Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 15, 2016, Hamilton Street Funding LLC (“Hamilton Street”), a wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of FS Investment Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Hamilton Street Credit Facility”), pursuant to (a) a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2016, by and among Hamilton Street, as borrower, each of the lenders from time to time party thereto, each of the lender agents from time to time party thereto, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, account bank and custodian, and (b) certain other related transaction documents.

The Hamilton Street Credit Facility provides for a five-year credit facility with a four-year revolving period, during which Hamilton Street is permitted to borrow, repay and reborrow advances up to $150,000,000, subject to its compliance with the terms of the Hamilton Street Credit Facility (including maintenance of the required borrowing base). The Hamilton Street Credit Facility has an accordion option that would permit the parties to increase the commitments by an additional $50,000,000 to $200,000,000. After the revolving period, outstanding advances under the Hamilton Street Credit Facility must be repaid by 5% each month until the maturity date at which time all remaining outstanding advances must be repaid. Hamilton Street will use the proceeds of the advances to distribute cash to the Company, and the Company, thereupon, will use such cash, in whole or in part, to retire other outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Hamilton Street has appointed the Company to manage its portfolio of assets pursuant to the terms of a collateral management agreement. Hamilton Street’s obligations to the lenders and other secured parties under the Hamilton Street Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Hamilton Street’s assets. The obligations of Hamilton Street under the Hamilton Street Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and, accordingly, the Company’s exposure under the Hamilton Street Credit Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Hamilton Street.

Hamilton Street will pay interest quarterly in arrears on the advances under the Hamilton Street Credit Facility at a rate per annum equal to (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate for a three-month interest period (subject to a 0% floor) plus (b) a spread of 2.50%. Hamilton Street will pay an undrawn fee during the revolving period in an amount equal to (a) 0.50% per annum on any unborrowed amounts up to 35% of the commitments plus (b) 1.65% per annum on any unborrowed amounts above that threshold.

In connection with the Hamilton Street Credit Facility, Hamilton Street has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The Hamilton Street Credit Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including: (a) Hamilton Street’s failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due; (b) any uncured deficiency in the required borrowing base or excess foreign currency exposure; (c) the failure of Hamilton Street or the Company to observe or perform their respective covenants under the transaction documents, subject to applicable cure periods; (d) Hamilton Street’s representation and warranties being false; (e) any cross-default to other material indebtedness of Hamilton Street or the Company after giving effect to applicable cure periods; (f) the insolvency or bankruptcy of Hamilton Street or the Company; (g) the failure of the Company to own 100% of the outstanding interests of Hamilton Street; (h) the failure of the Company to be regulated as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); (i) the failure of the Company to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 2 to 1; and (j) the failure of the Company to maintain a net asset value of at least $400,000,000. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Administrative Agent may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Hamilton Street Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

Borrowings of Hamilton Street will be considered borrowings by the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to business development companies.

Hamilton Street incurred certain customary costs and expenses and paid certain fees to HSBC Bank in connection with the Hamilton Street Credit Facility.

The foregoing descriptions of the Hamilton Street Credit Facility as set forth in this Item 1.01 are a summary only and are qualified in all respects by the provisions of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03.

(d) The Borrower will indemnify, from funds available to it pursuant to Section 2.04 the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by, or to the extent not paid pursuant to clause (a), required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, such Person and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or governmental authority; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Borrower. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of a participant register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or the Lenders shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (or if not practicable, as soon as practicable thereafter), the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(f) (i) If any Lender is not a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, to the extent validly able to do so, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (x) on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments thereto), W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Law), as appropriate, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender at a reduced rate of or without deduction or withholding of United States federal income, withholding or similar Taxes and (y) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(f), copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law or regulations) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may be required under Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender at a reduced rate of or without deduction or withholding of United States federal income, withholding or similar Taxes.

(ii) If a Lender is a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time by prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(iii) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from any payment to such Lender. Solely for the purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any non-U.S. legislation, rules or guidance notes adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement entered into with the United States with respect to FATCA, or that give effect to the OECD Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters-the Common Reporting Standard, in each case to the extent such legislation, rules and guidance notes are not materially more onerous to comply with than FATCA.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(i) If at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any Additional Amounts or indemnity payments in accordance with this Section 2.10, then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17(b) but without the payment of any Call Protection Payment); provided that, such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.10 in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.11 Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) (i) the Collateral Management Agreement (ii) the Locust Participation Agreement, (iii) the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, (iv) the Loan Agreements related to each Loan Asset, and (v) all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement.

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

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Portfolio shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or Pledge a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) the Borrower shall remain liable under such Collateral Portfolio to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in such Collateral Portfolio shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under such Collateral Portfolio, and (z) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent nor any Secured Party, nor any of their respective successors and assigns, shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral Portfolio by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent nor any Secured Party, nor any of their respective successors and assigns, be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each assignment and acceptance agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (including principal amounts and stated interest on the Loan Assets) (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Lender Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

Section 2.14 Survival of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 made on each Cut-Off Date, Advance Date, Reporting Date and any date on which Loan Assets are Pledged hereunder shall survive the pledge to the Collateral Agent hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.15 Release of Loan Assets. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Person obtaining such released Loan Asset and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Borrower, give notice of such release to the Custodian (in the form of Exhibit M) (unless the Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower.

Section 2.16 Treatment of Amounts Received by the Borrower. Amounts received by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.

Section 2.17 Mandatory and Voluntary Prepayments; Termination; Reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount.

(a) On each Payment Date during the Redemption Period, the Borrower shall reduce the Advances Outstanding by depositing in the Principal Collection Subaccount an amount equal to the Redemption Principal Reduction Amount. On the Termination Date, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account all remaining Advances Outstanding, together with all Yield, Fees and all other Obligations then due and owing until such amounts have been paid in full.

(b) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including, any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency or Foreign Currency Excess Exposure, Advances Outstanding may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender Agents by 11:00 a.m. at least one Business Day prior to such reduction; provided that any prepayment of a Foreign Currency Loan Asset shall be made in the related Foreign Currency. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay in full all other accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that, no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) shall be revocable by the Borrower only to the extent that such prepayment notice stated that such prepayment was conditioned upon the effectiveness of some other event not subject to the control of the Borrower or its Affiliates, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition to prepayment is or will not be satisfied.

(c) The Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than three Business Days’ (and if commercially practicable, not less than 10 Business Days’) prior written notice of such termination or permanent reduction in the form of Exhibit G to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Account Bank and the Lender Agents, either (i) terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Undrawn Fees, any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Custodian, Account Bank, Lender Agents and Lenders, any applicable Call Protection Payment (pro rata to each Lender Agent for the account of the applicable Lender) and all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations), or (ii) permanently reduce in part the Maximum Facility Amount upon payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Yield and Undrawn Fees (pro rata with respect to the portion of the Maximum Facility Amount so reduced), any Breakage Fees, any Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Custodian, Account Bank, Lender Agents and Lenders and any applicable Call Protection Payment (pro rata to each Lender Agent for the account of the applicable Lender); provided that, in each case no Call Protection Payment shall be due and payable so long as (A) such termination or permanent reduction occurs no sooner than the date which is one year following the Closing Date or (B) such termination or permanent reduction occurs as a result of a refinancing of this credit facility in connection with any transaction for which HSBC (or any of its Affiliates) serves as the arranger, underwriter or placement agent for such transaction. Any Termination/Reduction Notice relating to any reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) shall be revocable by the Borrower only to the extent that such prepayment notice stated that such prepayment was conditioned upon the effectiveness of some other event not subject to the control of the Borrower or its Affiliates, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition to prepayment is or will not be satisfied. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.17(c).

(d) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Call Protection Payment constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

Section 2.18 Collections and Allocations.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall promptly identify all Collections received in the Collection Account as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and shall segregate all Principal Collections and Interest Collections and transfer the same to the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection Subaccount, respectively. If, notwithstanding such compliance, the Collateral Manager receives any collections directly, the Borrower shall demand that the Collateral Manager to transfer any such collections received directly by it (if any) to the Collection Account by the close of business within two Business Days after such collections are received; provided that, the Borrower shall require the Collateral Manager to identify to the Collateral Agent and the Account Bank any collections received directly by the Collateral Manager as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections. The Collateral Agent shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection Subaccount no later than three Business Days after each Determination Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b). It is understood and agreed that the Borrower shall remain liable for the proper allocation of the aforementioned collections into the appropriate accounts.

(b) On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, all Collections received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets shall be transferred to and included as part of the Collateral Portfolio on such date.

(c) So long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default is Continuing and the Termination Date has not occurred, the Borrower may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Borrower has, prior to such withdrawal, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their sole discretion.

(d) Prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Borrower shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Unfunded Exposure Account in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Amounts in the Payment Account shall not be invested. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall not be invested. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and otherwise comply with assumptions of the legal opinions of Clifford Chance US LLP dated the Closing Date and delivered in connection with this Agreement; provided that compliance shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and not the Collateral Agent and Account Bank.

None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in the Collection Account or Unfunded Exposure Account, other than with respect to fraud or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments.

(e) Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Collateral Manager shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04, Section 2.18(d) or Section 2.19.

Section 2.19 Reinvestment of Principal Collections. On the terms and conditions set forth herein as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent, the Lender Agents and Administrative Agent, prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount:

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

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

(ii) no Event of Default is Continuing, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default, Borrowing Base Deficiency or Foreign Currency Excess Exposure is Continuing or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment;

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof shall continue to be correct in all respects (except to the extent relating to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall continue to be correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(iv) the Borrower provides same day written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by facsimile or email (to be received no later than 1:00 p.m. on such day) of the request to withdraw Principal Collections and the amount of such request;

(v) the notice required in clause (iv) above shall be accompanied by a Disbursement Request and a Borrowing Base Certificate, executed by the Borrower; and

(vi) the Collateral Agent provides to the Administrative Agent by facsimile (to be received no later than 1:30 p.m. on that same day) a statement reflecting the total amount on deposit as of the opening of business on such day in the Principal Collection Subaccount; or

(b) withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.17.

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.19 (as certified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent will release funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) the amount requested by the Borrower and (y) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the provisions of this Section 2.20 will apply to the Defaulting Lender until the Default Period has ended, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a) Each such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 11.01.

(b) Until such time as the Default Excess of any such Defaulting Lender Group has been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the aggregate Advances outstanding will be applied to the Advances of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.04 in accordance with the Adjusted Pro Rata Shares.

(c) The amount of each such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Advances will be excluded for purposes of calculating the Undrawn Fee, and each such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee in connection with such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment for any Default Period relating to such Defaulting Lender.

(d) All or any part of each such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Advances will be reallocated among the Non Defaulting Lender Groups in accordance with their respective Adjusted Pro Rata Shares, but only to the extent that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower has otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower will be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (ii) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Advances of any Non Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No such reallocation will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party under this Agreement against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender’s having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e) If each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that resulted in it becoming a Defaulting Lender, then the Advances of the Lenders will be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par so much of the Advances of the other Lender Groups or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary to cause the aggregate Advances outstanding to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments and Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.20(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender.

(f) No amount of the Commitment of any Lender will be increased or otherwise affected by, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.20, performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of, any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.20. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender, Lender Agent or Lender Group may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

Section 2.21 Increase of Commitments. The Borrower may, at its option, request the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder to an amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (subject to the payment of any additional fees that may be required in connection with such increase). Subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender or Lenders providing such increased Commitment hereunder (in their absolute and sole discretion), the Commitments hereunder shall be increased to an amount set forth in a revised Annex A distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and each Lender Agent; provided, that the increase of Commitments hereunder shall not be subject to the written consent of the Required Lenders.

The Borrower has designated FS Investment Corporation, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Collateral Management Agreement, as the initial Collateral Manager with the authority to service, administer and exercise rights and remedies, on behalf of the Borrower, in respect of the Collateral Portfolio. FS Investment Corporation has accepted such appointment. The Collateral Manager and the Borrower each acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Collateral Manager under Collateral Management Agreement.

Section 6.02 Duties of the Collateral Manager. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Collateral Manager and not inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral Portfolio by the Transferor to the Borrower under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement and, thereafter, the Pledge by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral Portfolio, including, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Interest Collections and Principal Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral Portfolio and, after the delinquency of any Collateral Portfolio and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Transferor could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral Portfolio.

Section 6.03 Collection of Payments; Accounts.

(a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral Portfolio. The Borrower will collect, or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral Portfolio as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Borrower may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral Portfolio (or suffer or permit to occur any of the foregoing by any Person, including the Collateral Manager) in any manner contrary to the Servicing Standard.

(b) Acceleration. If consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Borrower shall accelerate or vote to accelerate, as applicable, the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Loan Asset promptly after such Loan Asset becomes defaulted.

(c) Taxes and other Amounts. The Borrower will collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan Asset to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application under the applicable Loan Agreement and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Loan Agreements.

(d) Payments to Collection Account. On or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the Borrower shall have instructed all Obligors, administrative agents or other agents with respect to a Loan Asset to make all payments in respect of the Collateral Portfolio directly to the Collection Account; provided that, the Borrower is not required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor or other surety (or an Obligor that is not designated as the “lead borrower” or another such similar term) unless and until the Borrower calls on the related guaranty or secondary obligation.

(e) Collection Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the Collection Account is intended to be a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the Account Control Agreement, prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Borrower shall be entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset held in the Collection Account and have the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account; provided that after the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, such rights shall be exclusively held by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Account Bank (or other securities intermediary) that holds any money or other property for the Borrower in the Collection Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the Collection Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC, the cash and other property credited thereto is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the UCC, (B) regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Collection Account, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s (or other securities intermediary’s) jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC), and (C) it shall comply with all entitlement orders and all directions to dispose of funds in the Collection Account in each case without further consent of the Borrower. To the extent that the Collection Account is re-characterized as a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304(b) of the UCC), the Account Bank shall be the “bank” and the Collateral Agent shall be the bank’s “customer” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC).

(f) Loan Agreements. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Custodian nor any securities intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any necessary consents). The Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Adjustments. If (i) a deposit is made into the Collection Account in respect of an Interest Collection or a Principal Collection of a Loan Asset and such Interest Collection or Principal Collection in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Borrower makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Interest Collection or Principal Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Interest Collection or Principal Collection, the Borrower shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Section 6.04 Realization Upon Loan Assets. The Borrower will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Related Collateral relating to a defaulted Loan Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. The Borrower will comply with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Related Collateral, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Related Collateral at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Borrower may cause the sale of any such Related Collateral to its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan Asset, the Related Collateral, the sale price of the Related Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Related Collateral. In any case in which any such Related Collateral has suffered damage, the Borrower will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Related Collateral unless it reasonably determines at the time of such expenditure that such repair and/or foreclosure or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Borrower will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan Asset.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.13, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

100

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

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

Article IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDER AGENTS

Section 9.01 The Administrative Agent.

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

101

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such sub-agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent that in has selected with reasonable care.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for, nor have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to, any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Collateral Manager or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith; (vii) shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person and the Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon; and (viii) shall not have any duty to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition to the making of an Advance, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent receives notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Lender Agent prior to the making of such loan.

102

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise and only so long as so directed in writing to take such discretionary action by the Lenders or the Lender Agents. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lender Agents as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and Lender Agents against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, including prepayment of any related expenses and other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such discretionary action at the direction of the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lender Agents or as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or court order; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent or in the opinion of its counsel, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of a property interest in violation of any applicable Bankruptcy Laws. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender Agent pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within 10 Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are several and not joint. Failure by any one Lender to perform its obligations does not affect the obligations (or liability) of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender thereunder.

(e) Notice of Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Lender Agent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default” or “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default”, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Lender Agents acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lender Agents; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction from the Lender Agents acting jointly, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

103

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Transferor or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral Portfolio, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender Agent as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s sub-agents, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide and shall not be liable for the failure to provide any Lender Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(g) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Lender Agent agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent required to be so reimbursed, but not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, from and against any and all actual or prospective claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting the provisions set forth herein, each Lender Agent agrees (i) to indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, from and against any and all actual or prospective claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, in accordance with the directions of the Lender Agents and (ii) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lender Agents or Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager. Indemnification provisions survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of repayment of the Borrower’s obligations, the expiration or termination of the Lenders’ commitments, the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation and removal of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Transaction Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement.

104

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon thirty days’ written notice thereof to each Lender Agent and the Borrower whether or not a successor has been appointed (the “Resignation Effective Date”), and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lender Agents acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee, subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be (i) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) required at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Termination Date). Each Lender Agent agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (x) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (y) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent). Regardless of whether a successor is appointed as of the Resignation Effective Date, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or Lender Agent directly, until such time, if any, as the Lender or Lender Agents appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the Resignation Effective Date, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to the retiring Administrative Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lender Agents in accordance with their related Lender’s respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their related Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender Agent on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender Agent not later than the following Business Day.

105

(j) Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent may make loans to, accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as a financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any Lender Agent or Lender. With respect to Advances Outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender,” and “Lenders,” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

(k) Administrative Agent in the Case of any Bankruptcy Proceeding. In case of any Bankruptcy Proceeding involving the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, but not obligated, to intervene in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to (i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, interest and unpaid fees in respect of the Advances and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid under the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to file such documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of any of the foregoing entities and their respective agents, counsel and other advisors) allowed in the proceedings related to such Bankruptcy Proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on account of any such claims and to distribute the same to the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement. Further, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or similar official in any such Bankruptcy Proceeding is (A) authorized to make payments or distributions in a Bankruptcy Proceeding directly to the Administrative Agent on behalf of all of the Lenders to whom any amounts are owed under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, unless the Administrative Agent expressly consents in writing to the making of such payments or distributions directly to such Lenders; and (B) required to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

Section 9.02 The Lender Agents.

(a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender, respectively, hereby designates and appoints its related Lender Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Lender Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with its related Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for its related Lender and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other Lender. No Lender Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Lender Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of each Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations. Each Lender Agent hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any UCC financing statement deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on such Lender Agent ).

106

(b) Delegation of Duties. Each Lender Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Lender Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) responsible in any manner to its related Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower contained in Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No Lender Agent shall be under any obligation to its related Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower. No Lender Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless such Lender Agent has received notice from the Borrower or its related Lender.

(d) Reliance by Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of its related Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its related Lender; provided that, unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, such Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Lender Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of its related Lender. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon its related Lender.

(e) Non-Reliance on Lender Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither its related Lender Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Lender Agent hereafter taken, including, any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Lender Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to its related Lender Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon its related Lender Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

107

(f) Lender Agents are in their Respective Individual Capacities. Each Lender Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as a financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent were not a Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances Outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender,” and “Lenders,” shall include the Lender Agent in its individual capacity.

(g) Successor Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and its related Lender, and such Lender Agent will, upon the direction of its related Lender resign as the Lender Agent for such Lender. If any Lender Agent shall resign, then its related Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent that qualifies as an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of such Lender or subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). If for any reason no successor agent is appointed by such Lender during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations due to such Lender directly to such Lender, and for all purposes shall deal directly with such Lender. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Lender Agent, the provisions of Article VIII and this Article IX shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Lender Agent under this Agreement.

Section 9.03 Force Majeure. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or not fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

Section 9.04 Enforcement. The authority to enforce rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents against the Borrower or any guarantor shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of all the Lenders.

Section 9.05 Administrative Agent Compensation. As compensation for its Administrative Agent activities hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the Administrative Agent Expenses from the Borrower as set forth in the definition of Administrative Agent Expenses, payable to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent’s entitlement to receive the Administrative Agent Expenses shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (a) its removal as the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.01 or (b) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (a) into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Administrative Agent substantially as a whole or to which substantially all of the corporate trust or agency business of the Administrative Agent is transferred, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be the successor to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

108

Article X

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 10.01 Designation of the Collateral Agent.

(a) Initial Collateral Agent. Each of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Lender Agents and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Collateral Agent to act as its agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral Portfolio and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and on behalf of each of the Secured Parties and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Collateral Agent by this Agreement. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Successor Collateral Agent. Upon the Collateral Agent’s receipt of a Collateral Agent Termination Notice from the Administrative Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.05, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will terminate its activities as the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) Secured Party. The Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders hereby appoint U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as the Collateral Agent hereunder, as their agent for the purposes of perfection of a security interest in the Collateral Portfolio. U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as the Collateral Agent hereunder, hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties set forth in Section 10.02(b).

Section 10.02 Duties of the Collateral Agent.

(a) Appointment. The Borrower, the Lenders, the Lender Agents and the Administrative Agent each hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein.

(b) Duties. On or before the initial Advance Date, and until its removal pursuant to Section 10.05, the Collateral Agent shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:

(i) The Collateral Agent shall calculate (based upon information provided by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, upon which the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely) amounts to be remitted pursuant to Section 2.04 to the applicable parties and notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the event of any discrepancy between the Collateral Agent’s calculations and the Servicing Report (such dispute to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.05).

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Report or as otherwise directed in accordance with Sections 2.04 or 2.05.

109

(iii) The Collateral Agent shall provide to the Borrower a copy of all written notices and communications identified as being sent to it in connection with the Loan Assets and the other Collateral Portfolio held hereunder which it receives from the related Obligor, participating bank and/or agent bank. In no instance shall the Collateral Agent be under any duty or obligation to take any action on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the exercise of any voting or consent rights, or similar actions, unless it receives specific written instructions from the Borrower, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of Event of Default, in which event the Collateral Agent shall vote, consent or take such other action in accordance with such instructions.

(iv) The Collateral Agent shall create a database (the “Collateral Portfolio Database”) with respect to the Loan Assets held by the Borrower on the Closing Date based on the information provided to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall permit access to the information in the Collateral Portfolio Database by the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall update the Collateral Portfolio Database promptly for Loan Assets and Permitted Investments acquired or sold or otherwise disposed of and for any amendments or changes to Loan Asset amounts or interest rates.

(v) The Collateral Agent shall establish the Collection Account, the Payment Account and the Unfunded Exposure Account in the name of the Collateral Agent under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, together with such additional subaccounts as the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time are necessary for administrative convenience. In connection with the establishment of such accounts and to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Collateral Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Collateral Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent an entity or other relevant documentation.

(vi) The Collateral Agent shall track the receipt and daily allocation of cash to the Interest Collection Subaccount and Principal Collection Subaccount and any withdrawals therefrom and, on each Business Day, provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent daily reports reflecting such actions to the Interest Collection Subaccount and Principal Collection Subaccount as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day.

(vii) The Collateral Agent shall assist and reasonably cooperate with the independent certified public accountants in the preparation of those reports required under Section 6.10.

(viii) The Collateral Agent shall provide the Borrower with such other information as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower and as is within the possession of the Collateral Agent.

(c) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact. The exculpatory provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such sub-agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent that in has selected with reasonable care.

110

(d) (i) The Administrative Agent, each Lender Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto (subject to clause (ii) below). In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loan Assets now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Nothing in this Section 10.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its obligations, or impose the Borrower’s obligations on the Collateral Agent, to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral Portfolio, including, to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral Portfolio in accordance with Section 5.01(u).

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

(iii) Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement (x) unless and until (and to the extent) expressly so directed by the Administrative Agent or (y) prior to the Termination Date (and upon such occurrence, the Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (x)). The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Agent.

111

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

(f) Concurrently herewith, the Administrative Agent directs the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into the Account Control Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections and immunities provided herein shall apply to the Collateral Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Account Control Agreement in such capacity.

Section 10.03 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (a) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Agent substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 10.04 Collateral Agent Compensation. As compensation for its Collateral Agent activities hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the fees and expenses set forth in the Account Bank and Custodian Fee Letter, payable to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04. The Collateral Agent’s entitlement to receive such fees and expenses shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10.05, (ii) its resignation as the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10.07, or (iii) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.05 Collateral Agent Removal. The Collateral Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent by notice given in writing to the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Collateral Agent Termination Notice, the Collateral Agent shall continue to act in such capacity until a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Administrative Agent and has agreed to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent shall continue to receive compensation of its fees and expenses in accordance with Section 10.04 above while so serving as the Collateral Agent prior to a successor Collateral Agent being appointed.

Section 10.06 Limitation on Liability.

(a) The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

112

(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

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

(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder.

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Portfolio. The Collateral Agent shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, or any other Person. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failing to perform or delay in performing its specified duties hereunder which result from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, or any other Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Agent.

(h) Subject in all cases to the last sentence of Section 2.05, in case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Termination Date, request instructions from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Termination Date, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

113

(i) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or the Custodian under this Agreement and shall not be required to monitor the performance of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or the Custodian. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to perform any of the duties of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or the Custodian under this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Collateral Agent Resignation. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 90 days’ written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and, so long as no Event of Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is then continuing, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a successor collateral agent or collateral agents that are not Competitors by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by the Administrative Agent, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent so resigning and one copy to the successor collateral agent or collateral agents, together with a copy to the Borrower and the Custodian; provided, that so long as no Event of Default is Continuing or the Termination Date has not occurred, such successor collateral agent or collateral agents shall be approved by the Borrower (such approval not unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor collateral agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within 45 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may not resign prior to a successor Collateral Agent being appointed. For the avoidance of doubt, any expenses shall be payable to the Collateral Agent so resigning until such time as a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed.

Each Lender may assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in (A) this Agreement and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part (including by way of the sale of participation interests therein) or (B) any Advances or any Revolving Note (or any portion thereof); provided any such sale or assignment hereunder (1) if an Event of Default is not Continuing, shall be either (i) to an Affiliate of the related assignor, or (ii) to any other Eligible Assignee, subject to the prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (2) if an Event of Default is Continuing, shall be to any Eligible Assignee or any Competitor; provided, any Lender who proposes to sell or assign all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder (a “Lender Interest”) to a Competitor shall first make a written offer to FSIC to sell such Lender Interest. FSIC shall have the right (but not the obligation) within five Business Days of such notice from the Lender to purchase such Lender Interest at a purchase price equal to 100% of such Lender Interest plus accrued interest and fees thereunder; provided, if FSIC does not purchase the Lender Interest within such five Business Day period, such Lender shall be free to sell its Lender Interest to a Competitor; and provided, further, the Lender Interest assigned to FSIC (or its Affiliates), including the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment included therein, shall be disregarded in determining any consent or approval of the Lenders or Required Lenders hereunder. The limitations on assignment to a Competitor set forth in this Agreement, including this Section 11.04, do not, and shall not be interpreted to, limit in any manner the rights and remedies granted under Article VII with respect to the disposition under the UCC or Applicable Law of all or any portion of the Collateral Portfolio, including any Loan Assets. Any such assignee, that is not, immediately prior thereto, a Lender hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the purchaser of a participation interest or the grantee of a security interest, but which shall include any such grantee of a security interest at the time of completion, but not before, of any foreclosure on such security interest where such grantee seeks to become a Lender hereunder) shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto (a “Transferee Letter”) and a fully-executed Joinder Supplement. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall (i) execute and deliver to the related Lender Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender Agent and (ii) pay any related customary processing fees to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may not assign, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender Agent and the Administrative Agent. 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 by the applicable provisions of the Agreement and, to the extent expressly contemplated thereby, the related parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (a) 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 the applicable provisions of the Agreement.

117

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that, no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(c) If a Lender (i) is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and the Majority Lenders consented (whether pursuant to Section 11.01 or otherwise), or (iii) requests that the Administrative Agent deliver a demand for payment by the Borrower of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (b), then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Borrower may, by notice to the applicable Lender Agent within 120 days after such event (with a copy of such notice concurrently delivered to the Administrative Agent), require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees specified by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent within 20 days after the Borrower’s notice. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such assignment if any Lender fails to execute same. The affected Lender Agent on behalf of the Lender Group shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Transaction Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (b) the request for which resulted in the application of this Section 11.04(c)).

(d) Upon the effectuation of any assignment by any Lender of all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents pursuant to Section 11.04(a) or Section 11.04(c) and the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all assignment documentation and the Transferee Letter, the Administrative Agent shall revise Annex A to reflect such assignment.

(e) In the event any Lender sells a participation interest hereunder pursuant to Section 11.04(a), (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) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.01(g) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its participant. 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, other than those provisions set forth in Section 11.01(b), for which consent of such participant may be required.

Section 11.05 Term of this Agreement. This Agreement, including, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V, shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that, the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Articles VIII, IX and Article XI and the provisions of Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 11.07, Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
