DEFINITIONS
SECTION
1.01. Definitions. Whenever
used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context
otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:
“1940 Act” means the

“Advance” has the
meaning given to such term in the Note Purchase Agreement.
“Advance-Funded Loan”

for purposes of the conditions, obligations, certifications and delivery
requirements (as applicable) provided for in Sections 2.03(b),
2.05 and 2.06, and Section

other purposes under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, any
Advance-Funded Loan as to which each of the above-referenced conditions,

been satisfied (as confirmed in writing by the Servicer to the Deal Agent and
the Indenture Trustee) shall no longer constitute an Advance-Funded Loan for any
purpose under this Agreement.

collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Assets” but
which in each case shall exclude any Retained Interest):
- 39
-

amount equal to the purchase price set forth in the respective applicable
Assignments for the Loans sold on such Transfer Date, which Purchase Price shall
equal the Outstanding Loan Balance of such Loans. Such Purchase Price shall be

on the related Transfer Date, and shall consist of (i) the proceeds of any
Advances made to the Issuer in connection with the acquisition of such Loans
plus (ii) to

Originator and Issuer intend and agree that (i) the transfer of the Loan Assets

the Originator’s estate in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition or

deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure indebtedness, the
Originator shall be deemed to have granted the Issuer a perfected first priority
security interest in such Loan Assets and this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under Applicable Law, securing the repayment of the purchase
price paid hereunder and the obligations and/or interests represented by the

conditions of, this Agreement, the Indenture and the Note Purchase Agreement,

SECTION
2.04. Release of Released
Amounts. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
Issuer has no interest in the Retained Interest and Released Amounts. The
Indenture Trustee is hereby directed to and does agree to release to the Issuer
from the Loan Assets, and the Issuer hereby agrees to release to the Originator,
an amount equal to the Released Amounts within one Business Day following
receipt of written notice from the Servicer identifying any amounts as Released
Amounts (which notice shall be signed by a Servicing Officer if such Released
Amounts for such Business Day equal or exceed $10,000 or if the aggregate
Released Amounts in any Collection Period equal or exceed $25,000), which
release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer; provided that the Indenture
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment or
other documents, or otherwise confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably
be requested by the Originator in writing. Such Released Amounts shall not
constitute and shall not be included in the Loan Assets.
- 42
-
SECTION
2.05. Delivery of Underlying Notes
and the Loan Files. The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs
the Originator to deliver to the Indenture Trustee on or before each Transfer
Date (i) possession of all original, executed Underlying Notes and Allonges for
each Loan (except in the case of any Noteless Loan) to be transferred on such
Transfer Date, (ii) a PDF copy via e-mail of the related Loan Checklist for each
such Loan, (iii) a List of Loans including each Loan to be transferred on such
Transfer Date and (iv) the Loan File associated with each such Loan; provided that notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any Advance-Funded Loan, in lieu of the items
required by clause
(i) and (iv) above, the
Issuer shall (A) (other than in the case of a Noteless Loan) have a copy of the
executed Underlying Note (accompanied by a Certificate of Issuer’s Counsel)
faxed to the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Transfer Date and cause the
original of such Underlying Note to be received by the Indenture Trustee within
two Business Days after such Transfer Date, and (B) within seven Business Days
of the Transfer Date deliver all other portions of the Loan File, in each case
endorsed in blank without recourse, where applicable.
SECTION
2.06. Certification by Indenture
Trustee; Possession of Underlying Notes.
(a) Within
two Business Days following the applicable Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall, by delivery to the Originator and the Servicer of a certification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit E, confirm
that (except as otherwise noted on the exception report attached thereto) it has
received (i) the Loan Checklist for each Loan identified on the List of Loans
delivered in respect of such Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.05, (ii)
for each Loan identified on the related List of Loans for such Transfer Date,
each of the original, executed Underlying Notes and Allonges identified on each
such Loan Checklist (or, in the case of any Advance-Funded Loan, a copy of the
executed Underlying Note accompanied by a Certificate of Issuer’s Counsel) and
(iii) except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.05, the
Loan File associated with each such Loan. Within five Business Days after each
Transfer Date (or such other time period mutually agreed to by the Indenture
Trustee and the Deal Agent), the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the
Originator, the Servicer, the Deal Agent and the Noteholders a final
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F evidencing,
among such other matters specified in such form of certification, (x) its
possession of the Underlying Notes and Allonges, if any, with respect to the
Loans being transferred on such Transfer Date; and (y) the completeness of the
Loan Files as of the date that such Loan Files were checked in by the Indenture
Trustee; (provided that
in the case of Advance-Funded Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver within
10 Business Days of the applicable Transfer Date an addendum to such final
certification evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files relating to such
Advance-Funded Loans as of the date of such addendum). If such final
certification states that the Indenture Trustee has not received an original
Underlying Note and Allonge with respect to any Advance-Funded Loan (other than
a Noteless Loan) transferred to the Issuer on the relevant Transfer Date, or if
the addendum to such final certification states that the relevant Loan File for
such Loan is not complete, such Loan and its related Underlying Collateral shall
thereafter be deemed an Ineligible Loan for all purposes
hereunder.
- 43
-
(b) If
the Indenture Trustee during the process of reviewing the Loan Files finds any
document constituting a part of a Loan File or any Underlying Note or Allonge
which is not properly executed where applicable, has not been received, is
unrelated to a Loan identified in the List of Loans and Loan Checklist, or does
not conform in a material respect to the requirements of the definition of Loan
File, or the description thereof as set forth in the List of Loans, the
Indenture Trustee shall promptly so notify the Originator, the Servicer and the
Deal Agent. In performing any such review, the Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the
Indenture Trustee’s review of the Loan Files, the Underlying Notes and Allonges
is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in the definition of
Loan File have been executed and received and relate to the Loans identified in
the List of Loans; provided that with respect to
the UCC financing statements referenced in clause (g) of the
definition of Required Loan Documents, the Indenture Trustee’s sole
responsibility will be to confirm that the Loan File contains UCC financing
statements (to the extent such statements are identified on the related Loan
Checklist) and not to make determinations about the effectiveness or materiality
of such UCC financing statements or whether the information contained therein is
accurate. For the avoidance of doubt, the scope of the Indenture Trustee review
shall not include the verification of the Outstanding Principal Loan Balance of
any Loan. The Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material
defect in a document constituting part of a Loan File or any Underlying Note or
Allonge of which it is so notified by the Indenture Trustee. If, however, within
30 days after the Indenture Trustee’s notice to it respecting such material
defect the Originator has not remedied the defect and such defect materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Loan, such Loan will be treated as an
“Ineligible Loan” and the Originator will take such action with respect to such
Loan as required by Section
11.01.
(c) On
the Payment Date in June of each year, commencing June 2008, the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Servicer and the Deal Agent a list
of all Underlying Notes and Allonges which were released by or returned to the
Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar year (or, in the case of the Payment
Date in June 2008, since the Closing Date), the date of such release or return
and the reason for such release or return (such reason to be provided to the
Indenture Trustee by the Servicer).
(d) It
is acknowledged and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, maintain physical possession of the Loan Files and
release such documents only in accordance with Section
5.03.
SECTION
2.07. Discretionary Sales of

Event of Default or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer

paid) by the Issuer on the Discretionary Sale Date is sufficient to satisfy the
requirements in clauses (i) through
(iii) of this
clause (F) and
is sufficient to reduce the Advances outstanding such that the Availability

necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing
duties hereunder, and the Issuer shall assist the Servicer to the fullest extent

related to such Loan or related Underlying Loan Documents on behalf of the
Issuer. Any waiver, modification or variance of any Loan or the related
Underlying Loan Documents made by the lenders party to such Loan without the

document, has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure or repossession of Underlying
Collateral either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered
to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to
the name and address of the Person to whom such Loan File or portion thereof, or
such document, was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon

agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement securing Underlying
Collateral) or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies
or rights provided by the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note
or other agreement securing Underlying Collateral) or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting
that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture Trustee and
certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, that such
documents are necessary for the proposed action and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise
adversely affect the Lien of the agreement securing Underlying Collateral,

trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request
from a Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the Indenture Trustee
by the Servicer or take any other action requested in such request, that is, in
the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced by such request, required or
appropriate by any state or other jurisdiction to discharge the Lien securing
Underlying Collateral upon the satisfaction thereof and the Indenture Trustee
will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any such documents to the
Servicer, or such other party as the Servicer may direct, within five Business
Days of the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such certificate or documents. The
Indenture Trustee will have no obligation to verify, investigate or determine
any documents provided by the Servicer in such written request and shall be
fully protected and indemnified by the Servicer for taking any such action at
its written request. Such certificate of a Servicing Officer shall state that
the related Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor (or
subject to a deficiency claim against such Obligor) and that such payment has
been deposited in the Collection Account.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 5.03 to the

if the Required Noteholders request in writing to the Indenture Trustee,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established servicing institution having a net worth of not less than
$50,000,000 as the Successor Servicer in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer.
(c) As
compensation, any Successor Servicer so appointed shall be entitled to receive

to the applicable Priority of Payments.
(d) Neither
the Successor Servicer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be held liable by reason
of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any
delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions

(e) On
or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in
all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Servicer shall
be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such
Servicer Transfer; provided that (i) the
Successor Servicer will not assume any obligations of the Servicer described in
Section 8.02,
(ii) the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the

related document or agreement, (iii) the Successor Servicer shall have no
obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the
Servicer, (iv) the Successor Servicer shall have no obligation to pay any taxes
required to be paid by the Servicer, (v) the Successor Servicer shall have no

obligations of the Servicer contained in Sections 5.02(e) and

the Successor Servicer shall have no liability or obligation with respect to any
Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer including the
original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Indenture Trustee, in
its capacity as Successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those instances of
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indenture Trustee in its role as
Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee. The
Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any Successor Servicer is
authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including
computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Loans
(collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work
Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and such
successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability
for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy,
omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively,
“Errors”) exist
in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more
difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor
Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”),
the Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or
liability for such Continued Errors; provided that the Successor
Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In
the event that the Successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued
Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Deal Agent, use its best efforts
to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct
such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. The
costs of the Successor Servicer expended in connection with such reconstruction
and reconciliation shall constitute Transition Expenses.

with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection
of the Loans and the Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall,
subject to Section 8.03,
have all of such obligations, except that the terminated Servicer will transmit
or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer for its own
account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts
(properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them)
received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the
Loans.

Defaults. The Deal Agent may, on behalf of all the Noteholders
with the written consent of the Required Noteholders, waive any events
permitting removal of the Servicer pursuant to this Article 8; provided that the Deal Agent
may not waive a default in making a required distribution on a Note without the
consent of each Holder of such Note. Upon any waiver or cure of a past default,
such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default or Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver or cure shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so
waived.
SECTION
8.08. Responsibilities of the
Successor Servicer.
(a) The
Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the

by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor
Servicer.
(b) The
Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for the prompt and
safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer, all
Records reflecting all applicable Loan information. The initial Servicer shall
be obligated to pay the costs associated with the transfer of the servicing
files and records to the Successor Servicer.
(c) The
Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default
hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any
delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure
or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting in accordance with
information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Successor Servicer
or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The
Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and
shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party,
including the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee or for any inaccuracy or
omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Servicer from
any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity,
unenforceability of any Loan with applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy
of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Loan.

(d) If
the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the role of
Successor Servicer hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the
benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 5.06
concerning delegation of duties to subservicers.

Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any representation
or warranty set forth in Section 3.02(b) with
respect to a Loan, Related Property and other related Collateral or (ii) notice
by the Indenture Trustee in the applicable final certification, delivered
pursuant to Section
2.06(a), that it has not received an original Underlying Note and Allonge
with respect to any Loan (each such Loan and related Underlying Collateral, an
“Ineligible
Loan”), other than a Noteless Loan, no later than 30 days after the
earlier of (x) knowledge of such breach on the part of the Servicer and (y)
receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof given by the Deal Agent or the
Indenture Trustee (each such event, a “Warranty Event”), the
Servicer shall immediately notify the Issuer and the Originator of such breach,
and the Originator shall (1) promptly cure such breach (if such breach is
susceptible to cure) in all material respects (except breaches of those
representations and warranties qualified by materiality or by reference to a
material adverse effect, which shall be cured in all respects), (2) repurchase
each such Ineligible Loan by depositing in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the amount that would be required to repay or apply Availability to
reduce Advances outstanding such that after giving effect to such repurchase the
Availability will be equal to or greater than zero, or (3) substitute for such
Ineligible Loan a Substitute Loan; provided that with respect to
a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the Loans in the aggregate
and not to any particular Loan, the Originator may select Loans (without adverse
selection) to repurchase, or substitute Substitute Loans therefor, such that had
such Loans not been included as part of the Loan Pool (and, in the case of a
substitution, had such Substitute Loan been included as part of the Loan Pool
instead of the Replaced Loan) there would have been no breach of such
representation or warranty. The Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured
Parties shall release to the Issuer any such Ineligible Loan(s) and any Lien
created pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall be automatically released
upon any such repurchase or substitution effected pursuant to this Section 11.01(a), and
the Secured Parties shall, in connection with such release and without further
action, be deemed to represent and warrant that they have the corporate
authority and have taken all necessary corporate action to accomplish such
release, but without any other representation or warranty, express or implied.
In the foregoing instances, on and after the date of such repayment, each
Ineligible Loan so released shall not be included in the Loan Pool. Upon each
repurchase or substitution effected pursuant to this Section 11.01(a), the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties shall automatically and
without further action be deemed to release to the Issuer all the right, title
and interest of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Ineligible Loan(s) and
all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds thereof and
all rights to security for any such Ineligible Loan, and all proceeds and
products of the foregoing. The Deal Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall, at
the request and sole expense of the Issuer, execute such documents and
instruments of transfer as may be prepared by the Issuer and take such other
actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Issuer to effect the transfer of
such Ineligible Loan pursuant to this Section
11.01.
(b) Without
prejudice to the provisions of Section 11.01(a), in
lieu of the Originator effecting a repurchase or substitution of any Third Party
Acquired Loan that is an Ineligible Loan, the Servicer acting on behalf of the
Issuer may sell such Loan in accordance with Section 2.07 for
a purchase price not less than the Outstanding Loan Balance of such Loan;
provided that if the Servicer fails to sell such Ineligible Loan within 15 days
after the applicable Warranty Event for a purchase price not less than the
Outstanding Loan Balance of such Loan, the Originator shall effect a repurchase
or substitution of such Ineligible Loan within the next 15 days.
SECTION
11.02. Reassignment of Repurchased
Loans. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee for deposit in
the Collection Account of the amounts described in Section 11.01, and

Assets without recourse, representation or warranty; and (b) release (or cause
the Indenture Trustee to release) to the Servicer for release to the Originator
the related Underlying Note and Allonge (if any). Such reassigned Loan shall no
longer thereafter be included in any calculations of Outstanding Loan Balances
required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Loan Pool.

effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Originator, the
Servicer, the Issuer, each Hedge Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee with the
written consent of the Deal Agent and the Required Noteholders; provided that no such
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall (i) increase the
Commitment of any Party or Noteholder without the written consent of such Party
or Noteholder, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Note or reduce the rate
of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written

hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written
consent of each Party or Noteholder, as applicable, affected thereby (it being

Required Noteholders shall not be deemed to have effected any such
postponement), (v) change the Priority of Payments without the written consent
of each Party and Noteholder affected thereby, (vi) release the Lien in favor of
the Indenture Trustee in all or substantially all of the Indenture Collateral
without the written consent of each Noteholder, except in the case of any such

to such release, the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance is not greater than
the Maximum Availability, or (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section
or the definition of “Required Noteholders” or any other provision hereof
specifying the number or percentage of Noteholders required to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the written consent of each Noteholder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and any other provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer may effect
any amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the
consent or signature of any other Person if the Issuer has been advised in
writing by counsel of recognized national standing, which may be Dechert LLP or
another counsel reasonably acceptable to the Deal Agent, that such amendment or
waiver is necessary or advisable to achieve compliance by the Issuer with the
requirements of Rule 3a-7 under the 1940 Act.
(b) Prior
to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall
be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate

in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,
maintain and protect the interest of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee
under this Agreement of the Loans and in the proceeds thereof. The Originator or
the Servicer or both shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Deal Agent
and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such
filing.
(b) In
the event that the Originator shall change the jurisdiction in which it is
incorporated or otherwise enter into any transaction which would result in a
“new debtor” (as defined in the UCC) succeeding to the obligations of the
Originator hereunder, the Originator shall comply fully with the obligations of
Section
13.02(a).
(c) If
at any time the Originator or the Servicer proposes to sell, grant a security
interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in loans to any prospective
purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Originator and the Seller shall give
to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes,
records or print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives) that, if
they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Loan, indicate clearly that such Loan
has been sold and is owned by the Issuer unless such Loan has been paid in full
