Section 2.01        Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrower in each Eligible Currency from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment.  Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.03, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.  Loans may be Base Rate Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

Section 2.02       Borrowings and Conversions of Loans.  (a)  Each Borrowing and each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Administrator, which may be given in writing, including via email; provided that, any such notice which is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions may be revoked or delayed by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such Loan was scheduled to be funded) if such other transactions fail to become effective (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be liable for any amounts required under Section 3.05 or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such revocation or delay).  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator not later than 12:00 noon (x) in the case of Daily SOFR Loans, on the Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, or conversion to Daily SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Daily SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (y) in the case of Alternative Currency Loans, three Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, any continuation and (z) on the Business Day requested for any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each written notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Daily SOFR Loans and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans shall be in a principal amount of the lesser of (x)(i) in the case of USD-denominated Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (ii) in the case of EUR-denominated Loans, €400,000 or a whole multiple of €100,000 in excess thereof, (iii) in the case of GBP-denominated Loans, £350,000 or a whole multiple of £75,000 in excess thereof, (iv) in the case of CAD-denominated Loans, CAD625,000 or a whole multiple of CAD125,000 in excess thereof, (v) in the case of AUD-denominated Loans, AUD650,000 or a whole multiple of AUD130,000 in excess thereof, (vi) in the case of DKK-denominated Loans, DKK3,000,000 or a whole multiple of DKK600,000 in excess thereof, (vii) in the case of NOK-denominated Loans, NOK4,000,000 or a whole multiple of NOK775,000 in excess thereof, (viii) in the case of SEK-denominated Loans, SEK4,000,000 or a whole multiple of SEK850,000 in excess thereof or (ix) in the case of NZD-denominated Loans, NZD650,000 or a whole multiple of NZD130,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of any Loan denominated in an Eligible Currency other than USD, such lesser amount such that no Alternate Currency Par Balance Shortfall exists or would result therefrom) or (y) in the amount of the unused portion of the Commitments.  Each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or in the amount of the unused portion of the Commitments (or, in the case of any Borrowing to be applied to fund any draw under a Revolving Asset or Delayed Draw Asset, such other amount as may be required to fund such draw).  Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing or a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or conversion, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or converted, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) the requested Eligible Currency in which such Loan is to be made and (vi) with respect to any Revolving Asset or Delayed Draw Asset, the amount to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with the acquisition of any Collateral Asset(s) pursuant to Section 2.15.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, as applicable (in the case of any Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) or Daily SOFR Loans (in the case of any Loans denominated in Dollars), as applicable.

-55-

(b)         Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans.  In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c)         Except as otherwise provided herein, an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith.  During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to Daily SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or converted to or continued as Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, as applicable, without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d)          [Reserved].

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) on the last day of the Availability Period, if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request a Borrowing to be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account in the amount of the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Loan Amount and (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request a Loan to be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account in the amount of such shortfall (the “Exposure Amount Shortfall”).  Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans and the Lenders shall fund such Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Loan Amount or Exposure Amount Shortfall, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02), except that no Lender shall make any Loan to the extent that, after giving effect to such Loan, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Borrowing Base.

-56-

Section 2.03        Prepayments.  (a)  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (x) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Daily SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars, (y) two Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of any Alternative Currency Loans and (z) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Daily SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 in excess thereof (other than any such prepayment which is funded solely with proceeds from the repayment of a Revolving Asset) and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (other than any such prepayment which is funded solely with proceeds from the repayment of a Revolving Asset) or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Subject to Section 2.12, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any such notice not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such prepayment was scheduled to take place if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Loans, which refinancing will not be consummated or will otherwise be delayed.

(b)          If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that:

(i)         a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time, then the Borrower shall (i) give notice to the Administrative Agent and Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator) of its intent to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the delivery of notice via electronic mail or facsimile to the Borrower of the Borrowing Base Deficiency (unless Borrower has actually cured such Borrowing Base Deficiency by such time) and (ii) either (A) cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the delivery of such notice by repaying outstanding Loans, selling Collateral Assets and depositing the proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account or Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable, or transferring additional Eligible Collateral Assets, Cash or Cash Equivalents to the Collection Account so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency Amount will be reduced to zero or (B)(I) deliver to the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day following the delivery of such notice a written report showing a projected cure of any Borrowing Base Deficiency based on (x) actions described in clause (A), if any, (y) delivery of an Equity Cure Notice, and (z) pending purchases and sales of Collateral Assets, which report shall (1) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (2) give effect to all committed purchases of Collateral Assets and other financial assets by the Borrower and account in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for any change in the market value of any such Collateral Asset and (3) give effect to sales of Collateral Assets (including sales committed to on the date of such report) only if such sales are to Approved Dealers and Borrower reasonably expects such sales to be settled within 30 days of the Borrower’s commitment to such sale and (II) cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency by such date as specified in such report and agreed to by the Administrative Agent; or

-57-

(ii)        if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that an Alternate Currency Par Balance Shortfall exists, the Borrower shall convert Loans in such Eligible Currency to any other Eligible Currency (provided that, after giving effect to such conversion no Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist and the Loans in any such Eligible Currency other than USD would not exceed the applicable Currency Par Balance) in an amount necessary to cause the outstanding amount of the Loans in such Eligible Currency (for the avoidance of doubt, other than USD) to be less than or equal to the applicable Currency Par Balance by notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian by 3:00 p.m. on the third Business Day following the delivery of notice via electronic mail or facsimile to the Borrower of such excess (unless Borrower has actually eliminated such excess by such time), which conversion shall be deemed to be a repayment of the Loans in such Eligible Currency and a Loan in such other Eligible Currency notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02); provided that, if the Borrower fails to provide such notice prior to the deadline specified herein, the Administrative Agent may convert Loans in such Eligible Currency in accordance with this Section 2.03(b)(ii).

(c)        All accrued and unpaid interest, amounts owing under Section 2.06 and, in the case of any Daily SOFR Loan and any Alternative Currency Loan, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05, in respect of any amount of any Loan prepaid hereunder shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Payment Date following the first Determination Date to occur on or after the date of such prepayment.

Section 2.04        Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Commitments.  The Borrower may, at its discretion on any date, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $500,000 (other than any such reduction which is funded solely with proceeds from the repayment of a Revolving Asset) or, if less, the entire Aggregate Commitments and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments.  Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage.  All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any such notice not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such termination was scheduled to take place if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the Commitments, which refinancing will not be consummated or will otherwise be delayed.

-58-

Section 2.05        Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans made to the Borrower outstanding on such date and shall repay Loans as provided in Section 2.04.

Section 2.06         Interest.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each Loan shall bear interest on the Outstanding Amount (in the applicable Eligible Currency) thereof from the applicable Funding Date at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Interest Rate.

(b)        (i)        If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii)        If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the written request of the Required Lenders, such overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws and shall continue to bear interest at such rate until but excluding the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived.

(iii)        Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv)         Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon written demand.

(c)         Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

-59-

Section 2.07         Fees.

(a)          Commitment Fee.  Subject to Section 2.12(a)(iii), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) in Dollars equal to the sum of (i)(A) the actual daily First Unused Amount times (B) the applicable Commitment Fee Rate and (ii)(A) the actual daily Second Unused Amount times (B) the applicable Commitment Fee Rate.  The commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date.  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears and if there is any change in the Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.

(b)        Make-Whole Fee.  Subject to Section 2.12(a)(iii), if the Aggregate Commitments are terminated in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.04 prior to the Make-Whole Date, then Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a fee (a “Make-Whole Fee”) equal to the amount in Dollars of the product of (i) the Aggregate Commitments (or terminated portion thereof) multiplied by (ii) the applicable Make-Whole Percentage.

(c)          Other Fees.

(i)         The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter (“Agent Fees”).  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii)         The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.08       Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Daily SOFR) and for Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  All other computations of fees and interest, including those with respect to Daily SOFR Loans, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day.  Interest shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

-60-

Section 2.09         Evidence of Debt.  The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business in accordance with its usual practice.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the written request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Section 2.10         Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)          General.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in the applicable Eligible Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that this sentence shall not apply to payments made on the Maturity Date without giving effect to the proviso in the definition of such term.

(b)        (i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Daily SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower (so long as the applicable Lender is not Bank of America or an Affiliate thereof) severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, or in the case of Alternative Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

-61-

(ii)         Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.

With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed) (in which case the Rescindable Amount shall be limited solely to the extent of such excess); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)         Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

-62-

(d)         Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(d) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(d) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make any Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(d).

(e)          Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.11        Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

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

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower’s rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

-63-

Section 2.12         Defaulting Lenders.

(a)          Adjustments.  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)        Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 11.01.

(ii)      Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder.  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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)      Certain Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.

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

(iii)         on the related Securitization Take-Out Date, the Borrower shall provide a certificate to the Administrative Agent representing that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Securitization Take-Out, (w) there will be sufficient proceeds in the Collection Account for all payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) and (b) (other than clauses (a)(xii), (b)(v) and (b)(vi) thereof) on the next Payment Date (or on such date, if such Securitization Take-Out Date is a Payment Date), (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) no Borrowing Base Deficiency or Alternate Currency Par Balance Shortfall exists; and

(iv)        on the date of such Securitization Take-Out, all proceeds payable to the Borrower from such Securitization Take-Out (net of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Securitization Take-Out) (x) will be deposited directly into the Collection Account and (y) with respect to any sold Collateral Asset, will be in the same Eligible Currency as such Collateral Asset.

(d)          In connection with any Securitization Take-Out, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the Collateral subject to such Securitization Take-Out to the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary, as the Borrower may reasonably request.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01         Taxes.

(a)        Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) require 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 withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

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

(c)        Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written 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 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-71-

(d)         Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e)         Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)          Status of Lenders.

(i)           Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

-72-

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)       any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Recipient 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 Administrative 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 party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (which for all purposes of this Agreement shall include an IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E where 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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 D-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 Parent within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” 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 W-8BEN-E; or

(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 W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-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 D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

-73-

(C)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative 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 party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(g)         Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Recipient 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 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)         Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 3.02         Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to a Relevant Rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, to make or maintain Daily SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Daily SOFR Loans shall be, in each case, suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Daily SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Daily SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the Borrower’s option either prepay all Daily SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies or, convert all such Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Daily SOFR component of the Base Rate), in each case, immediately, or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans to such day and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Daily SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

-75-

Section 3.03         Inability to Determine Rates; Availability of Term SOFR.  (a) If in connection with any request for a Daily SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Daily SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Eligible Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 3.03(b) and the circumstances under Section 3.03(b)(i) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Eligible Currency for any determination date(s) or Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Daily SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Eligible Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Daily SOFR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Daily SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Daily SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.03(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice, such revocation to occur promptly upon cessation of events giving rise to such conditions described above.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to Daily SOFR Loans, or Borrowing of, or continuation of Alternative Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein (which, in the event that such notice relates to Daily SOFR, will be Base Rate Loans) and (ii)(A) in the event that such notice relates to Daily SOFR, any outstanding Daily SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately and (B) in the event that such notice relates to the Relevant Rate for any Alternative Currency, any outstanding affected Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall at the Borrower’s option either (1) be converted into a Borrowing of Daily SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.

-76-

(b)       Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Borrower (or, with respect to clause (iii), with the consent of the Borrower) (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower (or, with respect to clause (iii), with the consent of the Borrower)) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i)         adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Eligible Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)        the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Eligible Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Eligible Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Eligible Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Eligible Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii)        syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Eligible Currency;

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to the Relevant Rate or any Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Eligible Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Eligible Currency in accordance with this Section 3.03 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Eligible Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Eligible Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

-77-

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator) of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent the Administrative Agent decides in consultation with the Borrower that such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, unless the Borrower has objected thereto within five (5) days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such proposed changes based on its reasonable determination that such changes materially and adversely affect the interests of the Borrower (accompanied by a written explanation of the basis for such determination), in which case the consent of the Borrower to such Conforming Changes shall be required; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator) reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(c)        Term SOFR Availability Amendment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if Daily SOFR is the then-current benchmark for Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, and the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender of such availability, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement (any such amendment, a “Term SOFR Availability Amendment”) to provide for the availability of Dollar-denominated Loans hereunder as Term SOFR Loans in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, including any applicable Conforming Changes. Such amendment shall become effective no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

Section 3.04         Increased Costs.

(a)          Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e), other than as set forth below);

-78-

(ii)         subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)       impose on any Lender (A) solely in the case of Loans in an Eligible Currency with respect to which the Relevant Rate is determined by reference to an interbank market, any applicable interbank market or (B) any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes), in either case affecting this Agreement, Daily SOFR Loans made by such Lender or Alternative Currency Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon the written request of such Lender (such Lender, an “Affected Person”), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amount or amounts shall be no greater than that which such Lender is generally claiming from its other borrowers similarly situated to Borrower, as reasonably evidenced to the Borrower at the time such amount is requested.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; except that if the event giving rise to such request for compensation is retroactive, then such 90 day period will be extended to include the period of the retroactive effect thereof.

(b)        Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon the written request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and the calculation thereof delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error and shall certify as to compliance with subsection (d) below.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

-79-

(d)         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) and provided, further, that such Lender at that time has a general policy of demanding the same type of compensation from similarly situation borrowers.

Section 3.05        Compensation for Losses.  Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)         any conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise, but other than due to the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.13);

(b)          any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower or the Borrower unless such notice is rescinded in accordance with the terms hereof;

(c)         any assignment of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; or

(d)          any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan made by it at the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank eurodollar market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

-80-

Section 3.06         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)          Designation of a Different Lending Office.  Each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially 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.

(b)        Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender (including any Participant pursuant to Section 11.06(d) that makes such request) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a) that would eliminate the amounts payable under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 or eliminate the need for notice pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

Section 3.07       Survival.  All obligations of the Borrower under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(d)          Subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 8.02(d), until a successor Servicer has commenced servicing activities in the place of the current Servicer, the current Servicer shall continue to perform the obligations of the Servicer hereunder unless it is not legally permitted to do so.  On and after the termination of the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.02, the successor servicer appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  The Servicer agrees to cooperate and use reasonable efforts in effecting the transition of the responsibilities and rights of servicing of the Collateral Assets, including the transfer to any successor servicer for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, or thereafter received with respect to the Collateral Assets and the delivery to any successor servicer in an orderly and timely fashion of all files and records in its possession or reasonably obtainable by it with respect to the Collateral Assets containing all information necessary to enable the successor servicer to service the Collateral Assets.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and to the extent permitted by applicable Law without causing the Servicer to have liability, the termination of the Servicer shall not become effective until an entity acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer.

(e)          At any time, any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender may irrevocably waive any rights granted to such party under Section 8.02(a).  Any such waiver shall be in writing and executed by such party that is waiving its rights hereunder.  A copy of such waiver shall be promptly delivered by the waiving party to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.03        Duties of the Servicer.  The Servicer shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Collateral Assets and perform the other actions required by the Servicer in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.

(a)          The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions, as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to attempt to recover Collections from time to time, all in accordance with (i) applicable Law, (ii) the applicable Collateral Asset and its Underlying Instruments, and (iii) the Servicing Standard.  The Borrower hereby appoints the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 8.01, as agent for itself and in its name to enforce and administer its rights and interests in the Collections and the related Collateral Assets.

(b)          The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein.  The Servicer shall deposit all Collections received directly by it on behalf of the Borrower into the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof and, upon receipt of any payments directly by it, shall notify all obligors to remit payments directly to the Collection Account.  The Servicer shall identify all Collections as either Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable.  The Servicer shall make such deposits or payments by electronic funds transfer through the Automated Clearing House system, or by wire transfer.  The Servicer may, at any time, instruct the Securities Intermediary to convert funds on deposit in the Collection Account into any Eligible Currency using the Applicable Exchange Rate if, after giving effect to such exchange, (i) the Borrower is in compliance with the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Borrower will have sufficient amounts in the Eligible Currency being converted to pay all amounts payable (calculated on a pro forma basis) in such Eligible Currency on the immediately following Payment Date or such Payment Date, as applicable.

-109-

(c)         The Servicer shall maintain for the Borrower and the Secured Parties in accordance with their respective interests all Records that evidence or relate to the Collections not previously delivered to the Securities Intermediary and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent, make available, or, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Default, deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of all material Records in its possession which evidence or relate to the Collections.

(d)         The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to the applicable Person any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to each Collateral Asset that does not constitute a Collateral Asset or was paid in connection with a Retained Interest.

(e)          On each Measurement Date, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall re‑determine the status of each Eligible Collateral Asset as of such calculation date and provide notice of any change in the status of any Eligible Collateral Asset to the Collateral Administrator and, as a consequence thereof, Collateral Assets that were previously Eligible Collateral Assets on a prior Measurement Date may be excluded from the Borrowing Base on such Measurement Date.  The Administrative Agent may at any time dispute the determination of whether a Collateral Asset is an Eligible Collateral Asset, any item in the Monthly Report (or component thereof) or the determination as to compliance with any of the Portfolio Criteria by delivering a Collateral Dispute Notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Servicer and the Borrower.  Upon delivery of any Collateral Dispute Notice, the Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent shall promptly consult each other regarding the information or determination so disputed.  The corrected information or determination in such Collateral Dispute Notice shall control (and be used for all calculations and other purposes under the Credit Agreement) until such time as the Borrower, the Servicer, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that such dispute has been resolved or the Administrative Agent withdraws in writing such Collateral Dispute Notice.

(f)        Compliance with Collateral Assets and Servicing Standard.  The Servicer shall, at its expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all material provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under any Collateral Assets (except, in the case of a successor Servicer, such material provisions, covenants and other provisions shall only include those provisions relating to the collection and servicing of the Collateral Assets to the extent such obligations are set forth in a document included in the related Collateral Asset File) and shall comply with the Servicing Standard in all material respects with respect to all Collateral Assets.

(c)        Nothing in this Section 8.09 shall derogate from the obligation of the Borrower 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 8.09.

(d)          The Borrower shall bear the costs and expenses of all audits and inspections permitted by this Section 8.09 as well as Section 12.08, subject to a maximum of $50,000 per annum of such expenses in the aggregate, and any additional audits, inspections or expenses in excess of $50,000 per annum shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable; provided that during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, the Borrower shall be required to bear the expense of all such inspections and audits.

Section 8.12       Servicing of REO Assets; Other Subsidiaries.  (a)  If, in the reasonable business judgment of the Servicer, it becomes necessary to convert any Collateral Asset that is secured by real property into an REO Asset, the Servicer shall first cause the Borrower to transfer and assign such Collateral Asset (or the portion thereof owned by a Loan Party) to a special purpose vehicle (the “REO Subsidiary”) using a contribution agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  All equity interests of the REO Subsidiary acquired by the Borrower shall immediately become a part of the Collateral and be subject to the grant of a security interest pursuant to the Security Agreement and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Custodian, each undated and duly indorsed in blank.  The REO Subsidiary shall be formed and operated pursuant to Organization Documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  After execution thereof, the Servicer shall prevent the REO Subsidiary from agreeing to any amendment or other modification of the REO Subsidiary’s organizational documents which, as determined by the Administrative Agent, would be materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties under this Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The Servicer shall cause each REO Asset to be serviced (i) in accordance with applicable Law, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, (iii) in accordance with the applicable REO Subsidiary’s Organization Documents, and (iv) in accordance with the Servicing Standard (collectively, the “REO Servicing Standard”).  The Servicer will cause all “Distributable Cash” (or comparable definition set forth in the REO Subsidiary’s Organization Documents) to be deposited into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

-119-

(b)         In the event that title to any Related Property is acquired on behalf of the REO Subsidiary for the benefit of its members in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a REO Subsidiary.  The Servicer shall cause the REO Subsidiary to manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Asset for its members solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

(c)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not (and shall not permit the REO Subsidiary to) obtain title to any Related Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of Related Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Related Property if, as a result of any such action, the REO Subsidiary would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee‑in‑possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Related Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable and applicable state or local environmental law, unless the Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the REO Servicing Standard, based on an updated Phase I environmental assessment report generally prepared in accordance with the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527‑13, as may be amended or, with respect to residential property, a property inspection and title report:

(i)          such Related Property is in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws; and

(ii)         that there are no Recognized Environmental Conditions, including controlled RECs, collectively “RECS” (as defined by the ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard E 1527‑13) present at such Related Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean‑up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner, occupier or operator of the Related Property under applicable federal, state or local law or regulation, other than such RECs subject to a reasonable mitigant (including, without limitation, an environmental insurance policy or an acceptable third-party indemnity) and except where the expected benefits of taking title to or ownership or possession of such Related Property outweigh the expected cost of such potential investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation.

(d)         In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Servicer with respect to Related Property indicates that such Related Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws in all material respects or that hazardous materials may be present for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean‑up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner, occupier or operator of the Related Property, but does not definitively establish such fact, the Servicer shall cause the Borrower to promptly sell the related Loan in accordance with Section 8.10 to the extent permitted thereunder, unless such potential non-compliance or potential hazardous materials are subject to a reasonable mitigant (including, without limitation, an environmental insurance policy or an acceptable third-party indemnity) and except where the expected benefits of retaining the Loan outweigh the expected cost of such potential investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation.

-120-

(e)         On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall (a) cause each Permitted Subsidiary to become a guarantor of the Obligations and to grant a security interest in any Collateral Assets owned by such Permitted Subsidiary by executing and delivering a Guaranty and Security Agreement or a Guaranty, as applicable, and (b) execute and deliver each Permitted Subsidiary Security Agreement and each HPS Partnership Pledge Agreement, as applicable.  Upon the Borrower’s and each Permitted Subsidiary’s compliance with the foregoing provisions, as applicable, and the receipt of a copy of an Approval Notice with respect to the Collateral Assets owned by such Permitted Subsidiary from the Administrative Agent, such Collateral Asset (a “Qualifying Asset”) shall be deemed to be an Eligible Collateral Asset for all purposes under this Agreement and shall be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 10.01      Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as third party beneficiary of any such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 10.02       Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

-124-

Section 10.03      Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)         shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents or those rights and powers that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c)         shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02).  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

-125-

Section 10.04      Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other independent experts selected by it with due care, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.05      Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any non-Affiliated sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 10.06      Resignation of Administrative Agent.  (a)  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, if no Event of Default exists or is continuing upon the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and if an Event of Default exists and is continuing in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which at all times shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

-126-

(b)          If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)        With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(h) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Section 10.07     Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

-127-

Section 10.08      No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 10.09      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

-128-

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase).  In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid and to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 11.01 of this Agreement), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section 10.10      Collateral Matters.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.09, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a)       to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations which are unknown, unmatured and for which no claim has been made), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b)          to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01; and

-129-

(c)         to acknowledge that the Lien of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document does not encumber a Collateral Asset that has been sold by the Borrower for cash consideration if (i) such cash consideration has been delivered into the Collection Account, (ii) the transfer of such Collateral Asset has not been or cannot be completed and (iii) the Borrower has settled such sale as a participation or similar arrangement (including settlement as a participation pending transfer).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 10.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 10.11       Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer under the Loan Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts of their Loans 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 Administrative Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Loan Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith.

Section 10.12     Recovery of Erroneous Payments.  Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Administrator makes a payment hereunder in error to any Secured Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Secured Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Secured Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Secured Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount.  The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall inform each Secured Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Secured Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon written request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)          Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)         Participations.  Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) will be required for sale by any Lender (other than a sale by the initial Lender to any Participant that is not a Competitor) of a participation, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such sale; provided that the Borrower will be deemed to have consented to any such sale unless it objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after notice thereof, and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(d) without regard to the existence of any participation.

-141-

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.04 and 3.01 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06(b) and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.06 or 3.01, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06(b) and 11.13 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)          Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)         Status as Approved Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be an Approved Lender.  Accordingly:

(i)          each Lender represents to the Borrower, (A) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Assumption) and (B) on each date on which it makes a Loan hereunder, that it is an Approved Lender;

-142-

(ii)         each Lender agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person unless such Person is an Approved Lender; and

(iii)       the Borrower agrees that, to the extent it has the right to consent to any assignment or participation herein, it shall not consent to such assignment or participation hereunder unless it reasonably believes that the assignee or participant is an Approved Lender at the time of such assignment or participation and that such assignment or participation will not cause the Borrower or the pool of Collateral to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Section 11.07       Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, and the applicable Lender or Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any breach by any such Affiliate or Related Party of the confidentiality provisions contained herein), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process with prior written notice to the Borrower, (d) to any other party hereto pursuant to a notice provided for hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (e) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 11.01 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any of the Borrower and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, the Servicer or any of their respective representatives or agents.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.  “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or is identified at the time of delivery as nonconfidential.

-143-

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 11.08       Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Secured Party or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Secured Party or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Secured Party different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Secured Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Secured Party or its Affiliates may have.  Each Secured Party agrees to notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 11.09       Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

-144-

Section 11.10      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the final and entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement may be executed and delivered by electronic signatures and that the signatures appearing on this Agreement are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility.

Section 11.11      Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations which are unknown, unmatured and for which no claim has been made) hereunder shall remain unpaid.

Section 11.12       Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.13      Replacement of Lenders.  If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

-145-

(a)       the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) to the extent required by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.06(b);

(b)         such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05, other than in the case of any Defaulting Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)         in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)          such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment 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 11.14        Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a written request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

Section 11.19        [Reserved].

Section 11.20       Non-Recourse Obligations; No Petition.  (a)  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and, following realization of the Collateral, any claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and all obligations of the Borrower shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.  It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20(a) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until the Collateral has been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.20(a) shall not limit or prejudice the rights of the Lenders in respect of any obligation of any Affiliate of the Borrower under any Loan Document or otherwise or the rights of the Lenders in respect of any fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Person.

(b)         Each of the parties hereto (other than the Borrower) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period and one day) after the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations which are unknown, unmatured and for which no claim has been made), no party hereto shall institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law.

-149-

(c)          The provisions of this Section 11.20 are a material inducement for the Secured Parties to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and are an essential term hereof.  The parties hereby agree that monetary damages are not adequate for a breach of the provisions of this Section 11.20 and the Administrative Agent may seek and obtain specific performance of such provisions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, insolvency, moratorium, examinership, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States federal or state bankruptcy laws, or any similar laws.

The provisions of this Section 11.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.21       Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.22      Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 11.23       Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  (a)  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract 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 the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Administrator’s good faith, reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Administrator, including, without limitation the risk of the Collateral Administrator acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties and acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secured methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

-162-

(c)         With respect to any documents comprising the Collateral Asset File that have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Borrower or the Servicer in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, the Borrower or the Servicer shall indicate such on a supplement to the Collateral Asset Schedule and deliver to the Collateral Custodian a true copy thereof.  The Borrower or the Servicer shall deliver such original documents to the Collateral Custodian promptly when they are received.

Section 13.04      Collateral Asset File Certification.  (a)  On or prior to each Funding Date, the Servicer shall provide an updated Collateral Asset Schedule and related Document Checklist dated as of such Funding Date to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent in Microsoft Excel format (or other format reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Custodian) with respect to the Collateral Assets to be delivered to the Collateral Custodian in connection with such Funding Date.

(b)          Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Collateral Asset Files, the Collateral Custodian shall prepare a report (substantially in the form of Exhibit N) in respect of each of the Collateral Assets, to the effect that, as to each Collateral Asset listed on the supplement to the Collateral Assets attached to the related Reinvestment Request, based on the Collateral Custodian’s examination of the Collateral Asset File for each Collateral Asset and the related Document Checklist, except for variances from the documents identified in the Document Checklist with respect to the related Collateral Asset Files, (i) all documents required to be delivered in respect of such Collateral Assets pursuant to the Document Checklist have been delivered and are in the possession of the Collateral Custodian as part of the Collateral Asset File for such Collateral Asset (other than those released pursuant to Section 13.05), 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 Asset.  The Collateral Custodian shall also maintain records of the total number of Collateral Asset Files that do not have the documents provided on the Document Checklist and will forward such total to the Collateral Administrator for inclusion in each Monthly Report.

-163-

(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 Asset File or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Collateral Asset.

Section 13.05       Release of Collateral Asset Files.  (a)  Upon satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 of the Security Agreement, the Servicer will provide a certificate of a Responsible Officer to such effect to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall deliver to the Collateral Custodian a Request for Release and Receipt (substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2) of the Collateral Asset File and a copy thereof shall be sent concurrently by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent.  Upon receipt of such certification and request, unless it receives notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall within three days release the related Collateral Asset File to the Servicer and the Servicer will not be required to return the related Collateral Asset File to the Collateral Custodian.

(b)        From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any of the Collateral Assets, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral Assets, 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 Administrative Agent), release the related Collateral Asset File or the documents set forth in such Request for Release and Receipt to the Servicer.  In the event that an Event of 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 Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request).  The Servicer shall return each and every original document previously requested from the Collateral Asset File to the Collateral Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Collateral Asset 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 Asset File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.  Upon receipt of a certificate of the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit F‑3, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, stating that such Collateral Asset 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 a Securitization Take-Out in accordance with Section 2.16 or an Optional Sale in accordance with Section 8.10, the Collateral Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days (provided, that the Collateral Custodian has received such request by 12:00 p.m.) of receipt of the Request for Release and Receipt, release the requested Collateral Asset File, and the Servicer will not be required to return the related Collateral Asset File to the Collateral Custodian.

-164-

(c)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), request any documents (other than copies thereof) held by the Collateral Custodian if the sum of the unpaid Adjusted Balances of all Collateral Assets for which the Servicer is then in possession of the related Collateral Asset File or any document comprising such Collateral Asset File (other than for Collateral Assets 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 10% of the Aggregate Adjusted 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 Assets and such retention and possession shall be in a custodial capacity only.  To the extent the Servicer, as agent of the Collateral Custodian and the Borrower, holds any Collateral, the Servicer shall do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard as such standard applies to servicers acting as custodial agent.  The Servicer shall promptly report to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent the loss by it of all or part of any Collateral Asset 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 Asset Files in its possession as agent of the Administrative Agent.  In such custodial capacity, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers and duties:

(i)           hold the Collateral Asset Files and any document comprising a Collateral Asset 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 Asset to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and maintain a current inventory thereof;

(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 Asset Files will be maintained; and

-165-

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

Acting as custodian of the Collateral Asset Files pursuant to this Section 13.05, the Servicer agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Collateral Assets or the Collateral Asset Files.

Section 13.06    Examination of Collateral Asset Files.  Upon reasonable prior notice to the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower, the Servicer and their agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Collateral Asset 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 Assets.  Prior to the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Servicer Default or a Servicer Default, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and at the cost and expense of the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with the Collateral Asset Files or copies, as designated by the Administrative Agent, subject to the cap on costs and expenses and other terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.09(d); provided the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to provide such copies if it does not receive adequate assurance of payment.

Section 13.07      Lost Note Affidavit.  In the event that the Collateral Custodian fails to produce any original promissory note delivered to it related to a Collateral Asset that was in its possession pursuant to Section 6.25 within five (5) Business Days after required or requested by the Administrative Agent and provided that (a) the Collateral Custodian previously certified in writing to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent upon request a lost note affidavit.

Section 13.08      Transmission of Collateral Asset 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 Asset Files in the performance of the Collateral Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Servicer to the Collateral Custodian prior to any shipment of any Collateral Asset Files hereunder.  In the event the Collateral Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Administrative 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 the Borrower’s 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 Asset Files as the Servicer deems appropriate.

Section 13.09      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 all or substantially all of the document custody business of the Collateral Custodian, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

-166-

Section 13.10       Collateral Custodian Compensation.  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 Administrator and Collateral Custodian Fee Letter and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket accrued and unpaid fees, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) and indemnity amounts payable by the Borrower or the Servicer, or both but without duplication, to the Collateral Custodian (including Indemnified Amounts under Section 11.04) under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Collateral Custodian Fees and Expenses”).  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Collateral Custodian in accordance with Section 11.04 for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Custodian in accordance with any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in the enforcement of any provision hereof or in the other Loan Documents.  The Collateral Custodian’s entitlement to receive fees (other than any previously accrued and unpaid fees) shall cease on the earlier to occur of:  (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.11 and the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

(b)          The Administrative Agent upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Custodian, may, with the consent of the Servicer (so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in its reasonable discretion, remove and discharge the Collateral Custodian or any successor Collateral Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement for cause.  Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Custodian which successor Collateral Custodian, so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer.  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.

-167-

(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 Administrative Agent, all the Collateral Asset Files being administered under this Agreement.  The cost of the shipment of Collateral Asset Files arising out of the resignation of the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.11(a), or the termination for cause of the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 13.11(b), shall be at the expense of the Collateral Custodian.  Any cost of shipment arising out of the removal or discharge of the Collateral Custodian without cause pursuant to Section 13.11(b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.

Section 13.12     Limitations on Liability.  (a)  The Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram, electronic communication or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed or sent by the proper party or parties.  Any electronically signed document delivered via email from a person purporting to be a Responsible Officer and believed by the Collateral Custodian in good faith to have been received from such Responsible Officer shall be considered signed or executed by such Responsible Officer on behalf of the applicable Person. The Collateral Custodian shall have no duty to inquire into or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature believed by the Collateral Custodian in good faith to have been received from such Responsible Officer and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto. 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 Administrative Agent or (b) the verbal instructions of the Administrative 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 Asset 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, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral.  The Collateral Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action not expressly provided for hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

-168-

(e)          The Collateral Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Custodian.

(f)         The Collateral Custodian shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder.  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.

(g)          It is expressly agreed and acknowledged 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 the Maturity Date or the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Servicer and may, after the occurrence of the Maturity Date or the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the Administrative 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 Administrative 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)          In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Collateral Custodian, reasonably believed by the Collateral Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of a request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that they conform on their face to the form required by such provision.  For avoidance of doubt, Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on certificates of a Responsible Officer delivered by the Servicer.  The Collateral Custodian 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.

(j)         Each of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Administrator under Article XII hereunder shall be afforded to the Collateral Custodian.

Domicile of Obligors.  For purposes of this Annex B, the domicile jurisdiction for any obligor domiciled in a tax haven jurisdiction (Bahamas, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jersey, the Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands, the Xxxxxxxx Islands or any other jurisdiction deemed acceptable by the Servicer) shall be deemed to be the jurisdiction of its headquarters or in which a substantial portion of its operations is located or in which a substantial portion of its revenue or value is derived (each as determined in good faith by the Servicer), in each case either directly or through subsidiaries.  The domicile jurisdiction for any obligor will be determined by the Servicer, subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent to dispute such determination.
