All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement.

The Fund has requested that the Lender agree, and the Lender has agreed in its sole discretion, to increase the Amount of Maximum Credit from $95,999,750 to $111,128,875, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The parties hereto agree that immediately prior to giving effect to this letter agreement the Amount of Maximum Credit under the Loan Agreement is $95,999,750.

As of the date hereof and until otherwise agreed to in writing by the Lender, the paragraph titled “Amount of Maximum Credit” set forth on the first page of the Loan Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Amount of Maximum Credit: $111,128,875; provided, however, that the Lender may, if requested by the Fund, elect in its sole and absolute discretion to increase the Amount of Maximum Credit to up to $250,000,000.00, it being understood that the Lender has no obligation to increase the Amount of Maximum Credit at any time.

The Fund hereby acknowledges, reaffirms and confirms that (i) its obligations under the Security Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2022, between the Fund and the Lender, as secured party (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), shall continue in full force and effect; and (ii) that the liens and security interests granted to the Lender in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) under the Security Agreement hereby continue to and shall secure all Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement).

Except for the amendments set forth herein, the Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its current terms. This letter agreement is a Loan Document.
