COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1 Commitments of Each Lender. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and clause (d) below, each Lender severally and for itself alone agrees to make a Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment.

(b) Each Lender shall, on the First Refinancing Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, severally, but not jointly, make a term loan (a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower (or the Collateral Trustee on its behalf for deposit in the Payment Account pursuant to the wiring instructions on Schedule 4 hereto) in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment. The commitment of each Lender to make Loans under this Section 2.1(b) is herein referred to as its “Commitment” and, together with its Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment, is set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

(c) Each Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Subject to the terms hereof, the Borrower may from time to time prepay the Loans in accordance with the Priority of Payments and in connection with an Optional Redemption; provided that the Borrower may not borrow or re-borrow any Loans after prepayment or repayment thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Lenders executing and delivering this Agreement was an Original Class A Lender and made Original Class A Loans in the amount of $50,000,000 (which excludes accrued interest and other non-principal amounts owing, if any) under the Original Credit Agreement (with respect to such Original Class A Lender, such principal amount, the “Existing Principal” and such Loans, the “Existing Loans”) and has elected a “Cashless Settlement Option” in its Existing Loans (each an “Existing Lender” and collectively, the “Existing Lenders”).

(e) Pursuant to this Agreement, the Lenders will make new Loans (such new loans, the “New Loans”) to the Borrower for the purpose of prepaying in full the Existing Loans. The Borrower hereby offers to each Existing Lender to exchange the Existing Loans held by such Existing Lender on the First Refinancing Date for New Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Existing Loan and fund the remainder of the New Loan with cash so that the aggregate principal amount of New Loans is equal to $50,000,000 (consisting of $32,392,346.06 of New

Loans made in-kind for the Existing Loans and $17,607,653.94 of New Loans funded with cash), which shall be evidenced and governed by this Agreement, and each Existing Lender hereby agrees to accept such Cashless Settlement Option with respect to its Existing Loans. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby further agree that the funding notice, dated as of the date hereof, executed by the Borrower and acknowledged by the Lenders with respect to the New Loans will only include a request for the amount of New Loans funded in cash after exercise of the Cashless Settlement Option and that any Lender Note issued in connection with the Original Class A Loans shall be deemed surrendered and canceled on the First Refinancing Date.

ARTICLE III

LOANS AND LENDER NOTES

Section 3.1 Borrowing Procedure. Borrowings of Loans shall be made in accordance with this Section 3.1.

Section 3.1.1 Funding of the Borrowing. (a) Upon receipt of confirmation from the Borrower (or its counsel on its behalf) that the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 have been satisfied, each Lender shall make available its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Percentage) of the Aggregate Commitments in immediately available funds to the Collateral Trustee in the manner provided below. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars, and in immediately available funds to the Collateral Trustee for deposit pursuant to the Indenture.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments and other commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 3.2 Lender Notes. (a) On the Loan Date to the extent requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall (i) sign a Lender Note in the name of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments, which such Lender Notes shall be dated the Loan Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Lender Note”) and (ii) deliver such Lender Note to such Lender (with a copy to the Loan Agent). If requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall obtain a CUSIP or other loan identification number that is customary for the nature of the Loans made hereunder. To the extent any Lender does not elect to receive a Lender Note, the Loan Agent shall, upon instruction of the Borrower, deliver to such Lender a Confirmation of Registration in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Loan Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on its internal records, which notations shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of, and the Interest Rate applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby. The notations on such internal records indicating the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans made by such Lender shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, but the failure to record any such amount, or any error therein, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Lender Note to make payment of principal of or interest on such Loans when due. At any time (including to replace any Lender Note that has been destroyed or lost) when any Lender requests the delivery of a new Lender Note to evidence any of its Loans, the

Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender the Lender Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, other than in the case of a substitute or replacement Lender Note to replace a Lender Note that has been destroyed or lost, only one Lender Note shall be issued to any Lender and the Loan Agent shall not deliver a new Lender Note to any requesting Lender until such Lender surrenders the Lender Note currently held by such Lender; provided, further that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Lender Note, the Borrower and the Loan Agent shall have received from such requesting Lender (i) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Lender Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and the Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and/or such Transfer Agent that such Lender Note has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC), the Borrower shall execute and, upon receipt of such executed Lender Note, the Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note, the new Lender Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its issuance, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, further that, in connection with the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of the Loans, each Lender shall surrender the Lender Notes to the Loan Agent for payment of the Redemption Price or final payment of principal of such Loans in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Such surrender shall occur either at the address specified herein for the Loan Agent or, with respect to any Redemption Date, in accordance with the redemption notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Indenture.

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

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.2, the Borrower may require the payment by the Lender thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Collateral Trustee) connected therewith.

All Lender Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, conversion, exchange or redemption, or mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Loan Agent and may not be reissued or resold. No Lender Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, donation, gift, contribution or other event or circumstance) except for payment as provided herein, or for registration of transfer, exchange,

conversion or redemption, or for replacement in connection with any Lender Note mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen. Any such Lender Note shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Loan Agent, be delivered to the Loan Agent. All canceled Lender Notes held by the Loan Agent shall be destroyed or held by the Loan Agent in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Borrower shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

The provisions of this Section 3.2 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Notes.

Section 3.3 Principal Payments.

Section 3.3.1 Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall make payments of unpaid principal of the Loan on each Payment Date to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments and Article IX of the Indenture.

Section 3.3.2 Application.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loans shall comprise and be a part of the Class A-R Debt and, as such, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture applicable to the Class A-R Debt, and shall have the rights afforded in the Indenture to the Class A-R Debt (to the extent of the component thereof consisting of the Loans).

Section 3.3.3 Mandatory Prepayment. The Loans are subject to prepayment in connection with a Mandatory Redemption as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Indenture.

Section 3.3.8 Tax Prepayment. The Loans are subject to prepayment in connection with a Tax Redemption as set forth in Section 9.3 of the Indenture.

Section 3.4 Interest.

Section 3.4.1 Interest Rules and Calculations. (a) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in respect of each Loan, on each Payment Date and on any date of prepayment or repayment of such Loan, commencing on the first Payment Date following the Loan Date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (including the subordination provisions set forth in Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a) thereof). For each Loan, interest shall accrue during each Interest Accrual Period on the unpaid Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Loan for on the first day of the applicable Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereon on such date).

(b) Interest due and payable on each Loan shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Indenture.

(c) The Borrower shall make all payments of interest to the Loan Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with Section 3.5.

(d) The Lenders hereby consent to the Borrower’s appointment of the Collateral Administrator to serve as Calculation Agent under the Indenture. All computations of interest due shall be made by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Section 8.7 hereof. The Borrower hereby agrees that for so long as any Loans remain Outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent appointed under the Indenture to calculate the Benchmark (or any applicable successor base rate) in respect of the Loans.

(e) In no event shall the rate of interest applicable to any Loan exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 3.5 Method and Place of Payment. (a) All payments by the Borrower of principal and interest in respect of Loans hereunder and all fees shall be made, to the extent funds are available pursuant to the Priority of Payments, in accordance with Section 2.8 and Section 11.1 of the Indenture. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Loan Agent for the ratable (based on their applicable Percentages) account of the Lenders entitled thereto (which funds, if delivered to the Loan Agent, the Loan Agent shall promptly forward to such Lenders), on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds to the account with the wire instructions specified in Schedule 3 (or in the Assignment Agreement, as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, all payments by the Borrower of principal and interest in respect of Loans, or any other amounts owed to a Lender hereunder, payable on a Payment Date shall be made to the Lender of record as of the corresponding Record Date.

Section 3.6 Subordination.

(a) All Loans incurred pursuant to this Agreement are subject to, and each Lender hereby consents and agrees to, the subordination and remedy provisions set forth in Section 13.1 of the Indenture. Article XIII of the Indenture shall be binding upon each Lender as though such sections (and the corresponding defined terms) had been set forth herein in their entirety.

(b) Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of its Loans are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture and shall be paid solely to the extent of available funds in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Each Lender hereby agrees and acknowledges that its right to payment shall be subordinate and junior to any payments owed under Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) and (B), any applicable payments owed under Section 11.1(a)(ii)(A) senior to payments with respect to the Loans and any payments owed under Section 11.1(a)(iii)(A) and (B) (collectively, the “Senior Items”) of the Indenture, as applicable. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, any Lender shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of its Loans contrary to the provisions of the Indenture or this Agreement, then, unless and until each Senior Item shall have been paid in full in Cash or, to the extent each recipient of such Senior Item consents, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Collateral Trustee, which shall pay and deliver the same in respect of the Senior Items in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Collateral Trustee as part of the Assets and subject in all respects to the provisions of the Indenture. Each Lender agrees with all recipients of Senior Items that such Lender shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of its Loans in violation of the provisions of the Indenture.

(c) Collateral Trustee Entitled to Assume Payment Not Prohibited in Absence of Notice. The Collateral Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Collateral Trustee unless and until the Collateral Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless and until the Collateral Trustee shall have received and accepted (in its role as Collateral Trustee) written notice thereof from the Borrower (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee) or persons representing themselves to be other holders of Obligations and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Collateral Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists, and the Collateral Trustee shall have no liability hereunder for any payment made, or action taken, by it without such knowledge or notice.

Section 3.7 Conversion. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon delivery from 100% of the Lenders to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Rating Agency and the Borrower of a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, the Lenders may elect any Payment Date (such Payment Date, the “Conversion Date”) upon which all of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans shall be converted into Class A-NR Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount in accordance with Section 2.14 of the Indenture; provided that (i) the Conversion Date shall be no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the date such notice is delivered (or such earlier date as may be reasonably agreed to by the Lenders, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent) and (ii) the Conversion Date shall only occur on a Payment Date. On the Conversion Date, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-NR Notes shall be increased by the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans so converted. The Loans so converted will cease to be outstanding and will be deemed to have been repaid in full for all purposes under the Indenture and under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) not less than all of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans may be converted into Class A-NR Notes and, once exercised, the conversion option may not be exercised again and (y) no Class of Notes may be converted into Loans.

(b) The Lenders agree to provide reasonable assistance to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent in connection with such conversion, including, but not limited to, providing applicable instructions to DTC.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise the Conversion Option concurrently with an assignment of all or a portion of its Loans (an “Assignment/Conversion”) such that the Effective Date (as defined in the Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto) of the assignment occurs on the related Conversion Date and the assignee receives Class A-NR Notes in lieu of the portion of the Loans being assigned. Any assignment made in connection with an Assignment/Conversion shall meet the requirements for an assignment set forth in Section 8.4. Any Lender electing to make an Assignment/Conversion shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to the Conversion Date, (x) an executed Assignment Agreement, (y) a completed notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and (z) the assignment fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.4(c) hereof.

(d) Additionally, the Lenders are permitted to elect to remove the Conversion Option related to the Loans at the direction of 100% of the Lenders; provided that no other Holders will have the right to object or be required to consent to the removal of the Conversion Option and any amendment removing the applicable Conversion Option will be deemed to not be related to the Indenture and to solely affect the Lenders and will not be subject to the provisions of the Indenture; provided further that upon the removal of the Conversion Option, any provision of the Indenture related to such right, will be deemed amended in connection with such amendment of this Agreement and have no further force or effect for the purposes of the Indenture or this Agreement.

If the Borrower fails to provide such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the Successor Agent, the Successor Agent shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Borrower.

(g) If the Bank shall resign or be removed as Collateral Trustee, the Bank shall also resign or be removed as Loan Agent and Collateral Trustee and as any other capacity in which the Bank is then acting pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

Section 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Agents. Every Successor Agent appointed hereunder and qualified under Section 7.9 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower and the retiring Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and, to the extent such Successor Agent shall be a party thereto, the Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Agent shall become effective and such Successor Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent; but, on request of the Borrower or a Majority of the Lenders or the Successor Agent, such retiring Agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such Successor Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Agent all property held by such retiring Agent hereunder. Upon request of any such Successor Agent, the Borrower shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such Successor Agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

Section 7.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Agents. Any organization or entity into which an Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Agent, shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII hereof, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, further, that the Agents shall give notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, each Lender, and the Rating Agency.

(d) No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, (i) is prohibited by, or requires the Bank to obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration under, any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree that is binding upon the Bank or any of its properties or assets, or (ii) will violate any provision of, result in any default or acceleration of any obligations under, result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to, or require any consent under, any material agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (A) of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and (B) of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee in connection with any Default or with the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Trustee, counsel for the Loan Agent and one (1) counsel in total for all Lenders, collectively). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Loan Agent or the Collateral Trustee set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preceding sentence and the Priority of Payments. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be made on the first Payment Date that funds are available for such payments as an Administrative Expense in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 8.2 Right of Setoff. Each Lender hereby waives any right of setoff that the Lender may have against the Borrower in respect of any Obligation arising hereunder or under the Lender Notes.

Section 8.3 Notices. (a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or electronic mail (if an e-mail address for the relevant party is set forth in the Indenture)) and mailed or delivered, if to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Rating Agency, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and/or any Lender, at its address specified in the Indenture (or, in the case of any Lender, in Schedule 2 hereof), in the case of any Lender becoming party hereto after the First Refinancing Date, the related Assignment Agreement; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given or made as of: the date so delivered, if delivered personally or by overnight courier; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; if sent by electronic mail (if an e-mail address for the relevant party is set forth in the Indenture or herein, as applicable), when received in the electronic mail account thereof and three (3) calendar days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (except that a notice of change of address shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee).

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent may, prior to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Collateral Trustee and/or the Loan Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower and/or the Collateral Manager (including an Officer thereof). In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Collateral Trustee’s and/or the Loan Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that any provision in this Agreement calls for any notice or document to be delivered simultaneously to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent and any other person or entity, the Collateral Trustee’s, and the Loan Agent’s receipt of such notice or document shall entitle the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent to assume that such notice was delivered to such other person or entity unless otherwise expressly specified herein or unless the Collateral Trustee or Loan Agent is responsible for sending such notice or document pursuant to the Indenture or hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in any agreement or document related hereto, any documents (including reports, notices or supplemental indentures) required to be provided by the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Trustee to the Lenders may be provided by providing notice of, and access to, the Collateral Trustee’s website containing such document.

(e) The Bank (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided that, any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing authorized Officers designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a Person is added or deleted from the listing. If such Person elects to give the Bank email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Bank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction and shall not be liable for any Person’s use of electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank.

Section 8.4 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto to the extent permitted under this Section 8.4; provided that, (i) except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and (ii) except as provided in Section 8.4(b), no Lender may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions; provided that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; and provided, further that, no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights

to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Lender Note in which such participant is participating or waive any Mandatory Prepayment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Lender Note over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or a Mandatory Prepayment, shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Lender Note), (y) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement); and provided, further that, each participation shall be subject to the related participant providing a representation and warranty to the Lender from which it is acquiring its participation that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer and making representations substantially in the form set forth under Section 8.18(a)(i), Section 8.18(a)(ii), Section 8.18(a)(iv), Section 8.18(a)(v) and Section 8.18(a)(vi).

(b) Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, such Lender’s Loans, Lender Note and other Loans) to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions (including one or more Lenders) that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser and can make all of the other representations set forth in Section 8.18. No assignment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to an institution other than an Affiliate of such Lender or another Lender shall be in an aggregate amount less than (unless the entire outstanding Loan of the assigning Lender is so assigned) $250,000. No consent of the Borrower or the Loan Agent shall be required for any assignment by a Lender to another Lender. If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder or under the Lender Notes, any reference in this Agreement or the Lender Notes to such assigning Lender shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender.

(c) Each assignment pursuant to Section 8.4(b) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an Assignment Agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), which Assignment Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B (appropriately completed); provided that, in each case, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the assignee to the Loan Agent and the Borrower that such assignee is an Approved Lender. In the event of (and at the time of) any such assignment, either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender shall pay to the Loan Agent a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500, and at the time of any assignment pursuant to subclause (b) of this Section 8.4, (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Lender Note (or the Confirmation of Registration in lieu thereof) of the respective assignee (which shall result in a direct reduction to the Lender Note of the assigning Lender) and of the other Lenders, and (ii) the Borrower shall issue new Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) to the respective assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 8.16. No transfer or assignment under subclause (b) of this Section 8.4 shall be effective until recorded by the Loan Agent on the Loan Register pursuant

to Section 8.16. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to subclause (b) of this Section 8.4, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Lender Note (or Confirmation of Registration). Each Lender and the Borrower agree to execute such documents (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Lender Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

Section 8.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 8.6 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Loan Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Loans hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has expressly waived its right to receive its pro rata share thereof) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Loans with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Commitment then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Commitment then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for Cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Loans to such other Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such disproportionate sum received; provided that, if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 8.7 Calculations; Computations. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

Section 8.8 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY THE LOANS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement or any matter between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably: (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes any of the parties from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY LENDER BECOMING A PARTY HERETO (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SECURED DEBT) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party hereby (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other would not, in the event of a Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this paragraph.

(d) Each Party (other than the Borrower) to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3.

Section 8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts) (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page of this Agreement by e-mail (.pdf) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any signature (including, without limitation, any facsimile or electronic transmission, including .pdf file, .jpeg file or electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, including Orbit, Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or any other similar platform identified by the Borrower and reasonably available at no undue burden or expense to the Collateral Trustee (including any symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record)) hereto or to any other certificate, agreement or document related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any contract formation or record-keeping, in each case, through electronic means, including, without limitation, through e-mail or portable document

format, shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, supplement, restatement, extension or renewal of this Agreement. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that (i) it has the corporate or other applicable entity capacity and authority to execute this Agreement (and any other documents to be delivered in connection therewith) through electronic means, (ii) any electronic signatures of such party appearing on this Agreement (or such other documents) shall be treated in the same way as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility of this Agreement (or any such other document) and (iii) the execution of this Agreement (or any such other document) by such party through such electronic means is not restricted by, and does not contravene, such party’s constitutive documents or applicable law. Any document electronically signed in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions shall be valid so long as it is delivered by an Authorized Officer of the executing Person or by any person reasonably understood to be acting on behalf of such Person. The Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to inquire into or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto.

Section 8.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the First Refinancing Date upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1.

Section 8.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.12 Amendment or Waiver. (a) Except as set forth in clause (c) below, this Agreement may not be amended or waived other than in accordance with Article VIII of the Indenture, which is hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis.

(b) Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under Article VIII of the Indenture, any provisions of this Agreement that are incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental Indenture shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes; and every Lender theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

(c) (i) Other than any amendment or modification that could be effected under Article VIII of the Indenture without the consent of the Lenders, terms of this Agreement that are not related to provisions of the Indenture and that are terms uniquely affecting the Lenders may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrower, the Agents and a Majority of the Lenders and is consented to by the Collateral Manager; provided that, no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (with Loans being directly affected thereby in the case of the following clause (A)), (A) extend any time fixed for the payment of any principal of the Loans, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof or change any Lender’s Commitment, (B) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly

provided in the Credit Documents), (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.6 or subclause (a) of this Section 8.12, (D) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority (it being understood that, with the consent of a Majority of the Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of a Majority of the Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Commitments are included on the First Refinancing Date), (E) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as permitted by Section 5.10), (D) waive any mandatory prepayment of Loans required pursuant to Section 3.3.1 or (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.20; provided, further that, no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications (otherwise permitted hereunder) of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender) or without the consent of the Agents amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VII or Section 3.6 as the same applies to the Agents. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and all future holders of the Loans and the Lender Notes (or a Holder taking such interest in the form of a Confirmation of Registration).

(ii) No change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement shall affect in any manner, amend, waive or modify the terms of the Indenture;

(iii) In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, to the extent so provided herein; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) Prior to the effectiveness of any amendment to this Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, S&P shall be given written notice thereof.

Section 8.15 Confidentiality. Each Lender shall be required to comply with the provisions of the Indenture, including Section 14.15 of the Indenture, with respect to Confidential Information and the provisions of Section 14.15 of the Indenture are incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis; provided that, in no event shall any Lender or any Affiliate thereof be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower.

Section 8.16 Loan Register. (a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Loan Agent will serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 8.16, to maintain a register (the “Loan Register”) on which it shall record the names and addresses of each Lender, the Loans (and transfers thereof) made by each such persons and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made by such Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Loan Register maintained by the Loan Agent with respect to ownership of such Loan as provided in this Section 8.16 and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loan shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loan shall be recorded by the Loan Agent on the Loan Register only upon the acceptance by the Loan Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(b). Each Lender shall promptly provide the Loan Agent any information reasonably requested by it for purposes of maintaining the Loan Register. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to the Loan Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender its Lender Notes and thereupon one or more new Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) in the same aggregate principal amount shall, if requested by the assigning or transferor Lender and/or new Lender, be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender, as applicable.

(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 8.17 Marshalling; Recapture. None of the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Loans. To the extent any Lender receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under the Bankruptcy Code, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 8.18 Lender Representations, etc.; Non Recourse Obligations. (a) By executing this Agreement, whether on the date hereof or pursuant to an assignment permitted hereunder, each Lender represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(i) In connection with the Loans: (A) none of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Loan Agent, the Placement Agent or any of their respective Affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for such Lender; (B) such Lender is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Placement Agent or any of their respective Affiliates other than any statements herein and in the final Offering Circular, and such Lender has read and understands this Agreement and the final Offering Circular (including the descriptions therein of the structure of the transaction in which the Loans are being offered and the risks to the Lenders); (C) such Lender has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary and has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Placement Agent or any of their respective Affiliates; (D) such Lender is both (x) a Qualified Institutional Buyer that is not a broker-dealer which owns and invests on a discretionary basis less than $25 million in securities of issuers that are not affiliated persons of the dealer and is not a plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(d) or (a)(1)(e) of Rule 144A or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(f) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, if investment decisions with respect to the plan are made by beneficiaries of the plan and (y) a Qualified Purchaser; (E) such Lender was not formed for the purpose of acquiring such Loans and is acquiring its interest in such Loans for its own account; (F) such Lender will hold and transfer the minimum required amount of the Loans; (G) such Lender is a sophisticated investor and is making the Loans with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof, and it is capable of assuming and willing to assume those risks; (H) such Lender has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Borrower

and the Loans as it has deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed decision with respect to making the Loans, including an opportunity to ask questions of and request information from the Borrower and the Collateral Manager and (I) such Lender will provide notice of the relevant transfer restrictions to subsequent transferees.

Any purported transfer of a Loan, or any interest therein to a purchaser or transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in the applicable documents will be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio;

(iii) if such Lender is, or is acting on behalf of, a Benefit Plan investor (A) none of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Placement Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Administrator or any of their respective affiliates, has provided or will provide any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA to the Benefit Plan Investor, or to any fiduciary or other person investing the assets of the Benefit Plan Investor (“Plan Fiduciary”), in connection with its acquisition of the Loans and (B) the Plan Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Loans;

(v) the Lender agrees that if it no longer qualifies as a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Qualified Purchaser, it shall notify the Borrower thereof immediately in writing and, from such time, no further Loans shall be made to the Borrower by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement;

(vi) Each Lender (and each beneficial owner of a Loan) will be deemed to have represented and agreed to treat the Loan as indebtedness for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, except as otherwise required by law;

(vii) Each Lender (and each beneficial owner of a Loan) understands that the failure to provide the Borrower, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee (and any of their agents) with the properly completed and signed tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is a United States Tax Person or the appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is not a United States Tax Person) may result in withholding from payments in respect of the Loan, including U.S. federal withholding or back-up withholding;

Each such Lender agrees, or by acquiring the Loan or an interest in the Loan will be deemed to agree, that the Borrower may provide such information and any other information regarding its investment in the Loan to the IRS or other relevant Governmental Authority;

(ix) Each Lender (and each beneficial owner of a Loan) that is not a United States Tax Person will make, or by acquiring a Loan or an interest in a Loan will be deemed to make, a representation to the effect that (i) it (a) is not a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (b) is not a “10 percent shareholder” with respect to the Borrower (or, for so long as the Preferred Shares are held by a single beneficial owner, such beneficial owner of the Preferred Shares) within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; and (c) is not a “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to any beneficial owners of the Preferred Shares within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; or (ii) it is a person that is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States; or (iii) it has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it on the Loan or any interest therein are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and includible in its gross income; and

The indemnification will continue with respect to any period during which the Lender held a Loan (and any interest therein), notwithstanding the Lender ceasing to be a Lender.

Each Lender understands that the Borrower, the Placement Agent, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance. Each Lender understands that by entering into the transactions contemplated hereby it is making a loan under a commercial credit facility and that by making the foregoing representation, no Lender is characterizing the transactions contemplated herein as the making of an investment in “securities” as defined in the Securities Act.

(b) The Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each Lender covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Borrower under the Loans and this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, payable solely from the Assets in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, and, following repayment and realization of the Assets, any claims of the Loan Agent or the Lenders and obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive, in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Indenture. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Loans against any member, shareholder, owner, employee, officer, director, manager, authorized person, advisor, agent or incorporator or organizer of the Borrower or Collateral Manager or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Loans, this Agreement or the Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.18(b) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Loans until the Assets has been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

(b) This Section 8.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.21 Acknowledgment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that none of the parties hereto has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the relationship between the Collateral Trustee, the Lenders and the Loan Agent on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.
