In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Account Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Account Bank or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Account Bank or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. The completion, execution and submission of the documentation referenced in the preceding two sentences (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.11(e)(ii)(A) – (C) and 2.11(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Exhibit H-46
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
(ii) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement;
(A) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) establishing complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding Tax on all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement;
(B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms); or
(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 87l(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms).
In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender or promptly notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Account Bank and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Account Bank and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that a change in circumstance makes any information on the IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI or Exhibit E statement, as the case may be, incorrect and shall provide promptly a new such form or statement to the extent it is legally entitled to do so.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, if a payment made to a Lender pursuant to the Loans and this Agreement or any other Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Account Bank such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Account Bank as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Lenders or beneficial owners to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.11(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f) 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 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), 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 2.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and
Exhibit H-47
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
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 Section 2.11 (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 Section 2.11, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall 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.
SECTION 2.12. Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under, but not any obligations under, the Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Obligor Contracts relating to the Pledged Receivables and the related Receivable File related to the Pledged Receivables that arise under Obligor Contracts and the related Receivable File related to Pledged Receivables that arise under Obligor Contracts, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Pledged Receivable and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing (the “Assigned Documents”).

(b) Each Account shall be in the name of the Borrower for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, at the Account Bank, which shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties. Funds in each Account shall not be commingled with any other monies. The Account Bank shall ensure that the Accounts are at all times Eligible Accounts. All payments to be made from time to time by the Borrower to the Lenders and other Persons out of funds in any Account (other than the Collection Account) pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Paying Agent by remitting such payments to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall, on the same day of receipt, or, if received after 2:00 P.M. (New York time) as promptly as possible but no later than the next Business Day) remit such payments to the Lenders.
(c) Upon direction of the Borrower (or its designee), the Account Bank shall invest the funds in or credited to any or all of the Accounts (other than the Waterfall Account) in Eligible Investments. The direction of the Borrower (or its designee) shall specify the Eligible Investments in which the Account Bank shall invest, shall state that the same are Eligible Investments and shall further specify the percentage of funds to be invested in each Eligible Investment. No such Eligible Investment shall mature (or shall fail to be sellable without penalty) later than the Business Day preceding the next following Payment Date. In the absence of direction of the Borrower (or its designee), funds in such Accounts shall remain uninvested. Eligible Investments for funds in or credited to such Accounts shall be made in the name of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Funds in the Waterfall Account shall remain uninvested.
(d) Any proceeds, payments, income or other gain (net of losses and investment expense) from investments in Eligible Investments made in respect of funds in or credited to the Accounts, as outlined in clause (c) above, shall be treated as Investment Earnings. The Account Bank shall not be liable for any loss incurred on any funds invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.15 (other than losses from nonpayment of investments in obligations of the Account Bank issued in its individual capacity). In no event shall the Account Bank be liable for the selection of investments or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to the Facility Maturity Date or for the failure of any appropriate Person to provide timely written investment direction. WTNA, individually and in any capacity under the Transaction Documents, is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of
Exhibit H-66
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
any investment permitted by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of WTNA, individually and in any capacity under the Transaction Documents, or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that WTNA, individually and in any capacity under the Transaction Documents, is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.
(e) Each party hereto agrees that each of the Accounts (other than the Collection Account) constitutes a “securities account” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and in its capacity as Account Bank, WTNA (with regards to all other Accounts) shall be acting as a “Securities Intermediary” within the meaning of 8-102 of the UCC and that, regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, the State of New York shall be deemed to be the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” under Section 8-110 of the UCC. The Administrative Agent shall be the “entitlement holder” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC with respect to the Accounts. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary referenced above shall comply with “entitlement orders” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC originated by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Accounts, without further consent by the Borrower. Each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to each Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to each Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary or indorsed in blank, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Account be registered in the name of the Borrower, payable to the order of the Borrower or specially indorsed to the Borrower except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank. Any Eligible Investment consisting of “certificated securities,” as defined in the applicable UCC will be evidenced directly or indirectly by physical certificates and each such certificated security (i) will be delivered and held in its direct physical possession by the Securities Intermediary and (ii) (x) is registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary or (y) has been appropriately assigned thereon, or is accompanied by a bond power or assignment appropriately executed, in blank or to the Securities Intermediary, and is accompanied by any other documents required by the documents governing such security to effect the transfer of the registration thereof to the Securities Intermediary. Each party hereto agrees that the Collection Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and in its capacity as the Account Bank, WTNA (with regards to the Collection Account) shall be acting as the “bank” within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC and that, regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, the State of New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” under Section 9-304 of the UCC. The Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties (provided that the Administrative Agent grants the Paying Agent, in its capacity as agent for the Administrative Agent, the right to cause withdrawals from the Collection Account to the Waterfall Account in accordance with Section 2.05(a) hereof), and the Borrower shall have no right to close, make withdrawals from, or give disbursement directions with respect to, or receive distributions from any Account other than as expressly provided for by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Accounts shall be under the “control”, as defined in Sections 8-106 and 9-104 of the UCC, of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at all times. The Account Bank agrees that it shall comply with the instructions of the Administrative Agent in respect of the disposition of the funds in the Accounts without the need for further consent by the Borrower.
(f) In the event that the Securities Intermediary, has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Accounts or any security entitlement credited thereto, it hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the
Exhibit H-67
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
security interest created by this Agreement and that the Securities Intermediary’s rights to the funds on deposit therein shall be subject to Section 2.05(c). The financial assets credited to, and other items deposited to the Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than as created pursuant to this Agreement; except that the Securities Intermediary may set off the face amount of any payment made by check, wire transfer, ACH or otherwise that have been credited to any Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds.
(g) The Borrower hereby grants the Account Bank for the term of this Agreement an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to endorse all checks, drafts, remittances and receipts of every kind and nature (collectively “Items”) deposited into the Accounts. The Account Bank may supply whatever endorsement it may deem necessary for such Items, provided such remittances are payable to the Borrower in its name or a trade name of the Borrower or any reasonable variation thereof, in order to deposit such Items to the Accounts. The Borrower agrees that such endorsement shall constitute the proper endorsement of the Borrower. The Account Bank warrants no endorsements.
(h) Upon request by a Lender, the Account Bank shall grant such Lender view-access to the Accounts and make available to such Lender MT940 statements relating to the Accounts.
SECTION 6.16. Notices and Reports to Lenders.

LEGAL02/42958175v30
a

Upon the occurrence of the Rapid Amortization Commencement Date resulting from any event described in Section 7.01(d) above, the Loans and all interest and all fees accrued on such Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable (and the Borrower shall pay such Loans and all such amounts and Obligations immediately).

If any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate, effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall remain at the Default Rate during the continuance of such Event of Default.
SECTION 7.02. Additional Remedies of the Administrative Agent.
(a) If, (i) upon the Administrative Agent’s declaration that the Loans made to the Borrower hereunder are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01, (ii) upon an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(d), or (iii) on the Facility Maturity Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, all accrued fees and interest and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full in cash, then the Administrative Agent, in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall, upon written request of the Required Lenders, in its own name and as agent for the Secured Parties, immediately sell (at the direction of the Required Lenders), in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Required Lenders may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Pledged Assets and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i)(C).

(c) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Pledged Assets pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations and applied in accordance with Section 2.05(c) will be paid to (or at the direction of) the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i)(C)(9), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available at law, in equity or under any other agreement between the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as the case may be, and the Borrower, but in each case without violating any rights or remedies of the applicable Secured Parties contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise
Exhibit H-70
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Rapid Amortization Event or Event of Default.
SECTION 7.03. Buyout Rights. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01, in the event the Required Lenders direct the Administrative Agent in writing to foreclose or liquidate the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall have received, within [***] after commencing such foreclosure or liquidation process, any written offers to acquire the Collateral from a Person other than Oportun, Inc., the secured creditors of Oportun, Inc. or any Lender (such offers may be referred to as the “Designated Offers”), the Administrative Agent shall provide copies of the Designated Offers to Oportun, Inc. and the Lenders, and:

(iv) if no Class B Lender exercises such option or all Class B Lenders affirmatively reject such option, each Class A Lender will have the option, within ten (10) Business Days of the expiration or rejection of the option pursuant to clause (iii) above, to purchase all of the Collateral for a purchase price equal to the higher of the highest offered price specified in the Designated Offers or (2) the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Class A Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans to the next Payment Date plus the amount of any other Obligations owed to the Class A Lenders and their related Indemnified Parties, by payment of immediately available funds to the Waterfall Account.

If none of Oportun, Inc., Oportun, Inc.’s secured creditors or the Lenders have exercised their respective option within the applicable time period set forth above, or all such Persons have affirmatively rejected such option, the foregoing options shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and the Administrative Agent may proceed to sell the Collateral to the highest offeree, subject to Section 7.04(b), it being agreed and understood that if accepting a Designated Offer will result in the circumstance contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 7.04(b), then no option referenced in this Section 7.03 shall be applicable.
SECTION 7.04. Sale of Collateral.
(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 7.02 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral securing the Loans shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Loans and under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall have been paid in full in cash. The Administrative Agent may from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.
(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent shall not, in any Sale, sell, or otherwise liquidate, all or any portion of the Collateral, unless:

(c) [Reserved].
(d) Any Lender, Oportun, Inc. or any of Oportun, Inc.’s secured creditors may bid for and acquire any portion of the related Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof. After the Administrative Agent has received each offer to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender (and, if any of them have submitted a bid, Oportun, Inc. and Oportun, Inc.’s secured creditors) of the highest offer, and the maker of such highest offer will have the sole right to purchase (not later than [***] after the expiration or rejection of the option of the Class A Lenders set forth in Section 7.03) the related Collateral at the highest price there offered. If a Lender submits the highest bid, in lieu of paying cash therefor, such bidder may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price that portion of the net proceeds of such Sale to which such bidder would be entitled, after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Lender in connection with such Sale. The Promissory Notes, if any, evidencing the Loans need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against the Loans. The Lenders may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law.
(e) The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority, coupled with an interest, in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower or in its own name, from time to time, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default for the purpose of exercising the

None of the Borrower, the Depositor or the Seller, may assign or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders, and any such assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be void ab initio and of no force and effect.
(b) Each Lender, assignee or participant of the Class C Loan (or any interest therein), by accepting and owning a beneficial interest in such Class C Loan (or any interest therein) and pursuant to the written certification described in clause (v) below, represents and agrees as follows:

(B) will not participate in the creation of, or enter into, any financial instrument or contract payments on which are, or the value of which is, determined in whole or in part by reference to the Class C Loan or the Borrower (including the amount of Borrower payments on the Class C Loans, the value of the Borrower’s assets, or the result of the Borrower’s operations), or any contract that otherwise is described in U.S. Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B).
(ii) if it is or may become (or if it is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-3(a) (a “DRE”), which owner is or may become), for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation, then (A) (1) less than 50% of the value of any person’s interest in it (or if it is a DRE, its owner)is attributable to its interest in the Class C Loan and any other interests in the Borrower, or (2) such person has received a written determination from the Borrower that its ownership of the Class C Loan will not cause the Borrower to be unable to rely on the “private placement” safe harbor of U.S. Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(h) and (B) it is not and shall not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving such person’s investment in any interests of the Borrower to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100-partner limitation of U.S. Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii);
(iii) it is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and it will provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and any of their agents) with the properly completed and signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form);
(iv) it does not and will not beneficially own a Class C Loan (or any beneficial interest therein) in an amount that is less than the Minimum Denomination;
(v) prior to any transfer or participation of any beneficial interest in its Class C Loan, it will cause any transferee or participant of such beneficial interest to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a written certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G confirming each of the representations and agreements to be made by such transferee or participant pursuant to this paragraph (b) and agrees that it shall provide such continuing assurances, comfort, evidence, and information in support of and in connection with the continuing truth of the representations and compliance with the agreements set forth in this paragraph (b) as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time;
(vi) if it is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by its holding of an interest in such Class C Loan, hereby severally represents, warrants and covenants that it is not a member of an
Exhibit H-79
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
“expanded group” (within the meaning of the regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) that includes a foreign person that owns any Class A Loan or Class B Loan (or any interest therein);
(vii) If any Class C Loan is required to be treated other than as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then it shall agree to the designation made pursuant to the Trust Agreement of the partnership representative (and the tax matters partner for any applicable state or local tax purposes) of any partnership in which it is deemed to be a partner under Section 6223(a) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and any applicable Treasury regulations thereunder;
(viii) (A) it shall provide to the Borrower any further information reasonably required by the Borrower to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, including Section 6226(a) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and (B) to the extent applicable, it shall hold the Borrower and its Affiliates harmless for any expenses or losses (i) resulting from it not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or (ii) that the Borrower or its Affiliates may suffer that are attributable to the management or defense of an audit under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or otherwise due to actions it takes with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law);
(ix) it acknowledges and understands that tax counsel to the Borrower has issued an opinion substantially to the effect that, among other things, the Borrower will not be subject to tax as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the validity of such opinion is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations and agreements set forth in this paragraph (b); and
(x) it acknowledges and agrees that any Transfer of a Class C Loan (or any interest therein) (A) that would violate any representations or agreements in this paragraph (b) or otherwise cause the Borrower to be unable to rely on the “private placement” safe harbor of United States Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(h) or (B) with respect to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have not received a certification from the proposed transferee or participant as described in clause (v), shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect, and it shall not Transfer any interest in a Class C Loan to any person that does not agree to be bound by this paragraph (b). While such a transfer is void ab initio, to the extent necessary, the Borrower has the right to, and may, cause the sale of any Class C Loan acquired in violation of this paragraph (b) at the cost and risk of the purported owner.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it shall record
Exhibit H-80
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
the names and addresses of each Lender and the Loans and Commitment Amount made by each such Person and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and each assignment. The Register shall include the names and addresses of each Lender (including all assignees and successors) and the percentage or portion of such Loans and Commitment Amounts assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such rights. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made by such Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Loan as provided in this Section and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loan shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loan shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Transfer Supplement pursuant to Section 9.04(a). Each Lender shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with any information reasonably requested by it for the purposes of maintaining the Register. Upon request, the Administrative Agent shall permit Borrower to review such information on the Register as reasonably needed for Borrower to confirm any such assignment or participation is in compliance with U.S. Treasury regulations section 5f.103-1(c) and in order to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any Applicable Law. It is the intention of the parties that each Lender’s rights hereunder will be treated as in registered form within the meaning of Code Sections 871(h)(2)(B) and 881(c)(2)(B) and U.S. Treasury regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Account Bank, the Owner Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer, and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Amount and each Loan owned by it) without the consent of the Borrower; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment Amount hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such participation in a Class C Loan shall not be in an amount less than the Minimum Denomination and (iv) the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.11(e) and (f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.11(e) and (f) 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 paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 2.11, 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 applicable 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 9.18.
(e) 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 Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Exhibit H-81
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitment Amount, Loans or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the Borrower or to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment Amount is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed 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 shall not have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
SECTION 9.05. Term of this Agreement. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to observe its covenants set forth in Articles V and VI and the Servicer’s obligation to observe its covenants set forth in Articles V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Articles VIII and IX and the provisions of Section 9.06, Section 9.08 and Section 9.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, Paying Agent, the Depositor Loan Trustee, the Owner Trustee or Account Bank.
SECTION 9.06. GOVERNING LAW; JURY WAIVER; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES IN THE PLEDGED ASSETS, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
(b) Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each Credit Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents against any Credit Party or its properties
Exhibit H-82
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by requirements of law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents in any court referred to above, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall require the Administrative Agent to exercise any discretionary acts.
(e) Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(g) Sharing of Set-Offs and Other Payments. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, whether through the exercise of rights under the Transaction Documents or rights of banker’s lien, set off, or counterclaim against Borrower or otherwise, obtain payment of a portion of the aggregate Obligations owed to it, taking into account all distributions made pursuant to Section 2.05(c), and such act causes such Lender to have received more than it would have received had such payment been received by the Account Bank and distributed pursuant to Section 2.05(c), then (a) it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased and shall be obligated to purchase interests in the Obligations as necessary to cause all Lenders to share all payments as provided for in Section 2.05(c), and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all Lenders share all payments of Obligations as provided in Section 2.05(c); provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall in any way affect the right of any Lender to obtain payment (whether by exercise of rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim or otherwise) of indebtedness other than the Obligations. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any holder of any such interest or other participation in the Obligations, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may to the fullest extent permitted by law exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off, or counterclaim as fully as if such holder were a holder of the Obligations in the amount of such interest or other participation. If all or any part of any funds transferred pursuant to this section is thereafter recovered from the seller under this section which received the same, the purchase provided for in this Section 9.15(g) shall be deemed to have been rescinded to the extent of such recovery, together with interest, if any, if interest is required pursuant to the order of a tribunal order to be paid on account of the possession of such funds prior to such recovery.
(h) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any such sub-agent appointed with due care.
Exhibit H-90
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such delegation of duties or performance thereof by or through a sub-agent or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or a sub-agent shall relieve the Administrative Agent of its responsibilities hereunder. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.
(i) Collateral Matters. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Administrative Agent’s liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, Administrative Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever as to any of the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibilities (except as expressly set forth herein) as to the validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, written instructions, or any other documents in connection therewith, and will not be regarded as making nor be required to make, any representations thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to give, execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain any financing statements, notices, instruments, documents, agreements, consents or other papers as shall be necessary to (i) create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (ii) enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with respect to such pledge and security interest. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or liability (i) in connection with the acts or omissions of the Borrower or the Servicer in respect of the foregoing or (ii) for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any security interest created in the Collateral or the perfection and priority of such security interest.
(j) The Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to review or confirm the accuracy of, or be deemed to have any knowledge of the contents of, the Receivables Schedule or any Receivable Files or Collateral Package Items.
(k) Resignation and Removal. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived in writing by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless such notice is waived in writing by Xxxxxxxx). If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint in writing a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, the Required Xxxxxxx may appoint in writing, after consulting with the Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent. The Required Lenders may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, remove and replace Administrative Agent with a successor Administrative Agent appointed in writing by the Required Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent and the term
Exhibit H-91
LEGAL02/42958175v30
a
“Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a resigning Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation given in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph, the resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall cooperate in good faith, at the expense of the Borrower, to transfer, execute and deliver documents and take other actions reasonably requested by the successor Administrative Agent in connection with the succession of such successor Administrative Agent.

(vii) may request that the parties hereto deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall not be liable for any failures or delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to Force Majeure Delay, it being understood and agreed that the Paying Agent shall take commercially reasonable actions consistent with the banking industry to prevent such failures or reduce and mitigate such delays and resume performance after such Force Majeure Delay.

SECTION 9.18. Replacement of a Lender.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), 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 2.11, 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 Loans 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 to it pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, 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. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender (i) requests compensation under Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), 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 2.11 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 9.18(a), or (ii) becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04(a)), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the assignee shall not be an Affiliate of any Credit Party, (ii) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount in cash equal to all outstanding Loans funded or maintained by such Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees and other Obligations payable to such Lender (and its related Indemnified Parties) hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, from the assignee, and (iii) 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. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and 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 exist.
(c) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 9.18(a) above shall execute and deliver a Transfer Supplement with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment Amount and outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 9.04(a). Pursuant to such Transfer Supplement, (i) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment Amount and outstanding Loans and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and Commitment Amount so assigned shall be paid in full in cash by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Transfer Supplement, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Xxxxxx shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans and Commitment Amounts, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

assigns shall have all of the rights of a third party beneficiary solely in respect of Sections 7.03 and 7.04 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly enforce the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 7.04 hereof. No other Person, including any Obligor, shall be entitled to any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
SECTION 9.20. Limitation of Liability.
(a) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) the Borrower is a Delaware statutory trust, existing as a separate legal entity under Delaware law, (ii) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Borrower is binding only on the Borrower and is not intended as, and does not constitute representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by WTNA, individually or as Owner Trustee, (iii) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WTNA, individually or personally or as Owner Trustee, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (iv)WTNA, has made no investigation (and is under no obligation to make any investigation) as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement, and (v) under no circumstances shall WTNA, be personally liable for the payment of any indemnity, indebtedness or expenses of the Borrower or be liable for the performance, breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other related documents, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Borrower. The rights, duties and obligations of Borrower hereunder will be exercised and performed by the Administrator on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to authority granted under the Trust Agreement and under no circumstances shall WTNA, individually or as Owner Trustee, have any duty or obligation to monitor, supervise, exercise or perform the rights, duties or obligations of Borrower, or the Administrator or any other agent of the Borrower hereunder.
(b) The parties expressly acknowledge, agree and consent to WTNA acting in the capacities of Paying Agent, Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor Loan Trustee and Account Bank. WTNA may, in such capacities, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles breach of fiduciary duty or other equitable principles to the extent that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by WTNA of express duties set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any of such capacities. The parties hereto and any other person having rights hereunder expressly waive any defenses, claims or assertions arising out of WTNA acting in such multiple capacities.
(c) Any corporation or association into which the WTNA (individually or in any of its capacities) may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the WTNA is a party, will be and become the successor the Administrative Agent, Paying Agent and Account Bank, as applicable, under this Agreement and any other applicable Transaction Document and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.
(d) No Lender shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if any such Xxxxxx was advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action by which such losses or damages may be claimed.

SECTION 9.21. Erroneous Payment. If a payment is made by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliates) in error (whether known to the recipient or not) or if a Lender or another recipient of funds is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds at such time of such payment or from such Person in accordance with the Transaction Documents, then such Lender or recipient shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended (as determined by the Administrative Agent) to be received) in the amount made available by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) to such Lender or recipient, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) to it but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender and other party hereto waives the discharge for value defense in respect of any such payment.
