on the issuer or on an obligation of the issuer, then the S&P Rating may be determined pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) below:

(i) if an obligation of the issuer is publicly rated by Moody’s, then the S&P Rating will be determined in accordance with the methodologies for establishing the Moody’s Rating set forth above except that the S&P Rating of such obligation will be the S&P equivalent of the Moody’s Rating; provided that the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations that may have an S&P Rating derived from a Moody’s Rating as set forth in this clause (i) may not exceed 10% of the Collateral Principal Amount;

S-4-1

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32370197.14

(ii) the S&P Rating may be based on a credit estimate provided by S&P, and in connection therewith, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer or the issuer of such Collateral Obligation will, prior to or within 30 days after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, apply (and concurrently submit all available Information in respect of such application) to S&P for a credit estimate which will be its S&P Rating; provided that until the receipt from S&P of such estimate, such Collateral Obligation will have an S&P Rating as determined by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that it believes that such S&P Rating determined by the Collateral Manager is commercially reasonable and will be at least equal to such rating; provided further that, if such Information is not submitted within such 30-day period, then, pending receipt from S&P of such estimate, the Collateral Obligation will have (1) the S&P Rating as determined by the Collateral Manager for a period of up to 90 days after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation and (2) an S&P Rating of “CCC-” following such 90-day period; unless, during such 90-day period, the Collateral Manager has requested the extension of such period and S&P, in its sole discretion, has granted such request; provided further that, if the Collateral Obligation has had a public rating by S&P that S&P has withdrawn or suspended within six months prior to the date of such application for a credit estimate in respect of such Collateral Obligation, the S&P Rating in respect thereof shall be “CCC-” pending receipt from S&P of such estimate, and S&P may elect not to provide such estimate until a period of six months (or such other period as provided in S&P’s then-current criteria) have elapsed after the withdrawal or suspension of the public rating; provided further that with respect to any Collateral Obligation for which S&P has provided a credit estimate, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) will request that S&P confirm or update such estimate annually (and pending receipt of such confirmation or new estimate, the Collateral Obligation will have the prior estimate); provided further that such credit estimate shall expire 12 months after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, following which such Collateral Obligation shall have an S&P Rating of “CCC-” unless, during such 12-month period, the Issuer applies for renewal thereof in accordance with this Indenture (and concurrently submits all available Information in respect of such renewal), in which case such credit estimate shall continue to be the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation until S&P has confirmed or revised such credit estimate, upon which such confirmed or revised credit estimate shall be the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation; provided further that such confirmed or revised credit estimate shall expire on the next succeeding 12-month anniversary of the date of the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation and (when renewed annually in accordance with this Indenture) on each 12-month anniversary thereafter; provided further that the Issuer will submit all available Information in respect of such Collateral Obligation to S&P notwithstanding that the Issuer is not applying to S&P for a confirmed or updated credit estimate; provided further that the Issuer will promptly notify S&P of any material events affecting any such Collateral Obligation if the Collateral Manager reasonably determines that such notice is required in accordance with S&P’s published criteria for credit estimates titled “Credit FAQ: Anatomy Of A Credit Estimate: What It Means And How We Do It?”

(iii) with respect to a Collateral Obligation that is not a Defaulted Obligation, the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation will at the election of the Issuer (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) be “CCC-;” provided (A) neither the issuer of such Collateral Obligation nor any of its Affiliates are subject to any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings and (B) the issuer has not defaulted on any payment obligation in respect of any debt security or other obligation of the issuer at any time within the two year period ending on such date of determination, all such debt securities and other obligations of the issuer that are pari passu with or senior to the Collateral Obligation are current and the Collateral Manager reasonably expects them to remain current; provided that the Issuer will submit all available Information in respect of such Collateral Obligation to S&P as if the Issuer were applying to S&P for a credit estimate; provided further that the Issuer will promptly notify S&P of any material events affecting any such Collateral Obligation if the Collateral Manager reasonably determines that such notice is required in accordance with S&P’s published criteria for credit estimates titled “Credit FAQ: Anatomy Of A Credit Estimate: What It Means And How We Do It?” dated January 2021 (as the same may be amended or updated from time to time); or

(d) with respect to a DIP Collateral Obligation that has no issue rating by S&P, the S&P Rating of such DIP Collateral Obligation will be, at the election of the Issuer (at the direction of the Collateral Manager), “CCC-”; provided that such DIP Collateral Obligation will have an S&P Rating of up to “B-” (as determined by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion) for a period of up to 90 days following the issuance of such DIP Collateral Obligation if the Collateral Manager reasonably expects S&P will issue a rating at equal to or higher than such interim rating within the such 90 day period;

provided that for purposes of the determination of the S&P Rating, (x) if the applicable rating assigned by S&P to an obligor or its obligations is on “credit watch positive” by S&P, such rating will be treated as being one sub-category above such assigned rating and (y) if the applicable rating assigned by S&P to an obligor or its obligations is on “credit watch negative” by S&P, such rating will be treated as being one sub-category below such assigned rating; provided further that, for purposes of the determination of the S&P Rating, if (x) the issuer or Obligor of any Collateral Obligation (or, in the case of clause (i) in the definition of “Defaulted Obligation,” any Selling Institution) was a debtor under Chapter 11, during which time such issuer, Obligor or Selling Institution, as applicable, or any of its obligations (including any Collateral Obligation) either had an S&P rating of “SD” or “CC” or lower from S&P or had an S&P rating that was withdrawn by S&P and (y) such issuer, Obligor or Selling Institution, as applicable, is no longer a debtor under Chapter 11, then, notwithstanding the fact that such issuer, Obligor or Selling Institution, as applicable, or any of its obligations (including any Collateral Obligation) continues to have an S&P rating of “SD” or “CC” or lower from S&P (or, in the case of any withdrawal, continues to have no S&P rating), the S&P Rating for any such obligation (including any Collateral Obligation), issuer, Obligor or Selling Institution, as applicable, shall be deemed to be “CCC-”, so long as S&P has not taken any rating action with respect thereto since the date on which the issuer, Obligor or

Schedule 5

FITCH RATING DEFINITIONS

“Fitch Rating” means, with respect to any Collateral Obligation, as of any date of determination, the rating determined in accordance with the following methodology:

a. if Fitch has issued a long-term issuer default rating or assigned a long-term issuer default credit opinion with respect to the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating will be such issuer default rating (regardless of whether there is a published rating by Fitch on the Collateral Obligations of such Obligor held by the Issuer) or assigned credit opinion;

b. if Fitch has not issued a long-term issuer default rating or a long- term issuer default credit opinion with respect to the Obligor or guarantor of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued an outstanding long-term insurer financial strength rating with respect to such Obligor, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one subcategory below such rating;

c. if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b), but

i. Fitch has issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will equal such rating; or

ii. Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued a senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating on any obligation or security of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will (x) equal such rating if such rating is ‘BBB–’ or higher and (y) be one subcategory below such rating if such rating is ‘BB+’ or lower; or

iii. Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating or a senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating on any obligation or security of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, but Fitch has issued a junior subordinated or senior subordinated rating on any obligation or security of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be (x) one sub category above such rating if such rating is ‘B+’ or higher and (y) two subcategories above such rating if such rating is ‘B’ or lower;

d. if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) and

i. Moody’s has issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating;

ii. Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation but has issued a publicly available long-term issuer rating for such Obligor, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating;

iii. Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating or long-term issuer rating for the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation, but Moody’s has issued a publicly available outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such Obligor, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one subcategory below the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating;

viii. both Moody’s and S&P provide a public rating of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation or a corporate issue of such Obligor, then the Fitch Rating will be the lowest of the Fitch Ratings determined pursuant to any of the subclauses of this clause (d); and

e. (x) if a rating cannot be determined pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) and (y)(1) if a rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (d) or (2) the Collateral Manager makes a commercially reasonable determination that the rating determined pursuant to clause (d) does not reflect the appropriate rating applicable to such Collateral Obligation, then, (i) at the discretion of the Collateral Manager, the Fitch Rating may be based on a credit opinion provided by Fitch and in connection therewith, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer or the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation will, prior to or within thirty (30) days after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, apply to Fitch for a credit opinion, which shall be the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation; provided that, until the receipt from Fitch of such credit opinion, such Collateral Obligation will have a Fitch Rating of (x) ‘B–’ if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that it believes that the credit opinion will be at least equal to such rating, or (y) otherwise, the rating specified as applicable thereto by Fitch pending receipt of such credit opinion; provided further that such credit opinion shall expire 12 months after the acquisition of such credit opinion, following which such Collateral Obligation shall have a Fitch Rating of “CCC” unless, during such 12-month period, the Issuer applies for renewal thereof in accordance with Indenture requirements, in which case, so long as the Issuer has provided to Fitch each of items 1 through 4 under "Information for Assignment of Issuer Credit Opinions" in Appendix 12 of Fitch's "CLOs and Corporate CDOs Rating Criteria" dated July 24, 2023 (other than any such item that Fitch has expressly indicated is not required to be provided) in connection with such renewal at least 21 days prior to the expiration of such credit opinion and has used commercially reasonable efforts to provide a timely response to any further reasonable information requests by Fitch with respect to such renewal, such credit opinion will be the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation until Fitch has confirmed or revised such credit opinion, upon which such confirmed or revised credit opinion will be the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation; or (ii) the Issuer may assign a Fitch Rating of ‘CCC’ to such Collateral Obligation, which is not in default;

provided that, if any rating described above is (i) on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, the rating will be the higher of (x) the Fitch Rating as determined above adjusted down by one subcategory and (y) “CCC-”, or (ii) on outlook negative, the rating will not be adjusted; provided further that, the Fitch Rating may be updated by Fitch from time to time as indicated in the “CLOs and Corporate CDOs Rating Criteria” report issued by Fitch and available at www.fitchratings.com. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fitch Rating takes into account adjustments for assets that are on rating watch negative or negative credit watch prior to determining the rating or in the determination of the lower of the Moody’s and S&P public ratings.

Fitch Test Matrix

Subject to the provisions provided below, on or after the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager will have the option to elect which of the cases set forth in the matrix below (or any replacement matrix provided or confirmed by Fitch) (the “Fitch Test Matrix”) shall be applicable for purposes of the Maximum Fitch Rating Factor Test, the Minimum Weighted Average Fitch Recovery Rate Test and the Fitch Minimum Floating Spread Test. The Collateral Manager will have the option to use linear interpolation within the Fitch Test Matrix to the extent required. For any given case:

(a) the applicable value for determining satisfaction of the Maximum Fitch Rating Factor Test will be the value set forth in the column header (or linear

S-5-6

interpolation between two adjacent columns, as applicable) of the row-column combination in the Fitch Test Matrix selected by the Collateral Manager;

(b) the applicable value for determining satisfaction of the Fitch Minimum Floating Spread Test will be the percentage set forth in the row header (or linear interpolation between two adjacent rows as applicable) of the row-column combination in the Fitch Test Matrix selected by the Collateral Manager; and

(c) the applicable value for determining satisfaction of the Minimum Weighted Average Fitch Recovery Rate Test will be the value in the intersection cell (or linear interpolation between two adjacent rows and/or two adjacent columns, as applicable) of the row-column combination in the Fitch Test Matrix selected by the Collateral Manager in relation to (a) and (b) above.

On the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager will be required to elect which case shall apply initially by written notice to the Issuer and Fitch. Thereafter, on two Business Days’ notice to the Issuer and Fitch, the Collateral Manager may elect to have a different case apply, provided that the Maximum Fitch Rating Factor Test, the Minimum Weighted Average Fitch Recovery Rate Test and the Fitch Minimum Floating Spread Test applicable to the case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change are satisfied after giving effect to such change or, in the case of any tests that are not satisfied, the Issuer’s level of compliance with such tests is improved after giving effect to the application of the different case.

Schedule 7

DIVERSITY SCORE CALCULATION

The Diversity Score is calculated as follows:

(a) An “Issuer Par Amount” is calculated for each issuer of a Collateral Obligation, and is equal to the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations issued by that issuer and all affiliates.

(b) An “Average Par Amount” is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers.

(c) An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and (y) the Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount.

(d) An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each of the Moody’s industry classification groups, shown on Schedule 5, and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry classification group.

(e) An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each Moody’s industry classification group, shown on Schedule 5, by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:

  • In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.1, such Person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Article 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under this Article 9. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party fails to retain counsel as provided in the preceding sentence. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Arrangers. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second

Page 19

  • and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such indemnified party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
  • To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9.1 is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer the one hand and the applicable Arranger on the other hand from the sale and purchase of Subject Notes hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 9.3(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 9.3(i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer the one hand and of the applicable Arranger on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuer be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the sale of the Subject Notes hereunder (before deducting expenses), including the amount (immediately prior to retirement) of any liabilities retired in exchange for the Subject Notes sold hereunder, and benefits received by the applicable Arranger shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions received by the applicable Arranger from the Issuer in connection with the purchase of the Subject Notes hereunder. The relative fault of the Issuer the one hand and of the applicable Arranger on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or by the applicable Arranger and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
  • The Issuer agrees that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9.3. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 9.3 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9.4, each

Page 20

  • Person, if any, who controls an Arranger within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Arranger shall have the same rights to contribution as such Arranger, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 9.4.
  • The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of each Arranger or any Person controlling such Person or by or on behalf of the Issuer or its officers or directors or any Person controlling it; and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Subject Notes.
  • The remedies provided for in this Article 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
  • Termination of Agreement
  • The Initial Purchaser, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Issuer prior to delivery of and payment for the Subject Notes, may terminate this Agreement and the obligations of each party hereto hereunder (except as expressly provided in Article 11) if, prior to such time:
  • the Issuer shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto;
  • trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT LLC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade;
  • a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in Delaware or New York shall have been declared by the relevant federal, Delaware or New York authorities;
  • there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, or any change in financial markets, political or economic conditions, currency exchange rates or controls, or any calamity or crisis, that in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchaser, is material and adverse, and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, marketing or delivery of the Subject Notes as contemplated by the Offering Documents, as amended as of the date hereof; or
  • a terrorist attack or similar hostilities against the United States and/or its citizens and/or their respective properties within the states and territories of the United States or in foreign countries, that in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchaser, is material and adverse, and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, marketing or delivery

Page 21

  • of the Subject Notes as contemplated by the Offering Documents, as amended as of the date hereof.
  • Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 10 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination.
  • Survival of Representations, Warranties, etc.
  • The respective agreements, representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other statements made by or on behalf of the Issuer or its officers and each of the Arrangers pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect (in the case of the Issuer, regardless of any investigation or any statements as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of any Arranger or any officer, director, employee or controlling person of any Arranger) and shall survive offering and delivery of the Subject Notes. The provisions of this Section 11.1, Section 16.1 and Articles 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

  • Consent to Jurisdiction
  • The Issuer hereby irrevocably submits, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding against the Issuer arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Offering Documents or the Notes (“Proceedings”), and the Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims against it in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any of such courts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer agrees that a final judgment obtained in any such court described above in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other manner provided by law. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall irrevocably designate and appoint CT Corporation Systems (the “Process Agent”) 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005, as its agent to receive service of process in any proceedings in the City and County of New York; provided that failure to deliver any such copy to the Issuer or in care of the Issuer shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such service of process. The Issuer agrees that service of process on the aforementioned agent and written notice of such service to the Issuer as provided above shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process.
  • To the extent that the Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any such court referred to above, or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

Page 23

COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of February 24, 2025, is entered into by and between MFIC BETHESDA CLO 2 LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”) and MIDCAP FINANCIAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland, as collateral manager (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “MFIC” and the “Collateral Manager”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of a date on or about February 24, 2025 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”);

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

and the Indenture), to take all actions that it considers reasonably necessary and appropriate in respect of the Assets, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

The Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by a Person that the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized.

11

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

investment advice), to provide services to arrange for trade execution and otherwise provide assistance to the Issuer and to perform any of its duties hereunder; provided that, the Collateral Manager shall not be relieved of any of its duties hereunder regardless of the performance of any services by third parties, including affiliates.

Section 3. Purchase and Sale Transactions; Brokerage.

(a) The Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, hereby agrees that it shall cause any Transaction to be conducted on terms and conditions negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and in accordance with applicable law. Except as expressly permitted under the Indenture, no Assets (other than any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations) shall be purchased if such Assets may give rise to any obligation or liability on the Issuer’s part to take any action or make any payment other than at the Issuer’s option. Further, the Collateral Manager will not cause or allow the Issuer to acquire any obligation of a Portfolio Company.

(b) The Collateral Manager will seek to obtain the best execution (but shall have no obligation to obtain the lowest price available) for all orders placed with respect to any Transaction, in a manner permitted by law and in a manner it believes to be in the best interests of the Issuer. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, select brokers and/or dealers with whom to effect trades on behalf of the Issuer and may open cash trading accounts with such brokers and dealers; provided that, none of the Assets may be credited to, held in or subject to the lien of the broker or dealer with respect to any such account. In addition, subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, take into consideration research and other brokerage services furnished to the Collateral Manager or its affiliates by brokers and dealers which are not affiliates of the Collateral Manager; provided that, the Collateral Manager in good faith believes that the compensation for such services rendered by such brokers and dealers complies with the requirements of Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act (“Section 28(e)”), or in the case of principal or fixed income transactions for which the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e) is not available, the amount of the spread charged is reasonable in relation to the value of the research and other brokerage services provided. Such services may be used by the Collateral Manager in connection with its other advisory activities or investment operations. The Collateral Manager may aggregate sales and purchase orders of securities placed with respect to the Assets with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the Collateral Manager or with accounts of the affiliates of the Collateral Manager, if in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable judgment such aggregation shall result in an overall economic benefit to the Issuer, taking into consideration all circumstances that it considers relevant. When a Transaction occurs as part of any aggregate sales or purchase orders, the objective of the Collateral Manager will be to allocate the executions among the accounts in an equitable manner and in accordance with the internal policies and procedures of the Collateral Manager (as such may be amended from time to time, the “Internal Policies”) and applicable law.

(c) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the determination by the Collateral Manager of any benefit to the Issuer will be subjective and will represent the Collateral Manager’s evaluation at the time taking into consideration all circumstances that it considers relevant and (ii) the Collateral Manager shall be fully protected with respect to any such determination to the extent

12

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

the Collateral Manager acts in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the CM Purchasers are holders of certain Notes, and may purchase (directly or indirectly) the Notes of one or more Classes from time to time and such investment(s) may give rise to conflicts of interest. The Collateral Manager may remit a portion of the Collateral Management Fee received by it to one or more of the CM Purchasers or any of its other affiliates or accounts or funds managed by it or its affiliates. No other beneficial owner of the Notes will receive any such fee remittance, nor will any such fee remittance reduce the amount of the Collateral Management Fee paid to the Collateral Manager.

(d) Subject to the Collateral Manager’s execution obligations described in Sections 3(a), 3(b) and 3(e) and the covenants set forth in Section 5, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized to effect client cross-transactions where the Collateral Manager causes a Transaction to be effected between the Issuer and another account advised by it or any of its affiliates.

(e) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates may acquire or sell obligations or securities, for its own account or for the accounts of its customers, without either requiring or precluding the acquisition or sale of such obligations or securities for the account of the Issuer. Such investments may be the same or different from those made on behalf of the Issuer. In the event that, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to acquire the same Collateral Obligation both for the Issuer and either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or another client of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager will allocate the executions among the accounts in an equitable manner in accordance with the Internal Policies of the Collateral Manager. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager and its affiliates may enter into, for their own accounts or for the accounts of others, credit default swaps relating to Obligors and issuers with respect to the Collateral Obligations included in the Assets. The Issuer acknowledges that other funds or investment accounts managed by the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates may require the Collateral Manager or such affiliates to apply a different valuation methodology in valuing specific investments than the valuation methodology set forth in the Transaction Documents for the Issuer. As a result of such different methodology, the value of certain investments held in such separately managed funds or accounts may differ from the value assigned to the same investments held by the Issuer under the Transaction Documents.

Section 4. Additional Activities of the Collateral Manager.

Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates from engaging in other businesses, or from rendering services of any kind to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser, the Placement Agent, any holder or beneficial owner of a Note or their respective affiliates or any other Person regardless of whether such business is in competition with the Issuer or otherwise. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, partners, members, shareholders, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the Collateral Manager, affiliates of the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager may:

(a) serve as managers or directors (whether supervisory or managing), officers, employees, partners, agents, nominees or signatories for the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof, or for

13

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

any Obligor or issuer in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities or Eligible Investments or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent permitted by their respective Organizational Instruments and Underlying Instruments, as from time to time amended, or by any resolutions duly adopted by the Issuer, its affiliates or any Obligor or issuer in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or Equity Securities (or any Affiliate thereof) pursuant to their respective Organizational Instruments;

(b) receive fees for loan origination or services of whatever nature rendered to the Obligor or issuer in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or Equity Securities or any Affiliate thereof;

(c) be retained to provide services unrelated to this Agreement to the Issuer or its affiliates and be paid therefor, on an arm’s-length basis;

(d) be a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold a debt obligation of or equity interest in, the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof or any Obligor or issuer of any Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment or Equity Security or any Affiliate thereof;

(e) subject to Section 3(b) and Section 5, sell any Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment to, or purchase or acquire any Collateral Obligation or Equity Security or Eligible Investment from, the Issuer while acting in the capacity of principal or agent;

(f) underwrite, arrange, structure, originate, syndicate, act as a distributor of or make a market in any Collateral Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment and receive fees and other compensation from the Issuer and other parties in connection therewith;

(g) serve as a member of any “creditors’ board,” “creditors’ committee” or similar creditor group with respect to any Collateral Obligation (including any Defaulted Obligation), Eligible Investment or Equity Security; or

(h) act as collateral manager, portfolio manager, investment manager and/or investment adviser or sub-adviser in collateralized bond obligation vehicles, collateralized loan obligation vehicles and other similar warehousing, financing or other investment vehicles.

As a result, such individuals may possess information relating to Obligors and issuers of Collateral Obligations that is (i) not known to or (ii) known but restricted as to its use by the individuals at the Collateral Manager responsible for monitoring the Collateral Obligations and performing the other obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement. Each of such ownership and other relationships may result in securities laws restrictions on transactions in such securities by the Issuer and otherwise create conflicts of interest for the Issuer. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, in all such instances, the Collateral Manager and its affiliates may in their discretion make investment recommendations and decisions that may be the same as or different from those made with respect to the Issuer’s investments and they have no duty, in making or managing such investments, to act in a way that is favorable to the Issuer.

14

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

The Issuer acknowledges that there are generally no ethical screens or information barriers among the Collateral Manager and certain of its affiliates of the type that many firms implement to separate Persons who make investment decisions from others who might possess applicable material, non-public information. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager may be prevented from causing the Issuer to transact in certain assets due to internal restrictions imposed on the Collateral Manager regarding the possession and use of material and/or non-public information.

Unless the Collateral Manager determines in its sole discretion that such Transaction complies with the provisions of Section 5, the Collateral Manager will not direct the Trustee to acquire or sell securities issued by (i) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, any of its affiliates or any of its officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, (ii) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, or any of its respective affiliates act as principal or (iii) Persons about which the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates have material non-public information which the Collateral Manager deems would prohibit it from advising as to the trading of such securities in accordance with applicable law.

It is understood that the Collateral Manager and any of its affiliates may engage in any other business and furnish investment management and advisory services to others, including Persons which may have investment policies similar to those followed by the Collateral Manager with respect to the Assets and which may own securities or obligations of the same class, or which are of the same type, as the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments or other securities or obligations of the Obligors or issuers of the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments. The Collateral Manager will be free, in its sole discretion, to make recommendations to others, or effect transactions on behalf of itself or for others, which may be the same as or different from those effected with respect to the Assets. Nothing in the Indenture and this Agreement shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates, acting either as principal or agent on behalf of others, from buying or selling, or from recommending to or directing any other account to buy or sell, at any time, securities or obligations of the same kind or class, or securities or obligations of a different kind or class of the same Obligor or issuer, as those directed by the Collateral Manager to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Issuer. It is understood that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Manager, its Owners, their affiliates or their respective Related Persons or any member of their families or a Person advised by the Collateral Manager may have an interest in a particular transaction or in securities or obligations of the same kind or class, or securities or obligations of a different kind or class of the same issuer, as those whose purchase or sale the Collateral Manager may direct hereunder. In the event that, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to purchase the same Collateral Obligation both for the Issuer, and either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or another client of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager will employ allocation procedures consistent with such procedures as may be in place from time to time. The Issuer agrees that, in the course of managing the Collateral Obligations held by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager may consider its relationships with other Clients (including Obligors and issuers) and its affiliates. The Collateral Manager may decline to make a particular investment for the Issuer in view of such relationships.

The Issuer agrees that neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its affiliates is under any obligation to offer all investment opportunities of which they become aware to the Issuer or to account to the Issuer for (or share with the Issuer or inform the Issuer of) any such transaction or any benefit received by them from any such transaction. The Issuer understands that the Collateral Manager and/or its affiliates may have, for their own accounts or for the accounts of others, portfolios with substantially the same portfolio criteria as are applicable to the Issuer. Furthermore, the Collateral Manager and/or its affiliates may make an investment on behalf of any Client or on their own behalf without offering the investment opportunity or making any investment on behalf of the Issuer and, accordingly, investment opportunities may not be allocated among all such Clients. The Issuer acknowledges that affirmative obligations may arise in the future, whereby the Collateral Manager and/or its affiliates are obligated to offer certain investments to Clients before or without the Collateral Manager’s offering those investments to the Issuer. The Issuer agrees that the Collateral Manager may make investments on behalf of the Issuer in securities or obligations that it has declined to invest in or enter into for its own account, the account of any of the Collateral Manager or its affiliates or the account of any other Client.

The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager and its affiliates may make and/or hold investments in an Obligor’s or issuer’s obligations or securities that may be pari passu, senior or junior in ranking to an investment in such Obligor’s or issuer’s obligations or securities made and/or held by the Issuer, or otherwise have interests different from or adverse to those of the Issuer.

Section 5. Conflicts of Interest.

Any transaction effected by the Issuer in connection with the acquisition, disposition or substitution of any Asset shall be conducted on an arm’s length basis and, if effected with a Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager (or with an account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as investment adviser), shall be effected on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated.

Section 6. Records; Confidentiality.

The Collateral Manager shall maintain or cause to be maintained appropriate books of account and records relating to its services performed hereunder, and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by representatives of the Issuer, the Trustee, the holders, and the Independent accountants appointed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Article X of the Indenture at any time during normal business hours and upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice. The Collateral Manager shall keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose any such information to non-affiliated third parties (excluding any holders and beneficial owners of the Notes) except (a) with the prior written consent of the Issuer, (b) such information as the Rating Agencies shall reasonably request in connection with its rating of the Notes or supplying credit estimates on any obligation included in the Assets, (c) in connection with establishing trading or investment accounts or otherwise in connection with effecting Transactions on behalf of the Issuer, (d) as required by (i) applicable law, regulation, court order, or a request by a governmental regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager or any of its

16

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

affiliates or (ii) the rules or regulations of any self-regulating organization, body or official having jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates, (e) to its professional advisors (including, without limitation, legal, tax and accounting advisors), (f) such information as shall have been publicly disclosed other than in known violation of this Agreement or the provisions of the Indenture or shall have been obtained by the Collateral Manager on a non-confidential basis, (g) such information as is necessary or appropriate to disclose so that the Collateral Manager may perform its duties hereunder, under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, (h) as expressly permitted in the Final Offering Circular, in the Indenture or in any other Transaction Document, (i) in connection with any regulatory filing that the Collateral Manager is required to make or (j) general performance information which may be used by the Collateral Manager, its affiliates or Owners in connection with their marketing activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that the Collateral Manager may disclose (A) that it is serving as collateral manager of the Issuer, (B) the nature, aggregate principal amount and overall performance of the Assets, (C) the amount of earnings on the Assets, (D) such other information about the Issuer, the Assets and the Notes as is customarily disclosed by managers of collateralized loan obligations and (E) each of its respective employees, representatives or other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States federal income tax treatment and United States federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, this Agreement and the related documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such United States federal income tax treatment and United States income tax structure. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the reporting of possible violations of state or federal law or regulation to or otherwise responding to or cooperating with an investigation by any governmental agency or entity, including the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal, state or local law or regulation.

Section 7. Obligations of Collateral Manager.

In accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard, the Collateral Manager shall (a) take care to avoid taking any action that would (i) materially adversely affect the status of the Issuer for purposes of United States federal or state law, or other law applicable to the Issuer, (ii) not be permitted by the Issuer’s Organizational Instruments, copies of which the Collateral Manager acknowledges the Issuer has provided to the Collateral Manager, (iii) violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer, including, without limitation, actions which would violate any United States federal, state or other applicable securities law that is known by the Collateral Manager to be applicable to it and, in each case, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer or have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder, (iv) require registration of the Issuer or the pool of Assets as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act, (v) cause the Issuer to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (vi) knowingly and willfully adversely affect the interests of the Issuer in the Assets in any material respect (other than (A) as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Indenture or (B) in connection with any action taken in the ordinary course of business of the Collateral Manager in accordance with its fiduciary duties to its clients) and (b) comply in all material respects with

17

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

requirements of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules applicable to it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement and the Indenture, in each case, except in such instances in which (i) such requirement, order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (ii) failure to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer or a material adverse effect on the ability of the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Indenture. If the Collateral Manager is ordered by the sole member of the Issuer or the requisite holders or beneficial owners of the Notes to take any action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, in each case in its reasonable business judgment, have any such consequences, the Collateral Manager shall promptly notify the Issuer that such action would, or could reasonably be expected to, in each case in its reasonable business judgment, have one or more of the consequences set forth above and shall not take such action unless the sole member of the Issuer then requests the Collateral Manager to do so and both a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes have consented thereto in writing. Notwithstanding any such request, the Collateral Manager shall not take such action unless (1) arrangements satisfactory to it are made to insure or indemnify the Collateral Manager, affiliates of the Collateral Manager and members, shareholders, partners, managers, directors, officers or employees of the Collateral Manager or such affiliates from any liability and expense it may incur as a result of such action and (2) if the Collateral Manager so requests in respect of a question of law, the Issuer delivers to the Collateral Manager an Opinion of Counsel (from outside counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Manager) that the action so requested does not violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer or over the Collateral Manager. Neither the Collateral Manager nor its affiliates, shareholders, partners, members, managers, directors, officers or employees shall be liable to the Issuer or any other Person, except as provided in Section 10. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any indemnification or insurance by the Issuer provided for in this Section 7 or Section 10 shall be payable out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and the Collateral Manager may take into account such Priority of Payments in determining whether any proposed indemnity arrangements contemplated by this Section 7 are satisfactory.

So long as the Secured Notes are Outstanding, the Collateral Manager will directly or indirectly own 100% of the Outstanding Subordinated Notes (through its ownership of the U.S. Retention Holder) and will not cause the transfer such Subordinated Notes unless it receives, in connection with any proposed transfer, written advice of counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States that is experienced in such matters to the effect that such proposed transfer will not require the Collateral Manager to register as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act.

Section 8. Compensation.

(a) As compensation for the performance of its obligations as Collateral Manager under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager will be entitled to receive a fee on each Payment Date (in accordance with the Priority of Payments), which consists of the Collateral Management Fee (the “Collateral Management Fee”). The Collateral Management Fee will accrue quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date (prorated for the related Interest Accrual Period), in an amount equal to (i) for so long as MFIC is the Collateral Manager, 0.00% per annum (calculated on the basis of the

18

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

actual number of days in the applicable Collection Period divided by 360) of the Fee Basis Amount, or (ii) if MFIC is no longer the Collateral Manager, 0.10%, per annum (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Collection Period divided by 360) of the Fee Basis Amount at the beginning of the Collection Period relating to such Payment Date.

The Collateral Management Fee is payable on each Payment Date only to the extent that sufficient Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds are available. To the extent the Collateral Management Fee is not paid on any Payment Date when due and such fee was not voluntarily deferred or waived (the “Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount”), or the Collateral Manager elects to defer all or a portion thereof and later rescinds such deferral election, the Collateral Management Fee will be deferred and will be payable on subsequent Payment Dates in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Interest on the Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount shall accrue at the Prime Rate for the period beginning on the first Payment Date on which the related Collateral Management Fee was due (and not paid) through the Payment Date on which such Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount (including accrued interest) is paid.

At the option of the Collateral Manager, by written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date, on each Payment Date, (i) all or a portion of the Collateral Management Fees or the Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount (including accrued interest) due and owing on such Payment Date may be deferred for payment on a subsequent Payment Date, without interest (the “Current Deferred Management Fee”); and (ii) all or a portion of the previously deferred Collateral Management Fees or Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount (including accrued interest prior to the Payment Date on which the payment of such Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount was deferred by the Collateral Manager) (collectively, the “Cumulative Deferred Management Fee”) may be declared due and payable (to the extent there are sufficient Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds therefor and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 11.1(a)(i)(B) and 11.1(a)(ii)(A) of the Indenture). At such time as the Notes are redeemed in connection with an Optional Redemption (unless Refinancing Proceeds are being used to redeem the Notes in whole or in part), a Tax Redemption or a Clean-Up Call Redemption, without duplication, all accrued and unpaid Collateral Management Fees, Current Deferred Management Fees, Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts (including accrued interest), and Cumulative Deferred Management Fees (the “Aggregate Collateral Management Fee”) shall be due and payable to the Collateral Manager.

(b) The Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to), elect to defer or irrevocably waive all or a portion of the Collateral Management Fee, payable to the Collateral Manager on any Payment Date. Any such election shall be made by the Collateral Manager delivering written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date (or such later time and date as may be consented to by the Trustee). Any election to defer or irrevocably waive the Collateral Management Fee may also take the form of written standing instructions to the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee; provided that, such standing instructions may be rescinded by written notice delivered to the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee by the Collateral Manager at any time except during the period between a Determination Date and Payment Date (except as may be consented to by the Trustee). Any such Collateral

19

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

Management Fee so deferred with respect to which the Collateral Manager later rescinds such deferral by delivering written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee not later than the Determination Date immediately preceding the related Payment Date (or such later time and date as may be consented to by the Trustee), shall be payable on such Payment Date (and, if necessary, subsequent Payment Dates) in accordance with the Priority of Payments without interest.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein and in the Indenture, the Collateral Manager will continue to serve as collateral manager under this Agreement notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager will not have received amounts due it under this Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or if the Collateral Manager resigns or is removed, (i) Collateral Management Fees shall be prorated for any partial period elapsing from the last Payment Date on which such Collateral Manager received the Collateral Management Fee to the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal and (ii) any unpaid Cumulative Deferred Management Fees, Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount (including related interest) shall be determined as of the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal and, in each case, shall be due and payable on each Payment Date following the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal in accordance with the Priority of Payments until paid in full. Otherwise, such resigning or removed Collateral Manager shall not be entitled to any further compensation for further services under this Agreement but shall be entitled to receive any expense reimbursement accrued to the effective date of termination, resignation or removal and any indemnity amounts owing (or that may become owing) as set forth under Section 10. Any Aggregate Collateral Management Fee, expense reimbursement and indemnities owed to such Collateral Manager or owed to any successor Collateral Manager on any Payment Date shall be paid pro rata based on the amount thereof then owing to each such Person, subject to the Priority of Payments.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Collateral Manager’s services hereunder terminate, other than by reason of an involuntary termination not for Cause, then the terminating Collateral Manager shall not be entitled to any deferred Collateral Management Fee on any Payment Date following the date of such termination.

(f) The Issuer shall be entitled to perform any tax withholding or reporting that may be required by law in respect of payments to the Collateral Manager hereunder.

Section 9. Benefit of the Agreement.

The Collateral Manager shall perform its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Indenture applicable to it. The Collateral Manager agrees and consents to the provisions contained in Section 15.1 of the Indenture. In addition, the Collateral Manager acknowledges the pledge of this Agreement under the granting clause of the Indenture.

Section 10. Limits of Collateral Manager Responsibility.

(a) None of the Collateral Manager, its affiliates, its Owners or their respective Related Persons assumes any responsibility under this Agreement other than the Collateral Manager agrees to render the services required to be performed by it hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture applicable to it. The Collateral Manager shall not be responsible for any action or inaction of the Issuer or the Trustee in following or declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager including as set forth in Section 7. The Indemnified Parties (as defined below) shall not be liable to the Issuer, the Trustee, any holder, any beneficial owner of Notes, the Initial Purchaser, the Placement Agent, any of their respective affiliates, Owners or Related Persons or any other Persons for any act, omission, error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any claim, loss, liability, damage, judgments, assessments, settlement, cost, or other expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of any investment, or for any other act or omission in the performance of the Collateral Manager’s obligations under or in connection with this Agreement or the terms of any other Transaction Document applicable to the Collateral Manager, incurred as a result of actions taken or recommended or for any omissions of the Collateral Manager, or for any decrease in the value of the Assets, except for liability to which the Collateral Manager would be subject (i) by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture or (ii) with respect to the Collateral Manager Information, as of the date made, such information containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 10 as “Collateral Manager Breaches”). The Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any consequential, punitive, exemplary or treble damages or lost profits hereunder or under the Indenture. The Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates may consult with counsel, independent accountants or any other experts selected by them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them in accordance with their advice. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive any liability which cannot be waived under applicable state or federal law or any rules or regulations adopted thereunder.

(b) The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager, its affiliates and Owners and their respective Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) and will promptly reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the issuance of the Notes (including, without limitation, any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Final Offering Circular, or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), the transactions contemplated by the Final Offering Circular, the Indenture or this Agreement and any acts or omissions of any such Indemnified Party; provided that, such Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified for any Losses or Expenses incurred as a result of any Collateral Manager Breach. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under this Section 10 to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Losses

21

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

or Expenses are non-recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no provision herein shall be construed so as to provide for the indemnification or exculpation of any party (including, the Collateral Manager or its affiliates) for any liability (including liability under U.S. federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification or exculpation would be in violation of applicable law, but shall instead be construed so as to effectuate such provision to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(c) It is understood that certain provisions of this Agreement may serve to limit the potential liability of the Collateral Manager. The Issuer has had the opportunity to consult with the Collateral Manager as well as, if desired, its professional advisors and legal counsel as to the effect of these provisions. It is further understood that certain applicable laws may impose liability or allow for legal remedies even where the Collateral Manager has acted in good faith and that the rights under those laws may be non-waivable. Nothing in this Agreement shall, in any way, constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which may not be so limited or waived in accordance with applicable law.

(d) The Collateral Manager does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Collateral Manager have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Term SOFR Rate,” “Benchmark,” “Fallback Rate” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative, replacement, rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including, without limitation, any Base Rate Modifier) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any supplemental indenture pursuant to clause (xxix) of Section 8.1(a) of the Indenture.

(e) The Collateral Manager shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and/or the Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, pandemics, epidemics, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

Section 11. No Joint Venture.

The Issuer and the Collateral Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. The Collateral Manager shall be deemed, for all purposes herein, an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Indenture or authorized by the Issuer from time to time, have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer. It is acknowledged that neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its affiliates has provided or shall provide any tax, accounting or legal advice or assistance to the Issuer or any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12. Term; Termination.

22

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

(a) This Agreement shall commence as of the date first set forth above and shall continue in force until the first of the following occurs: (i) the final liquidation of the Assets and the final distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation to the holders, (ii) the payment in full of the Notes, and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with its terms or (iii) the early termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(b) or (e) or Section 14.

(b) Subject only to clause (c) below, the Collateral Manager may resign, upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer (or such shorter notice as is acceptable to the Issuer) and the Trustee; provided that, the Collateral Manager shall have the right to resign immediately upon the effectiveness of any material change in applicable law or regulations which renders the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties hereunder or under the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (b) above, no resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager or termination of this Agreement pursuant to such clause shall be effective until the date as of which a successor collateral manager shall have been appointed and approved in accordance with Section 12(d) and has accepted all of the Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement in writing (an “Instrument of Acceptance”) and has assumed such duties and obligations.

(d) Promptly after notice of any removal under Section 14 or any resignation of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer shall transmit copies of notice of such resignation or removal to the Trustee (which shall forward a copy of such notice to the holders) and the Rating Agencies and shall appoint an institution as Collateral Manager, at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, which institution (i) has demonstrated an ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager hereunder, (ii) is legally qualified and has the capacity to assume all of the responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder and under the applicable terms of the Indenture, (iii) does not cause the Issuer to become, or require the pool of Assets to be registered as, an investment company under the 1940 Act, (iv) does not cause the Issuer to become subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, (v) has been identified in a prior written notice provided to the Rating Agencies, and (vi) has been approved by a Majority of the Controlling Class.

If a Majority of the Subordinated Notes approves such Controlling Class nominee, such nominee shall become the Collateral Manager. If no successor collateral manager is appointed within 90 days (or, in the event of a change in applicable law or regulation which renders the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation, within 30 days) following the termination or resignation of the Collateral Manager, any of the resigning or removed Collateral Manager, a Majority of the Subordinated Notes

23

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

(disregarding Collateral Manager Notes, unless 100% of the Subordinated Notes are Collateral Manager Notes) and a Majority of the Controlling Class (disregarding Collateral Manager Notes) shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor collateral manager, in either such case whose appointment shall become effective after such successor has accepted its appointment and without the consent of any holder or beneficial owner of any Note.

(f) The successor collateral manager shall be entitled to the Collateral Management Fee set forth in Section 8(a) and no compensation payable to such successor collateral manager shall be greater than as set forth in Section 8(a) without the prior written consent of 100% of the holders of each Class of Notes voting separately by Class, including Collateral Manager Notes. Upon the later of the expiration of the applicable notice periods with respect to termination specified in this Section 12 or in Section 14 and the acceptance of its appointment hereunder by the successor collateral manager, all authority and power of the Collateral Manager hereunder, whether with respect to the Assets or otherwise, shall automatically and without action by any Person pass to and be vested in the successor collateral manager. The Issuer, the Trustee and the successor collateral manager shall take such action (or the Issuer shall cause the outgoing Collateral Manager to take such action) consistent with this Agreement and as shall be necessary to effect any such succession.

(g) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in clause (i) below.

(h) Sections 6, 7 (with respect to any indemnity or insurance provided thereunder), 10, 15, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 25 shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 or Section 14.

(i) In connection with any vote under this Agreement, in determining whether the holders of the requisite Aggregate Outstanding Amount have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or made any proposal, if Collateral Manager Notes are disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding in connection with such vote and a Class of Notes entitled to vote is comprised entirely of Collateral Manager Notes, then the most senior Class of Notes that is not comprised entirely of Collateral Manager Notes shall be entitled to exercise the specified voting rights, disregarding any Collateral Manager Notes, in lieu of such other Class of Notes.

Section 13. Assignments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(e) or this Section 13, the Collateral Manager may not assign or delegate, its rights or responsibilities under this Agreement without (i) providing prior written notice to the Rating Agencies and (ii) obtaining the consent of the Issuer and the consent of (voting separately) a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes.

(b) The Collateral Manager may, without obtaining the consent of any holder or beneficial owner of any Note and without obtaining the prior consent of the Issuer, (i) assign any

24

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32491265.2

of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager; provided that, such Affiliate (A) has demonstrated ability, whether as an entity or by its personnel, to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement, (B) has the legal right and capacity to act as Collateral Manager under this Agreement, and (C) shall not cause the Issuer or the pool of Assets to become required to register under the provisions of the 1940 Act or (ii) enter into (or have its parent enter into) any consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity if (A) at the time of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement generally (whether by operation of law or by contract) and the other entity is solely a continuation of the Collateral Manager in another corporate or similar form and has substantially the same personnel and (B) such action does not cause the Issuer to be subject to tax on a net income basis in any jurisdiction; provided further that, the Collateral Manager shall deliver prior notice to the Rating Agencies of any assignment, delegation or combination made pursuant to this sentence. Upon the execution and delivery of any such assignment by the assignee, the Collateral Manager will be released from further obligations pursuant to this Agreement except with respect to its obligations and agreements arising under Section 10, 12(i), 17, 21 through 23 and 25 in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to such assignment and except with respect to its obligations under Section 15 after such assignment.

The Issuer has assigned its rights, title and interest in (but not its obligations under) this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and the Collateral Manager by its signature below agrees to, and acknowledges, such assignment. Upon assignment by the Issuer, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such assignee to execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager such documents as the Collateral Manager shall consider reasonably necessary to effect fully such assignment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Collateral Manager may (in its sole discretion), at any time and without the consent of any Person, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or delegate its rights or responsibilities under this Agreement to Apollo Investment Management, L.P. or any of its Affiliates.

(iii) the failure of any representation, warranty, certification or statement made or delivered by the Collateral Manager in or pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture to be correct in any material respect when made which failure (A) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer and (B) is not corrected by the Collateral Manager within 30 days of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving notice of such failure, unless if such failure is remediable, the Collateral Manager has taken action commencing the cure thereof within such 30 day period that the Collateral Manager believes in good faith will remedy such failure within 60 days after the earlier to occur of a Responsible Officer receiving notice thereof or having actual knowledge thereof;

(iv) the Collateral Manager is wound up or dissolved or there is appointed over it or a substantial part of its assets a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer; or the Collateral Manager (A) ceases to be able to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or enters into any composition or arrangement with, its creditors generally; (B) applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or

(v) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or (b) under the Indenture that results primarily from any material breach by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or under the Indenture which breach or default is not cured within any applicable cure period; or

(vi) (A) the occurrence of an act by the Collateral Manager that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (as determined pursuant to a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction) or the indictment of the Collateral Manager for a criminal offense materially related to its business of providing asset management services, or (B) any Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager primarily responsible for the performance by the Collateral Manager of its obligations under this Agreement, is indicted for a criminal offense materially related to the business of the Collateral Manager providing asset management services, and such Responsible Officer continues to have responsibility for the performance by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement for a period of 20 days after such indictment.

(b) If any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (vi) of this Section 14 shall occur, upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof the Collateral Manager shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Controlling Class, the Subordinated Notes, the Trustee, and the Rating Agencies; provided that, if any of the events specified in Section 14(a)(iv) shall occur, the Collateral Manager shall give written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Rating Agencies immediately upon the Collateral Manager’s becoming aware of the occurrence of such event. A Majority of each Class of Notes (voting separately by Class), disregarding Collateral Manager Notes, may waive any event described in Section 14(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) as a basis for termination of this Agreement and removal of the Collateral Manager under this Section 14.

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

the purchase price relating to such transfer, the difference shall be deemed a capital contribution from the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer on the Closing Date.

(d) Subsequent Transfers. Each of the Transferor, the U.S. Retention Holder and the Issuer agrees and acknowledges that (i) the U.S. Retention Holder may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, acquire Additional Collateral Obligations and related Assets with respect thereto (the “Additional Conveyed Collateral”) from the Transferor and the Issuer may, as permitted under the Indenture and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, acquire the Additional Conveyed Collateral from the U.S. Retention Holder, and (ii) the Issuer may acquire from the U.S. Retention Holder, the U.S. Retention Holder may acquire from the Transferor, as permitted under the Indenture and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Substitute Collateral Obligations and any related Assets as set forth in Section 2.5 and the Indenture with respect thereto (the “Substitute Conveyed Collateral” and, together with the Additional Conveyed Collateral, the “Subsequent Conveyed Collateral”), in each case pursuant to a Subsequent Transfer Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, duly executed by each of the Transferor, the U.S. Retention Holder and the Issuer (each such agreement, a “Subsequent Transfer Agreement”). The parties hereto agree that each such Subsequent Transfer Agreement will be deemed to become part of this Agreement as of the date of its execution (each such date, a “Cut-Off Date”) without further amendment hereof, provided that any sale of Subsequent Conveyed Collateral shall be effective as of the Settlement Date specified in such Subsequent Transfer Agreement. The purchase price paid by the U.S. Retention Holder for any Subsequent Conveyed Collateral shall be an amount equal to the U.S. Retention Holder Purchase Price with respect thereto and the purchase price paid by the Issuer for any Subsequent Conveyed Collateral shall be an amount equal to the Issuer Purchase Price with respect thereto.

(e) Each of the Transferor, the U.S. Retention Holder and the Issuer agrees that (i) the representations, warranties and covenants of the Transferor and the U.S. Retention Holder set forth herein will run to and be for the benefit of the U.S. Retention Holder, the Issuer and the Trustee, as applicable, and (ii) either the Issuer or the Trustee may enforce, directly without joinder of the U.S. Retention Holder, the repurchase obligations of the Transferor with respect to breaches of such representations, warranties and covenants as set forth herein. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties is a third party beneficiary of such representations, warranties and covenants. By its signature below, the Trustee hereby acknowledges such rights granted to it hereunder.

(f) Each of the Transferor, the U.S. Retention Holder and the Issuer intends and agrees that (i) the transfer of the Conveyed Collateral by the Transferor to the U.S. Retention Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and the transfer of the Conveyed Collateral by the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement is, in each and every case, intended to be an absolute sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of the applicable Conveyed Collateral rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a financing and (ii) such Conveyed Collateral shall not be part of the Transferor’s or the U.S. Retention Holder’s respective estate in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against such Person under any Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, any of such transfers are deemed to secure indebtedness, the Transferor hereby Grants to the U.S. Retention Holder and the U.S. Retention Holder hereby Grants to the Issuer, as the case may be, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under such Conveyed Collateral

7

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

(whether now existing or hereafter created) and the Issuer hereby further Grants such security interest to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. For such purposes, this Agreement shall constitute (and hereby does constitute) a security agreement under the UCC, securing the repayment of the purchase price paid hereunder and the obligations or interests represented by the Notes, in the order and priorities specified in, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, this Agreement and the Indenture, together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto.

(g) If any such transfer of Conveyed Collateral by the Transferor to the U.S. Retention Holder (whether Initial Conveyed Collateral transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Subsequent Conveyed Collateral transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(d)) is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a financing, the U.S. Retention Holder may, to secure the U.S. Retention Holder’s own obligations under this Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of Conveyed Collateral by the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer hereunder is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a financing), repledge and reassign to the Issuer (and the Issuer may further repledge and reassign to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) (i) all or a portion of the Conveyed Collateral pledged to the U.S. Retention Holder by the Transferor and with respect to which the U.S. Retention Holder has not released its security interest at the time of such pledge and assignment and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made with or without a repledge and reassignment by the U.S. Retention Holder of its rights under any agreement with the Transferor, and without further notice to or acknowledgement from the Transferor. The Transferor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the U.S. Retention Holder or any assignee relating to such repledge and reassignment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Transferor and the U.S. Retention Holder shall file or shall cause to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement and UCC-3 financing statement amendments, as necessary, naming the Transferor as debtor, the U.S. Retention Holder as secured party, the Issuer as assignee and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as re-assignee listing all of the Conveyed Collateral pledged hereunder as collateral thereunder.

(h) [Reserved]

(i) If any such transfer of Conveyed Collateral by the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer (whether Initial Conveyed Collateral transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or Subsequent Conveyed Collateral transferred pursuant to Section 2.1(d)) is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a financing, the Issuer may, to secure the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture, repledge and reassign to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (i) all or a portion of the Conveyed Collateral pledged to the Issuer by the U.S. Retention Holder and with respect to which the Issuer has not released its security interest at the time of such pledge and assignment and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made with or without a repledge and reassignment by the Issuer of its rights under any agreement with the U.S. Retention Holder, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from the U.S. Retention Holder. The U.S. Retention Holder hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Issuer or any assignee relating to such repledge or reassignment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The

8

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

Issuer and the U.S. Retention Holder shall file or shall cause to be filed a UCC-1 financing statement and UCC-3 financing statement amendments, as necessary, naming the U.S. Retention Holder as debtor, the Issuer as secured party and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties as assignee, listing all of the Conveyed Collateral pledged hereunder as collateral thereunder.

(j) To the extent that (i) the consideration received by the Transferor from the U.S. Retention Holder in exchange for any Conveyed Collateral and (ii) the consideration received by the U.S. Retention Holder from the Issuer for any Conveyed Collateral is less than the fair market value of such Conveyed Collateral, the difference between such fair market value and the consideration so received shall be deemed to be a capital contribution by the Transferor to the U.S. Retention Holder (in the case of clause (i) above and by the U.S. Retention Holder to the issuer in the case of clause (ii) above), made on the related Settlement Date with respect to such Conveyed Collateral. For all purposes of this Agreement, any contributed Conveyed Collateral shall be treated the same as the Conveyed Collateral sold for cash or other property.

(k) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the Issuer, so long as the applicable conditions set forth in the Indenture are met, may also purchase Collateral Obligations that are not Originated Collateral Obligations directly from the seller thereof in a secondary market purchase.

Section 2.2. Conveyance of Initial Conveyed Collateral.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Transferor or the U.S. Retention Holder, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee each of the documents, certificates and other items as follows:

12

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with (a) the acquisition of a Collateral Obligation as a lender at the closing thereof may be executed and delivered directly by the Issuer at the direction of the Transferor or of the U.S. Retention Holder or (b) the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of related Underlying Instruments may reflect that the Transferor or the U.S. Retention Holder (or any affiliate thereof or any third party from whom the Transferor or the U.S. Retention Holder, as applicable, may purchase a Collateral Obligation) is assigning such Collateral Obligation directly to the Issuer.

(o) Investment Company Act. The U.S. Retention Holder is not required to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

Section 3.6. Additional Representations and Warranties of the U.S. Retention Holder.

By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the U.S. Retention Holder additionally represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or the related Settlement Date, as applicable, that:

(a) Security Interest.

(i) In the event that the conveyance by the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer of any Conveyed Collateral is determined not to be an absolute transfer, this Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Issuer a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in all of the right, title and interest of the U.S. Retention Holder in, to and under such Conveyed Collateral, which security interest is perfected and is prior to all other liens (other than Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against, all creditors of and purchasers from the U.S. Retention Holder.

(ii) Each Collateral Obligation conveyed hereunder constitutes or is evidenced by a Financial Asset, an Instrument, a Certificated Security or a general intangible (as defined in the UCC).

(iii) Upon the conveyance by the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer of any Conveyed Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Issuer will own such Conveyed Collateral free and clear of any and all liens, claims or encumbrances created by, or attaching to property of, the U.S. Retention Holder (other than Permitted Liens).

(iv) The U.S. Retention Holder has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Conveyed Collateral to the conveyance of such Conveyed Collateral hereunder to the Issuer.

(v) The U.S. Retention Holder has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in such Conveyed Collateral granted to the Issuer under this Agreement to the extent perfection can be achieved by filing a financing statement.

21

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

(vi) Other than the conveyance to the Issuer and the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Retention Holder has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of such Conveyed Collateral. The U.S. Retention Holder has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the U.S. Retention Holder that include a description of such Conveyed Collateral other than any financing statement that has been terminated in its entirety or released as to such Conveyed Collateral. The U.S. Retention Holder is not aware of the filing of any judgment, employee benefit or tax lien filings against it.

(vii) On or prior to the Closing Date (with respect to the Initial Collateral Obligations) and within ten (10) Business Days after the related Settlement Date (with respect to any Subsequent Conveyed Collateral), copies (or originals, if required by the definition of “Required Loan Documents”) of the Required Loan Documents have been delivered to the Custodian.

(viii) None of the Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence the Conveyed Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer or in blank or to the Trustee (or if any marks or notations, the Underlying Note has an unbroken chain of endorsements from the prior holder(s) thereof, if any, evidenced in the chain of endorsements in blank or to the Trustee, subject to Section 2.5).

(b) Value Given. The cash payments and the receipt of any Notes issued by the Issuer to the U.S. Retention Holder on the Closing Date (and the corresponding increase in the U.S. Retention Holder’s equity interest in the Issuer represented by the Subordinated Notes) received by the U.S. Retention Holder in respect of the purchase price (and capital contribution) of all Conveyed Collateral conveyed hereunder constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the conveyance to the Issuer of such Conveyed Collateral under this Agreement, such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Issuer to the U.S. Retention Holder, and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject to avoidance under any Insolvency Law.

Section 3.7. Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.

By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Issuer represents and warrants to the U.S. Retention Holder and the Transferor that:

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Issuer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the full power and authority to own its assets and the securities proposed to be owned by it and included in the Assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged and is duly qualified under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property, the conduct of its business or the performance of this Agreement, the Indenture, the LLC Agreement and the Notes require such qualification, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified, authorized or licensed would not have a material adverse effect on the Issuer.

22

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

(b) Power and Authority. The Issuer has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and all other documents and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party, as well as to carry out the terms hereof and thereof.

(c) Valid Execution; Binding Obligations. The Issuer has taken all necessary action, including but not limited to all requisite limited liability company action, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and all other documents and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party. When executed and delivered by the Issuer each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors rights in general, and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).

(d) Authorizations. All authorizations, licenses, permits, certificates, franchises, consents, approvals and undertakings which are required to be obtained by the Issuer under any applicable law which are material to (i) the conduct of its business, (ii) the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of its properties or (iii) the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, have been received and all such authorizations, licenses, permits, certificates, franchises, consents, approvals and undertakings are in full force and effect.

(e) No Violations. The execution, issuance and delivery of, and performance by the Issuer of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and any and all instruments or documents required to be executed or delivered by it pursuant to or in connection herewith or therewith were and are within the powers of the Issuer and will not violate any provision of any law, regulation, decree or governmental authorization applicable to the Issuer or its limited liability company agreement, and will not violate or cause a default under any provision of any contract, agreement, mortgage, indenture or other undertaking to which the Issuer is a party or which is binding upon the Issuer or any of its property or assets, and will not result in the imposition or creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Issuer pursuant to the provisions of any such contract, agreement, mortgage, indenture or undertaking, other than as specifically set forth in the Indenture.

(f) Litigation. There are no legal, governmental or regulatory proceedings pending to which the Issuer is a party or to which any of its property is subject, which if determined adversely to the Issuer would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Issuer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, and to the best of its knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

27

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

the Person claiming indemnification; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Transferor repurchases any loan from the U.S. Retention Holder such repurchase shall constitute the sole recourse to the Transferor for any breach of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.2. An Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Transferor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, and the Transferor shall assume (with the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the defense and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. The parties agree that the provisions of this Section 6.1 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Transferor against loss by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor or issuer with respect to a Collateral Obligation, and the Transferor does not hereby agree to maintain the solvency of the U.S. Retention Holder or of the Issuer. The Transferor shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected amounts payable under any Collateral Obligation.

Section 6.2. Liabilities to Obligors.

Except with respect to the funding commitment assumed by the Issuer with respect to any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation and customary obligations assumed by lenders in syndicated loans relating to indemnification of agents, workout expenses, and other reimbursable expenses for the preservation of collateral, the Transferor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no obligation or liability of the Transferor to any Obligor under any of the Collateral Obligations is intended to be assumed by the U.S. Retention Holder, the Issuer, the Trustee or the Noteholders under or as a result of this Agreement, any Subsequent Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Transaction Documents, and the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties is expressly named as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3. Operation of Indemnities.

If the Transferor has made any indemnity payments to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any amounts from others in connection with the same matter or matters that gave rise to such indemnity payments, such Indemnified Party will repay such amounts collected to the Transferor up to and including the amount of such indemnity payments.

Section 6.4. Limitation on Liability.

The Transferor shall be liable under this Agreement only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Transferor under this Agreement. The Transferor and any trustee, beneficial owner, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Transferor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Transferor and any trustee, beneficial owner, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Transferor shall be reimbursed by the U.S. Retention Holder or by the Issuer (subject to the availability of funds in accordance with the Priority of Payments), as applicable, for any liability or expense incurred by

28

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

reason of the U.S. Retention Holder’s or the Issuer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence (except errors in judgment) in the performance of its respective duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The Transferor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

ARTICLE VII OPTIONAL REPURCHASES

Section 7.1. Optional Repurchases.

In addition to the right to substitute for any Collateral Obligations that become subject to a Substitution Event, the Transferor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from the U.S. Retention Holder and cause the U.S. Retention Holder to repurchase from the Issuer and convey to the Transferor any such Collateral Obligation subject to the Repurchase and Substitution Limit and the applicable provisions set forth in Sections 12.3 and 12.4 of the Indenture with the consent of the Collateral Manager (so long as MidCap Financial Investment Corporation is the Collateral Manager). In the event of such a repurchase, the Transferor shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Collateral Obligation (or applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such repurchase (with the amount of the fair market value representing the outstanding principal balance of the repurchased Collateral Obligation being deposited into the Principal Collection Subaccount and the amount of the Transfer Deposit Amount representing accrued interest being deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount, regardless of whether such amounts are deemed to be capital contributions). The Transferor, the U.S. Retention Holder and the Issuer and, at the written direction of the Issuer, the Trustee, shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Transferor or by the Collateral Manager in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s and the U.S. Retention Holder’s interests in the Collateral Obligations (together with the Assets related thereto) that are being repurchased and the release thereof from the lien of the Indenture and from any security interests therein granted pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the U.S. Retention Holder in connection with such a repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the U.S. Retention Holder to the Issuer, and to the extent any cash or other property received by the U.S. Retention Holder from the Transferor in connection with such a repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the U.S. Retention Holder.

Section 7.2. Reassignment of Substituted or Repurchased Collateral Obligations.

Upon (a) receipt by the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account of the Transfer Deposit Amount, in the case of any repurchased Collateral Obligation or (b) upon the Settlement Date related to a Substitute Collateral Obligation described in Section 2.5, the Issuer hereby assigns to the U.S. Retention Holder, the U.S. Retention Holder hereby assigns to the Transferor all of the Issuer’s (or U.S. Retention Holder’s) right, title and interest in the Collateral Obligation being repurchased or substituted (together with the Assets related thereto) without recourse,

29

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=IManage Format=<<LIB>>.<<NUM>>.<<VER>> \* MERGEFORMAT BUSINESS.32498585.3

representation or warranty. Such reassigned Collateral Obligation (together with the Assets related thereto) shall no longer thereafter be deemed a part of the Assets and shall be deemed released from the security interests created by this Agreement.

Section 7.3. Repurchase and Substitution Limitations.

At all times, (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Substitute Collateral Obligations owned by the Issuer at any time since the Closing Date plus (ii) the Aggregate Principal Balance related to all Collateral Obligations that have been repurchased by the Transferor hereunder pursuant to its right of optional repurchase or substitution since the Closing Date and not subsequently applied to purchase a Substitute Collateral Obligation may not exceed an amount equal to (x) 20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance in the aggregate and (y) 10% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance in the case of Defaulted Obligations or Credit Risk Obligations repurchased following a determination by the Collateral Manager that such Collateral Obligation would with the passage of time become a Defaulted Obligation; provided that clause (ii) above shall not include (A) the Principal Balance related to any Collateral Obligation that is repurchased by the Transferor in connection with a proposed Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation so long as (x) the Transferor certifies in writing to the Collateral Manager and the Trustee that such purchase is, in the commercially reasonable business judgment of the Transferor, necessary or advisable in connection with the restructuring of such Collateral Obligation and such restructuring is expected to result in a Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation, and (y) the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to or would not elect to enter into such Specified Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of the Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement or (B) the purchase price of any Collateral Obligations or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity Securities sold by and at the option of the Issuer to the Transferor pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.1(g) of the Indenture. The foregoing provisions in this paragraph constitute the “Repurchase and Substitution Limit”.
