(b) The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from the Loans, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time hereunder.

23

(d) Each determination of an interest rate by the Calculation Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lender in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Daily Simple SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Daily Simple SOFR, the Calculation Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes in consultation with the Borrower from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Calculation Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Daily Simple SOFR.

(f) The Borrower shall pay a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) to the Lender, which shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the average daily amount by which the Commitment Amount exceeds the Principal Outstanding Amount during the immediately preceding Interest Period multiplied by (ii) the Unused Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period (including the first day but excluding the last), and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360) days.

the Calculation Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the Lender.

(b) If any of the circumstances described in Section 2.8(a) occurs, the Loan Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin for such Loan Principal Amount plus (ii) the Base Rate until the date on which such circumstances shall have ceased to exist. The Lender shall certify that cost to the Borrower as soon as practicable after the Calculation Agent’s notification of the event in question.

24

Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for the purposes of calculating interest thereon.

Section 2.10 Change in Legality; Continuation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of, or any change in, any Requirement of Law (other than solely with respect to the organizational or governing documents of the Lender) or in the interpretation or application thereof made subsequent to the Closing Date makes it unlawful for the Lender to make, maintain or fund the Commitment or the Principal Outstanding Amount as contemplated by this Agreement or shall on its face render invalid, or preclude enforcement of, any material provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (1) the Commitment shall be terminated by written notice to the Borrower (or such earlier time as may be required by the applicable Requirement of Law or interpretation or application thereof) and (2) the Principal Outstanding Amount shall be prepaid on demand with unpaid accrued interest thereon, all unpaid fees accrued to the Lender, the full unpaid amount of the Unused Commitment Fee and any other sum then due to the Lender under any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Borrower is a party, as the case may be; provided that to the extent legally permissible under the circumstances as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, Lender agrees that it will provide Borrower with a period of at least sixty (60) days following notice of such event within which the Borrower may satisfy such payment obligations. Before giving any notice to the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different branch office if the Lender determines that such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Lender.

Section 2.11 [Reserved].

Section 2.12 Increased Costs. (a) If the adoption or effectiveness of, or any change in, any Requirement of Law (other than solely with respect to the organizational or governing documents of the Lender) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent court or regulatory entity, in each case subsequent to the Closing Date, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:

(i) shall subject the Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

25

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by the Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark under this Agreement, including the imposition of any reserves with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” under Regulation D (for which purpose, the Loans shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency Liabilities and to be subject to such reserve requirements without benefit of or credit for proration, exceptions or offsets which may be available from time to time to the Lender under Regulation D); or

(iii) shall impose on the Lender or the London inter-bank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Lender is a party;

and the result of any of the foregoing is (a) to increase the cost to the Lender of maintaining the Commitment, effecting any Loan or maintaining the Principal Outstanding Amount by an amount which the Lender reasonably deems to be material, or (b) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender, as soon as practicable upon demand by the Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable hereunder.

(b) In the event that the Lender shall have determined that the adoption or effectiveness of, or any change in, any Requirement of Law (other than solely with respect to the organizational or governing documents of the Lender) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such Person could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, from time to time, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

(c) If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable (and the calculation thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.12 submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b) for any such increased cost or additional amount incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that the Lender demands compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs are retroactive, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Before requesting compensation under this Section 2.12, the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different branch office (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 in the future, and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that such compensation shall be limited as set forth in this Section 2.12.

26

(e)To the extent that the senior employees of the Lender directly responsible for administering this Agreement have actual knowledge of a change in a Requirement of Law that will result in a claim by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Lender will use reasonable efforts to promptly provide the Borrower with notice of such change in a Requirement of Law; provided that the failure to do so shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.12.

Section 2.13 Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

27

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in sub clauses (ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(1) if the Lender is a U.S. Person, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

28

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(4) if a payment made to the Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

29

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(c) The Borrower agrees that each participant of any rights hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in applicable law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 as though it were a Lender.

54

(d) If the Lender sells a participation of any rights hereunder, the Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that the Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 9.7 Set-Off; Authorization to Debit from Accounts. (a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms hereof, the Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply any amount due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (if any) (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, Indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice hereby being expressly waived by the Borrower, to debit at any time (regardless of the availability of funds) all amounts due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement from any account (in any currency) the Borrower maintains with the Lender or any branch or agency thereof; provided that any such debit (or, as the case may be, overdrawing) of any such account shall not constitute a novation or amendment of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement nor prejudice any other rights or remedies of the Lender.

Section 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Each party hereto agrees to prevent disclosure and maintain the confidentiality of all such Confidential Information; provided that, disclosure of Confidential Information (a) on a confidential basis to its affiliates in connection with the performance of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (b) on a confidential basis to a party’s or its affiliate’s professional representatives and/or advisors, (c) that is otherwise legally required to be disclosed (provided that such party shall, where reasonably practicable and legally permissible, give prior written notice of such disclosure to the extent lawfully permitted to do so) or (d) that is requested by a regulatory, self-regulatory or supervisory authority, shall be permitted.

58

Section 9.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent any of the Transaction Documents are a QFC (such Transaction Documents, the “QFC Transaction Documents”), or provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such QFC Transaction Documents, Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. In the event that a Covered Entity that is party to a QFC Transaction Document or a Supported QFC (as applicable) (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such QFC Transaction Document and/or Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (as applicable) (and any interest and obligation in or under such QFC Transaction Documents or Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (as applicable), and any rights in property securing such QFC Transaction Document, Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the QFC Transaction Document and/or Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such QFC Transaction Document, Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the QFC Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to the Lender, to the extent that it defaulted on its obligations hereunder, shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a QFC Transaction Document, Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support (as applicable).

(b) Definitions. As used in this Section 9.20, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

59

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(1) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(2) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(3) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(4) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(5) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Following the determination of the pool of Eligible Assets on such day, the Lender shall use the aggregate Value of all Eligible Assets (as adjusted for any haircuts) on such day to measure compliance with each investment guideline below. The resulting haircuts for each test below shall be aggregated and subtracted from each asset that failed to comply with the relevant guideline to determine the Adjusted Eligible Asset Value. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lender shall start with the Value of the Eligible Assets when determining compliance with the investment guidelines, and after the application of the first haircut, the Lender shall use the Adjusted Eligible Asset Value when determining compliance with the subsequent investment guidelines. The Adjusted Eligible Asset Value will be used to determine the Asset Advance Amount.

(i) Single Issuer Concentration Limit. No more than 9% of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets shall consist of obligations of a single obligor; provided that Cash and Cash Equivalents shall not be subject to such limit. Any amount in excess of such limit shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

(ii) Maximum Issuance Concentration Limit. The Borrower’s investment in any series of any bond or loan issuance shall not consist of more than 10% of the lesser of (i) the notional amount of such bond or loan issuance and (ii) the outstanding amount of such bond or loan issuance. Any amount in excess of such limit shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

(iii) BICs Industry Group Concentration Limit. No more than 20% of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets (excluding any Eligible Asset that is a Closed-End Fund) shall consist of obligations of or interests in obligors from the same industry group, as determined by the Lender by reference to the Bloomberg industry group classifications set forth on Bloomberg page “Bloomberg Industry Group Classification Systems” (“BICs Industry Group”). Any amounts in excess of such limits shall be assigned a Value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

(iv) Geographic Concentration Limit. Up to 100% of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets may consist of obligations of United States, Canada, and United Kingdom domiciled obligors. No more than 10% of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets shall consist of obligations of or interests in obligors domiciled in any individual G10 Country other than the United States, Canada or United Kingdom, and no more than 50% of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets shall consist of obligations of or interests in obligors domiciled in G10 Countries other than the United States, Canada or United Kingdom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets shall be permitted to consist of obligations of or interests in obligors domiciled Luxembourg. The country of domicile shall be based on the Country of Risk classification for each Eligible Asset as defined and published by Bloomberg; provided that, with respect to any Eligible Asset that is a Closed-End Fund, if the Country of Risk classification is not available, the country of domicile for such Closed-End Fund shall be based on the Country of Domicile as defined and published by Bloomberg to determine compliance with the foregoing country requirement. Any amount in excess of such limits shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets. Any obligations of obligors that are domiciled in countries that are not listed in this paragraph (iv) shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets, unless otherwise agreed by the Lender.

(v) Minimum Bond and Loan Price. Any bond that has a price of 65% of par or less shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets. Any loan that has a price of 65% of par or less shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

(vi) Liquidation Period. The Liquidation Period of equity securities (excluding SPACs) of a single issuer comprising the Collateral does not equal or exceed five (5) trading days. If, on any day, the Liquidation Period of equity securities (excluding SPACs) of a single issuer comprising the Collateral equals or exceeds five (5) trading days, the current market value thereof will be reduced by the Haircut Percentage specified below for purposes of determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets:

Liquidation Period | Haircut Percentage
Less than 5 trading days | 0%
5 – 9.9999 trading days | 20%
10 trading days or more | 100%

where, “Liquidation Period” means, with respect to equity securities comprising the Collateral, an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the number of shares of such equity securities and (ii)100% of the average daily trading volume of such units during the prior 90 trading days on their primary national securities exchange as determined by the Calculation Agent using data published by Bloomberg Professional Service, or another generally recognized source as agreed by the Calculation Agent and the Borrower (rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent that the prior 90-day average daily trading volume for such equity securities is unavailable on any day on such source, such average daily trading volume shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner.

(vii) Reserved.

(viii) SPAC Maximum Market Capitalization Limit. The Borrower’s investment in any single SPAC shall not consist of more than 10% of the outstanding market capitalization of such SPAC. Any amount in excess of such limit shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

(ix) SPAC Premium Cap. If the price per share of any SPAC is greater than 125% of the initial public offering price, the price in excess of 125% shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

(x) Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents shall not receive a 0% haircut for the purposes of determining the Adjusted Eligible Asset Value.

(xi) Advance Rates. The table below sets forth the “Advance Rate” that will be applied to bonds, loans, and securities with specified ratings and unrated assets (after application of the haircuts described above); provided that for purposes of determining the applicable rating, the Lender shall use the lower of the Moody’s or S&P rating.

Collateral Type1 | Rating (Moody’s/S&P) | Percentage of aggregate Value of all Eligible Assets | Advance Rate
Closed-End Funds trading at a price per share greater than $0.00 and less than $2.00 | N/A | Above 0% | 50%
N/A | Above 15% | 0%
Equity Securities trading at a price per share greater than or equal to $2.00. | N/A | Above 0% | 50%
Corporate Bonds | BBB-/Baa3 and above | Above 0% | 80%
BB-/Ba3 to BB+/Ba1 | Above 0% | 75%
B-/B3 to B+/B1 | Above 0% | 65%

1 Bonds/Loans that do not have a rating from either S&P or Moody’s shall be assigned a value of zero in determining the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets.

Collateral Type1 | Rating (Moody’s/S&P) | Percentage of aggregate Value of all Eligible Assets | Advance Rate
| CCC+/Caa1 or below | CB limit 12 or below | 50%
Above CB limit 1 and equal to or below CB limit 23 | 50%
Above CB limit 2 | 0%
First Lien Senior Secured Loans | BBB-/Baa3 and above | Above 0% | 80%
BB-/Ba3 to BB+/Ba1 | Above 0% | 75%
B-/B3 to B+/B1 | Above 0% | 65%
CCC+/Caa1 or below | Above 0% | 50%
Second Lien Senior Secured Loans | BBB-/Baa3 and above | Above 0% and less than or equal to 5% | 50%
B-/B3 and above | Above 5% | 0%
CCC+/Caa1 or below | Above 0% | 0%
All Corporate Bonds and Loans | CCC+/Caa1 or below | Above 15%4 | 0%

2 CB limit 1 equals greater of (i) zero or (ii) 10% minus the percentage of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets comprised of first lien senior secured loans rated CCC+/Caa1 or below.

3 CB limit 2 equals greater of (i) zero or (ii) 15% minus the percentage of the aggregate Value of the Eligible Assets comprised of first lien senior secured loans rated CCC+/Caa1 or below.

4 For purposes of this determination, first lien senior secured loans will be counted first.

| 2 | Portfolio Requirements

The Collateral shall at all times satisfy the following requirements (the “Portfolio Requirements”):

(i) The portfolio of Eligible Assets shall consist of Eligible Assets that have been issued or entered into by, no fewer than seventy-five (75) unaffiliated obligors; and

(ii) The portfolio of Eligible Assets shall consist of obligations of obligors from at least four (4) BICs Industry Groups, as determined by the Lender.
