(d)            From and after each Purchase Date, the Collateral listed on the Loan List shall be deemed to be Collateral hereunder.

(e)            On any Purchase Date with respect to the Collateral to be acquired by the Buyer on that date, the Seller shall be deemed to, and hereby does, certify to the Buyer and to the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as of such Purchase Date, that each of the representations and warranties in Section 4.02 is true and correct in all material respects as of such Purchase Date.

(f)             Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and purchase of Collateral under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Seller; it being understood that the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are limited so as not to constitute recourse to the Seller for the credit risk of the Obligors.

(g)            In connection with each Purchase of Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer hereby directs the Seller to, and the Seller agrees that it will, deliver in accordance with the Indenture, or cause to be delivered in accordance with the Indenture (on behalf of the Buyer), to the Trustee, each Collateral Obligation being transferred to the Buyer on such Purchase Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

(h)            The Seller shall take such action requested by the Buyer, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest and its assigns under the Indenture have an enforceable and perfected security interest in the Collateral Purchased by the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement.

-6-

(i)             In connection with the Purchase by the Buyer of the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller agrees that it will, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on and after each such Purchase that such Collateral has been Purchased by the Buyer and the Seller agrees that it will indicate clearly and unambiguously on and after the related Purchase Date in its financial statements that such Collateral is owned by the Buyer and is not available to pay creditors of the Seller.

(j)             The Seller agrees to deliver to the Buyer on or before each Purchase Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct Loan List (which shall contain the related Principal Balance, outstanding principal balance and Obligor name for each Collateral Obligation) as of the related Purchase Date. Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Buyer as confidential and proprietary (subject to the exceptions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents), and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, as such Schedule I may be supplemented and amended from time to time.

(k)            [Reserved].

(l)             [Reserved].

(m)           It is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of all right, title and interest in and to the Collateral to the Buyer by the Seller on each Purchase Date, as provided in this Section 2.01 shall constitute an absolute sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of such Collateral conveying good title, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, and that the Collateral shall not be part of the Seller’s bankruptcy estate in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the Seller. Furthermore, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Collateral Obligations and the other Collateral to the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.

(n)            If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(m), the conveyances provided for in this Section 2.01 by the Seller are determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC. With respect to the Collateral transferred on any Purchase Date hereunder, (A) the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected, first priority “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of its right, title and interest in and to such Collateral, now existing and hereafter created, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Collateral and all other obligations hereunder, (B) the Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law with respect thereto, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and (C) the Seller authorizes the Buyer and, so long as the Payment in Full Date has not occurred, the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties to file UCC financing statements and amendments, as necessary, naming the Seller as “debtor,” the Buyer as “assignor secured party,” and the Trustee, as “assignee secured party,” or similar applicable designations, each describing such Collateral, in each jurisdiction that the Buyer deems necessary in order to protect the security interests in the Collateral granted under this Section 2.01(n).

-7-

Section 2.02    Purchase Price.

The purchase price with respect to the Collateral sold on any Purchase Date by the Seller to the Buyer shall be a dollar amount equal to the Market Value thereof as determined by the Seller and the Buyer, and such transaction shall be on terms no less favorable to the Buyer than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate (in each case, the “Purchase Price”).

Section 2.03     Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)            The Purchase Price for any Collateral acquired by the Buyer from the Seller on any Purchase Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid in a combination of (A) immediately available funds in cash and (B) if the Buyer does not have sufficient funds in cash to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, by means of a contribution by the Seller to the Buyer.

(b)            [Reserved].

(c)            The Purchase Price for any Collateral Purchased by the Buyer to be settled directly with a third party on any Purchase Date shall be paid in immediately available funds, which may comprise, if the Buyer does not have sufficient funds in cash to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price, amounts contributed by the Seller to the Buyer to be paid to such third party.

(d)            Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller may on any Purchase Date elect to designate all or a portion of the Collateral proposed to be transferred to the Buyer on such date as a contribution to the Buyer. In such event, the cash portion of the Purchase Price payable with respect to such transfer shall be reduced by that portion of the Purchase Price of the Collateral that was so contributed; provided that Collateral contributed to the Buyer as shall constitute Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement. To the extent the fair market value of any Collateral purchased or acquired by replacement and substitution by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of cash paid or other consideration exchanged therefore, such excess shall be deemed to be a contribution from the Seller to the Buyer. In addition, the Seller may also elect to contribute cash or Collateral to the Buyer for any other purpose.

(e)            The Seller, in connection with each Purchase hereunder relating to any Collateral, shall be deemed to have certified, and hereby does certify, with respect to the Collateral to be Purchased by the Buyer on such day, that its representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day.

-8-

(f)             Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Collateral included in such Purchase shall vest in the Buyer, as provided herein, whether or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied; provided that the Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the Seller in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.

(g)            The Seller and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any underlying promissory note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of any Underlying Instruments may reflect that the Seller is transferring and/or assigning such Collateral Obligation directly to the Buyer. Nothing in any such documents or transfer or assignment agreements shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the Collateral Obligations by the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any such Collateral Obligation so transferred or assigned for administrative convenience shall be deemed sold and transferred by the related seller to the Seller and, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be sold and transferred directly or indirectly, as applicable, by the Seller to the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the applicable provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the conditions precedent to all purchases, the representations and warranties of the Seller, the covenants of the Seller and the indemnity of the Seller, contained in Section 3.02, Article IV, Article V and Article VII hereof, respectively, shall apply to the Seller with equal force with respect to any sales and assignments for administrative convenience under this Agreement (whether in connection with any sale or assignment by any related seller to the Buyer) as if such sale and assignment was directly or indirectly, as applicable, from the Seller to the Buyer as provided herein.

(h)            Collateral Obligations may be purchased or acquired from time to time by the Buyer from the Seller or any of its Affiliates hereunder only if (i) the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Buyer than the terms it would obtain in a comparable, timely purchase or acquisition with a non-Affiliate and (ii) the transactions are effected in accordance with all applicable laws.

The Seller has duly observed and complied with all applicable laws, including the Securities Act and the 1940 Act, relating to the conduct of its business and its assets except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-12-

(k)            Sale Treatment. Other than for accounting and tax purposes, the Seller has treated the transfer of Collateral Obligations to the Buyer hereunder for all purposes as a sale and/or contribution by the Seller and purchase by the Buyer on all of its relevant books and records.

(l)             Security Interest.

(i)            As described in Section 2.01(n) hereof, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Collateral by the Seller to or the Buyer be, and be construed as, an absolute sale without recourse. If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties, such conveyance is determined for any reason not to be an absolute sale, this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) granted by the Seller in favor of the Buyer in all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Collateral transferred by the Seller thereto, as applicable, which security interest shall be a first priority perfected security interest prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject, as to enforcement, (A) to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or similar event applicable to the Seller and (B) to general equitable principles (whether enforceability of such principles is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);

(ii)           the Collateral Obligations, along with the Underlying Instruments, constitute “general intangibles,” “instruments,” “accounts,” “investment property,” or “chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC;

(iv)          the Seller has received all consents and approvals, if any, required by the terms of the Collateral Obligations to the sale of the Collateral Obligations hereunder to the Buyer (except (A) to the extent that the requirement for such consent is rendered ineffective under Section 9-406 of the UCC and (B) for any customary procedural requirements and agents’ and/or Obligors’ consents expected to be obtained in due course in connection with the transfer of the Collateral Obligations to the Buyer (except, in the case of clause (B), for any such agents’ consents where the Seller or any of its Affiliates is the agent which the Seller has or will obtain));

(v)           the Seller has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral Obligations granted by the Seller to the Buyer under this Agreement to the extent perfection can be achieved by filing a financing statement;

-13-

(vi)          other than the sale by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder and the back up security interest granted by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral Obligations, except in connection with any Financing Facility, if any, which security interests, if any, with respect to such Collateral Obligations will be released on the applicable Purchase Date. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements naming the Seller as debtor that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral Obligations constituting Collateral hereunder other than any financing statement (A) relating to the security interest granted to the Buyer under this Agreement, or (B) that has been or will be terminated as of the related Purchase Date or for which a release or partial release has been or will be timely filed. The Seller is not aware of the filing of any judgment or tax Lien filings against the Seller;

(vii)         except with respect to any Collateral Obligation for which there is no promissory note, all original executed copies of each promissory note that constitutes or evidences the Collateral Obligations sold by the Seller hereunder have been delivered by the Seller at the direction of the Buyer, as required hereunder; and

(viii)        none of the promissory notes, if any that constitute or evidence any Collateral Obligations sold by the Seller hereunder has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Buyer.

(m)           Value Given. The cash payments, if any, received by the Seller, and the increase in the value of the Seller’s interest in the Buyer as a result of any contribution by the Seller to the Buyer in respect of the Purchase Price of the Collateral Obligations sold by the Seller hereunder constitute reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer by the Seller to the Buyer of such Collateral Obligations under this Agreement, such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Buyer and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject to avoidance under any applicable bankruptcy laws.

(n)            Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Collateral Obligations by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

(o)            Lack of Intent to Hinder, Delay or Defraud. Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates has sold, or will sell, any interest in any Collateral Obligations conveyed to the Buyer hereunder with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of their respective creditors.

(p)            No Proceedings. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against or, to the actual knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Seller after due inquiry, threatened against or adversely affecting (i) the Seller or (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, before any court, arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official, in each case, which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-14-

(q)            Accuracy of Information. All written factual information heretofore furnished by the Seller for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such written factual information hereafter furnished by the Seller to any party to the Transaction Documents will be, accurate in all material respects, on or as of the date such information is stated or certified; provided that the Seller shall not be responsible for, nor have any liability with respect to, any factual information furnished to it by any third party, except to the extent that an Authorized Officer of the Seller has actual knowledge that such factual information is inaccurate in any material respect.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4.01 shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Collateral Obligations to the Buyer and be for the benefit of the Buyer and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and the Seller acknowledges that the Buyer and the Trustee may enforce directly any obligations of the Seller with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties that materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders.

Section 4.02     Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Agreement and the Collateral.

The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer, as of the Closing Date and as of each Purchase Date after the Closing Date:

(a)            Valid Transfer and Security Interest. This Agreement constitutes a valid transfer to the Buyer of all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under all of the Collateral sold thereto by the Seller on the related Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Seller or its Affiliates, except for Permitted Liens. If the conveyances contemplated by this Agreement are determined to be a transfer for security, then this Agreement constitutes a grant of a security interest by the Seller in all of the Collateral sold by the Seller on the related Purchase Date to the Buyer, which security interest is a valid and first priority perfected security interest in all Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens. Neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through the Seller shall have any claim to or interest in the Collection Accounts and if this Agreement constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property, except for the interest of the Seller in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC.

(b)            Eligibility of Collateral. As of each Purchase Date, (i) the Loan List is an accurate and complete listing of all Collateral as of the related Purchase Date and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Collateral and the amounts owing thereunder is true and correct as of the related Purchase Date, (ii) as of the related Purchase Date, each such loan asset sold by the Seller hereunder satisfies or satisfied, as applicable, the definition of Collateral Obligation, and (iii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.02(a) are true and correct with respect to each item of Collateral.

(c)            No Fraud. Each Collateral Obligation sold by the Seller hereunder was originated without any fraud or material misrepresentation by the Seller or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, on the part of the Obligor.

-15-

(d)            Ordinary Course of Business. Any sale of Collateral Obligations by the Seller to the Buyer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement is in the ordinary course of business and financial affairs of the Seller. Each remittance of collections on such Collateral Obligations by the Seller to the Buyer, as transferee thereof under this Agreement, will have been made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller.

Section 4.03     Representations and Warranties Regarding the Buyer.

By its execution of this Agreement, the Buyer represents and warrants to the Seller that:

(a)            Due Organization.

(c)            Due Authorization; Execution and Delivery; Legal, Xxxxx and Binding; Enforceability. The execution and delivery by the Buyer of, and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the other instruments, certificates and agreements contemplated hereby or thereby are within its powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite action by it and have been duly executed and delivered by it and constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(d)            Non-Contravention. None of the execution and delivery by the Buyer of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or performance and compliance by it with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof or thereof, will (i) contravene in any material respect or result in any breach of, any of the terms and provisions of, its certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement, (ii) conflict with or contravene (A) any applicable law, (B) any indenture, agreement or other contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets, including any Underlying Instrument, or (C) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or any of its assets or properties or (iii) result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, or permit the acceleration of any obligation or liability in, or but for any requirement of the giving of notice or the passage of time (or both) would constitute such a conflict with, breach or violation of, or default under, or permit any such acceleration in, any contractual obligation or any agreement or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound (or to which any such obligation, agreement or document relates), in each case under this clause (d) which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f)             Sale Treatment. Other than for accounting and tax purposes, the Buyer has treated the transfer of Collateral Obligations hereunder to the Buyer for all purposes as a sale by the Seller and purchase by the Buyer on all of its relevant books and records and other applicable documents.

Section 4.04     Ordinary Course of Business.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

Section 5.01     Affirmative Covenants of the Seller.

From the date hereof until the Payment in Full Date:

(a)            Compliance with Laws. The Seller will comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law with respect to the Collateral Obligations except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)            Preservation of Corporate Existence. The Seller will preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises, privileges and qualification has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the business operations, assets or financial condition of the Seller or on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the provisions of any other Transaction Document applicable to the Seller, or the performance by the Seller of its duties hereunder or thereunder.

-17-

(c)            Performance and Compliance with Collateral. The Seller will, at its expense, timely and fully perform and comply in all material respects with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under all agreements related to such Collateral.

(d)            Protection of Interest in Collateral. With respect to the Collateral Purchased by the Buyer from the Seller, the Seller will (i) sell such Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) (at the Seller’s expense) take all action necessary to perfect, protect and more fully evidence the Buyer’s, or its assignee’s, ownership of or security interest in such Collateral free and clear of any Lien, other than the Lien created hereunder and Permitted Liens, as provided in Section 2.01(n) including, without limitation (a) filing and maintaining (at the Seller’s expense) effective financing statements in all necessary or appropriate filing offices and filing all continuation statements, amendments or assignments with respect thereto in the appropriate filing offices, and (b) executing or causing to be executed such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or appropriate, and (iii) take all additional action that the Buyer or the Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably request to perfect, protect and more fully evidence the respective interests of the parties to this Agreement in the Collateral and of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Indenture.

(e)            Delivery of Collections. The Seller will cause all payments relating to all Collateral to be remitted directly to the Collection Account. In the event any payments relating to any Collateral are remitted directly to the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to the applicable Collection Account as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, the Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Buyer (and its assignees).

(f)             Separate Identity. The Seller acknowledges that the Buyer, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Indenture in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller (except as otherwise required under GAAP or applicable tax law). Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Seller will take all reasonable steps to maintain the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and to make it manifest to third parties that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and not just a division of the Seller (except as otherwise required under GAAP or applicable tax law). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller agrees that:

(i)            the Seller shall maintain corporate records and books of account separate from those of the Buyer;

-18-

(ii)           the annual financial statements of the Seller shall disclose the effects of the Seller’s transactions in accordance with GAAP and the annual financial statements of the Seller shall not reflect in any way that the assets of the Buyer, including, without limitation, the Collateral, could be available to pay creditors of the Seller;

(iii)          the resolutions, agreements and other instruments underlying the transactions described in this Agreement shall be continuously maintained by the Seller as official records;

(iv)          except as otherwise expressly permitted or required by the Transaction Documents, the Seller shall maintain an arm’s–length relationship with the Buyer;

(v)            the Seller will not hold itself out as being liable for the debts of the Buyer;

(vi)          except as otherwise permitted under the Transaction Documents, the Seller shall keep its assets and its liabilities wholly separate from those of the Buyer;

(vii)         the Seller will avoid the appearance, and promptly correct any known misperception of any of the Seller’s creditors, that the assets of the Buyer are available to pay the obligations and debts of the Seller;

(viii)        to the extent that the Seller performs any services on the Buyer’s behalf, the Seller will clearly identify itself as an agent for the Buyer in the performance of such duties; provided, however, that the Seller will not be required to so identify itself when communicating with the Obligors not in its capacity as agent for the Buyer but rather in its capacity as agent for a group of lenders; and

(ix)           the Seller shall take or refrain from taking, as applicable, each of the activities specified or assumed in the true sale opinion of Dechert LLP delivered on the Closing Date, upon which the conclusions expressed therein are based.

(g)            Cooperation with Requests for Information or Documents. The Seller will cooperate fully with all reasonable requests of the Buyer regarding the provision of any information or documents in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Seller without undue burden or expense which are necessary or desirable, including the provision of such information or documents in electronic or machine–readable format, to allow each of the Buyer and its assignees (including, without limitation, the Trustee) to carry out their responsibilities under the Transaction Documents.

(h)            Merger or Consolidation of Seller.     Any Person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from such merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the business of the Seller, shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder, without execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary.

-19-

Section 5.02     Negative Covenants of the Seller.

From the date hereof until the Payment in Full Date:

(a)            Security Interests. Except for the transfers hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien other than Permitted Liens on any Collateral Obligation that constitutes part of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter transferred hereunder, or any interest therein. The Seller will promptly notify the Buyer of the existence of any Lien on any such Collateral Obligation and the Seller shall defend to right, title and interest of the Buyer and its assignees in, to and under such Collateral Obligations, against all claims of third parties; provided that nothing in this Section 5.02(a) shall prevent or be deemed to prevent the Seller from suffering to exist Permitted Liens upon any of the Collateral.

(b)            Change of Name or Location of Loan Files. After the Closing Date, the Seller shall not change its name, move the location of its principal place of business and chief executive office, or change the jurisdiction of its formation, unless the Seller gives thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Buyer and the Trustee and takes all actions required under the UCC of each relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Buyer and the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral.

(c)            Accounting of Purchases. Other than for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale of the Collateral by the Seller to the Buyer; provided that, for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Buyer may be treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the transfer of Collateral by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder will not be recognized.

(d)            Changes in Payment Instructions. Except in connection with a repurchase or substitution as set forth in Article VI, the Seller shall not make any change in its instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Collection Account, unless the Trustee shall have given its prior written consent to such change.

ARTICLE VI

Option to repurchase AND Substitute Collateral Obligations

Section 6.01     Optional Repurchases or Substitution of Collateral Obligations.

(a)            The Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to substitute or repurchase from the Buyer certain Collateral Obligations sold or substituted by the Issuer as provided in Article XII of the Indenture and subject to the limitations therein and other applicable provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture.

-20-

Section 6.02     Reassignment of Substituted or Repurchased Collateral Obligations.

Upon (a) receipt by the Trustee for deposit in the applicable Collection Account of amounts required to be paid by the Seller in the case of any repurchased Collateral Obligation (which shall not be less than the Repurchase Price thereof) pursuant to Article XII of the Indenture (including as a result of any loan asset sold by the Seller hereunder failing to satisfy the definition of Collateral Obligation) or (b) upon the Purchase Date related to a substitute Collateral Obligation delivered by the Seller to the Buyer in accordance herewith and with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, the Buyer hereby assigns to the Seller all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in the Collateral Obligation being repurchased or substituted (together with the Collateral and any other Assets related thereto) without recourse, representation or warranty and the Buyer will cause the Trustee to release the Lien of the Indenture with respect thereto. Such reassigned Collateral Obligation (together with the Collateral and any other Assets related thereto) shall no longer thereafter be deemed a part of the Collateral or of the Assets and shall be deemed released from the security interests created by this Agreement and by the Indenture. The Seller may amend and modify the Loan List as applicable in connection with any such repurchase or substitution by providing an updated copy thereof to the Buyer and to the Trustee. To the extent any Repurchase Price exceeds the fair market value (as determined by the Seller) of the related Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a contribution by the Seller to the Buyer.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION BY THE SELLER

Section 7.01     Indemnification.

The Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer, the Trustee and any of their respective members, managers, authorized persons, officers, directors, employees, personnel and agents (any one of which is an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments, reasonable legal fees and related costs, and any other reasonable costs, fees and expenses that such Person may sustain as a result of the Seller’s fraud or the failure of the Seller to perform its duties in compliance in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Person claiming indemnification, provided that the Seller shall not be liable for any consequential (including loss of profit), indirect, special or punitive damages hereunder. Any Person seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Seller if such Person receives a complaint, claim, compulsory process or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability giving rise to a claim of indemnification hereunder but failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Seller is deprived of material substantive or procedural rights or defenses as a result thereof. The Seller shall assume (with the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the defense and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. The parties agree that the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall not be interpreted to provide recourse to the Seller against loss by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor with respect to a Collateral Obligation and that the Seller does not hereby agree to maintain the solvency of the Buyer. The Seller shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for any uncollectible or uncollected Collateral Obligation.

-21-

Section 7.02     Liabilities to Obligors.

Except with respect to the funding commitment assumed by the Buyer with respect to any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, no obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Collateral Obligations is intended to be assumed by the Buyer, the Trustee or any of the other the Secured Parties under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.03     Operation of Indemnities.

If the Seller has made any indemnity payments to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any amounts from others in connection with the same matter or matters that gave rise to such indemnity payments, such Indemnified Party will repay such amounts collected to the Seller up to and including the amount of such indemnity payments.

Section 7.04     Limitation on Liability.
