Section 2.2. The Advances. During the Availability Period, (A) each Conduit Lender may, in its sole discretion, and (B) each Committed Lender shall, if any Conduit Lender in its related Lender Group elects, in its sole discretion, not to make such loan or if there is no Conduit Lender in such Lender Group, in each case, make a loan (each such loan, an “Advance”) to the Borrower in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to its Lender Group Percentage of the aggregate Advances requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4, which Advances will be funded by the applicable Lenders directly to the Borrower’s Account in accordance with Section 2.4(C); provided that (i) the Advances made by any Lender Group shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders comprising such Lender Group at such time and (ii) the aggregate Advances made by the Lender Groups shall not exceed the Borrowing Base at such time.

Section 2.3. Use of Proceeds. After its acquisition of a Home Improvement Loan and the related Home Improvement Assets, the Seller shall transfer each acquired Home Improvement Loan and the related Home Improvement Assets to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement.

Improvement Assets from the Seller under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, (B) make deposits into the Liquidity Reserve Account (up to the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance) and (C) pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with establishment of the credit facility set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.4. Making the Advances.

(A) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may request the Lenders to make Advances to the Borrower by the delivery to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date of a written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) together with a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and, for the avoidance of doubt, including the following as Exhibit III thereto: an updated Advance Rate Calculator, which shall be updated to incorporate (i) the assumptions and model elements as reflected in the Advance Rate Calculator provided in conjunction with the most recently provided Monthly Servicer Report and (ii) a loan data tape reflecting the Pro Forma Home Improvement Loan Balance and the related characteristics of the Home Improvement Loans included therein and related on set forth on such loan data tape. Any Notice of Borrowing or Borrowing Base Certificate received by the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents after the time specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents on the next Business Day, and to the extent that results in the proposed Borrowing Date being earlier than two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing, then the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing as the proposed Borrowing Date of an Advance shall be deemed to be the Business Day immediately succeeding the proposed Borrowing Date of such Advance specified in such Notice of Borrowing. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in a Notice of Borrowing shall be no earlier than two Business Days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing and may be up to a maximum of thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing. Unless otherwise provided herein, each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advance requested and (ii) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day). If the Administrative Agent contests the Borrower’s calculations or any statement within a Notice of Borrowing, it shall promptly inform the Borrower in writing (including by electronic mail) and no Lender shall be obligated to make an Advance in accordance with such Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower may then deliver an amended Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent or, by written notice, rescind the Notice of Borrowing; provided that if the Borrower elects to deliver an amended Notice of Borrowing, such amended Notice of Borrowing shall reflect a proposed Borrowing Date no earlier than two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery of such amended Notice of Borrowing.

(B) The aggregate principal amount of each Advance by the Borrower shall not be less than $[***].

-4-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

(C) The Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate amount of Advances requested together with the allocated amount of Advances to be paid by each Lender Group based on its respective Lender Group Percentage. Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.4(A), each Funding Agent shall advise each Lender within its Lender Group of the details thereof and the respective Lender’s Advance; provided that each Funding Agent may, in its sole discretion, allocate any requested Advances among the Lenders in its Lender Group. Each Conduit Lender may, in its sole discretion, and the Committed Lender or the Committed Lenders shall, if the Conduit Lender in its or their related Lender Group elects, in its sole discretion, not to do so or if there is no Conduit Lender in its related Lender Group, initiate the wire for the applicable Advances in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to its Lender Group Percentage of the amounts requested by the Borrower pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower’s Account by no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date specified or deemed specified in such Notice of Borrowing. In connection with the funding of each Advance, the Borrower (or the Administrative Agent, on the Borrower’s behalf, out of the proceeds of the initial Advance) shall cause to be deposited into the Liquidity Reserve Account an amount such that the amount on deposit therein is equal to the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance.

(D) With respect to the Advance to be made on the Closing Date, if any, each Lender shall make the amount of its Advance available to the Paying Agent by wire transfer of such funds to the account specified in the Closing Date Flow of Funds Memorandum no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Closing Date. The Paying Agent shall receive and hold such Advance in escrow for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon a determination by the Administrative Agent that all conditions precedent to such Advance to be made on the Closing Date set forth in Article III have been satisfied or otherwise waived, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Paying Agent in writing (which may be via email) that the Paying Agent may distribute such Advance to be made on the Closing Date in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Closing Date Flow of Funds Memorandum. The Administrative Agent may at any time prior to such distribution instruct the Paying Agent to return such Advance to be made on the Closing Date to the Lenders in its sole discretion.

(E) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, with respect to the Advance to be made on the Closing Date, if any, the Paying Agent is obligated only to perform the duties specifically set forth in Section 2.4(D) or otherwise in the Closing Date Flow of Funds Memorandum, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature. Under no circumstance will the Paying Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to any Person with respect to the Advance to be made on the Closing Date or the Paying Agent’s duties under Section 2.4(D) or the Closing Date Flow of Funds Memorandum. With respect to such Advance to be made on the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than Section 2.4(D) and the Closing Date Flow of Funds Memorandum, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has been provided to the Paying Agent; and the Paying Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any

-5-

provision of any such agreement, instrument, or document. With respect to such Advance to be made on the Closing Date, the Paying Agent will not be responsible to determine or to make inquiry into any term, capitalized, or otherwise, not defined herein. Section 2.4(D) and the Closing Date Flow of Funds Memorandum set forth all matters pertinent to the escrow of such Advance to be made on the Closing Date contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Paying Agent with respect thereto shall be inferred or implied from the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement.

(F) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall, nor shall any Conduit Lender be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its Commercial Paper notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could issue Commercial Paper notes to refinance all of its outstanding Commercial Paper notes (assuming such outstanding Commercial Paper notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.5. Fees.

(A) Unused Line Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Funding Agent, for the benefit of the Committed Lender in its Lender Group and as consideration for the Commitment of such Committed Lender in such Lender Group unused line fees in Dollars (the “Unused Line Fee”) for the period from the Closing Date to the last day of the Availability Period, computed as (a) the Unused Line Fee Percentage for the applicable Unused Line Fee Period, multiplied by (b) the average Unused Portion of the Commitments with respect to such Lender Group during such Unused Line Fee Period; provided, that for the purposes of this provision, the Commitment of any Committed Lender shall be deemed to be zero if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. Accrued Unused Line Fees shall be due and payable in arrears (from available Collections as set forth and in the order of priority established pursuant to Section 2.7) on each Payment Date for the Interest Accrual Period ended immediately prior to the Payment Date and on the last day of the Availability Period.

(B) Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Upfront Fee to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date.

(C) Servicer Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Servicer Fee to the initial Servicer and after the resignation or replacement of the initial Servicer, the Borrower shall pay the Servicer Fee to a Successor Servicer, which may be the Back-Up Servicer, appointed in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

(D) Back-Up Servicing. The Borrower shall pay the Back-Up Servicing Fee to the Back-Up Servicer unless the Back-Up Servicer is acting as the Successor Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.

(E) Custodial Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Custodian the Custodial Fee.

(F) Paying Agent Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Paying Agent the Paying Agent Fee.

The fees set forth in Section 2.5(A), (C), (D), (E) and (F) shall be payable on each Payment Date by the Borrower from Distributable Collections as set forth in and in the order of priority established pursuant to Section 2.7(B). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Transaction Document, the fees referred to in Section 2.5(C), (D), (E) and (F) shall not constitute “Confidential Information”.

Section 2.6. Reduction/Increase of the Commitments.

(A) The Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent and each of the Funding Agents not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed action (which notice may be conditioned upon any event), terminate in whole or reduce in part, on a pro rata basis based on its Lender Group Percentage, the Unused Portion of the Commitments with respect to each Lender Group (and on a pro rata basis with respect to each Committed Lender in such Lender Group); provided, that (i) any partial reduction shall be in the amount of $[***] or an integral multiple thereof and (ii) any Unused Portion of the Commitments so reduced may not be increased again without the written consent of the related Committed Lenders in such Lender Group.

(B) The Borrower may, on any Business Day upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Funding Agent, request an increase of the Commitments of the Committed Lender(s) in one or more Lender Groups; provided, that any increase shall be at least equal to $[***] or an integral multiple thereof but shall in no event cause the Commitments of the Committed Lender(s) in any Lender Group to exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders comprising such Lender Group. Each Committed Lender subject to such request shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request, notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing (with copies to the other members of the applicable Lender Group) whether or not each Committed Lender has, in its sole discretion, agreed to increase its Commitment. If a Committed Lender does not send any notification to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower within such five (5) Business Day period, such Committed Lender shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

Section 2.7. Repayment of the Advances.

Any payment direction to be acted upon by the Paying Agent pursuant to either such Section on a payment date other than a Payment Date shall be delivered to the Paying Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is to be made.

Section 2.8. Certain Prepayments.

(A) The Borrower (through the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(B) and as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) may at any time upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Paying Agent, and subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.7(B), prepay all or any portion of the balance of the principal amount of the Advances based on the outstanding principal amounts thereof, which notice shall be given at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such prepayment (which notice may be conditioned upon any event).

Section 2.9. Mandatory Prepayments of Advances. On any date that the Borrower either (a) obtains knowledge or (b) receives notice from the Administrative Agent (with calculations set forth in reasonable detail), that as of any date that the Borrowing Base is required to be calculated, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances exceeds the lesser of (i) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base (the occurrence of an excess of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances over the lesser of the amount set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to herein as a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), the Borrower shall pay to each Funding Agent for the account of its Lender Group the amount of any such excess (to be applied to the reduction of Advances ratably among all Lender Groups based on their Lender Group Advance Percentages), together with accrued but unpaid interest on the amount required to be so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any Liquidation Fee in connection with such prepayment if such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in lieu of repaying Advances to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Seller may instead voluntarily assign additional Eligible Home Improvement Loans and the related Home Improvement Assets to the Borrower under the Sale and Contribution Agreement in an amount sufficient to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency so long as (x) the Borrower provides written notice to Administrative Agent that Seller intends to make such contribution together with a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate giving effect to such contribution, (y) the Seller delivers the related Custodian File to the Custodian for certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received the related A-1 Custodial Certification in respect of such Eligible Home Improvement Loans and the related Home Improvement Assets from the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement.

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

(A) Breakage Costs and Liquidation Fees. (i) If any Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower agrees to pay Breakage Costs, if any, and (ii) the Borrower further agrees to pay all Liquidation Fees associated with (x) a reduction of the principal balance of any Advance at any time, (y) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (z) the conversion of any SOFR Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default). The Borrower shall not be responsible for any Liquidation Fees or any other loss, cost, or expenses arising at the time of, and arising solely as a result of, any assignment made pursuant to Section 10.8 and the reallocation of any portion of the Advances of the applicable Lender making such assignment unless, in each case, such assignment is requested by the Borrower.

(B) Increased Costs. If any Change in Law (a) shall subject any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof (each of which, an “Affected Party”) to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party, or (c) shall impose any other condition affecting the Collateral or the rights of any Lender and the Administrative Agent hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party under this Agreement or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party, such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered to the extent such additional or increased costs or reduction are incurred or suffered in connection with the Collateral, any obligation to make Advances hereunder, any of the rights of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, or any payment made hereunder in accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional or increased cost or such reduction that is incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional or increased cost or such reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

(C) Capital Adequacy. If any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional amount or amounts that are incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional amount or amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(D) Calculation; Certificates. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.11, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.11 shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.12. Payments and Computations.

(A) The Borrower (through the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(B) or 2.7(C) and as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) shall make each payment and prepayment hereunder in respect of principal, interest, expenses, indemnities, fees or other Obligations due from the Borrower not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the related Funding Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.3 or to such account provided by such Funding Agent in immediately available, same-day funds. Payments on Obligations may also be made by the application of funds in the Collection Account or the Takeout Transaction Account as provided in Section 2.7(B) or 2.7(C), as applicable, or the making of additional Advances as provided in Section 2.4. All computations of interest for Advances made under the Base Rate shall be made by the applicable Funding Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by a Funding Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Funding Agent shall provide the Borrower with an invoice setting forth the amount of interest accrued through the last day of the most recently ended Interest Accrual Period and that is due and payable on the next Payment Date no later than three (3) Business Days before such Payment Date, provided that the failure of the Funding Agent to deliver such invoice shall not relieve the Borrower of the obligation to pay such accrued and unpaid interest on such Payment Date.

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

(B) All payments to be made in respect of fees, if any, due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder shall be made on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature (other than with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 2.15), and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Administrative Agent’s Account, to make any payment under this clause (B) when due, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent all amounts due that remain unpaid.

(C) [Reserved].

(D) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or the Paying Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.13. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Advances shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

Section 2.14. Extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. No earlier than ninety (90) days, and no later than sixty (60) days, prior to the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may deliver written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent (with a copy to the Paying Agent) requesting an extension of such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall respond to such request no later than thirty (30) days following the date of its receipt of such request, indicating whether it is considering such request and preliminary conditions precedent to any extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date as the Administrative Agent determines to include in such response. The Administrative Agent’s failure to respond to a request delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not be deemed to constitute any agreement by the Administrative Agent to any such extension. The granting of any extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date requested by the Borrower shall be in the mutual discretion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of all Lender Groups).

Section 2.15. Taxes.

(A) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15 the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

(C) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of a Funding Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(D) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to each Funding Agent), or by a Funding Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(E) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Committed Lender shall severally indemnify each Funding Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Committed Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Funding Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Committed Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by a Funding 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 to any Committed Lender by its Funding Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Committed Lender hereby authorizes its Funding Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Committed Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by such Funding Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Funding Agent under this paragraph (E).

(F) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to each Funding Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Funding Agent.

(G) Status of Recipients.

(i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the related Funding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(a) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent on or about the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(b) any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent) on or about the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(c) any Recipient which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

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

(e) on or before the date each of the Administrative Agent, a Paying Agent and the Funding Agent becomes the Administrative Agent, a Paying Agent or the Funding Agent hereunder, such Administrative Agent, Paying Agent and Funding Agent shall (1) deliver to the Borrower an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax or (2) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms) (with respect to amounts received on its own account), with the effect that, in any case, the Borrower will be entitled to make payments hereunder to such Administrative Agent, Paying Agent or Funding Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax. Each Administrative Agent, Paying Agent and Funding Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes expired or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification.

-20-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(H) Forms for Paying Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent shall deliver to the Paying Agent on or before the first Payment Date, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, certifying that the Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(I) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (I) (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 (I), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (I) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. 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.

(J) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of a Funding Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section 2.16. Increase to Aggregate Commitments.

(A) Borrower shall have the right during the Availability Period to send a written notice to Administrative Agent requesting that the Aggregate Commitments be increased by adding to this Agreement one or more other committed lenders or Lender Groups with a committed lender (which may include any existing Committed Lender with the consent of such Committed Lender) (each such lender an “Additional Lender”); provided, that each such Additional Lender (and the other members of its Lender Group, if applicable) shall

-21-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

have entered into a Joinder Agreement or other similar agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower pursuant to which such Additional Lender shall (1) undertake a Commitment (and if any such Additional Lender is an existing Committed Lender, its Commitment increase shall be added to its existing Commitment hereunder), (2) identify the other members of its Lender Group, and (3) provide the other information specified in the form of Joinder Agreement or such other similar agreement and as is requested by Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.16(C), such Additional Lender shall thereupon become a “Committed Lender” and the members of its Lender Group (if applicable) shall become party hereto for all purposes of this Agreement upon the effectiveness of such Joinder Agreement or such other similar agreement (the date of the effectiveness of any such agreement being hereinafter referred to as the “Increased Commitment Date”).

(B) On the Increased Commitment Date, each Additional Lender (or its Lender Group if applicable) shall by assignments from the other Lender Groups (which assignments shall be deemed to occur hereunder automatically, and without any requirement for additional documentation, on the Increased Commitment Date) acquire a portion of the Advances of the other Committed Lenders or Lender Groups (and the Lender Groups shall, through the Administrative Agent, make such other adjustments among themselves as shall be necessary) so that after giving effect to such assignments and adjustments each Committed Lender (or its Lender Group, as applicable) shall hold outstanding Advances hereunder ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be effective only if:

(i) the Availability Period shall not have expired;

(ii) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of the notice referred to in the foregoing subsection (A) or as of the Increased Commitment Date;

(iii) no Borrowing Base Deficiency, Potential Default, Event of Default, Potential Amortization Event, or Amortization Event shall result after giving effect to such increase;

(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have approved all Additional Lenders referred by Xxxxxxxx; and

(v) such increase shall not result in any reduction in the aggregate Commitment of the Citi Committed Lender unless the Citi Committed Lender shall have otherwise agreed.

(D) Adjustments for Syndication. If the Administrative Agent reasonably determines in connection with any request made by Borrower under Section 2.16(A) that (a) bring-down legal opinions, reliance letters, closing certificates or other due diligence is necessary in order to complete same and/or (b) increases in the Unused Line Fees, upfront fees/commitments fees, reductions in the Advance Rate or Borrowing Base, or other changes in the pricing, amount, terms, allocation or structure of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are necessary in order to secure the requested increase in Aggregate Commitments by such Additional Lender, Xxxxxxxx agrees to negotiate in good faith regarding such changes or deliverables but shall not be required to accept any such changes or provide any such deliverables.

Section 2.17. Replacement of Lenders; Defaulting Lenders.

(A) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.11(B) or (C), or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.8), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to a Person that meets the requirements of Section 10.8 that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender hereunder, if such Xxxxxx accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) such Lender shall have received, as applicable, payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, the Fee Letter of such Lender, and under the other Transaction Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.11(A)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); provided that, if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, in no event shall any fees or other amounts contemplated under any Fee Letter or other fee letter of such Lender be due or payable;

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11(B) or (C) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

(iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

-23-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.17(A) may be effected pursuant to an assignment executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to, and be bound by, the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 7.11.

(B) Defaulting Lenders.

(i) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Unused Line Fee. The Unused Line Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5; and

(b) Waivers and Amendments. The Advances and Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.2); provided, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such

-24-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender shall, to the extent applicable, purchase at par the portion of the Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

-25-

(iii) Termination of Defaulting Lender. If a Defaulting Lender has not cured its status as a “Defaulting Lender” within ten (10) Business Days from becoming such, the Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.17(B)(i)(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.18. Inability to Determine Rates; Illegality.

(A) Subject to Section 2.19, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period for any SOFR Advance:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(ii) the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Accrual Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Advance, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Accrual Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (A)(ii), at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Accrual Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11(A). Subject to Section 2.19, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Advances shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

-26-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

(B) If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Committed Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Committed Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Committed Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Committed Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Committed Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Advances to Base Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period therefor, if all affected Committed Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if any Committed Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advances to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11(A).

Section 2.19. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(A) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and the definition of “Adjusted Term SOFR” shall be deemed modified to delete the addition of the Term SOFR Adjustment to Term SOFR for any calculation and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time)

-27-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. No Hedge Agreement shall constitute a “Transaction Document” for purposes of this Section 2.19.

(B) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrower) to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(C) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of the Specified Tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.19(D) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.19, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.19.

(D) Unavailability of Specified Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) the Specified Tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that the Specified Tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove the Specified Tenor and (ii) if the Specified Tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a

-28-

Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed Specified Tenor.

(E) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing or continuation of Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted to Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate at the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(F) Paying Agent and Back-up Servicer. The Paying Agent and the Back-up Servicer (including as Successor Servicer):

(i) shall not be under any obligation (A) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate or any other applicable Benchmark, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) to select, determine or designate any alternative reference rate or Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (C) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (D) to determine whether or what Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing;

(ii) shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of the Term SOFR Reference Rate or any other applicable Benchmark and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark therefor, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Administrative Agent or any other Person responsible for the Term SOFR Reference Rate or any other applicable Benchmark, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties; and

-29-

[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.

(iii) shall not be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Administrative Agent or any other Person responsible for the Term SOFR Reference Rate or any other applicable Benchmark, or any failure or delay in the performance of such Person’s duties or obligations, nor shall it be under any obligation to oversee or monitor such Person’s performance.

Subject to Section 1.05, the Administrative Agent shall (i) monitor the status of SOFR or any other applicable benchmark or other index which may be applicable to the Advances, (ii) determine whether a substitute index should or could be selected, (iii) determine the selection of any such substitute index, and (iv) exercise any right related to the foregoing.

Section 2.20. Tranching of Advances. At the direction of Administrative Agent or any Lender upon reasonable prior written notice, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, for the purpose of tranching or adjusting the tranching on any Advances, provided that all reasonable costs and expenses of the Borrower (including costs of counsel and advisors) incurred in connection with such amendment shall be borne by the requesting Lender(s), and provided further that (i) the Borrower shall not be required to enter into such amendment if it could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the payments, economics or obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and (ii) any Lender shall have the right to object to such tranching if it could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Xxxxxx’s financial return on its Advances. Upon the exercise of such option to tranche or adjust tranching, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any intended assignee(s) (if any) of any Lender, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to effect the exercise of such option, including the issuance of an additional class of Advances that bear interest at a rate separate and apart from the then current interest rate, or Advance Rates separate and apart from the then current Advance Rates, or a new class of Advances having terms as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including through the issuance of replacement Loan Notes having terms (including changes to advance rates or margin) as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.21. Maintenance of Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender. Each Funding Agent shall maintain a Register in accordance with Section 10.8(C). The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein. Any failure of any Lender, any Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or make any entry therein or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 2.22. Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11(B) or Section 2.11(C), or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to, as applicable, designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11(B), Section 2.11(C) or Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur.

No Lien or similar adverse claim has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax due from the Borrower or with respect to its Home Improvement Assets or the assignments thereto, except with respect to Taxes which are being contested in good faith by appropriate actions diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. Any Taxes due and payable by the Borrower or its predecessors in interest in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transfers and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby have been paid or shall have been paid if and when due. The Borrower is not liable for Taxes payable by any other Person.

(N) Covered Fund. The Borrower is not a “covered fund” under Section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Each Home Improvement Loan owned by the Borrower is an “eligible asset” as defined in Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act, and each Advance is an “eligible asset” as defined in Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act.

(O) Properties; Security Interest. The Borrower has good title to all of its properties and assets necessary in the ordinary course of its business, free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. Once executed and delivered, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement create, as security for the Obligations of the Borrower or Secured Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), as applicable, a valid and enforceable and (coupled with this Agreement, the Lockbox Agreement and the taking of all actions required thereunder and under the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and pursuant to Section 5.1(X) for perfection) perfected security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, superior to and prior to the rights of all third persons and subject to no other Liens, except that the Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens.

(P) Subsidiaries. The Borrower does not have, and shall not have, any Subsidiaries, and does not and shall not otherwise own or hold, directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock of any other Person.

(Q) Valid Transfer. The Sale and Contribution Agreement creates a valid sale, transfer and/or assignment from the Seller to the Borrower of all right title and interest of the Seller in and to the Conveyed Property in each case conveyed to the Borrower thereunder.

(R) Purchases of Home Improvement Loans and Home Improvement Assets. The Borrower has given reasonably equivalent value to the Seller (which may include additional Capital Stock in the Borrower) in consideration for the transfer to the Borrower by the Seller of the Conveyed Property conveyed to the Borrower under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, and no such transfer has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Borrower.

(S) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; Sanctions; Anti-Money Laundering.

(i) Neither the Borrower, any Affiliated Entity nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower after due inquiry, any of their officers, directors, agents or employees, has used any of the proceeds of any Advance (a) for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, (b) to make any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any government official or employee from corporate funds, (c) to violate any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or similar law of a jurisdiction in which the Borrower conducts its business and to which they are lawfully subject, or (d) to make any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment.

None of the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement, or any activities, transactions, services, or any Collateral or security interest contemplated by this Agreement, would result in a violation of Sanctions by the Administrative Agent, the Citi Committed Lender, the Citi Conduit Lenders or any other party to this Agreement or their respective Affiliates.

(iv) The operations of the Borrower, the Seller, the Servicer and the Parent are in compliance, and will continue to be in compliance, with the applicable anti-money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions where the Borrower, the Seller, the Servicer, or any of their respective Subsidiaries conducts business, the rules and regulations thereunder, and any related or similar anti-money laundering rules, or regulations, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental or regulatory agency applicable to them (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”).

Section 7.22. Funding Agent Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and Advances made by it and the Loan Notes (if any) issued to it, in its capacity as a Lender, each Funding Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Transaction Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Funding Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders,” as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include such Funding Agent in its individual capacity.

(iii) If on any Payment Date (without giving effect to any withdrawal from the Liquidity Reserve Account) available funds on deposit in the Collection Account would be insufficient to make the payments due and payable on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 2.7(B)(i) through (iii), the Borrower shall direct the Paying Agent, based on the Monthly Servicer Report delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Servicing Agreement, to withdraw from the Liquidity Reserve Account an amount equal to the lesser of such insufficiency and the amount on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account and deposit such amount into the Collection Account and apply such amount to payments set forth in Sections 2.7(B)(i) through (iii);

(vi) Unless an Event of Default or Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, on any Payment Date, if, as set forth on the Monthly Servicer Report, amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account are greater than the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance (after giving effect to all other distributions and disbursements on such Payment Date), the Borrower shall direct the Paying Agent, based on the Monthly Servicer Report, to withdraw funds in excess of the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance from the Liquidity Reserve Account and disburse such amounts into the Borrower’s Account; and

(vii) On any Payment Date, if, as set forth on the Monthly Servicer Report, the amount of funds in the Liquidity Reserve Account and in the Collection Account is equal to or greater than the aggregate outstanding balance of Advances and all other amounts due and payable hereunder, then the Borrower shall direct the Paying Agent, based on the Monthly Servicer Report, to withdraw all funds from the Liquidity Reserve Account and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account to pay all such amounts and the aggregate outstanding balance of the Advances.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2(C) to the contrary, in lieu of or in substitution for moneys otherwise required to be deposited to the Liquidity Reserve Account, the Borrower may deliver or cause to be delivered to the Paying Agent a Letter of Credit; provided that any deposit into the Liquidity Reserve Account required to be made by the Borrower after the replacement of amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account with a Letter of Credit shall be made by the Borrower by way of cash deposits to the Liquidity Reserve Account as provided in Section 2.7(B) or pursuant to the Borrower’s causing an increase in the Letter of Credit or the delivery to the Paying Agent of an additional Letter of Credit.

If at any time a Letter of Credit is held by the Paying Agent as an asset of the Liquidity Reserve Account, and if any withdrawals from the Liquidity Reserve Account will be required under this Section 8.2(C) or otherwise, the Administrative Agent (or the Borrower with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) shall, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date or payment date, direct the Paying Agent in writing to draw on the Letter of Credit, which direction shall provide the required draw amount. The Administrative Agent (or the Borrower with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) shall direct the Paying Agent to submit the drawing documents to the applicable Eligible Letter of Credit Bank no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Paying Agent receives such direction. Upon the receipt of the proceeds of any such drawing, the Paying Agent shall deposit such proceeds into the Liquidity Reserve Account. Any (A) references in the Transaction

Documents to amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account or amounts in or credited to the Liquidity Reserve Account shall include or be deemed to include the aggregate available amount of the Letters of Credit delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2(C), and (B) Letter of Credit delivered by the Borrower to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2(C) shall be held as an asset of the Liquidity Reserve Account and valued for purposes of determining the amount on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account at the amount as of any date then available to be drawn on such Letter of Credit.

If at any time a Letter of Credit is held by the Paying Agent as an asset of the Liquidity Reserve Account, then: (i) if the Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire by its terms and ten (10) days prior to the scheduled expiration date such Letter of Credit has not been extended or replaced, then the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall on such tenth (10th) day prior to the scheduled expiration date notify the Paying Agent in writing of such failure to extend or replace the Letter of Credit, and the Paying Agent shall, submit the drawing documents delivered to it by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Eligible Letter of Credit Bank no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the scheduled expiration date and draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such drawing into the Liquidity Reserve Account, and (ii) if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent notifies the Paying Agent in writing that the financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank or a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent otherwise receives written notice that the financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank, then the Paying Agent shall, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after receipt of any such written notice by a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent submit the drawing documents delivered to it by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such drawing into the Liquidity Reserve Account.

If at any time a Letter of Credit is held by the Paying Agent as an asset of the Liquidity Reserve Account, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced from time to time, to the extent of any reduction in the dollar amount of the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance. Each month upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Monthly Servicer Report if such Monthly Servicer Report shows a reduction in the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance, then the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the related Payment Date, direct the Paying Agent in writing to send the Eligible Letter of Credit Bank a letter in the form provided in the Letter of Credit to reduce the stated amount of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall ensure that the letter submitted shall provide for the reduction to be effective as of the close of business on the related Payment Date. The reduction shall be in the amount shown on the Monthly Servicer Report as the Liquidity Reserve Account “reductions” and the remaining stated amount of the Letter of Credit shall be equal to the Liquidity Reserve Account Required Balance “ending required amount” as shown on the Monthly Servicer Report. Any drawing on the Letter of Credit may be reimbursed by the Borrower only from amounts remitted to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7(B).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Paying Agent be required to report, track, calculate or monitor the value, available amount or any other information regarding any Letter of Credit for any party hereto or beneficiary of or under the Liquidity Reserve Account, except as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.2(C).

(D) Lockbox Account. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited an amount equal to $[***] into the Lockbox Account (such amount, the “Required Lockbox Reserve Amount”).

(E) Paying Agent Account Control.

(i) Each Paying Agent Account shall be established and at all times maintained by the Paying Agent with the Securities Intermediary, which shall act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) hereunder with respect to each Paying Agent Account. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that, as of the Closing Date, the account numbers of each of the Paying Agent Accounts are as described on Schedule II attached hereto.

(ii) Each Paying Agent Account shall be a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC and shall be maintained by the Paying Agent at the Securities Intermediary in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Securities Intermediary shall treat the Administrative Agent as the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of all “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to the Paying Agent Accounts.

(iii) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:

(a) it shall not change the name or account number of any Paying Agent Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;

(b) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets (as hereinafter defined) credited to a Paying Agent Account shall be registered in the name of the Paying Agent, indorsed to the Paying Agent or indorsed in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Paying Agent, and in no case will any financial asset credited to a Paying Agent Account be registered in the name of the Borrower or any other Person, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially indorsed to the Borrower or any other Person, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or in blank;

(c) all property transferred or delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be credited to the appropriate Borrower Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(d) each Paying Agent Account is an account to which financial assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat each of the Borrower and the Servicer as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to each such Paying Agent Account, including the right to provide any Entitlement Order or “instruction” or make any withdrawals from any Paying Agent Account (x) pursuant to Section 2.7 and this Section 8.2 and (y) as otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent; and

(e) notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, to the extent that any Paying Agent Account shall be determined to constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC, such Paying Agent Account shall be subject to the exclusive control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Securities Intermediary will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing disposition of the funds in such Paying Agent Account, without further consent by the Borrower or the Servicer; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Securities Intermediary to honor withdrawal, payment, transfer or other instructions directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account received from the Borrower or the Servicer, on its behalf, pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 8.2 but subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.2.

(iv) The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (including, without limitation, any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any Paying Agent Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

(v) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an “entitlement order” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) (an “Entitlement Order”) from the Administrative Agent (i.e., an order directing a transfer or redemption of any financial asset in any Paying Agent Account), or any “instruction” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC), originated by the Administrative Agent, (i) the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order or instruction without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person and (ii) neither the Servicer nor the Borrower shall provide any Entitlement Order or “instruction” or make any further withdrawals from any Paying Agent Account, except (x) pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 8.2 or (y) as otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent.

(vi) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Paying Agent Account or any financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited thereto or any security entitlement with respect thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited to any Paying Agent Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except that the Paying Agent may set-off (i) all amounts due to the Paying Agent in its capacity as securities intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Paying Agent Accounts, and (ii) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to the Paying Agent Accounts but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(vii) Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the “security intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) with respect to any bank holding a Paying Agent Account.

(viii) The Securities Intermediary is an Eligible Institution acting as “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) hereunder with respect to each Paying Agent Account. If, at any time, the Securities Intermediary ceases to be an Eligible Institution, then the Servicer, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall within thirty (30) days (or such longer time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) establish a new Collection Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, or Takeout Transaction Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and transfer any cash and/or any investments held therein or with respect thereto to such new Collection Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, or Takeout Transaction Account, as applicable. From the date such new Collection Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, or Takeout Transaction Account is established, it shall be the “Collection Account,” “Liquidity Reserve Account”, or “Takeout Transaction Account” hereunder, as applicable

(F) Permitted Investments. Unless a Potential Default, Event of Default, Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer (and after an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent) may direct each banking institution at which the Collection Account or the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be established, in writing, to invest the funds held in such accounts in one

-82-

or more Permitted Investments. All interest derived from such Permitted Investments shall be deemed to be “investment proceeds” and shall be deposited into such account to be distributed in accordance with the requirements hereof. The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account and the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be that of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall report for federal, state and local income tax purposes the income, if any, earned on funds in such accounts. All such investments shall mature at least one (1) Business Day prior to each Payment Date and no Permitted Investment may be purchased at a premium or sold at a loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts in the Takeout Transaction Account will remain uninvested.

Section 8.3. Adjustments. If the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection or payment and deposits, pays or causes to be deposited or paid, an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount thereof, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amounts subsequently deposited into the applicable account or lockbox or paid out to reflect such mistake for the date of such adjustment (and shall give the Paying Agent applicable instructions in writing to the extent any such adjustments affect the Paying Agent Accounts). Any Eligible Home Improvement Loan in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, delivery of any notice or report required or permitted under this Agreement (with the exception of any notification of breach or default, whether matured or unmatured, including but not limited to a Potential Default, an Event of Default, a Potential Amortization Event, an Amortization Event, and a Servicer Termination Event, and any notice or report that by its terms requires two or more forms of notice), by or on behalf of the Borrower to any other transaction party (other than the Paying Agent or the Securities Intermediary) may be, or by or on behalf of any other transaction party (other than the Paying Agent or the Securities Intermediary) to the Borrower or any other transaction party may (but shall not be required to) be, transmitted by means of electronic mail in accordance with this Section 10.3 or the use of a communication portal, if available, that is mutually agreed on by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Portal Provider”), which shall be located at such internet address as shall be specified by the Portal Provider from time to time in writing to the Borrower and all other parties hereto or as otherwise mutually agreed on by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Communication Portal”). As a condition of providing access to the Communication Portal, the Portal Provider may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer and/or other agreement to the terms and conditions of use, including an agreement to comply with the Portal Provider’s instructions for use of the Communication Portal. No such notice or report made by means of the Communication Portal shall be deemed sufficient for any purpose unless uploaded in accordance with the terms and conditions of use and instructions for use of the Communication Portal provided by the Portal Provider from time to time (and shall not be effective with respect to notice to the Paying Agent or the Securities Intermediary).

Furthermore, neither the Administrative Agent nor (if different) the Portal Provider shall have any liability to the Borrower or any other party with respect to any information that is not delivered or transmitted to or available for download by any party, because of the failure of that information to be uploaded in accordance with the terms and conditions of the use of the Communication Portal, because that information is not in a form or format that will allow it to be uploaded to or further transmitted by the Communication Portal, or because that information is not actually received by the Communication Portal for any reason. Each of Borrower and any other transaction party that uploads any notice or report to the Communication Portal understands and acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for redacting any confidential information or personally identifiable information from any notice or report before uploading it to the Communication Portal and that, once so uploaded, any such notice or report may be transmitted to or downloaded by any other party as is, in the form received. For the avoidance of doubt, the Portal Provider shall not be responsible for redacting from any uploaded notice or report any confidential information prior to providing that information to any other party. The Portal Provider shall not be required to make available to any party any information that in its sole judgment is confidential, may include any personally identifiable information or could otherwise violate applicable law, or could result in liability to the Administrative Agent or (if different) the Portal Provider, or to any of their respective affiliates. Both the Administrative Agent and (if different) the Portal Provider shall be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible to any other party for the content or accuracy of any information provided by means of the Communication Portal.

Section 10.4. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and under the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges that any Person would otherwise have.

Section 10.5. Indemnification.

omission of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates and that is brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Intermediary, Back-Up Servicer, agent or any other similar role in connection with the Transaction Documents) or (B) any settlement entered into by such Indemnitee without the Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.5, the provisions of this Section shall be applied without prejudice to, and the provisions shall not have the effect of diminishing, the rights of the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary and Back-Up Servicer, and any U.S. Bank Indemnified Parties under Section 9.5 of this Agreement or any other provision of any Transaction Document providing for the indemnification of any such Persons.

Section 10.6. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recording, administration, modification, amendment and/or waiver of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including (a) the reasonable and documented or invoiced fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (b) the reasonable and documented or invoiced fees and documented out of pocket of expenses of accountants and other professional advisors engaged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (c) UCC search and filing fees and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith and (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Conduit Lenders in connection with the review by each rating agency then rating the Commercial Paper notes of such Conduit Lenders. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable and documented or invoiced counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses) (A) incurred by the Lenders in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (B) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent or the Paying Agent in connection with the transactions described herein and in the other Transaction Documents, or any potential Takeout Transaction, including in any case reasonable and documented or invoiced counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 10.6. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent or its counsel may at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, engage professional consultants selected by the Administrative Agent to conduct due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including (A) review and independently assess the existing methodology employed by the Borrower in allocating Collections with respect to the Home Improvement Loans, assess the reasonableness of the methodology for the equitable allocation of those Collections and make any recommendations to amend the

-97-

methodology, if appropriate, (B) review the financial forecasts submitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and assess the reasonableness and feasibility of those forecasts and make any recommendations based on that review, if appropriate, and (C) verify the asset base of the Borrower and the Borrower’s valuation of its assets, as well as certain matters related thereto. The reasonable and documented or invoiced fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such professional consultants, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6, shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all Other Taxes and agrees to save the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Other Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.6, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the costs or expenses of the Lenders (other than the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, or the Paying Agent in their capacities as such) following an Event of Default if such costs or expenses are related to disputes among the Secured Parties.

Section 10.7. Right of Set-off; Ratable Payments; Relations Among Lenders.

(A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by and other indebtedness at any time owing to the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loan Notes, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Loan Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The Administrative Agent and each Xxxxxx agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 10.7(A) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have.

(B) If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Advances in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such other Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Advances held by the Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable share of Advances. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be

subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon written demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them, provided that:

(i) if any such portions are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such portions shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Lender), (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Subject to acceptance by the Administrative Agent and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (C) of this Section 10.8, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 10.5 and Section 10.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (D) of this Section 10.8.

(C) Register. Upon, and to the extent of, any assignment (unless otherwise stated therein) made by any Lender hereunder and subject to recording thereof under this paragraph, the assignee or purchaser of such assignment shall be a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.15(G)) of a Lender hereunder. Each Funding Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (each, a “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders in its Lender Group, the Commitments of and outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of the Advances owing to each Lender in its Lender Group pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any assignment of such Commitments of its Committed Lenders and/or outstanding Advances. The entries in each Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Administrative Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(D) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) that is not a Disqualified Lender, unless, in the case of a sale of a participation to a Disqualified Lender, either (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing (in which case the consent of the Borrower shall not be required) or (ii) the Borrower has consented to such sale in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being agreed and acknowledged that the

Borrower shall be deemed to have consented unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the applicable Lender within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof), which, in either case, such participant shall not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of this Agreement (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Funding 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 10.5 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 and Section 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(G) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(G) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.8; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or Section 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17(A) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(A) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.7(B) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances 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, letters of credit 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(F) Disqualified Lenders or Defaulting Lenders. If any assignment or participation is made to a Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender in violation of this Section 10.8, the Borrower may upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) purchase or prepay the Advances held by such Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender paid to acquire such Advances, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other entities at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

Disqualified Lenders (A) will not, absent an Event of Default or consent from the Borrower (x) have the right to receive financial reports that are not publicly available, Monthly Servicer Reports or other reports or confidential information provided to Lenders by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (other than Tax reporting information with respect to the Advances), (y) attend or participate in meetings with the Borrower attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site maintained by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to provide Lenders with confidential information or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent and (B)(x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or

plan of liquidation, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by a bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(G) Assignment by Conduit Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be needed for a Conduit Lender to assign its interests hereunder to its liquidity bank or an Affiliate or to any other Conduit Lender in its Lender Group or to grant a security interest in its interests hereunder to any conduit trustee (in each case, other than any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Lender), and (ii) any such pledge, assignment or grant of security interest may otherwise be made without compliance with Section 10.8(B). For any such assignment, the assigning entity will be permitted to use its internal form of assignment instead of the Assignment and Assumption attached hereto and each such assignment shall be recorded on the books and records of the relevant Lenders, without the need to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption, and for all purposes of this Agreement and all related documents, the relevant Lenders shall be deemed to have the benefit of an executed, delivered, accepted and recorded Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment.

Section 10.27. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
