(i)            all such voluntary prepayments shall require prior written notice to the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and each Agent) by 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to such voluntary prepayment, which notice (herein called the “Prepayment Notice”) shall be in the form of Exhibit C-4 and shall include (among other things) the proposed date of such prepayment and the amount and allocation of such prepayment;

Section 2.5          Permanent Reduction of Facility Amount. (a) The Borrower may at any time upon four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), permanently reduce the Facility Amount (i) in whole or in part upon payment in full (in accordance with Section 2.4) of the Advances Outstanding or (ii) in part by any pro forma amount that the Facility Amount exceeds the Advances Outstanding (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment thereof). In connection with any permanent reduction of the Facility Amount under this Section 2.5(a), the Commitment of each Committed Lender shall automatically, and without any further action by any party, be reduced pro rata with all other Committed Lenders such that the sum of all Commitments will equal the newly reduced Facility Amount.

(b)            As a condition precedent to any permanent reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, any applicable Prepayment Fee; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to pay such Prepayment Fee (i) if the Lenders have, prior to the date of such reduction in whole or in part, declined a request for extension of the Revolving Period under Section 2.6 on substantially the same terms as already set forth herein; (ii) to any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender; (iii) during the continuation of a Non-Approval Event, at the time of any such permanent reduction of the Facility Amount; (iv) if such reduction occurs following any changes to the EU Securitization Regulation that will (a) require the Borrower, the Equityholder or any of their Affiliates to disclose information not otherwise expressly required to be so disclosed by the EU Securitization Regulation as in effect on the Effective Date, (b) impose any additional obligations upon the Borrower, the Equityholder or any of their Affiliates not otherwise expressly provided for by the EU Securitization Regulation as in effect on the Effective Date, or (c)(1) modify the manner of disclosure or, (2) modify the recipients of, or (3) otherwise affect the confidentiality of, any information, documents or reports required to be provided by the EU Securitization Regulation; (v) if the Base Rate in effect as of the Effective Date is changed to an Alternate Base Rate or any other alternative floating reference rate without the consent of the Borrower; (vi) if a replacement Facility Agent has been appointed without the consent of the Borrower, if the Facility Agent has resigned pursuant to Section 14.8; (vii) if the Facility Agent assigns any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 15.4(d); and (viii) to any Lender that has, prior to the date of such permanent reduction in whole or in part, demanded the Borrower pay any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 5.1.

Section 2.6          Extension of Revolving Period. The Borrower may, at any time after the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the last day of the Revolving Period, deliver a written notice to the Facility Agent requesting an extension of the Revolving Period for a minimum of twelve months. In the respective sole discretion of the Facility Agent and each Agent, the Revolving Period shall be extended to a date mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each Agent and in accordance with the other terms and conditions as may be agreed to from time-to-time by the Borrower and the Facility Agent.

Section 2.7          Calculation of Discount Factor.

(a)            In connection with (i) the purchase of each Collateral Obligation (other than a Permitted Collateral Obligation) and prior to such Collateral Obligation (other than a Permitted Collateral Obligation) being purchased by the Borrower and included in the Collateral or in connection with an Asset Approval Request pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Cut-Off Date, the Facility Agent will assign (in its sole discretion) a Discount Factor for such Collateral Obligation, which Discount Factor shall remain effective for such Collateral Obligation except as provided in clause (b) below; and (ii) the acquisition of any Permitted Collateral Obligation, the Facility Agent shall assign in its sole discretion, with written notice to the Borrower and the Servicer (which may take the form of an email), a Discount Factor for such Permitted Collateral Obligation, which Discount Factor may be 0% and shall remain effective for such Permitted Collateral Obligation.

(b)            If a Revaluation Event occurs with respect to any Collateral Obligation (other than a Permitted Collateral Obligation), the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation may be amended by the Facility Agent (in its sole discretion) in connection with each such Revaluation Event; provided that, the Facility Agent may not amend the Discount Factor of a Disputable Collateral Obligation that has been assigned a Discount Factor by an Approved Valuation Firm as set forth in clause (c) below prior to the occurrence of a subsequent Revaluation Event with respect thereto, in which case, the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 shall apply and such Collateral Obligation shall be subject to re-dispute pursuant to clause (c) below so long as such Collateral Obligation remains a Disputable Collateral Obligation following the occurrence of such subsequent Revaluation Event; provided further that, subject to clause (e) below, if a Revaluation Event described in clause (c) of the definition thereof has occurred with respect to a Disputable Collateral Obligation and the applicable Loan Party and/or the Servicer has cured such Revaluation Event pursuant to the proviso in such clause (c), then the Discount Factor of the applicable Disputable Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to not have been amended and no Revaluation Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect thereto. The Facility Agent will provide written notice of the revised Discount Factor to the Borrower and the Servicer.

-71-

(c)            If the Discount Factor with respect to any Collateral Obligation (other than a Permitted Collateral Obligation) assigned by the Facility Agent following a Revaluation Event is lower than the Discount Factor most recently in effect prior to such Revaluation Event and such Collateral Obligation is a Disputable Collateral Obligation, then the Borrower may (at its own expense) retain an Approved Valuation Firm to determine and provide (in accordance with the Valuation Standard) a new Discount Factor; provided that, the Borrower may not use for such purposes an existing valuation of such Disputable Collateral Obligation. Once a new Discount Factor is determined by an Approved Valuation Firm in accordance with this clause (c), then the Discount Factor of such Disputable Collateral Obligation shall be the Discount Factor determined by such Approved Valuation Firm in accordance with this Section 2.7(c).

(d)            The Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) may request that the Discount Factor be increased for any Collateral Obligation with respect to which (i) the Discount Factor was assigned a value below 100% by the Facility Agent; or (ii) the Discount Factor was decreased by the Facility Agent following the occurrence of a Revaluation Event.

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Discount Factor of a Delayed Reporting Obligation shall not be amended by the Facility Agent (other than pursuant to clause (d) above) if (i) no other Revaluation Event with respect to such Delayed Reporting Obligation has occurred; (ii) the Servicer provides and continues to provide a certification in each financial reporting package with respect to such Delayed Reporting Obligation that (x) the failure to deliver the applicable audit results is due to technical or administrative delay related to the audit or delay on the part of the related auditor and not due to any deterioration in the credit quality or extended review of the credit quality of such Delayed Reporting Obligation or the related Obligor and (y) the related Obligor is not considered defaulted pursuant to the Servicer’s internal policies; and (iii) the related Obligor continues to prepare and deliver financial reporting packages as required under the Underlying Instruments and such financial reporting packages are provided to the Facility Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.8          Increase in Facility Amount. The Borrower may, within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date (or such longer period as agreed by the Facility Agent and each affected Lender in its sole discretion), deliver a written notice to the Facility Agent (who shall forward a copy to each Agent and the Collateral Agent) (i) certifying that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) requesting an increase of the Facility Amount to an amount not to exceed $300,000,000 (the amount so requested being the “Increased Facility Amount”). Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, and subject to the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (which consent may be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent in its sole discretion), the Facility Amount shall be increased to the Increased Facility Amount on the later of (x) the second Business Day immediately following the receipt of such written notice by the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Agent and (y) the date on which the applicable Lenders (which may include new Lenders) have executed such documentation as the Facility Agent may reasonably require to evidence increased Commitments or new Commitments which, together with all other Commitments in effect as of such date, equal in the aggregate the Increased Facility Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the date that is ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.

-72-

Section 2.9          Defaulting Lenders.

(a)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i)            any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Collateral Custodian for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Facility Agent and advised to the Collateral Custodian in writing as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Facility Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion)), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Servicer, the Facility Agent or the Collateral Agent; third, if so determined by the Facility Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion), to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

(ii)            for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no circumstance shall the Borrower retroactively be or become required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b)            If the Facility Agent and the Borrower determine in their respective sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Facility Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of Advances Outstanding of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Facility Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.10          Borrowing Base Deficiency Payments.

(a)            If, on any day prior to the Facility Termination Date, (I) a Borrowing Base Deficiency (other than a Specified Borrowing Base Breach or an Excepted Borrowing Base Breach) exists or the Minimum Equity Condition is not satisfied, then the Borrower or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower shall, upon receipt of written notice from the Facility Agent or obtaining knowledge thereof, either (i) cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency or failure to satisfy the Minimum Equity Condition within three (3) Business Days by: (w) depositing cash in Dollars (or the equivalent in Dollars in another Eligible Currency, as determined by the Servicer using the Applicable Conversion Rate on such date) into the Principal Collection Account, (x) repaying Advances Outstanding; provided that, available amounts in any Eligible Currency may be applied to the repayment of Advances Outstanding in another Eligible Currency if the Servicer directs the Collateral Custodian to convert such amounts (using the Applicable Conversion Rate) into the Eligible Currency applicable to each such Advance subject to repayment pursuant to this clause (x), (y) to the extent such sales, in conjunction with other actions, eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency or satisfy the Minimum Equity Condition, selling Loans in accordance with Section 9.34 and/or (z) selling additional Eligible Collateral Obligations in accordance with Section 9.34 (or any combination of the foregoing) or (ii) if no Cure Notice has been delivered within the previous six (6) calendar months, (x) within three (3) Business Days deliver a Cure Notice and (y) cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency or failure to satisfy the Minimum Equity Condition within seven (7) Business Days or (II) a Specified Borrowing Base Breach exists, then the Borrower shall, upon the Borrower receiving written notice from the Facility Agent or obtaining knowledge thereof, cure such Specified Borrowing Base Breach within 90 calendar days by: (w) depositing cash in Dollars (or the equivalent in Dollars in another Eligible Currency, as determined by the Servicer using the Applicable Conversion Rate on such date) into the Principal Collection Account, (x) repaying Advances Outstanding; provided that, available amounts in any Eligible Currency may be applied to the repayment of Advances Outstanding in another Eligible Currency if the Servicer directs the Collateral Custodian to convert such amounts (using the Applicable Conversion Rate) into the Eligible Currency applicable to each such Advance subject to repayment pursuant to this clause (x), (y) to the extent such sales, in conjunction with other actions, eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency or satisfy the Minimum Equity Condition, selling Loans in accordance with Section 9.34 and/or (z) selling additional Eligible Collateral Obligations in accordance with Section 9.34 (or any combination of the foregoing).

Failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect the satisfaction of the cure of the Borrowing Base Deficiency made pursuant to Section 2.10(a).

Section 4.3          Taxes. (a)  Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)            Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Facility Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)            Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, on the immediately following Distribution Date (to the extent of available amounts) after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Facility Agent), or by the Facility Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)            Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Facility Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Facility Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Facility Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Facility Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Facility Agent under this Section 4.3(d).

(e)            Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

-76-

(f)            Status of Lenders.

(i)            Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.3(f)(ii)(A), Section 4.3(f)(ii)(B) and Section 4.3(f)(ii)(D) 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.

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)            any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)            executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower (or its sole owner, as applicable) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower (or its sole owner, as applicable) as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

-77-

(IV)            to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Facility Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)            if a payment made to a Lender under any 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, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent 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 or the Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Facility Agent to (x) comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or (y) determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g)            Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.3), 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 4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund).

(c)            Nothing in this Section 7.9 shall derogate from the obligation of any Loan Party and the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 7.9.

Article VIII

ACCOUNTS; PAYMENTS

Section 8.1          Accounts. (a)  On or prior to the Effective Date, the Servicer or each Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, shall establish each Account in the name of the Borrower and each Account shall be a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account established with the Securities Intermediary, who shall forward funds from the Collection Account to the Collateral Agent upon its request for application by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.3(a); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Accounts denominated in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars may be established after the Effective Date but prior to the date any Advance is made in such Eligible Currency. If at any time a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge that any Account ceases to be an Eligible Account (with notice to the Servicer and the Facility Agent), then the funds in such Account shall be transferred to an account at another institution where such account meets the requirements of an Eligible Account.

-95-

Except as set forth below, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn by the Borrower (i) to fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Variable Funding Asset, or (ii) to make a deposit into the Collections Account as Principal Collections if, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is equal to or greater than (x) prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Revolving Liquidity Adjustment Amount and (y) after the end of the Revolving Period, the Aggregate Unfunded Amount.

Following the Facility Termination Date, any draw request made by an Obligor under a Variable Funding Asset included in the Collateral, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Facility Agent) along with an instruction to the Collateral Agent to withdraw the applicable amount from the Unfunded Exposure Account and a certification that the conditions to fund such draw are satisfied, and the Collateral Agent shall fund such draw request in accordance with such instructions from the Servicer.

Following the end of the Revolving Period, if a Loan Party shall receive any Principal Collections from an Obligor with respect to a Variable Funding Asset included in the Collateral and, as of the date of such receipt (and after taking into account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Amount (the amount of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded Exposure Shortfall”), the Servicer shall direct the Collateral Agent to and the Collateral Agent shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount of such Principal Collections equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of such Principal Collections and (y) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall.

(b)            All amounts held in any Account shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be invested by the Collateral Agent in the Standby Directed Investment or as otherwise directed by the Servicer in writing, in Permitted Investments that mature (i) with respect to the Collection Account, not later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for the Accrual Period to which such amounts relate and (ii) with respect to the Unfunded Exposure Account, on the immediately following Business Day. Any such written direction shall certify that any such investment is authorized by this Section 8.1. Investments in Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Borrower, and, except as specifically required below, such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the Collection Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such disbursement, the Collateral Agent shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such account to make such disbursement in accordance with and upon the written direction of the Servicer or, if the Servicer shall fail to give such direction, the Facility Agent. The Collateral Agent shall, upon written request, provide the Facility Agent with all information in its possession regarding transfer into and out of the Collection Account (including, but not limited to, the identity of the counterparty making or receiving such transfer). In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith, or for any failure of the Servicer or the Facility Agent, as applicable, to timely provide investment instructions or disposition instructions, as applicable, to the Collateral Agent. To the extent agreed to by the Borrower or the Servicer, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s or the Collateral Custodian’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments, and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.

-96-

(c)            Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth herein (including, without limitation, the withdrawal rights set forth in this Article VIII and in Section 10.16).

Subject to the other provisions hereof, after the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in the Account Control Agreement), the Collateral Agent shall have sole Control (within the meaning of the UCC) over each Account and each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent or its agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Collateral Agent in a manner that complies with this Section 8.1. All interest, dividends, gains upon sale and other income from, or earnings on, investments of funds in the Accounts shall be deposited or transferred to the Collection Account and distributed pursuant to Section 8.3(a).

(d)            The Equityholder may, from time to time in its sole discretion (x) deposit amounts into the Principal Collection Account, the Interest Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or (y) transfer Eligible Collateral Obligations as equity contributions to the Borrower. All such amounts will be included in each applicable compliance calculation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, calculation of the Borrowing Base, the Maximum Availability and the Minimum Equity Condition.

Section 8.2          Excluded Amounts. The Servicer may direct the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the applicable Account and pay to the Person entitled thereto any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent, which report shall include a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting such request and designate a date for the payment of such reimbursement, which date shall not be earlier than two (2) Business Days following delivery of such notice.

All such assets are transferred to the Loan Parties, as applicable, without recourse to the Equityholder except as described in the Sale Agreement. The purchases of such assets by the Loan Parties constitute valid and true sales for consideration (and not merely a pledge of such assets for security purposes) and the contributions of such assets received by the Borrower constitute valid and true transfers for consideration, each enforceable against creditors of the Equityholder, and no such assets constitute property of the Equityholder; provided that, with respect to any Participation Interest, such Loan Party shall not be the record owner of the underlying asset until such Participation Interest has been elevated to a loan.

From time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by Applicable Law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Collateral Agent in favor of the Secured Parties under this Agreement in the Collateral and in the proceeds thereof. Such Loan Party shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Collateral Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. In the event that such Loan Party fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Collateral Agent or the Facility Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) do so, in each case at the expense of such Loan Party, however neither the Collateral Agent nor the Facility Agent shall have any liability in connection therewith.

(b)            Such Loan Party shall not change its name, jurisdiction, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by or on behalf of such Loan Party in accordance with Section 10.1(a) above seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless such Loan Party shall have given the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements (and shall provide a copy of such amendments to the Collateral Agent and Facility Agent together with an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that all appropriate amendments or other documents in respect of previously filed statements have been filed).

(c)            The Borrower shall maintain its computer systems, if any, so that, from and after the time of the first Advance under this Agreement, the Borrower’s master computer records (including archives) that shall refer to the Collateral indicate clearly that such Collateral is subject to the first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Indication of the Collateral Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) security interest shall be deleted from or modified on the Borrower’s computer systems when, and only when, the Collateral in question shall have been paid in full, the security interest under this Agreement has been released in accordance with its terms, upon such Collateral Obligation becoming a Repurchased Collateral Obligation or Substituted Collateral Obligation, or otherwise as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Section 10.2          Other Liens or Interests. Except for the security interest granted hereunder and as otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 9.34, 9.35 and 10.16, such Loan Party will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Collateral or any interest therein (other than Permitted Liens), and such Loan Party shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and the Lenders in and to the Collateral against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Loan Party (other than Permitted Liens).

(c)            promptly, in reasonable detail, notice of (i) any Adverse Claim known to it that is made or asserted against any of the Collateral and (ii) the occurrence of any Revaluation Event or Material Modification with respect to any Collateral Obligation; provided that, the Servicer will be deemed to not have knowledge of any Revaluation Event that requires a determination to be made by the Facility Agent until such determination has been made;

(g)            It shall maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts separate from any other Person, including any Affiliate.

(h)            To the extent required under GAAP, it shall ensure that any consolidated financial statements including the Borrower, if any, have notes to the effect that the Borrower is a separate entity whose creditors have a claim on its assets prior to those assets becoming available to its equityholders.

(d)            Unless an alternative arrangement pursuant to Section 10.6(c) is being established, such Loan Party shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain a Replacement Hedging Agreement or Qualified Substitute Arrangement meeting the requirements of this Section 10.6 during the 30-day period following the expiration of the cure period set forth in the applicable Hedging Agreement.

No more than 50% of the debt obligations (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Borrower may at any time consist of real estate mortgages as determined for purposes Section 7701(i) of the Code unless, based on written advice of Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Xxxxxxx LLP or an opinion of other tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, the ownership of such debt obligations will not cause the Borrower to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 10.9          Merger, Consolidation, Etc. Such Loan Party shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to become the successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent in its sole discretion.

(c)            In addition to the above:

(i)            The Facility Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Facility Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action (at the written direction of the Facility Agent) that the Facility Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by each Loan Party hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution or filing by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral Obligations now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove; provided that, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to prepare or file any such financing or continuation statement and such obligation shall remain with the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 11.3(c)(i) shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower or the Servicer of their respective obligations to protect the interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral, including to file financing and continuation statements in respect of the Collateral in accordance with Section 10.1. It is understood and agreed that any and all actions performed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 11.3(c)(i) shall be at the written direction of the Facility Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with determining any actions necessary or desirable to perfect, protect or more fully secure the security interest granted by each Loan Party hereunder or to enable any Person to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder.

(ii)            The Facility Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Facility Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Facility Agent, any Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Facility Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Facility Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(iii)            Except as expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (x) unless and until (and to the extent) expressly so directed by the Facility Agent or (y) prior to the Facility Termination Date (and upon such occurrence, the Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the written instructions of the Facility Agent pursuant to clause (x)). The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Agent, or the Facility Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, an Event of Default or any notice, document, certificate or other information required to be forwarded by the Facility Agent to the Collateral Agent, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Agent.

-125-

(d)            If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Facility Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within two Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(e)            Concurrently herewith, the Facility Agent directs the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into the Account Control Agreement and any other related agreements in the form delivered to the Collateral Agent. All of the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections and immunities provided herein shall apply to the Collateral Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Account Control Agreement and any other related agreements in such capacity.

Section 11.4          Removal or Resignation of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; provided that, no resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed which successor Collateral Agent, so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Collateral Agent’s resignation, the Facility Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Servicer, the resigning Collateral Agent and to the successor Collateral Agent. In the event no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed within 60 days after the giving of notice of such resignation, the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The Facility Agent upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, may with or without cause remove and discharge the Collateral Agent or any successor Collateral Agent thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Agent, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Agent. Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent and the successor Collateral Agent, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer.

Section 11.5          Representations and Warranties. The Collateral Agent represents and warrants to each Loan Party, the Facility Agent, the Lenders and Servicer that:

(a)            the Collateral Agent has the corporate power and authority and the legal rights to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement;

(b)            no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or Official Body and no consent of any other Person (including any stockholder or creditor of the Collateral Agent) is required in connection with the execution, delivery performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement; and

Section 11.6          No Adverse Interest of Collateral Agent. By execution of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent represents and warrants that it currently holds and during the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of security or otherwise, in any Collateral Obligation or any document in the Collateral Obligation Files. Neither the Collateral Obligations nor any documents in the Collateral Obligation Files shall be subject to any security interest, lien or right of set-off by the Collateral Agent or any third party claiming through the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party interest in, the Collateral Obligations or documents in the Collateral Obligation Files, except that the preceding clause shall not apply to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian with respect to (i) the Collateral Agent Fees and Expenses or the Collateral Custodian Fees and Expenses, and (ii) in the case of any accounts, with respect to (x) returned or charged-back items, (y) reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers, or (z) overdrafts in the Collection Account.

For avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on Borrowing Base Certificates and Officer’s Certificates delivered by the Servicer. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

Section 11.8          Limitation of Liability and Collateral Agent Rights.

(b)            The Collateral Agent may consult counsel satisfactory to it with a national reputation in the applicable matter and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(c)            The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Facility Agent or the Servicer prior to an Event of Default.

(i)            In the event that the Collateral Custodian is not the same entity as the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement and shall not be required to monitor the performance of the Collateral Custodian.

(a)            institute proceedings in its own name and on behalf of the Secured Parties as Collateral Agent for the collection of all Obligations, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Borrower and any other obligor with respect thereto moneys adjudged due, for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in any Transaction Document or in the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Collateral Agent by Applicable Law or any Transaction Document;

(b)            exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties which rights and remedies shall be cumulative; and

(c)            subject to the rights of the Purchasing Parties (as defined in the Side Letter) set forth in the Side Letter, require the Borrower and the Servicer, at the Borrower’s expense, to (1) assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Facility Agent) and make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Facility Agent) that is reasonably convenient to such parties and (2) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral (at the direction of the Facility Agent) or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s or the Facility Agent’s offices or elsewhere in accordance with Applicable Law. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may, at the Borrower’s expense, engage a liquidation agent satisfactory to the Facility Agent in its sole discretion in order to solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral. The Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Facility Agent) may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and to be applied against the outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 4.1. The Servicer, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to participate in any such sale subject to terms and conditions that are no worse than any of the other foreclosure sale participants.

Section 13.4            Collateral Agent May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.  All rights of action and of asserting claims under the Transaction Documents, may be enforced by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Facility Agent) without the possession of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Collateral Agent shall be brought in its own name as Collateral Agent and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Collateral Agent, each predecessor Collateral Agent and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes and other Secured Parties.

Section 13.5            Collective Proceedings.  In any proceedings brought by the Collateral Agent to enforce the Liens under the Transaction Documents (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of any Transaction Document), the Collateral Agent shall be held to represent all of the Secured Parties, and it shall not be necessary to make any Secured Party a party to any such proceedings.

Section 13.6            Insolvency Proceedings.  In case there shall be pending, relative to the Borrower or any other obligor upon the Advances or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Borrower, its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Borrower or other obligor upon the Advances, or to the creditors of property of the Borrower or such other obligor, the Collateral Agent, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.6, shall be entitled and empowered but without any obligation, subject to Section 13.9(a), by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(a)            to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and Yield owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, all other amounts owing to the Lenders and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Collateral Agent (including any claim for reimbursement of all expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) and liabilities incurred, and all advances, if any, made, by the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent except as determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) and of each of the other Secured Parties allowed in such proceedings;

-138-

(b)            unless prohibited by Applicable Law and regulations, to vote (at the direction of the Facility Agent) on behalf of the holders of the Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person performing similar functions in any such proceedings;

(c)            to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Secured Parties on their behalf; and

Section 13.7            Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article XIII or by law to the Collateral Agent or to the other Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the other Secured Parties, as the case may be.

Section 13.8            Reserved.

-139-

Section 13.9            Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral.

Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, subject to Section 13.3(c) above, such Loan Party, upon five (5) days’ notice from the Collateral Agent, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 13.10 shall only be effective after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the rights of the Purchasing Parties set forth in the Side Letter.

Section 14.6            Non-Reliance on Note Agents. The Lenders expressly acknowledge that no Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Note Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Note Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Note Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations. Except as expressly provided herein, no Note Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Collateral or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Lenders which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

In no event shall any Note Agent 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 such Note Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall any Note Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 14.7            Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Facility Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer under the Transaction Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts of their Advances (or their Commitments, if no Advances are outstanding) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Facility Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Facility Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Facility Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith.

Section 14.8            Successor Note Agent. If the Facility Agent shall resign as Facility Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders (with the prior written consent of the Borrower) shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Facility Agent, and the term “Facility Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Facility Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Facility Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Facility Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.8. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than 50% of the Advances Outstanding held by such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent for such Lender Group. After any Note Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Note Agent under this Agreement. No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective until a successor Note Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent hereunder; provided that, in the event a successor Note Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such notice of its resignation is given as permitted by this Section 14.8, the applicable Note Agent may petition a court for its removal.

Section 14.9            Note Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Servicer as though such Note Agent were not an agent hereunder. Any Person which is a Note Agent may act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity.

Section 14.10            Borrower Agreed-Upon Procedures. The Facility Agent shall retain Protiviti, Inc. (or another nationally recognized audit firm acceptable to the Facility Agent in its sole discretion) to conduct and complete a procedural review of the Collateral Obligations in compliance with the standards set forth on Exhibit B hereto (as such Exhibit B may be reasonably amended from time to time as agreed to by the Facility Agent and the Servicer), (i) within 90 days after the Effective Date and (ii) annually at the request of the Facility Agent thereafter. The Facility Agent shall promptly forward the results of such agreed-upon procedures to the Servicer.

In order to comply with Applicable Banking Law, the Facility Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Facility Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Facility Agent, upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Facility Agent to comply with Applicable Banking Law.

(c)            Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 15.6, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.

(d)            Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 15.6 and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Borrower, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 15.9            Participations; Pledge. (a)  At any time and from time to time, each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Servicer (or the Equityholder if the Servicer is not an Affiliate thereof), grant participations in all or a portion of its Note and/or its interest in the Advances and other payments due to it under this Agreement to any Person (other than prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”); provided that, no transfer or assignment may be made to the Servicer, the Equityholder or an Affiliate thereof without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) any such participation will not alter or affect such Xxxxxx’s direct obligations hereunder, and (B) none of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent nor the Servicer shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3 and Section 5.1 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.3(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.3(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 this Article XV; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 17.16 as if it were an assignee under this Article XV; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Applicable Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 17.16(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 17.1 as though it were a Lender.

(c)            Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(a)  If for any reason (other than the exclusions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1) the indemnification provided above in Section 16.1 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

Section 16.5            Legal Proceedings.

Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party, upon mutual agreement with the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party and, in such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party related to such separate counsel thereafter; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party.

The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of any such Action. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of the Action or the Indemnified Party withholds its agreement with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnified Party and its counsel shall, as requested by the Indemnifying Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense; provided further that the Indemnified Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided further that if the Indemnifying Party does not consent to the proposed settlement of such Action or does not respond to a request for consent to such proposed settlement within thirty (30) days after receiving notice thereof, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle such Action unless the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Action pursuant to this Section 16.5.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge that the obligations of any Conduit Lender arising hereunder are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the unsecured assets of such Conduit Lender (the “Available Funds”) and, following the application of such Available Funds or the proceeds thereof, any claims of the parties hereto (and the obligations of such Conduit Lender) shall be extinguished.

(a)  Each Loan Party, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and any Reporting Agent shall hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the identity of any Lender or the terms of any fees payable in connection with this Agreement except they may disclose such information (i) to their officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors, prospective lenders, equity investors or representatives, (ii) with the consent of such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through such Person, or (iv) to the extent each Loan Party, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent or any Reporting Agent or any Affiliate of any of them should be required by any law or regulation applicable to it (including securities laws) or requested by any Official Body to disclose such information.

-158-

(b)            The Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, each Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees that any information about any Loan Party, the Servicer, the Equityholder or their respective Affiliates and their respective businesses, or the Obligors, the Collateral Obligations, the Related Security, the terms and substance of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and any term sheet or other information otherwise obtained by any such party in connection with the structuring, negotiation and execution of the transactions contemplated herein (“Information”) shall be held in confidence except that the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or such Lender may disclose such information (i) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors or representatives (collectively, “Related Parties”); provided that, each such Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the Servicer, the Equityholder and each Loan Party (A) to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and the terms hereof) and all Information (without limitation), and (B) that such information shall be used solely in connection with such Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, each Loan Party and its Affiliates, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or such Lender, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Facility Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder, (iv) with the prior written consent of the Servicer, or (v) to the extent the Facility Agent or such Lender should be (A) required by law, subpoena or similar legal process to disclose such information in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Official Body to disclose such information, it being understood, in each case of clause (A) and (B), that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information; provided that, in the case of clause (v) above, (1) the Facility Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Servicer of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure, (2) any such disclosure shall be limited to the portion of the Information as may be required by law, subpoena or similar legal process or by the Official Body and (3) if permitted under Applicable Law, if requested by the Servicer, shall (at the Servicer’s expense) cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a protective order or other measures reasonably determined by the Servicer seeking to resist or limit such disclosure of Information. Prior to the disclosure of any information thereto, any prospective Lender or participant shall be required to execute a non-disclosure agreement with the Borrower, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 17.14(c) below, no IC Memos (or any portion thereof or extract therefrom) shall be shared with any Lender or any other Person by the Facility Agent.

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 17.14 or otherwise herein shall prohibit any Person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any information within the scope of this confidentiality provision or otherwise purported to be restricted hereunder to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization (any such entity, a “Regulatory Authority”) to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such Regulatory Authority.

(d)            Each of the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information will include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) without limitation of any of the foregoing, it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations.

-159-

(e)            No Lender shall, without first obtaining the Borrower’s express written consent: (x) use or permit the use of any Information for any purpose whatsoever except for the specific purposes of performing under this Agreement; (y) disclose or permit the disclosure of any Information to any Person other than as specified above; or (z) disclose any Information to any other client (except to the extent permitted above) or any other Affiliate of such Lender.

(f)            The Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender acknowledges that improper disclosure of Information may irreparably harm the Borrower. Because money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement, the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief on an emergency, temporary, preliminary and/or permanent basis, as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, without first being required to post any security or bond. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other legal, equitable or contractual remedies that the Borrower may have.

(g)            The provisions of this Section 17.14 shall survive until the five year anniversary of the termination hereof in respect of the Facility Agent, each Lender, each Participant and/or each of their respective directors, officers and employees, for so long as such Person retains any Information during such period.

Section 17.16            Replacement of Lenders.

(a)            If any Lender (i) requests compensation under Section 5.1, or (ii) requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Obligations or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, 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 and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-160-

(b)            At any time there is more than one Lender, the Borrower shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, to replace any Lender or require any Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 15.4), 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), except (i) the Facility Agent or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Facility Agent or an Affiliate of the Facility Agent, that (a) requests reimbursement, payment or compensation for any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1 or (b) has received a written notice from the Borrower of an impending change in law that would entitle such Lender to payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, unless such Lender designates a different lending office before such change in law becomes effective pursuant to Section 17.16(a) and such alternate lending office obviates the need for the Borrower to make payments of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1 or (c) has not consented without undue delay to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver, each pursuant to Section 17.2 or (d) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (e) does not consent to any amendment or modification (including in the form of a consent or waiver) described in Section 17.2 which is approved by the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Required Lenders or (f) does not consent to a request to extend the date set forth in the definition of “Facility Termination Date”; provided that, (i) nothing herein shall relieve a Lender from any liability it might have to the Borrower or to the other Lenders for its failure to make any Advance, (ii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iii) during the Revolving Period, the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent, (iv) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) for Increased Costs or Indemnified Taxes, as the case may be, (v) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Facility Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, (vi) if such replacement is being effected as a result of a Lender requesting compensation pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, such replacement, if effected, will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment thereafter and (vii) if such replacement is being effected in accordance with clauses (a), (c), or (d) of this Section 17.16(b), the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repay on a non-pro rata basis the outstanding Advances of such Lender; provided that, with respect to this clause (vii), any such non-pro rata payment (1) will be subject to DBNY’s, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, consent in its sole discretion and (2) may not occur so long as an event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in the event of an Unmatured Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender removed or replaced under the provisions hereof shall have any right to receive any amounts set forth in Section 2.5(b) in connection with such removal or replacement. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 17.17            Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City (including any appellate court of any of the foregoing) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, whether in contract, tort or otherwise and whether at law or in equity, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree 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.

-161-

Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Facility Agent (on behalf and at the expense of the requesting Lender) may, at any time, in its sole discretion and at its own cost, obtain a private rating for this loan facility. The Borrower and the Servicer hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts, at the request of the Facility Agent, to cooperate with the acquisition and maintenance of any such rating so long as such acquisition and maintenance of any such rating does not impose any additional covenants or requirements on the Borrower, the Servicer or the Collateral that make this facility more restrictive.

Section 17.19            Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(iii)            the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 17.20            Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

-162-

(b)            In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)            In connection with (and as part of) each Monthly Report, with respect to the Collateral Obligation Files delivered at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the related Reporting Date, the Collateral Custodian shall prepare a report (to be included as a part of each Monthly Report) in respect of each of the Collateral Obligations, to the effect that, as to each Collateral Obligation listed on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the related Advance Request or Reinvestment Request, based on the Collateral Custodian’s review of the Collateral Obligation File for each Collateral Obligation and the related Document Checklist, except for variances from the documents identified in the Document Checklist with respect to the related Collateral Obligation Files, (i) all documents required to be delivered in respect of such Collateral Obligations pursuant to the Document Checklist have been delivered and are in the possession of the Collateral Custodian as part of the Collateral Obligation File for such Collateral Obligation (other than those released pursuant to Section 18.5), and (ii) all such documents have been reviewed by the Collateral Custodian and appear on their face to be regular and to relate to such Collateral Obligation. The Collateral Custodian shall also maintain records of the total number of Collateral Obligation Files that do not have the documents provided on the Document Checklist and will include such total in each Monthly Report.

(c)            Notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, the Collateral Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify, (i) the validity, legality, ownership, title, perfection, priority, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Collateral Obligation File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Collateral Obligation. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the sole purpose of the Collateral Custodian’s review of Collateral Obligation Files for a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Section 18.4 is to confirm receipt of certain Collateral Obligation Files by confirming certain information contained in the Collateral Obligation Files as set forth herein. The Collateral Custodian’s review of the Collateral Obligation Files and its delivery of any information in the Monthly Report with respect thereto shall not be deemed to constitute “due diligence services” or a “third party due diligence report” as such terms are defined in Rules 17g-10 and 15Ga-2, respectively, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any recipient of the Monthly Report or a copy thereof by its receipt thereof is deemed to agree, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees, that it shall not share such report, directly or indirectly, with any rating agency.

Section 18.5            Release of Collateral Obligation Files. (a)  Upon satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 12.4, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to provide an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), on which the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely, and shall request in writing delivery to it of the Collateral Obligation File and a copy thereof shall be sent concurrently by the Servicer to the Facility Agent. Upon receipt of such certification and request, unless it receives written notice to the contrary from the Facility Agent prior to the Collateral Custodian’s release of such Collateral Obligations Files, the Collateral Custodian shall within three days release the related Collateral Obligation File to the Servicer and the Servicer will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian.

-166-

(b)            From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any of the Collateral Obligations, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral Obligations, the Collateral Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release and Receipt substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 from an authorized representative of the Servicer (as listed on Exhibit F-1, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Servicer with notice to the Collateral Custodian and the Facility Agent), release the related Collateral Obligation File or the documents set forth in such Request for Release and Receipt to the Servicer. In the event an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Servicer Default or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall not make any such request with respect to any original documents unless the Facility Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). The Borrower shall cause the Servicer to return each and every original document previously requested from the Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian when (x) the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists or (y) the Collateral Obligation File or such 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 of the Related Security either judicially or non-judicially, the Servicer shall deliver to the Collateral Custodian a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Collateral Obligation File or such document was delivered and the purposes or purpose of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3, with a copy to the Facility Agent, stating that such Collateral Obligation was either (x) liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited have been so deposited, or (y) sold pursuant to an Optional Sale in accordance with Section 9.34, the Collateral Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days of (or such longer period as reasonably requested by the Collateral Custodian given the number of Collateral Obligation Files to be released) receipt of the Request for Release and Receipt, release the requested Collateral Obligation File, and the Servicer will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, request any documents (other than copies thereof) held by the Collateral Custodian if the sum of the unpaid Principal Balances of all Collateral Obligations for which the Servicer is then in possession of the related Collateral Obligation File or any document comprising such Collateral Obligation File (other than for Collateral Obligations then held by the Servicer which have been sold, repurchased, paid off or liquidated in accordance with this Agreement) (including the documents to be requested) exceeds 5% of the Adjusted Aggregate Eligible Collateral Obligation Balance. The Servicer may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents and all other property included in the Collateral that it may from time to time receive hereunder as custodian for the Secured Parties solely at the will of the Collateral Custodian and the Secured Parties for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Collateral Obligations and such retention and possession shall be in a custodial capacity only. To the extent the Servicer, as bailee of the Collateral Custodian and the Loan Parties, holds any Collateral, the Servicer shall do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard as such standard applies to servicers acting as custodial agent. Each party hereto agrees that the Collateral Custodian shall have no liability for any duties requiring the possession of all such Collateral held by the Servicer in accordance with this section and shall have no duty or obligation to determine or monitor on an independent basis the Servicer’s compliance with this section. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Collateral Custodian and the Facility Agent the loss by it of all or part of any Collateral Obligation File previously provided to it by the Collateral Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such loss. The Servicer shall hold (in accordance with Section 9-313(C) of the UCC) all documents comprising the Collateral Obligation Files in its possession as bailee of the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian. In such custodial capacity, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers and duties:

(i)            hold the Collateral Obligation Files and any document comprising a Collateral Obligation File that it may from time to time have in its possession for the benefit of the Collateral Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, maintain accurate records pertaining to each Collateral Obligation to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and maintain a current inventory thereof;

-167-

(ii)            implement policies and procedures consistent with the Servicing Standard and requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity and physical possession of such Collateral Obligation Files will be maintained; and

(iii)            take all other actions, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in connection with maintaining custody of such Collateral Obligation Files on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian.

Acting as custodian of the Collateral Obligation Files pursuant to this Section 18.5, the Servicer agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Collateral Obligations or the Collateral Obligation Files.

Section 18.6            Examination of Collateral Obligation Files. Upon reasonable prior notice to the Collateral Custodian, the Loan Parties, the Servicer and their agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors (at the Borrower’s expense) will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Collateral Obligation Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Collateral Custodian relating to any or all of the Collateral Obligations. Prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Servicer Default or a Servicer Default, upon the request of the Facility Agent and at the cost and expense of the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly provide the Facility Agent with the Collateral Obligation Files or copies, as designated by the Facility Agent, subject to the cap on costs and expenses and other terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.9(d); provided that, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to provide such copies if it does not receive adequate assurance of payment.

Section 18.7            Lost Note Affidavit. In the event that the Collateral Custodian fails to produce any original promissory note delivered to it related to a Collateral Obligation that was in its possession pursuant to Section 10.20 within five (5) Business Days after required or requested by the Facility Agent and provided that (a) the Collateral Custodian previously certified in writing to the Facility Agent that it had received such original promissory note and (b) such original promissory note is not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, then the Collateral Custodian shall with respect to any missing original promissory note, promptly deliver to the Facility Agent upon request a lost note affidavit.

Section 18.8            Transmission of Collateral Obligation Files. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Collateral Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Collateral Obligation Files in the performance of the Collateral Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Facility Agent or the Servicer to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Collateral Obligation Files hereunder. In the event the Collateral Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Facility Agent or the Servicer (as applicable), the Collateral Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally recognized courier service. The Servicer shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Collateral Custodian’s option, reimburse the Collateral Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral Obligation Files as the Servicer deems appropriate.

Section 18.9            Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Collateral Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Collateral Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

-168-

As compensation for its Collateral Custodian activities hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to its fees and expenses from the Borrower as set forth in the Collateral Agent and Collateral Custodian Fee Letter and any other accrued and unpaid fees, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) and indemnity amounts payable by the Borrower, any Securitization Subsidiary or the Servicer, or both but without duplication, to the Collateral Custodian (including Indemnified Amounts under Article XVI) under the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Collateral Custodian Fees and Expenses”).

Section 18.11            Removal or Resignation of Collateral Custodian. (a)  The Collateral Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; provided that, no resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed which successor Collateral Custodian, so long as no Unmatured Servicer Default, Servicer Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Collateral Custodian’s resignation, the Facility Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Servicer, the resigning Collateral Custodian and to the successor Collateral Custodian.

Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Custodian; provided that, so long as no Event of Default or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, any successor Collateral Custodian so appointed by the Facility Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian and the successor Collateral Custodian, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer. In the event no successor Collateral Custodian shall have been appointed within sixty (60) days after the giving of notice of such removal, the Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Custodian.

(c)            In the event of any such resignation or removal, the Collateral Custodian shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of the successor Collateral Custodian, transfer to the successor Collateral Custodian, as directed in writing by the Facility Agent, all the Collateral Obligation Files being administered under this Agreement.

(a)  The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Facility Agent or (b) the verbal instructions of the Facility Agent.

(b)            The Collateral Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(c)            The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties and in the case of the grossly negligent performance of its duties in taking and retaining custody of the Collateral Obligation Files.

(d)            The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, due authorization, genuineness, perfections, priority, ownership, title, recordability or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. The Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibility or duty with respect to any Collateral Obligation File while not in its possession, including at any time such Collateral Obligation File has been released pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt, or is otherwise in transit, with a courier, to or from the Collateral Custodian, including, without limitation, in connection with the transmission of Collateral Obligation Files pursuant to Section 18.8, or prior to the delivery of a Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 18.3; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall act in good faith with respect to ensuring it receives any Collateral Obligation Files that are in transit and for which the Collateral Custodian has received tracking information.

(e)            The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and no covenants or obligations shall be read into or implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian. In the event of any conflict arising between the provisions of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the Collateral Custodian is a party with respect to the duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Custodian, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. No provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Collateral Custodian to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Collateral Custodian shall be unqualified or incompetent due to a change in Applicable Law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation, or as a result of which the Collateral Custodian shall become subject to taxation.

(f)            None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action (including any laws, ordinances, regulations) or the like that delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services by the Collateral Custodian as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, the Collateral Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to mitigate the effects of such circumstances and to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.

(g)            It is expressly agreed and acknowledged by each party hereto that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.

(h)            In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Facility Termination Date, request instructions from the Servicer and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Facility Termination Date, request instructions from the Facility Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the Facility Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Facility Agent. In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i)            Each of the protections, benefits, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Section 11.3, Section 11.7, Section 11.8, Section 11.11 and Section 11.12 shall be afforded to, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Custodian.

Section 18.13            Collateral Custodian as Agent of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Collateral Obligation File at any time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Collateral Custodian shall be the agent and custodian of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC. For so long as the Collateral Custodian is the same entity as the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to the same rights and protections afforded to the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Section 18.14            Electronic Methods. The Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to treat a pdf or e-mail communication or communication by other similar electronic means in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (“Electronic Methods”) from a person purporting to be (and whom the Collateral Custodian, acting reasonably, believes in good faith to be) the authorized representative of the Facility Agent, the Servicer or the Loan Parties, as sufficient instructions and authority of the Facility Agent, the Servicer or the Loan Parties for the Collateral Custodian to act and shall have no duty to verify or confirm that such person is so authorized. The Collateral Custodian shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by it as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions or directions. Each of the Facility Agent, the Servicer and the Loan Parties agree:

(a)            to assume all risks arising out of the use of such Electronic Methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Custodian, including without limitation the risk of the Collateral Custodian acting on unauthorized instructions (which the Collateral Custodian reasonably believed in good faith to be authorized instructions from the proper party), and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties;

(b)            that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting instructions to the Collateral Custodian and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions than the method(s) selected by the Facility Agent, the Servicer or the Loan Parties; and

(c)            that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.
