CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current or prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously identified elsewhere in the reports and other documents TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance:

•

an economic downturn, or a continuation or worsening of the current global recession, could impair our portfolio companies’ abilities to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;

•

such an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the companies in which we have invested and others that we intend to target for investment, potentially causing us to experience a decrease in investment opportunities and diminished demand for capital from these companies;

•

such an economic downturn could also impact availability and pricing of our financing;

•

an inability to access the equity markets could impair our ability to raise capital and our investment activities; and,

•

the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this report and in our Form 10 filed with the SEC on January 14, 2011, as amended, and elsewhere in our filings with the SEC.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, some of those assumptions are based on the work of third parties and any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate; as a result, forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could prove to be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or any other information contained herein, except as required by applicable law. The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the 1934 Act, which preclude civil liability for certain forward-looking statements, do not apply to the forward-looking statements in this report because we are an investment company.

(1)

Unless otherwise indicated, the Company’s portfolio companies are domiciled in the United States. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Company would “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. As of September 30, 2011, the Company does not “control” any of the portfolio companies. All of our portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

(2)

Loans contain a variable rate structure. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate base rate, at the borrower’s option, which reset periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. For each such loan we have provided the interest rate in effect on the date presented. In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, the Company may be entitled to receive additional interest as a result of an arrangement between the Company and other lenders in any syndication.

(3)	The amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.

(4)

This portfolio company is a non-U.S. limited partnership and, as a result, is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of total assets.

(5)	As defined in the Investment Company Act, we are deemed to be an “affiliated person” of this portfolio company because we own 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities. We do not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company.

Transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, in which the issuer was an affiliated company (but not a portfolio company that we “control”) are as follows:


As of and for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Company	Fair Value at December 31, 2010		Gross Additions (a)		Gross Reductions (b)			Net Unrealized Gains		Fair Value at September 30, 2011		Interest Income		Other Income

(a)	Gross additions include increases in the cost basis of investments resulting from new investments, payment-in-kind interest or dividends, the amortization of any unearned income or discounts on debt investments, as applicable.

(b)	Gross reductions include decreases in the cost basis of investments resulting from principal collections related to investment repayments or sales, and the amortization of any discounts on debt investments, as applicable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (“TSL” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on July 21, 2010. The Company was formed primarily to lend to, and selectively invest in, middle-market companies in the United States. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, the Company intends to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). TSL is managed by TSL Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”).

Development Stage Company

There was no activity in the period from July 21, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010.

On July 8, 2011, the Company closed on its first portfolio company investment and accordingly ceased being a development stage company.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TC Lending LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 1, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements for interim periods, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year End

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Such amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents may consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and similar type instruments) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with highly-rated U.S. banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments at Fair Value

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date which is generally the date of a binding commitment or, if no formal commitment is made prior to funding, on the funding date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when investments are disposed of.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Company looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including

the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, Audit Committee and an independent third-party valuation firm engaged at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment.

As part of the valuation process, the Company takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of its investments, including: the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company (i.e., the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.

The Company’s Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•

The quarterly valuation process begins with each investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the portfolio management team.

•

The Adviser’s management reviews the preliminary valuations with the investment professionals. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee.

•

The Audit Committee reviews the valuations presented, as well as the input of third parties, including an independent third-party valuation firm, and recommends values for each investment to the Company’s Board of Directors.

•

The Company’s Board of Directors reviews the recommended valuations and determines the fair value of each investment; valuations that are not based on readily available market quotations are valued in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, Audit Committee and, where applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm and/or other third party.

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity and/or which the Company expects to exit such investments. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

•

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur. In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company applies the valuation policy approved by its Board of Directors that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such 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 may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

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 herein.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of discounts and premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

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

Other Income

From time to time, the Company may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies by the Adviser. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of closing investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include structuring or diligence fees, and fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies.

In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, all or a portion of any loan fees received by the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the investment’s life using the effective yield method.

Loan fees received at the closing of a loan where no services have been provided are deferred and amortized into interest income over the investment’s life using the effective yield method.

Reimbursement of Transaction-Related Expenses

The Company may receive reimbursement for certain transaction-related expenses in pursuing investments. Transaction-related expenses, which are expected to be reimbursed by third parties, are typically deferred until the transaction is consummated and are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the date incurred. The costs of successfully completed investments not otherwise reimbursed are borne by the Company and included as a component of the investment’s cost basis. Subsequent to closing, investments are recorded at fair value at each reporting period.

Cash advances received in respect of transaction-related expenses are recorded as Cash and cash equivalents with an offset to Other accrued expenses and payables to affiliates. Other accrued expenses and payables to affiliates is relieved as reimbursable expenses are incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under the Code for the taxable year ending December 31, 2011. So long as the Company elects and maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by TSL represents obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement Topic 820, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”) which largely aligns fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between International Financial Reporting Standards and U.S. GAAP. ASU 2011-04 mainly represents clarifications to ASC 820 as well as some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 clarifies that (i) the highest and best use concept only applies to nonfinancial assets; (ii) an instrument classified in shareholders’ equity should be measured from the perspective of a market participant holding that instrument as an asset; and, (iii) quantitative disclosure is required for unobservable inputs used in Level III measurements. ASU 2011-04 amends ASC 820 so that (i) the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities with similar risk exposures may be measured on the basis of the entity’s net risk exposure; (ii) premiums or discounts may be applied in a fair value measurement under certain circumstances but blockage factor discounts are not permitted; and, (iii) additional Level III disclosures are required, including a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and the Company is currently evaluating its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Administration Agreement

On March 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Adviser will provide administrative services to the Company. These services include providing office space, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC, and managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. Certain of these services are reimbursable to the Adviser under the terms of the Administration Agreement.

The Administration Agreement also provides that the Company will reimburse the Adviser for certain initial organization and operating costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Company’s operations (up to an aggregate of $1.5 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, initial organization costs exceeded $1.5 million and a corresponding amount has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Excluding initial organization and operating costs, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred expenses of $71,768 and $194,521, respectively, for administrative services payable to the Adviser under the terms of the Administration Agreement.

Unless earlier terminated as described below, the Administration Agreement will remain in effect until March 15, 2013, and may be extended subject to required approvals. The Administration Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of assignment and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

No person who is an officer, director or employee of the Adviser and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for such services. Directors who are not affiliated with the Adviser receive compensation for their services and reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings.

Advisory Agreement

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will provide investment advisory services to the Company. The Adviser’s services under the Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is free to furnish similar or other services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Adviser a base management fee (the “Management Fee”) and may also pay to it certain incentive fees (the “Incentive Fee”).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Management Fee was calculated based on the Company’s gross assets at the end of such calendar quarter, adjusted for share issuances and repurchases during such calendar quarters. Beginning October 1, 2011, the Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Management Fees for any partial month or quarter are prorated.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Management Fees were $656,277 and $659,665, respectively.

Until such time that the Company has an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common shares, the Adviser has waived its right to receive the Management Fee in excess of the sum of (i) 0.25% of aggregate committed but undrawn capital; and, (ii) 0.75% of aggregate drawn capital (including capital drawn to pay Company expenses) during any period.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Management Fees of $6,685 were waived.

The Incentive Fee consists of two parts, as follows:

(i)

The first component, payable at the end of each quarter in arrears, will equal 100% of the excess of pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a 1.5% quarterly (6% annualized) hurdle rate, until the Adviser has received 15% (17.5% subsequent to any IPO of the Company’s common shares) of total net investment income for that quarter, and 15% (17.5% subsequent to any IPO of the Company’s common shares) of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income for that quarter.

(ii)

The second component, payable at the end of each fiscal year in arrears, will, prior to any IPO of the Company’s common shares, equal 15% of cumulative realized capital gains from the inception of the Company to the end of such fiscal year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees for prior periods (the “Capital Gains Fee”). Following any IPO of the Company’s common shares, the Capital Gains Fee will equal a weighted percentage of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the inception of the Company to the end of such fiscal year. The weighted percentage is intended to ensure that for each fiscal year following any IPO of the Company’s common shares, the portion of the Company’s realized capital gains that accrued prior to any IPO will be subject to an incentive fee rate of 15% and the portion of the Company’s realized capital gains that accrued following any IPO will be subject to an incentive fee rate of 17.5%.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, if prior to any IPO of the Company’s common shares cumulative net realized losses from inception of the Company exceed the aggregate dollar amount of dividends paid by the Company through such date, the Adviser will forego the right to receive its quarterly incentive fee payments with respect to pre-incentive fee net investment income until such time that cumulative net realized losses are less than or equal to dividend payments.

The Company accrues Incentive Fees taking into account unrealized gains and losses. Section 205(b)(3) of the Investment Advisers Act prohibits the Adviser from receiving the payment of fees until such gains are realized. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Incentive Fees were $206,295.

Unless earlier terminated, the Advisory Agreement will remain in effect until April 15, 2013, and may be extended subject to required approvals. The Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of assignment and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

From time to time, the Adviser may pay amounts owed by the Company to third-party providers of goods or services, including the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company will subsequently reimburse the Adviser for such amounts paid on its behalf. Expenses incurred by the Adviser on behalf of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $825,393 and $1,389,662, respectively.

4. Investments at Fair Value

Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify non-controlled investments where it owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities as investments in “affiliated” companies and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. In addition, under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify investments where it owns more than 25% of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “controlled” companies. Detailed information with respect to the Company’s non-controlled non-affiliated, non-controlled affiliated and controlled investments is contained in the accompanying financial statements, including the schedule of investments.

Other Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s financial instruments are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities, other than investments at fair value, approximate fair value due to their short maturities or their close proximity of the originations to the measurement date.

6. Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, the Company is allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2011, our asset coverage was 209%.

Our debt obligations consisted of the following as of September 30, 2011:


	September 30, 2011
	Total Facility		Borrowings Outstanding		Amount Available
Revolving credit facility	$	150,000,000	$	98,000,000	$	52,000,000

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the components of interest expense were as follows:


	Three and nine months ended September 30, 2011
Stated interest expense	$	30,625
Amortization of debt issuance cost		5,737

Total interest expense	$	36,362

On September 28, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and DBTCA and certain of its affiliates as lenders. Proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for investment activities, expenses, working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. The maximum principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $150 million, subject to availability under the “Borrowing Base”. The Borrowing Base is calculated based on the unfunded capital commitments of the investors meeting various eligibility requirements above certain concentration limits based on investors’ credit ratings, excluding certain indebtedness.

Interest rates on obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are based on prevailing LIBOR or prime lending rate plus an applicable margin. The Company may elect either the LIBOR or prime rate at the time of draw-down, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company will also pay a fee on undrawn amounts depending on the average usage of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility will mature upon the earlier of the date two (2) years from the Closing Date and 25 days prior to a qualifying initial public offering of the Company. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time with advance notice and subject to certain applicable breakage costs. Loans will be subject to mandatory prepayment for amounts exceeding the Borrowing Base.

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the unfunded capital commitments of the Company’s private investors, including assignment of the right to make capital calls, receive and apply capital contributions, enforce remedies and claims related thereto together with cash and non-cash proceeds and related rights, and a pledge of the collateral account into which capital call proceeds are deposited.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants on the Company and its subsidiaries, including requirements to deposit all capital call proceeds into a collateral account, restrict certain distributions, and restrict certain types and amounts of indebtedness. The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary events of default.

Transfers of interests in the Company by investors will require the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such transfers may trigger mandatory prepayment obligations.

In connection with the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company paid fees totaling $1,376,903. Such fees have been capitalized as debt issuance costs and are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets.

The Company drew $98 million on the Closing Date with interest payable at the prime lending rate plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company repaid a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and borrowed additional amounts to fund investments. As of November 9, 2011, there was $46 million outstanding.

As such, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income and tax-exempt interest.

There was no activity in the period from July 21, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010.

On July 8, 2011, we closed on our first portfolio company investment and accordingly ceased being a development stage company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investment Income

We generate revenues in the form of interest income from the debt securities we hold and dividends on either direct equity investments or equity interests obtained in connection with originating loans, such as options, warrants or conversion rights. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring or diligence fees, and fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. Certain of these fees are capitalized and amortized as additional interest income over the life of the related investment.

Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $1.6 million, which consisted of $1.5 million in interest income.

As we were in the development stage through June 30, 2011, no revenues were earned during periods prior to July 1, 2011.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of the Management Fee and, depending on our operating results, the Incentive Fee, and expenses reimbursable under the Administration Agreement and Advisory Agreement. The Management Fee and Incentive Fee compensate our Adviser for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing, monitoring, and realizing our investments.

Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, our Adviser provides administrative services to the Company. These services include providing office space, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC, and managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. Certain of these services are reimbursable to our Adviser under the terms of the Administration Agreement. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $1.8 million which consisted of $0.7 million in Management Fees (net of waivers), $0.2 million in Incentive Fees, $0.6 million in professional fees, $0.1 million in directors’ fees, and $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses.

Hedging

We may, but are not required to, enter into interest rate, foreign exchange or other derivative agreements to hedge interest rate, currency, credit or other risks, but we do not generally intend to enter into any such derivative agreements for speculative purposes. Any derivative agreements entered into for speculative purposes are not expected to be material to the Company’s business or results of operations. These hedging activities, which will be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, may include the use of various instruments, including futures, options and forward contracts. We will bear the costs incurred in connection with entering into, administering and settling any such derivative contracts. There can be no assurance any hedging strategy we employ will be successful.

We did not enter into any interest rate, foreign exchange or other derivative agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2011, we had $105.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. The primary uses of our cash and cash equivalents are for (1) investments in portfolio companies and other investments and to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements; (2) the cost of operations (including paying our Adviser); (3) debt service, repayment, and other financing costs; and, (4) cash distributions to the holders of our shares.

We expect to generate additional cash from (1) cash flows from operations; (2) future offerings of our common or preferred shares; and, (3) borrowings from banks or other lenders.

Cash and cash equivalents on hand, combined with our uncalled capital commitments of $706.9 million, is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations for the foreseeable future.

Capital Share Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors, including our Adviser, providing for the private placement of our common shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase our common shares up to the amount of their respective capital commitments on an as-needed basis with a minimum of 10 business days’ prior notice. At September 30, 2011, we had received capital commitments totaling $814.8 million, of which $54.5 million was from our Adviser. Certain of our investors’ capital commitments have contingencies associated with them whereby if we are able to raise additional capital commitments from other investors, the overall capital commitment on our investor base as of September 30, 2011, would increase to $848.5 million.

On June 17, 2011, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we delivered a capital drawdown notice to our investors relating to the issuance of 35,000 of our common shares for an aggregate offering price of $35 million. The shares were issued on June 30, 2011. Proceeds from the issuance were used to commence our investing activities and for other general corporate purposes.

On June 29, 2011, we repurchased 999 of our common shares from Tarrant Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of ours and our Adviser, for $999. The repurchased shares are held in treasury shares, at cost, as of June 30, 2011.

On August 1, 2011, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we delivered a capital drawdown notice to our investors relating to the issuance of 75,652 of our common shares for an aggregate offering price of $73 million. The shares were issued on August 12, 2011. Proceeds from the issuance were used for investing activities and other general corporate purposes.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 28, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and DBTCA and certain of its affiliates as lenders. Proceeds from the Facility may be used for investment activities, expenses, working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. The maximum principal amount of the Facility is $150 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base.

Interest rates on obligations under the Facility are based on prevailing LIBOR or prime lending rate plus an applicable margin. The Company may elect either the LIBOR or prime rate at the time of draw-down, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company will also pay a fee on undrawn amounts depending on the average usage of the Facility.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $98 million outstanding and we were in compliance with the terms of the Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, for more detail on the Facility.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Information on our off balance sheet arrangements is contained in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The U.S. capital markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than two years, and we believe that the U.S. economy has not fully recovered from a period of recession. Disruptions in the capital markets have increased the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. We believe these conditions may continue for a prolonged period of time or worsen in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unfavorable economic conditions could also increase our portfolio companies’ funding costs, limit their access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to them. These events could limit our investment originations, limit our ability to grow, negatively impact our operating results, and delay or prevent us from launching or completing any IPO of our common shares.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the valuation of our investment portfolio, are described below. The critical accounting policies should be read in connection with our risk factors as disclosed in our Registration Statement on Form 10.

Investments at Fair Value

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, we look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors, based on, among other things, the input of our Adviser, Audit Committee and an independent third-party valuation firm engaged at the direction of our Board of Directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment.

As part of the valuation process, we take into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of our investments, including: the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company (i.e., the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.

Our Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•

Our Adviser’s management reviews the preliminary valuations with the investment professionals; agreed-upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee.

•

Our Board of Directors reviews the recommended valuations and determines the fair value of each investment; valuations that are not based on readily available market quotations are valued in good faith based on, among other things, the input of our Adviser, Audit Committee and, where applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm and/or other third party.

We apply ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, we consider the principal

market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity and/or which we expect to exit our investments. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

•

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur. In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, we apply the valuation policy approved by our Board of Directors that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, we evaluate the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value.

Our accounting policy on the fair value of our investments is critical because the determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on the consolidated financial statements.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of discounts or premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts or premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon our judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in our judgment, are likely to remain current. We may not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Our accounting policy on interest and dividend income recognition is critical because it involves the primary source of our revenue and accordingly is significant to the financial results as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under the Code for the taxable year ending December 31, 2011. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by TSL represents obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Our accounting policy on income taxes is critical because if we are unable to maintain our status as a RIC, we would be required to record a provision for corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes which may be significant to our financial results.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and we will value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good

faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, for more details on estimates and judgments made by us in connection with the valuation of our investments.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. In the future, we may fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, 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 September 30, 2011, all of the investments at fair value in our portfolio were at variable rates. The Revolving Credit Facility also bears interest at variable rates.

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.

Based on our balance sheet at September 30, 2011, the following table shows the impact on net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors and ceilings for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:


Basis Point Change	Interest Income			Interest Expense			Net Income
Up 300 basis points	$	403,457		$	24,500		$	378,957
Up 200 basis points		268,971			16,333			252,638
Up 100 basis points		134,486			8,167			126,319
Down 100 basis points		(105,811	)		(8,167	)		(97,644	)
Down 200 basis points		—			(16,333	)		16,333
Down 300 basis points		—			(24,500	)		24,500

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(iii) Borrower shall terminate or excuse an Investor’s obligations to make Capital Contributions to Borrower pursuant to its Unused Capital Commitment;

(iv) any Investor that shall commence a material legal action, suit or other litigation against Borrower or Investment Adviser and such action remains pending; provided, the foregoing shall not constitute an Exclusion Event if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such action, suit or other litigation is not reasonably likely to result in a failure by such Investor to fund its Unused Capital Commitment;

(v) any final judgment(s) for the payment of money which in the aggregate (excluding amounts covered by insurance applicable to such judgment to the extent the relevant independent third party insurer has not denied or repudiated coverage therefor) exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net worth of such Investor (or its Sponsor, Responsible Party or Credit Provider, as applicable) shall be rendered against such Person, and such judgment or judgments shall not be satisfied, discharged, paid or bonded in full or stayed at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any of its assets could be lawfully sold to satisfy such judgment; provided, the foregoing shall not constitute an Exclusion Event if the Required Lenders determine that such judgment(s) is not reasonably likely to result in a failure of such Investor to fund its Unused Capital Commitment;

(d) Accordion. Borrower may, from time to time, but not more than on two (2) occasions within the twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, request by a notice to Administrative Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1(d) (an “Accordion Request”) delivered in writing or via telecopy, that Lenders provide an increase in the Maximum Commitment in a principal amount of up to $100,000,000 (and not less than $20,000,000 for each request) (each such increase an “Accordion Amount”) such that the Maximum Commitment following all such increases shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $250,000,000. If no Event of Default is then continuing, then Administrative Agent shall disclose the Accordion Request to Lenders and each Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to provide an increase in its Commitment that is equal to its Pro Rata Share multiplied by the Accordion Amount set forth in such Accordion Request. If any Lender does not wish to provide its Pro Rata Share of the Accordion Amount, or any portion thereof, then each other Lender shall have the right to provide an additional Accordion Amount in an amount equal to the Pro Rata Share of the Accordion Amount not being provided by such Lender as determined by the Administrative

Agent. Such process shall continue until the entire Accordion Amount is divided among the Lenders. If the entire Accordion Amount is not absorbed by the other Lenders within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Accordion Request, then Administrative Agent will inform Borrower of the amount of the Accordion Amount that Lenders are willing to provide, and Borrower will have the right to accept such lesser Accordion Amount, cancel the Accordion Request or find additional Persons who are willing to act as Lenders that are acceptable to Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. Any such other Persons providing all or a portion of the Accordion Amount shall be deemed to be Lenders hereunder upon execution of the Accordion Request. Once Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower agree on the amount of the Accordion Amount and each Lender’s portion of the Accordion Amount thereunder, Administrative Agent shall complete Schedule I to the Accordion Request and each Lender or other Person providing a portion of the Accordion Amount shall countersign the Accordion Request. Upon full execution of the Accordion Request, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall establish the effective date of the Accordion Amount (the “Accordion Increase Date”). On the Accordion Increase Date, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur by virtue of the Accordion Increase, Borrower shall (i) execute and deliver an amended and restated Note to each Lender or a new Note to such other Person that has executed the Accordion Request, each in the amount of such Lender’s or other Person’s new Commitment, and (ii) pay to Administrative Agent the fee due and payable under Section 2.13(c). In addition thereto, on each Accordion Increase Date, Borrower shall, as a condition of the requested Accordion Increase, satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.3 as of each Accordion Increase Date. On each Accordion Increase Date, the Maximum Commitment shall be the sum of the Maximum Commitment in effect immediately prior to the Accordion Increase Date, plus the Accordion Amount set forth in Schedule I to the Accordion Request.

Section 2.2 Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Lenders agree, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to make Loans to Borrower at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount up to each Lender’s Commitment at any such time; provided, however, that, after making any such Loans: (a) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Principal Obligation would not exceed such Lender’s Commitment as of such date; and (b) the Principal Obligation would not exceed the Available Loan Amount. Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and re-borrow hereunder, during the Availability Period. Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made by Lenders in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Loan Amount.

Section 2.3 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Request for Borrowing; Conversions and Continuations. Each Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice (which includes a calculation of the Borrowing Base) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(a) attached hereto (each, a “Notice of Advance”). Each such Notice of Advance must be received by Administrative Agent not later than (i) 5:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (provided, the initial Borrowing hereunder may be requested one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date); and (ii) 2:00 p.m. on the same Business Day of the requested date of any Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, and shall be appropriately completed and signed by two (2) Responsible Officers of Borrower. If, with

respect to a maturing LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall fail to deliver a Notice of Continuation or Notice of Conversion in accordance with Section 2.3(d), Borrower will be deemed to have requested a new LIBOR Loan with a one (1) month Interest Period in the same principal amount as the maturing LIBOR Loan. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans in any such Notice of Advance, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Administrative Agent Notification of Lenders. Following receipt of a Notice of Advance, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion of LIBOR Loans pursuant to the preceding subsection.

(c) Maximum LIBOR Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than six (6) LIBOR Loans shall be outstanding at any one time during the Availability Period.

(d) Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(i) Borrower shall have the right, with respect to: (A) any Prime Rate Loan to convert such Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan (the date of conversion being the “LIBOR Conversion Date”); and (B) any LIBOR Loan to convert such LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan (the date of conversion, a “Prime Rate Conversion Date”), (provided, however, that Borrower shall, on such Prime Rate Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 2.19, if any); in either case, by giving Administrative Agent written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(d) attached hereto appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower (a “Notice of Conversion”) of such selection no later than: (x) 5:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to such LIBOR Conversion Date; or (y) 2:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Prime Rate Conversion Date. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to Administrative Agent.

(ii) No later than 5:00 p.m. at least (x) three (3) Business Days prior to the termination of an Interest Period related to a LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall give Lender written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.3(d) attached hereto appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower (the “Notice of Continuation”) whether it desires to continue such LIBOR Loan and shall designate the Interest Option which shall be applicable to such continuation upon the expiration of such Interest Period. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof.

(iii) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Loan may be continued only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, Required Lenders may refuse to continue, or convert Loans into LIBOR Loans.

Section 2.4 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Prime Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and is not less than $200,000; provided, however, that a Prime Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the Available Loan.

Section 2.5 Funding. Each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of Borrower no later than 12:00 Noon on the borrowing date in immediately available funds, and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in Borrower’s Demand Deposit Account at Administrative Agent, and shall, no later than 1:00 p.m., wire transfer such funds therefrom as may be further requested by Borrower. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand: (a) from such Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if a Lender fails to pay its amount upon Administrative Agent’s demand, then from Borrower, within thirteen (13) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the borrowing date and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from Borrower. The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to Borrower only for the amount of its respective Commitment.

Section 2.6 Interest; Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest Rate; Interest Payment Dates. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) below: (i) each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Accrued and unpaid interest (A) on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, and (B) on any obligation of Borrower hereunder on which Borrower is in default shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment.

(b) Past Due Amounts. If any principal of, or interest on, the Loans is not paid when due, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a)) such past due principal and interest on the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date it was due to, but excluding, the date it is paid.

(c) Determination of Rate. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing shall become effective, without prior notice to Borrower, automatically as of the opening of business of Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBOR by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. At any time that Prime Rate Loans are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(d) No Setoff, Deductions, etc. All payments of interest shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever, the rights to which are specifically waived by Borrower.

Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent or any affected Lender, to reissue new Notes, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to any Lender and any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 9.13, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by Borrower to the affected Lender.

Section 2.8 Maturity Date; Payment of Obligations. The principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, together with all other charges, fees, expenses and other sums due and owing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

Section 2.9 Payments of Principal and Prepayments; Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Payments on the Notes; Payments Generally. No principal amortization is required hereunder.

Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent to such Lender. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. All payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof is less than the full amount due on the date of receipt by Administrative Agent of such funds, in the following manner: (i) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including Attorney Costs) arising under the terms hereof; (ii) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (iii) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (iv) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations. Any payment applied to principal of the Obligations under the preceding sentence shall be applied first to Prime Rate Loans then outstanding until all Prime Rate Loans have been paid in full and shall then be applied to LIBOR Loans subject to the Interest Periods next maturing until the entire amount of such payment has been applied.

(b) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (i) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Loans; and (B) on the date of prepayment of Prime Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower , Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Maximum Commitment as contemplated by Section 2.10, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.10. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19.

(i) Excess Loans Outstanding. If, on any day, the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Loan Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event), then Borrower shall pay such excess to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in immediately available funds within (A) two (2) Business Days of such date, to the extent funds are available in the Collateral Account or any other account maintained by Borrower with Deutsche Bank or the Account Bank or (b) fifteen (15) Business Days of such date, to the extent Borrower must make a Capital Call to fund such payment.

Each prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by such Lenders and each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to such Lenders.

Section 2.10 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitment. So long as no Request for Credit Extension is outstanding, Borrower may terminate or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by Borrower in such notice): (a) in the case of complete termination of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.9, or (b) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligation exceeds the reduced Available Loan Amount resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued on such prepaid amount, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.9; provided that a notice of termination of the Maximum Commitment delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by written notice to Administrative Agent prior to 9:00 a.m. on the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (subject to payment by Borrower of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proposed termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000; and (B) in no event shall a reduction by Borrower reduce the Maximum Commitment to $10,000,000 or less (except for a termination of the Maximum Commitment). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall reduce the Commitments of Lenders on a pro rata basis.

Section 2.11 Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any LIBOR Loan; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Prime Rate Loan; and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice in writing to Borrower. In such event, such Lender shall continue to hold any Note, if any, evidencing its loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of such Lender’s Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Lender changes its applicable Lending Office (other than pursuant to Section 2.15(h) or Section 2.18(e)) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Sections 2.15 or 2.18, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

Section 2.12 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Credit Extensions shall be used to finance various Investments and Expenses (all of which Borrower represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and Lenders, are available for repayment by the Capital Contributions under the Subscription Agreements) and for other purposes permitted by the Subscription Agreements and Section 4.8 hereof. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions, and Administrative Agent, Lenders shall not be obligated to determine whether or not Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions are for purposes permitted under the Subscription Agreements or Organizational Documents. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, or any conversion or continuation thereof, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Administrative Agent or Lenders as to whether any Investment or use of proceeds by Borrower is permitted by the terms of the Subscription Agreements.

Section 2.13 Certain Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a fee in consideration of establishing and maintaining the Maximum Commitment in the aggregate amount of seventy five (75) basis points (0.75%) of the Maximum Commitment (the “Facility Fee”), which Facility Fee is due and payable on the Closing Date. Such Facility Fee shall be deemed earned and nonrefundable whether or not any Loans are made and notwithstanding any subsequent reduction or termination of the Maximum Commitment.

(b) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, an unused commitment fee on a calendar quarterly basis on the average daily amount by which the Maximum Commitment then in effect exceeds the Principal Obligation (the “Average Unused Amount”), at the applicable Unused Commitment Fee, payable in arrears on the tenth (10^th) Business Day of the month immediately following each calendar quarterly period during the term hereof and, if earlier, on the Maturity Date. Borrower and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Unused Commitment Fee payable hereunder is a bona fide unused commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.

(c) Accordion Facility Fee. In connection with each Accordion Request, Borrower shall pay a nonrefundable fee (the “Accordion Fee”) to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender participating in each Accordion Request in an amount to be agreed upon in connection with such Accordion Request. The Accordion Fee shall be deemed fully earned when paid, regardless of whether or not any Loan is disbursed in whole or in part.

Section 2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Loans and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), except that

interest computed by reference to the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 9.16, bear interest for one day.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower or on account of any Obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, except as required by law, be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or (without duplication) Other Taxes; provided, that if Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions with respect to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions; and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subparagraph (a) immediately above, Borrower shall, without duplication, timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days after written demand setting forth the amount and the reasons in reasonable detail therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than those incurred because of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent of the applicable Lender. Administrative Agent or any Lender making an indemnity claim pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) shall deliver to Borrower, a certificate (prepared in good faith) setting forth the amount of such payment or liability and the reasons therefor in reasonable detail, and such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Within thirty (30) days after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.8 of this Agreement, 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 Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. To the extent a Lender (and, in the case of a pass-through entity, any of its beneficial owners) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of

withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, it shall (and, in the case of a pass-through entity, shall cause its beneficial owners to) (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender becomes a Lender or the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time as prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, (A) deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding and (B) complete any other necessary procedural formalities or provide any other necessary confirmations as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. If a payment made to a Foreign Lender hereunder would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA, such Foreign Lender shall (and, in the case of a pass-through entity, shall cause its beneficial owners to) deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Foreign Lender has or has not complied with such Foreign Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(f) Tax Forms. Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient and including any required attachments) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable (and including any successor or additional forms required by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax):

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that such Lender is not a United States person and claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or Form W-9;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not: (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower (or applicable Borrower Party) within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax or any other applicable withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall promptly pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of out-of-pocket expenses incurred directly in respect of such refund of Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) net of all out-of-pocket expenses in respect of such refund of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent, any Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority other than penalties, interest or charges attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or such Lender) to Administrative Agent, any Lender, as the case may be, in the event Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Mitigation. Each Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to Borrower’s obligation to make a payment under this Section 2.15 with respect to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, it will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms that would reduce or eliminate any additional amounts required to be deducted or withheld or paid by Borrower under this Section 2.15 and changing the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, the making of such a change (i) would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and (ii) would not be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would not require it to incur material additional costs (unless Borrower agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

Section 2.16 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Legal Requirement has made it unlawful for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower and Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Borrower and Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Following receipt of such notice, all LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall be converted to Prime Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.17 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that: (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan; or (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice (which it agrees to do promptly upon such conditions ceasing to exist). Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 2.18 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lenders (except any reserve requirement); or

(ii) impose on Lenders or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by Lenders;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lenders hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), in each

case by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, then, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of written request by Lenders, Borrower will pay to Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lenders for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, provided that, (i) no such additional amount or amounts are required to be paid by Borrower in respect of a Change in Law that results in the imposition, amendment or change in the application or basis of any Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Taxes to be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.15 and (ii) in any such case, Borrower may elect to convert LIBOR Loans made by any such Lender hereunder to Prime Rate Loans by giving Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such Lender’s demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender certifying (x) that one of the events described in subsection (a) or (b), as the case may be, has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost incurred or reduction suffered resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed and documented explanation of the calculation thereof, and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than four (4) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the four (4)- month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Mitigation. If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another Lending Office, or through another branch or an Affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur material additional costs (unless Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

Section 2.19 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual documented loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of any Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower,

in the case of either (a) or (b) above, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such LIBOR Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market.

Section 2.20 Demand Deposit Account. Borrower shall be required, during the term hereof, to maintain at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 345 Park Avenue, 14^th Floor East, New York, New York 10154, a separate demand deposit account (each, a “Demand Deposit Account”), in accordance with standard account documents of Administrative Agent. On any date a payment is due hereunder, Borrower shall deposit into such Demand Deposit Account an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount contained therein and the amount due on such date. Borrower agrees that on the date each payment hereunder is due and owing hereunder, Administrative Agent is authorized to, and shall, debit the Demand Deposit Account of Borrower by the amount of the payment owed.

Section 2.21 Security and the Security Documents.

(a) Capital Commitments and Capital Calls. To secure performance by Borrower of the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the Security Documents, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Collateral. In order to secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate right of setoff, Administrative Agent shall be permitted, in accordance with the Security Documents, to make any Capital Calls upon the Investors pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreements and this Agreement. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent the Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.21(a)-1 hereto, the Cash Collateral Agreement (Collateral Account) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.21(a)-2 hereto, and the Account Control Agreement (together with the Account Bank) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.21(a)-3 hereto, subject to the requirements of subsection (e) of this Section 2.21. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a release, waiver, discharge or impairment of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or a release of any Collateral given or to be given to secure the Obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in connection herewith (other than a written waiver, release or amendment executed pursuant to the requirements of Section 9.1), or shall preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising their rights hereunder or under the Security Documents or exercising any power of sale contained therein in the case of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(b) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent does not undertake any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls or the proceeds thereof, other than to make such Capital Calls pursuant to a Capital Call Notice in compliance with the terms of the Organizational Documents of Borrower and any applicable Investor Documents. Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of Borrower or any Investor. Administrative Agent has no duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call or with respect to the investment or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(c) Capital Calls by Borrower. In order that Administrative Agent may monitor the Collateral and the Unfunded Capital Commitments, Borrower shall not issue any Capital Call Notice without delivering to Administrative Agent (which delivery may be via facsimile) promptly following delivery of such Capital Call Notice to any Investor (which shall in any event be within one (1) Business Day of delivery thereof), a schedule of such Capital Calls (in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) showing the names of the Investors and the Capital Contribution being requested for each such Investor, and, upon Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, copies of the Capital Call Notice for each Investor from whom a Capital Contribution is being sought; provided, it is understood that in connection with the delivery of any such information to Administrative Agent, Borrower need not describe any Investment and may redact any information relating thereto.

(d) Capital Call Notices. Solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, as more specifically set forth in the Security Documents, may make Capital Calls in accordance with the terms hereof and send out Capital Call Notices on behalf of Borrower.

(e) Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents. Borrower shall deliver such security agreements, financing statements, assignments, and other collateral documents, all of which shall be deemed part of the Security Documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent acting on behalf of Lenders may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of Lenders, first priority and exclusive security interests in any of the Collateral, together with other assurances of the enforceability and priority of the Liens thereon and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Security Documents or copies thereof, as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless the Account Control Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. dated as of the Closing Date is amended by the parties thereto within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date as required by Administrative Agent to incorporate provisions providing for a freeze of the Collateral Account upon receipt by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Account Bank from Administrative Agent of a “Shifting Control Notice” prior to the “Effective Time” (as both such terms are defined therein), Borrower shall transfer the Collateral Account from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to Deutsche Bank, as Account Bank within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, and the Blocked Account Control Agreement dated as of the Closing Date with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall be terminated and replaced by an account control agreement among Administrative Agent, Borrower and Deutsche Bank, as the Account Bank, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent.

(f) Collateral Accounts; Capital Calls. Borrower shall direct that all Investors wire-transfer to the Collateral Account, or to such other accounts as are agreed by Administrative Agent and Borrower, all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Commitments are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices. In addition, Borrower shall, upon receipt, deposit in the applicable Collateral Account described above any payments and monies that Borrower receives directly from any Investor as Capital Contributions.

(g) Acknowledgment Letters. Borrower shall provide an Acknowledgment Letter duly executed by each Eligible Investor (and in respect of any Subsequent Investor that is an Eligible Investor shall provide duly executed by such Subsequent Investor), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.21(g)-1. Borrower shall provide notice to each Investor that is not an Eligible Investor of the grant by Borrower of security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents, which notice may be made by Borrower pursuant to disclosure thereof in Borrower’s next relevant SEC filings to be made following the Closing Date.

(h) Rights under Organizational Documents. Except as permitted in Section 5.10 hereof, Borrower agrees that until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder have been paid in full in cash, (i) Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert against Administrative Agent or any Lender or avail itself of the use of (A) any provision of Borrower’s Organizational Documents or any Subscription Agreement that would permit Borrower to waive, cancel, release or terminate, in whole or in part, the Unfunded Capital Commitments; or (B) any discretionary provision of Borrower’s Organizational Documents or any Subscription Agreement that would permit the Investors or any other Persons to limit calls for payment of Unfunded Capital

Commitments; (ii) Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of Borrower’s Organizational Documents and the Subscription Agreements to the extent that such documents set forth rights or remedies in respect of Unfunded Capital Commitments.

SECTION 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce Lenders to make the Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that:

Section 3.1 Organization and Good Standing of Borrower and Investment Adviser.

(a) Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has all requisite corporate power and authority, and has obtained all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required, to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted except to the extent such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Investment Adviser is a limited liability company, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has all requisite limited liability company powers, and has obtained all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required, to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted, except to the extent such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Subsidiary of Borrower whose assets are material to the assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as a whole (a “Material Subsidiary”) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company (as the case may be) power and authority, and has obtained all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required, to own its property and assets to carry on its business as now conducted except to the extent such failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2 Authorization and Power. The Transactions are within the power and authority of Borrower. Borrower has the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. All necessary action on the part of Borrower has been taken (including, if required, by partners, directors, stockholders, managers, or members, as applicable) to authorize the Transactions. Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party or which it has executed in a representative capacity on behalf of another party, and each such Loan Document constitutes

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.6(a) to the contrary, the consent of Borrower to the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall not be required if at the time such consent would otherwise be required hereunder, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 8.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.8 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of Administrative Agent and Lenders listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder

Section 8.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, any other Borrower, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 9.6 hereof.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 8.10 Collateral Matters. Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable); (b) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 9.1 hereof, if approved, authorized or ratified by the Required Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 8.10. In each case as specified in this Section 8.10, Administrative Agent will, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.10.

SECTION 9

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated (other than a discharge or termination that is expressly permitted hereunder), unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, based upon the approval of the Required Lenders, or the Required Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower on the other hand; provided that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (i) increase the amount or extend the term of the Commitment of such Lender, it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Potential Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall constitute an extension or increase in the Commitment of any Lender, (ii) postpone any scheduled date for payment to such Lender of the principal, interest or fees, it being understood that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest to such Lender, or reduce the principal of (except as a result of the application of payments or prepayments), or reduce the rate of interest specified herein (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of the Default Rate) to such Lender; (iii) release all or substantially all of the Liens granted under the Security Documents, except as otherwise contemplated herein or therein, and except in connection with the transfer of interests in Borrower permitted hereunder, (iv) amend the definition of “Available Loan Amount”, (v) change the percentages specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to amend, waive or modify any rights hereunder or otherwise make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, or (vi) amend the terms of this Section 9.1.

Notwithstanding the above, no provision of Section 8 hereof may be amended or modified without the consent of Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow Borrower to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by Borrower, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.

If Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent to the request.

Section 9.2 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower other than deposits held in a custodial, trust or fiduciary capacity against any and all of the Obligations owing by them to Lenders, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Lenders shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.3 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Security Documents, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately: (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such of Loans pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of: (i) the amount that such paying Lender’s required repayment bears, to; (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff), but subject to Section 9.2 hereof with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower

in the amount of such participation. Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of demonstrable error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the owner of the Obligations purchased. To the extent required to implement the sharing of payments under this Section 9.3, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to distribute any proceeds from Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents held by Administrative Agent to Lenders consistent with the terms of this Section 9.3.

Section 9.4 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 9.5 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent or Lenders, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

Section 9.6 Payment of Expenses. Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.15, Borrower agrees: (i) to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs; and (ii) to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent and, to the extent that an Event of Default exists, Lenders, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of

any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs but only for one (1) outside counsel (in each relevant jurisdiction) to Administrative Agent. All amounts due under this Section 9.6 shall be payable within thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Maximum Commitment and repayment of all the other Obligations.

Section 9.7 Indemnification by Borrower.

(a) Indemnification. Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.15, Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the performance of the Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Credit Extension, or the relationship of Borrower and Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (ii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in subclause (i) above; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact of such Indemnitee and its Affiliates, or result from a claim brought by Borrower against such Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. Neither Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 9.7 shall be payable within thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Maximum Commitment and repayment of all the other Obligations.

(b) Reimbursement. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under subsection (a) of this Section or under Section 9.6 to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Indemnitee, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Indemnitee of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this subsection (b) are several.

Section 9.8 Notice. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing (except where telephonic instructions or notices are expressly authorized herein to be given) and shall be deemed to be effective: (a) if by hand delivery, telecopy or other facsimile transmission, on the Business Day and at the time on which delivered to such party at the address or fax numbers specified below (and if delivery was on a day other than a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day); (b) if by mail, on the Business Day on which it is received after being deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such party at the address specified below; or (c) if by Federal Express or other reputable overnight express mail service, on the next Business Day following the delivery to such express mail service, addressed to such party at the address set forth below; or (d) if by telephone or electronic transmission, on the day and at the time reciprocal communication (i.e., direct communication between two or more persons, which shall not include voice mail messages) with one of the individuals named below occurs during a call to the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party below:

The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 9.13 Successors and Assigns.

(a) In General; Borrower Assignment, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Section 9.13; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (d) of this Section 9.13; or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subparagraph (f) of this Section 9.13 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subparagraph (d) of this Section 9.13, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Lender Assignment. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that: (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund managed by a particular Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the

Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 (and shall be in an integral multiple of $2,500,000), and, after such assignment, no Lender shall hold a Commitment of less than $5,000,000; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except in the case of a transfer at the demand of Borrower under Section 9.15, in which case Borrower or the transferee Lender shall pay such fee); and (iv) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes to Borrower). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this Section 9.13, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of and be subject to the obligations under Sections 2.15, 2.18 and 2.19 and 9.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and upon surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender, and the applicable existing Note or Notes shall be returned to Borrower. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this Section 9.13.

(c) Records of Assignment. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Absent demonstrable error, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) with the consent of Borrower, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld (provided, the Borrower’s consent shall not be required for a participation by Deutsche Bank to a Person that is (x) another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (y) a domestic or international commercial bank with a credit rating of A or better by S&P or A2 or better by Moody’s and

combined capital and surplus of at least $1 billion; provided, however, that Deutsche Bank (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) may not have more than three (3) participants under this clause (b) at any time) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Sections 9.1(i) through (iv) hereof that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subparagraph (e) of this Section 9.13, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.18 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and obligations of those sections, including timely delivery of forms pursuant to Section 2.15) to the same extent as if it were a Lender of the relevant Loans and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 9.13. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of the right of setoff under Section 9.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 as though it were a Lender.

(e) No Payment Increase. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15, 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless Borrower are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.15(e) and 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Right to Assign as Security by a Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.14 Lender Default. If for any reason any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, during the period in which it remains a Defaulting Lender, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, Lenders, or Borrower at law or in equity, such Lender’s right to receive an Unused Commitment Fee under Section 2.13(b), to vote on matters related to this Agreement, to receive payments of principal on the Loans until payment of the Principal Outstandings held by all other Lenders have been paid and to participate in the administration of the Loans and this Agreement, shall be suspended and Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the Obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Defaulting Lender’s interests, then each Lender that is not in

default (each, a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata) such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the outstanding Obligations under this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Replacement of Lender. If (a) Borrower becomes obligated to pay any additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.19, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (b) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (c) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.19 with respect to circumstances that do not affect other Lenders hereunder or (d) any Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below), then Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments of such Lender and repay all obligations of Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date, or (ii) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.13), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(A) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.13(b) (unless Administrative Agent waives such fee);

(B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees); and

If the Pledgor, at any time shall receive any payments with respect to any Capital Commitment from any Investor under any Subscription Agreement, such amounts shall, immediately upon receipt by the Pledgor, be deposited into the applicable Collateral Account, and until so deposited, shall be received and held by the Pledgor in trust for the Pledgee.

Remedies.

If an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing;

(a) The Pledgee, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, to sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral (in one or more portions and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private (if permitted by the UCC)

sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith the Pledgee may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Collateral are being purchased for investment only, the Pledgor hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or other applicable law. If all or any of the Collateral is sold by the Pledgee upon credit or for future delivery, the Pledgee shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, the Pledgee may resell such Collateral. It is expressly agreed that the Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Collateral, and such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize the Pledgee’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Collateral at a later time or times.

(b) The Pledgee may from time to time in its sole discretion exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of the Pledgor, all of the Pledgee’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Collateral, hereunder and under law.

(c) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably, in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, authorizes and empowers the Pledgee and assigns and transfers unto the Pledgee, and each constitutes and appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for it and in its name, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to exercise and enforce in the Pledgor’s name every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of the Pledgor under each Subscription Agreement of each Investor and otherwise in connection with the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors, including any power to make Capital Calls, to make claims upon and enforce rights against Investors, to enforce remedies, and to give any notices, and (ii) in order to more fully vest in the Pledgee the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to the Pledgee in this Agreement. The Pledgor further authorizes and empowers the Pledgee, as its attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for it and in its name, place and stead following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of the Pledgor that in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken in respect of any Investor or Collateral related thereto under any Subscription Agreement, and otherwise in connection with the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by the Pledgor thereunder (or of any Investor in respect thereof) or to enforce any of the Pledgor’s rights thereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not impose any obligation on the Pledgee. This power-of-attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by the Pledgor in respect of the Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.

(d) The Pledgee may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of the Pledgor, extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to the Pledgor, or claims of the Pledgor,

by any Investor under any Subscription Agreement, and otherwise in connection with the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors, including any guarantee thereof or collateral therefor; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by the Pledgee necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing in respect of any Collateral, any of the Subscription Agreements of the Investors or otherwise in connection with the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors (including any guarantee thereof) pursuant to the terms thereof; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by the Pledgee to protect and preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.

(e) Pursuant to the power-of-attorney provided for above, the Pledgee may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Pledgor into the Collateral Account representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed by any Investor pursuant to its Subscription Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of the Pledgor, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Collateral hereunder.

(f) The Pledgee may from time to time in its sole discretion exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, as well as all other rights and remedies available to a secured party at law or equity.

(g) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing the Pledgor from any obligation or default hereunder, the Pledgee shall have the right, but not the obligation (including pursuant to any power of attorney granted hereunder), to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to cure any Event of Default or cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Organizational Documents of the Pledgor or any Subscription Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Unfunded Capital Commitments of Investors, including any guarantee thereof, to be performed or observed by the Pledgor, to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of the Pledgor to protect the Collateral or any rights of the Pledgee hereunder or otherwise arising in respect of the Collateral. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, the Pledgee in exercising its rights under this Section 6 (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith) from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by the Pledgor to the Pledgee within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Pledgor of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail and shall be secured by this Agreement.

Sales of Collateral.

Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor to the extent permitted by law, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, except that if notice shall be required by applicable law, the Pledgee shall give the Pledgor, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and the place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice the Pledgor hereby agrees is commercially reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived to the extent permitted by law. In connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, the Pledgee may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements and/or disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like without affecting the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition. To the extent permitted by law, the Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and the Pledgee may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, the Pledgee (or any nominee or designee thereof) may purchase any or all of the Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of the Pledgor, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Collateral, public or private, the Pledgor will pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, the Pledgee shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Public Sales Not Feasible.

The Pledgor acknowledges that the terms of the Subscription Agreements may prohibit public sales, that the Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law, including securities laws and blue sky laws. In light of these considerations, the Pledgor agrees that private sales of the Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner merely by virtue of having been made privately. Without limiting the foregoing, the Pledgor recognizes that, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in Subscription Agreements and/or in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or other relevant securities laws in any jurisdiction, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, and agrees that (i) private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at public sale, and that the

Pledgee has no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registration of the Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or other relevant securities laws in any jurisdictions, and (ii) a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable by virtue of such circumstances.

Receipt of Sale Proceeds.

Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Pledgee hereunder (whether pursuant to any power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by the Pledgee or the officer making the sale of the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.

10.

Waivers; Modifications.

No delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be discharged, changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner unless in a writing duly signed by the party sought to be charged therewith.

11.

Remedies Cumulative.

All rights and remedies afforded to the Pledgee by reason of this Agreement are separate and cumulative remedies, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies in favor of the Pledgee existing at law or in equity or otherwise. None of such remedies, whether or not exercised by the Pledgee, shall be deemed to exclude, limit or prejudice the exercise of any other legal or equitable remedy or remedies available to the Pledgee.

12.

Notices.

Any notice or other communication which by any provision of this Agreement is required or permitted to be given or served hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or served in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement.

13.

Jurisdiction, Etc.

The Pledgor irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Pledgor at its address set forth

Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Pledgee to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Pledgor in any other jurisdiction.

14.

Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement; provided that the Pledgor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral, any such attempted assignment or transfer being null and void.

15.

(b) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Pledgee to perform or discharge any obligation of the Pledgor or to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral; or to take any action hereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.

reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and disbursements of one counsel to all Indemnified Parties, including those incurred in enforcing this indemnity) which any Indemnified Party may incur or suffer if it becomes, or is alleged to have become, a partner of the Pledgor by reason of the operation of this Agreement or the Pledgee’s exercise of any of the rights, remedies or powers under or in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise (but excluding losses, judgments and liabilities of any Indemnified Party to the extent that the same directly result from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), and to reimburse, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Pledgor of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail demand therefor, the Pledgee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of or resulting from the exercise by the Pledgee of any right, power, privilege or remedy granted to it hereunder, such as operating, selling or disposing of the Pledgor’s property, including the Collateral. In any action to enforce this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 16 shall, to the extent permitted by law, prevail notwithstanding any provision of applicable law in respect of the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances to the contrary.

17.

The Pledgor shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure or effect any other change that could impair the effectiveness of any UCC filing naming it as debtor, unless it shall have given the Agent thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such change and shall have given the Agent written notice not more than thirty (30) days after the effective date of such change and shall take such action, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, as may be necessary to maintain the security interest of the Agent in the Collateral granted hereunder at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.

Transfers and Other Liens.

The Pledgor will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral other than pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Credit Agreement, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the Collateral, except for the Liens granted to the Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement and this Agreement or as may otherwise be permitted under the Loan Documents, or (iii) enter into or suffer to exist any control agreement with any Person other than the Account Control Agreement with the Intermediary, whereby such Person may issue entitlement orders or other orders or instructions with respect to any or all of the Collateral (except any control agreement with the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties).

Reasonable Care.

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care with respect to the custody of any Collateral actually in its possession, the Agent shall not have any duty as to the collection or protection of any Collateral or any income thereon or payments with respect thereto, or as to the preservation of any rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. The Pledgor consents to all actions by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that the Collateral need not be held separate and apart from other assets held by the Intermediary in any capacity. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its control if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which a reasonable person would exercise under similar circumstances, it being understood that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof (including any loss, damage or diminution in value resulting from any investment thereof), by reason of the act or omission of the Agent or its agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from the Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, the Agent may, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, at any time or from time to time in its sole discretion exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i) without notice to the Pledgor, except as required by law or any of the Loan Documents, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Collateral against the Obligations or any part thereof, including any expenses due in accordance with the Credit Agreement;

(ii) issue entitlement orders or other orders or instructions to the Intermediary with respect to any or all of the Collateral held or credited to or for either Collateral Account;

(iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC and/or otherwise available at law or in equity; and

(iv) demand, collect, take possession of, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, liquidate, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion.

The Pledgor hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that notice of any sale of the Collateral or other intended disposition thereof shall be required by the UCC or other applicable law, ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition may be made shall be commercially reasonable and sufficient notice to the Pledgor within the meaning of the UCC or otherwise under applicable law. In connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, the Agent may comply with any applicable state or Federal law requirements and/or disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like without affecting the commercial reasonableness of such sale or other disposition.

No Waiver.

The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and may be exercised independently or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other right or remedy provided at law or in equity. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall impair or prohibit the exercise of any such rights or remedies in the future or be deemed to constitute a waiver or limitation of any such right or remedy or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy granted to the Agent hereunder or by law may be exercised by the Agent at any time and from time to time, and as often as the Agent may deem it expedient. Any and all of the Agent’s rights with respect to the lien and security interest granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and the Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) any proceeding of the Pledgor or any other Person or any of their respective property under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws, (b) the release or substitution of any collateral or any guaranty or other security for any of the Obligations at any time, or of any rights or interests therein or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Agent in the event of any default, with respect to any collateral or any guaranty or other security for any of the Obligations or otherwise hereunder or under any other Loan Document. No delay or extension of time by the Agent in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Pledgor by the Agent, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Agent’s right, without notice or demand, to take any action against the Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.

Expenses.

The Collateral shall also secure, and the Pledgor shall pay to the Agent and/or the Agent’s counsel upon thirty (30) days’ written notice (including backup documentation supporting such request) from the Agent from time to time, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and transfer, investment, recording and filing fees, taxes and other charges) actually incurred for, or incidental to, the creation or perfection of any lien or security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby, the collection of or realization on the Collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or release of any Collateral.

10.

Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact.

(a) The Pledgor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent, as the Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of the Pledgor with respect to the Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead of the Pledgor, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of the Pledgor, which the Pledgor could or might do or which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in the Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein or to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

(b) If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained, the Agent may itself perform or cause performance of any such agreement, and any expenses (including any reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgor as provided in Section 9 hereof.

11.

Liability of Agent.

(a) The Agent, in the Agent’s capacity as secured party hereunder, shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. The Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty (i) to perform any act which, in the Agent’s sole judgment, could involve any liability or any expense for which it will not be reimbursed or (ii) to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. The Pledgor shall indemnify and hold the Agent, and its agents, employees and officers harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Agent or such other indemnitee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, excepting losses, costs, expenses and claims arising as a result of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or release of any Collateral.

(b) The Agent shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, representation, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature reasonably believed by the Agent to be genuine, and the Agent may assume that any purported officer or other representative of the Pledgor or any Person acting directly or indirectly on its behalf or in a representative capacity therefor purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Agent may require such written certifications or directions from the Pledgor as it reasonably deems necessary or appropriate before taking any action hereunder. The Agent may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith. The Agent shall not be responsible for monitoring the Pledgor’s compliance with the Pledgor’s or any other Obligor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Pledgor’ or any other Obligor’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

12.

Continuing Security Interest.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments. Upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate (other than any provisions hereof expressly stated to survive termination) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and the Agent shall execute (and shall cause the Intermediary to execute) without recourse such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Pledgor to evidence such termination and the release of the lien hereof.

13.

Miscellaneous.

AMERICAS, AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND LENDERS NAMED HEREIN

ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

Blocked Account Control

Agreement (“Shifting Control”) l JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.

AGREEMENT dated as September , 2011, by and among TPG Specialty Lending, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Administrative Agent”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Depositary”).

The parties hereto refer to Account No. in the name of Company (the “Account”) and hereby agree as follows:

Company and Administrative Agent notify Depositary that pursuant to the Cash Distribution Account Security, Pledge and Assignment Agreement (Distribution Account) dated as of September , 2011 (as it may be amended, supplemented, renewed, extended, replaced or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Cash Collateral Agreement”) between Company and Administrative Agent, Company has granted Administrative Agent a security interest in the Account and in the funds on deposit from time to time therein. Depositary acknowledges being so notified.

It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent has control over the Account within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). Depositary agrees that it shall follow the instructions (as hereinafter defined) of Administrative Agent concerning the Account without further consent of Company. The Administrative Agent hereby instructs the Depositary that prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), Depositary shall honor all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions which the Company is entitled to give under the Account Documentation (as defined below) (collectively, “instructions”) received from the Company (but not those from Administrative Agent) concerning the Account. On and after the Effective Time (and without Company’s consent), Depositary shall honor all instructions received from Administrative Agent (but not those from Company) concerning the Account and Company shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account.

For the purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the First business day next succeeding the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Administrative Agent in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by the unit of the Depositary to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, on any business day, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second business day next succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a “business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving Account duly commenced by Depositary or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii) Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honoring Company’s instructions and/or commence honoring solely Administrative Agent’s instructions concerning Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that Administrative Agent has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above, or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified unit’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by Depositary (or if such Shifting Control Notice does not comply with the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of this Agreement), with no liability whatsoever to Company or any other party for doing so.

This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account Documentation”), which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any instructions on or after the Effective Time, Administrative Agent shall provide Depositary with such documentation as Depositary may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may request the Depositary to provide other services (such as automatic daily transfers) with respect to the Account on or after the Effective Time; however, if such services are not authorized or otherwise covered under the Account Documentation, Depositary’s decision to provide any such services shall be made in its sole discretion (including without limitation being subject to Company and/or Administrative Agent executing Account Documentation or other documentation as Depositary may require in connection therewith).

Depositary agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset, banker’s lien or other like right against Account for so long as this Agreement is in effect except with respect to (i) returned or charged-back items, reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers or other corrections or adjustments to Account or transactions therein, (ii) overdrafts in Account or (iii) Depositary’s charges, fees and expenses with respect to the Account or the services provided hereunder.

to it by Company or Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Depositary has no duty to make any further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Depositary has no knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the Cash Collateral Agreement referred to in paragraph 1 above or any other related documentation or whether any actions by Administrative Agent (including without limitation the sending of a Shifting Control Notice), Company or any other person or entity are permitted or a breach thereunder or consistent or inconsistent therewith, (iv) Depositary shall not be liable to any party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act under or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such conduct constitutes its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (and to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages); and (v) Depositary shall not be liable for losses or delays caused by force majeure, interruption or malfunction of computer, transmission or communications facilities, labor difficulties, court order or decree, the commencement of bankruptcy or other similar proceedings or other matters beyond Depositary’s reasonable control.

Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of outside counsel) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred as a result of following Company’s direction or instruction. Administrative Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any Covered Items incurred (i) on or after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding related thereto, (ii) as a result of following Administrative Agent’s direction or instruction (including without limitation Depositary’s honoring of a Shifting Control Notice) or (iii) due to any claim by Administrative Agent of an interest in the Account or the funds on deposit therein.

Depositary may terminate this Agreement (i) in its discretion upon the sending of at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto or (ii) because of a material breach by Company or Administrative Agent of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Account Documentation. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Depositary which occurs (i) prior to the Effective Time, Depositary will transfer all available balances in the Account on the date of such termination in accordance with Administrative Agent’s and Company’s joint written instructions, or (ii) after the Effective Time, Depositary will transfer all available balances in the Account on the date of such termination in accordance with Administrative Agent’s written instruction, provided that in both (i) and (ii) such written instructions are received by Depositary a minimum of three (3) business days prior to the date of termination Administrative Agent may terminate this Agreement in its discretion upon the sending of at least three (3) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Any other termination or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties hereto. The provisions of paragraphs 7 and 8 above shall survive any such termination.

As of the effective date of this Agreement, Depositary confirms that except for this Agreement and the applicable Account Documentation, (i) Depositary is not currently entered into any agreement with any person or entity pursuant to which Depositary is obligated to comply with instructions as to the disposition of funds from the Account and (ii) for the duration of this Agreement, Depositary shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into any agreement with any other person or entity pursuant to which Depositary is obligated to comply with instructions as to the disposition of funds from the Account. Depositary hereby confirms that Account is a deposit account maintained by Company with Depositary in Depositary’s ordinary course of business and that Depositary is a national banking association.

WHEREAS, Borrower and Deutsche Bank, as Lender and Administrative Agent, entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2011 (as same may be amended, supplemented, renewed, extended, replaced, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Lenders committed to make Loans to Borrower pursuant to the terms thereof; and

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that certain terms of the Credit Agreement be amended, and Deutsche Bank has consented thereto, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof; and

WHEREAS, terms used in this First Amendment which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings specified therein, as applicable (unless otherwise defined herein).

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement. Borrower and Deutsche Bank hereby amend the Credit Agreement, as of the date hereof, as follows:

(a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(i) The term “Eligible Investor” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Eligible Investors” means those Investors that have executed Acknowledgment Letters (or delivered Subscription Agreements containing substantially the same terms as the Acknowledgement Letters), and are not subject to an Exclusion Event.

(ii) The following new terms are added to Section 1.1 in appropriate alphabetical order:

“First Amendment Date” means the effective date of the First Amendment pursuant to Section 3 thereof.

“First Amendment” means the Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2011 by and among Borrower and Deutsche Bank, as a Lender and Administrative Agent.

(b) Section 2.21 (g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“(g) Acknowledgment Letters. Borrower shall provide an Acknowledgment Letter duly executed by each Eligible Investor (and in respect of any Subsequent Investor that is an Eligible Investor, Borrower shall provide an Acknowledgment Letter duly executed by such Subsequent Investor), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.21(g)-l. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Eligible Investor has executed a Subscription Agreement containing substantially the same terms as an Acknowledgment Letter, Borrower shall not be required to provide an Acknowledgment Letter for such Eligible Investor. Borrower shall

provide notice to each Investor that is not an Eligible Investor of the grant by Borrower of security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents, which notice may be made by Borrower pursuant to disclosure thereof in Borrower’s next relevant SEC filings to be made following the Closing Date.”

“Borrower shall obtain an Acknowledgment Letter (or a Subscription Agreement containing substantially the same terms as an Acknowledgment Letter) from each Subsequent Investor that becomes an Eligible Investor.”

Section 2. Acknowledgement of Control Agreement. The Borrower and Deutsche Bank hereby agree that the Account Control Agreement delivered on the Closing Date by Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Account Bank and the Administrative Agent satisfies the requirements of Section 2.21(e) of the Credit Agreement and no transfer of the Collateral Account or further amendment or replacement of the Account Control Agreement shall be required under Section 2.21(e) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby (i) confirms and reaffirms that the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the extent applicable to Borrower, are true and correct in all material respects as of the First Amendment Date, except to the extent that they relate to a particular date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, (ii) confirms that, after taking into account this First Amendment, there exists no Event of Default or, to Borrower’s knowledge, no event, which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) represents and warrants that Borrower has the power and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this First Amendment and is duly authorized to, and has taken all action necessary to authorize it to execute, deliver, and perform its respective obligations under this First Amendment.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. This First Amendment shall become effective on the First Amendment Date, which shall be the date hereof, subject to the Administrative Agent receiving this First Amendment duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other parties hereto;

Section 5. Agreements in Full Force and Effect as Amended. Except as specifically amended hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and are hereby ratified and affirmed by Borrower. All references to the Credit Agreement in any other document or instrument shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this First Amendment. This First Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but shall constitute an amendment thereof.

Section 6. Fees and Expenses. In accordance with Section 9.6 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay Administrative Agent all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees, in connection with preparing, executing, delivering and administering this First Amendment.
