(c) Subject to Section 2.01(d) and Section 2.01(e) and the conditions set forth in Section 2.04(d), the Trust Depositor shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse other than as expressly provided herein and therein, (i) all the right, title and interest of the Trust Depositor in and to the Substitute Loans purchased pursuant to Sections 2.04(a) and (b), and (ii) all other rights and property interests consisting of Loan Assets related to such Substitute Loans (the property in clauses (i) and (ii) above, upon such transfer, becoming part of the “Loan Assets”).

(d) The Originator shall transfer to the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall transfer to the Issuer the Substitute Loans and the other property and rights related thereto described in Section 2.04(b) only upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date (and the delivery of a related Addition Notice by the Trust Depositor shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Trust Depositor and of the Originator that such conditions have been or will be, as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, satisfied):

(i) the Trust Depositor shall have provided the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with a timely Addition Notice complying with the definition thereof contained herein (a copy of which shall be provided to S&P promptly after it is delivered to the Owner Trustee), which Addition Notice shall in any event be no later than ten Business Days prior to the date of addition;

(ii) there shall have occurred, with respect to each such Substitute Loan, a corresponding Substitution Event with respect to one or more Loans then in the Loan Pool;

(iii) the Substitute Loan being conveyed to the Issuer satisfy the Substitute Loan Qualification Conditions (and on the date of such substitution, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate stating that such Loan satisfies each of the Substitute Loan Qualification Conditions); provided, that, notwithstanding that a Substitute Loan shall otherwise satisfy clause (e) of the definition of Substitute Loan Qualification Condition, a Substitute Loan which at the time of delivery of the related Addition Notice has a Xxxxx’x rating lower than “B3” shall not become part of the Loan Pool on the proposed Subsequent Transfer Date;

(iv) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trust Depositor a duly executed written assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit J hereto (the “Subsequent Purchase Agreement”), which shall include a Subsequent List of Loans listing the Substitute Loan;

(v) the Trust Depositor shall have delivered to the Issuer a duly executed written assignment (including an acceptance by the Owner Trustee) in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (the “Subsequent Transfer Agreement”), which shall include a Subsequent List of Loans listing the Substitute Loan;

(vi) the Trust Depositor shall have deposited or caused to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account all Collections received with respect to the Substitute Loan on and after the related Subsequent Cut–Off Date;

(vii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Trust Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03(i), (ii) and (iv), 3.04, and 3.05 applicable to the Substitute Loan (including without limitation that each such Substitute Loan is an Eligible Loan) shall be true and correct as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date; provided, however, that, (A) with respect to the representation and warranty made by the Trust Depositor in Section 3.05(a), such representation and warranty shall only apply to a Loan that is being substituted for a Loan that is not an Eligible Loan and (B) with respect to the representations and warranties made by the Trust Depositor in Sections 3.03(iv) and 3.05, such representations and warranties shall be determined based upon the Outstanding Loan Balances of the Substitute Loan as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date over the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance;

(viii) the Originator shall bear all incidental transactions costs incurred in connection with a substitution effected pursuant to this Agreement and shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Subsequent Transfer Date, indicate in its Computer Records that ownership of the Substitute Loan identified on the Subsequent List of Loans in the Subsequent Transfer Agreement has been sold to the Issuer through the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ix) prior to such substitution the Originator shall provide written notice to each Rating Agency and shall have received written confirmation from Xxxxx’x and S&P (which shall respond to the Originator within 15 Business Days after receiving written notice from the Originator of its intention to substitute a Loan) that the proposed substitution will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of any rating on any outstanding

Class of Offered Notes; provided, however, that any failure by either of Xxxxx’x and S&P to respond to the Originator shall be deemed a non–approval by Xxxxx’x and/or S&P, as applicable. In the case of Fitch, only notice to, not confirmation from, Fitch shall be required in connection with a proposed substitution, provided, however, that Fitch shall be entitled to receive from the Originator financial statements, credit committee papers and such other information relating to such Substitute Loan as is reasonably requested by Fitch in connection with the proposed substitution of a Loan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.04 to the contrary, in connection with any substitution to be effected pursuant to this Section 2.04, the number of Loans being replaced in connection with such substitution must be less than or equal to the number of Substitute Loans added to the Loan Pool.

(f) The Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being substituted.

Section 2.05. Release of Released Amounts.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Issuer has no interest in the Retained Interest and Released Amounts. The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to release to the Issuer from the Loan Assets, and the Issuer hereby agrees to release to the Trust Depositor, an amount equal to the Released Amounts immediately upon identification thereof and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer; provided, that, the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment or other documents, or otherwise confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be requested by the Trust Depositor in writing. Such Released Amounts shall not constitute and shall not be included in the Loan Assets.

(b) Immediately upon the release to the Trust Depositor by the Indenture Trustee of the Released Amounts, the Trust Depositor hereby irrevocably agrees to release to the Originator such Released Amounts, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Trust Depositor; provided, that, the Trust Depositor shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise confirming the foregoing release of any Released Amounts, as may be reasonably requested by the Originator.

Section 2.06. Delivery of Documents in the Loan File; Recording of Assignments of Mortgage.

(a) Subject to the delivery requirements set forth in Section 2.06(b), the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Originator and the Trust Depositor to deliver possession of all the Loan Files to the Indenture Trustee (with copies to be held by the Servicer) on behalf of and for the account of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Originator and the Trust Depositor shall also identify on the List of Loans (including any deemed amendment thereof

associated with any Substitute Loans), whether by attached schedule or marking or other effective identifying designation, all Loans that are or are evidenced by such instruments.

(b) With respect to each Loan in the Loan Pool on or before the related Transfer Date, the Trust Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, to the extent not previously delivered, each of the documents in the Loan File with respect to such Loan, except that (i) the original recorded Mortgage, in those instances where a copy thereof certified by a Responsible Officer of the Originator was delivered to the Indenture Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten Business Days after receipt thereof, and in any event within one year after the related Transfer Date, and (ii) any intervening Assignments of Mortgage, in those instances where copies thereof certified by the Originator were delivered to the Indenture Trustee, will be delivered or caused to be delivered within ten Business Days after the receipt thereof, and in any event, within one year of the related Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.06(b), in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage or the intervening Assignments of the Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage or Assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.

(c) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall not record the Assignments of Mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate offices each Assignment of Mortgage delivered to it. Each such recording shall be at the expense of the Servicer; provided, however, to the extent the Servicer does not pay such expense then the Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.05.

Section 2.07. Optional Purchase by the Servicer of Certain Loans; Limitations on Substitution and Repurchase.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.07(b), the Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any (i) Prepaid Loan, (ii) Charged–Off Loan, (iii) Delinquent Loan, (iv) Loan that has a material covenant default, (v) Loan which has become subject to a Material Modification of the type specified in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, or (vi) Loan that has become subject to a Specified Amendment. In the event of such a purchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account, on the next succeeding Determination Date, an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Loan (or applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such purchase. The Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Loans that are being purchased.

(b) In no event may the initial aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of (i) Prepaid Loans, (ii) Charged–Off Loans, (iii) Delinquent Loans, (iv) Loans that have a material covenant default, and (v) Loans which have become subject to a Material Modification of the type specified in clause (ii) of the definition thereof (without regard to whether such Material

Modification may otherwise constitute a Material Modification of a type specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof), purchased pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or substituted pursuant to Section 2.04, exceed an amount equal to 20% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.

Section 2.08. Certification by Indenture Trustee; Possession of Loan Files.

(a) On or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee shall review the portion of the Loan File required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b) on the applicable Transfer Date and shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–1 on or prior to such Transfer Date. Within two Business Days after the Indenture Trustee receives the portion of the Loan File permitted to be delivered after the applicable Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–1. Within 360 days after each Transfer Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Loan, within 360 days after the assignment thereof), the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Servicer, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and any Noteholder who requests a copy from the Indenture Trustee a final certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L–2 evidencing the completeness of the Loan Files with respect to the Loans being transferred on such Transfer Date.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee during the process of reviewing the Loan Files finds any document constituting a part of a Loan File which is not properly executed, has not been received, is unrelated to a Loan identified in the List of Loans, or does not conform in a material respect to the requirements of the definition of Loan File, or the description thereof as set forth in the List of Loans, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly so notify the Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer. In performing any such review, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Indenture Trustee’s review of the Loan Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in the definition of Loan File have been executed and received and relate to the Loans identified in the List of Loans; provided, however, with respect to the UCC financing statements referenced in clause (a)(iii) of the definition of Required Loan Documents, the Indenture Trustee’s sole responsibility will be to confirm that the Loan File contains UCC financing statements and not to make determinations about the materiality of such UCC financing statements. The Originator agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a Loan File of which it is so notified by the Indenture Trustee. If, however, within 30 days after the Indenture Trustee’s notice to it respecting such material defect the Originator has not remedied the defect and such defect materially and adversely affects the value of the related Loan, such Loan will be treated as an “Ineligible Loan” and the Originator will (i) substitute in lieu of such Loan a Substitute Loan in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.01 or (ii) repurchase such Loan at a purchase price equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount, which purchase price shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account within such 30 day period.

(c) Release of Entire Loan File Upon Substitution or Repurchase. Subject to Section 5.08(a), upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a certification of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer of such substitution or of such purchase and the deposit of the amounts described in

Section 2.07 or Section 2.08(b) in the Principal and Interest Account (which certification shall be in the form of Exhibit M hereto), the Indenture Trustee shall release to the Servicer for release to the Originator the related Loan File and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall execute, without recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to transfer all right, title and interest in such Loan to the Originator free and clear of any Liens created by the Transaction Documents. All costs of any such transfer shall be borne by the Originator.

(d) Partial Release of Loan File and/or Collateral. Subject to Section 5.08(b), if in connection with taking any action in connection with a Loan (including, without limitation, the amendment to documents in the Loan File and/or a revision to Collateral) the Servicer requires any item constituting part of the Loan File, or the release from the Lien of the related Loan of all or part of any Collateral, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to such effect in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto. Subject to Section 5.08(d), upon receipt of such certification, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer within two 2 Business Days of such request (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m., central time), the requested documentation, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute, without recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer necessary to release all or the requested part of the Collateral from the Lien of the related Loan and/or the Lien under the Transaction Documents.

(e) Annual Certification. On the Remittance Date in April of each year, commencing April 20, 2006, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Originator, the Trust Depositor, each Hedge Counterparty and the Servicer a certification detailing all transactions with respect to the Loans for which the Indenture Trustee holds the Loan Files pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year. Such certification shall list all Loan Files which were released by or returned to the Indenture Trustee during the prior calendar year, the date of such release or return and the reason for such release or return.

ARTICLE 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Trust Depositor makes, and upon execution of each Subsequent Purchase Agreement is deemed to make, the following representations and warranties in Section 3.01 through Section 3.05, on which the Issuer will rely in purchasing the Loan Assets on the Closing Date (and on any Subsequent Transfer Date), and on which the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties will rely.

Such representations and warranties are given as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable), but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Loan Assets to the Issuer. The repurchase obligation or substitution obligation of the Trust Depositor set forth in Section 11.01 constitutes the sole remedy available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the Trust Depositor set forth in Section 3.01 through Section 3.05 of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(d)(vii), the Trust Depositor shall not be deemed to be remaking any of the representations set forth in Section 3.03 on a Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the Substitute Loans, as such representations relate solely to the composition of the Initial Loans conveyed on the Closing Date.

Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Trust Depositor.

By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Trust Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties that:

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Trust Depositor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Trust Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust Depositor or the Issuer.

(b) Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Trust Depositor has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Issuer and cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Issuer to be created. This Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any, shall effect a valid sale, transfer and assignment of or grant a security interest in the Loan Assets from the Trust Depositor to the Issuer, enforceable against the Trust Depositor and creditors of and purchasers from the Trust Depositor. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Depositor enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.

(c) No Consent Required. The Trust Depositor is not required to obtain the consent of any other party (other than those that it has already obtained) or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Trust Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Trust Depositor, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach of the Trust Depositor’s organizational documents or Contractual Obligations to which the Trust Depositor is a party or by which the Trust Depositor or any of the Trust Depositor’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of

any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Trust Depositor threatened, against the Trust Depositor or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the Securities (i) that, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Trust Depositor be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Trust Depositor or the Issuer or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Trust Depositor is a party or (ii) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Certificate or Notes.

(f) Solvency. The Trust Depositor, at the time of and after giving effect to each conveyance of Loan Assets hereunder, is Solvent on and as of the date thereof.

(g) Taxes. The Trust Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has put all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Trust Depositor); no tax Lien has been filed and, to the Trust Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

(h) Place of Business; No Changes. The Trust Depositor’s location (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as set forth in Section 13.04. The Trust Depositor has not changed its name, whether by amendment of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not changed its location within the 4-months preceding the Closing Date.

(i) Not an Investment Company. The Trust Depositor is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, will not be required to be registered as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

(j) Sale Treatment. Other than for tax and accounting purposes, the Trust Depositor has treated the transfer of Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor for all purposes as a sale and purchase on all of its relevant books and records and other applicable documents.

(k) Security Interest.

(i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Loan Assets in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Trust Depositor;

(ii) the Loans, along with the related Loan Files, constitute either a “general intangible,” an “instrument,” an “account,” “investment property,” or “chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC;

(iii) the Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Loan Assets free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), claim or encumbrance of any Person;

(iv) the Trust Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Loan Assets to the sale of the Loan Assets hereunder to the Issuer;

(v) the Trust Depositor has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in such Loan Assets granted to the Issuer under this Agreement;

(vi) other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of such Loan Assets. The Trust Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Trust Depositor that include a description of collateral covering such Loan Assets other than any financing statement (A) relating to the security interest granted to the Trust Depositor under the Loan Sale Agreement, or (B) that has been terminated. The Trust Depositor is not aware of the filing of any judgment or tax Lien filings against the Trust Depositor;

(vii) all original executed copies of each Underlying Note (if any) that constitute or evidence the Loan Assets have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and in the case of Noteless Loans, a copy of each related Note Register, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Originator, has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee;

(viii) the Trust Depositor has received a written acknowledgment from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee or its bailee is holding any Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any Loan Assets solely on behalf of and for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties; and

(ix) none of the Underlying Notes that constitute or evidence any Loan Assets has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer.

(l) Value Given. The cash payments received by the Trust Depositor in respect of the purchase price of each Loan sold hereunder constitutes the face value of such Loan and the reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer to the Issuer of such Loan under this Agreement, such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Originator to the Trust Depositor, and such transfer was not and is not voidable or subject to avoidance under any Insolvency Law.

(m) Investment Company. The Issuer is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, will not be required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

(n) No Defaults. The Trust Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Trust Depositor or its respective properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.

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

(p) Origination and Collection Practices. The origination and collection practices used with respect to each Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper and prudent and comply with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(s) Nonconsolidation. The Trust Depositor conducts its affairs such that the Issuer would not be substantively consolidated in the estate of the Trust Depositor and their respective separate existences would not be disregarded in the event of the Trust Depositor’s bankruptcy.

(t) Accuracy of Information. All written factual information heretofore furnished by the Trust Depositor for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which Trust Depositor is a party, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such written factual information hereafter furnished by the Trust Depositor to any such party will be, true and accurate in every material respect, on the date such information is stated or certified.

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(k) may not be waived by any Person and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Trust Depositor and Issuer (i) shall not, without satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition with respect thereto, waive any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.01(k), and (ii) shall provide S&P with prompt written notice of any breach of the representations and warranties set out in Section 3.01(k).

The Trust Depositor represents and warrants (x) with respect to Section 3.02(a), Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(d) and Section 3.02(e) as to each Loan as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Substitute Loan, and (y) with respect to Section 3.02(c), as to the Loan Pool in the aggregate as of the Initial Cut–Off Date, and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to

Substitute Loans (after giving effect to the addition of such Substitute Loans to the Loan Pool), that:

(a) List of Loans. The information set forth in the List of Loans attached hereto as Exhibit G (as the same may be amended or deemed amended in respect of a conveyance of Substitute Loans on a Subsequent Transfer Date) is true, complete and correct as of the applicable Cut–Off Date.

(b) Eligible Loan. Such Loan satisfies the criteria for the definition of Eligible Loan set forth in this Agreement as of the date of its conveyance hereunder.

(c) Loans Secured by Real Property. Less than 40% of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut–Off Date consists of Loans principally secured by real property, and the Trust Depositor will not effectuate the transfer of a Substitute Loan if such transfer would cause more than 40% of the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance of the Loan Pool as of any Subsequent Transfer Date to consist of Loans principally secured by real property.

(d) Underlying Custodial Agreements. With respect to each Pooled Obligor Loan, the underlying loan documents and other collateral pledged by the Underlying Debtors is held by an Underlying Custodian for the benefit of the Originator and its assignees. The Originator’s rights under each such Underlying Custodial Agreement are fully assignable and have been assigned by it to the Trust Depositor, and assigned by the Trust Depositor to the Issuer in connection with the transfer of the Loan Assets.

Section 3.03. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Initial Loans in the Aggregate.

The Trust Depositor represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, that as of the Initial Cut–Off Date, the Initial Loans have the following additional characteristics: (i) no Loan has a remaining maturity of more than 71 months; (ii) the date of the final Scheduled Payment on the Loan with the latest maturity is not later than January 28, 2011; (iii) no Loan was originated after the Initial Cut–Off Date; and (iv) none of the Initial Loans provide for Scheduled Payments of interest due on a basis other than monthly, quarterly, semi–annually or annually.

Section 3.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan Files.

The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Loans (or as of the Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to Substitute Loans), that (i) to the extent any such Loans were pledged under the Funding I Transaction, the Funding II Transaction, the Funding III Transaction, the Acquisition Funding Transaction or any Prior Term Transaction, immediately prior to such date (as applicable), the Originator and/or a collateral custodian under the Funding I Transaction, the Funding II Transaction, the Funding III Transaction, the Acquisition Funding Transaction or such Prior Term Transaction had possession of each original Underlying Note (except in the case of Noteless Loans) and the related complete Loan File, and there were no other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect and (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, the complete Loan File for each Loan is in the possession of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 3.05. Representations and Warranties Regarding Concentrations of Initial Loans.

The Trust Depositor represents and warrants on the Closing Date, as to the composition of the Initial Loans in the Loan Pool as of the Initial Cut–Off Date, that:

(a) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that are in the same industry (by NAICS Code) shall not exceed 18.93% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance; and

(b) the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balances of Obligors that have their primary business in the same State of the United States shall not exceed 9.61% of the Initial Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance.

Section 3.06. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Servicer.

The Servicer represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties that:

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the limited liability company power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer. The Servicer is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction to service the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or Issuer.

(b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Servicer has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or in equity.

(c) No Consent Required. The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any other party (other than those that it has already obtained) or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance,

validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party.

(d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party by the Servicer will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Servicer, or conflict with, result in a default under or constitute a breach of the Servicer’s organizational documents or any Contractual Obligations to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation of or imposition of any Lien of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual Obligations, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party that, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Issuer or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party.

(f) Reports. All reports, certificates and other written information furnished by the Servicer with respect to the Loans are correct in all material respects.

(b) If any change in either the Servicer’s, the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s name, identity, structure, existence, state of formation, location or other action would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of ownership interest or Lien relating to any Loan Asset seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Servicer, no later than five Business Days after the effective date of such change, shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Loan Assets and the proceeds thereof.

ARTICLE 5.

SERVICING OF LOANS

Section 5.01. Appointment and Acceptance.

CapitalSource is hereby appointed as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. CapitalSource accepts the appointment and agrees to act as the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.02. Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer, as an independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Loans with any entity provided the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, so long as this Agreement shall remain effective, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Indenture Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, for the servicing and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Loans when any Subservicer has received such payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(c) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or services relating to the Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 5.02(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall (i) at its expense and without reimbursement, deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each Subservicing Agreement and (ii) provide notice of the termination of any Subservicer within a reasonable time after such Subservicer’s termination to the Indenture Trustee.

(d) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer, the Servicer at its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, deliver to the Successor Servicer all documents and records (including computer tapes and diskettes) relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Loans then being serviced hereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it hereunder and

otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.

(e) Modifications and Waivers Relating to Loans.

(i) So long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Loan if in the Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification or variance will not be materially adverse to the interests of the Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties; provided, however, the Servicer may not:

(A) amend, waive, modify or vary any Loan in any manner that would extend the stated maturity date of such Loan beyond February 20, 2014; or

(B) enter into any amendment, waiver, modification or variance with respect to any loan for the purpose or with the intention of causing a Substitution Event to occur with respect to such Loan solely in order to render such loan eligible for repurchase or substitution hereunder or to otherwise make such Loan eligible for repurchase pursuant to Section 2.07.

If any Loan is amended, modified, waived or varied due to an Obligor’s inability to pay principal (excluding payments of principal consisting of excess cash flow sweeps) or interest, then the Loan shall be treated as a Delinquent Loan as of the date that is one day in case of Asset Based Revolvers or 60 days in the case of all other Loans after such delinquent payment was first due if all delinquencies have not been cured within that one day or 60 day period, as applicable.

(ii) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.02(e)(i), the Servicer may execute any amendments, waivers, modifications or variances related to such Loan and any documents related thereto on behalf of the Issuer. The Servicer will provide each Rating Agency with a written summary of any such amendment, waiver, modification or variance promptly after its execution and, promptly upon request by any Rating Agency, a copy of any such waiver, modification or variance. Such summary shall set forth a brief description of the reasons for, and the effect of, such waiver, modification or variance, and shall indicate whether such waiver, modification or variance constitutes a Specified Amendment.

(iii) With respect to each of the modifications described in clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iv)-(vii) and clause (b) of the definition of Specified Amendment, the Servicer may elect to submit the modified (or overadvanced, as applicable) Loan to S&P to be re-rated. If the Servicer does not elect to have such Loan re-rated by S&P, then such Loan shall be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan as of the date that is 60 days after the effective date of the relevant Specified Amendment; provided that such Loan shall cease to be deemed a Delinquent Loan as of such later date as it may be submitted to S&P for re-rating. Any Loan which is subject to a modification described in clause (a)(iii) of the definition of Specified Amendment will be deemed to be a Delinquent Loan upon the effectiveness of such Specified Amendment. If the Servicer elects to have such Loan re-rated by S&P,

then at any time during such process, including up to 90 days after Servicer receives the revised rating of the Loan, the Servicer may repurchase such Loan. The provisions of this Section 5.02(e)(iii) shall not apply to modifications, amendments or variances that do not constitute Specified Amendments.

(iv) No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing Advances shall for the purposes of distributions to Noteholders or Hedge Counterparties be added to the amount owing under the related Loan. Any fees and costs imposed in connection therewith may be retained by the Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as it is consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty, all instruments of amendment, waiver, satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans and with respect to any Collateral. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, the authority to substitute or release items of Collateral consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy and sell participations or assignments in Loans previously transferred to the Issuer. In connection with any such sale, the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account, pursuant to Section 7.03(b), all proceeds received upon such sale. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall furnish the Servicer, within five Business Days of receipt of the Servicer’s request, with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. Any such request to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall be accompanied by a certification in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer. In connection with any substitution of Collateral, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee the items, and within the time frame, set forth in Section 2.06, assuming that the date of substitution is the relevant “Transfer Date.”

(f) The Servicer, in servicing and administering the Loans, shall act in good faith, exercise commercially reasonable judgment and reasonable care, consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, employ or cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure, Foreclosed Property and Repossessed Collateral management procedures), prudent lending standards and exercise a degree of skill and attention not less than that which it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering loans for its own account and in a manner consistent with those policies and procedures as are customarily used by reasonable and prudent servicers of national repute in connection with servicing of assets of the nature and of the character of the Loans, giving due consideration to the Noteholders’ and Hedge Counterparties’ reliance on the Servicer. The Servicer shall not permit an Obligor of a Revolving Loan to receive an Overadvance thereunder for the purpose of making payments of principal or interest (in whole or in part) due with respect to a Term Loan, where any portion of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, shall constitute a part of the Loan Assets hereunder or an asset of any Prior Term Transaction.

(g) Hedge Covenants.

(i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date either:

(A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or

(B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation period of all Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans exceeds the projected Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and, with effect on such next Remittance Date, one or more of the Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans will be reduced or amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the Aggregate Notional Amount for each calculation period of the Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Loans will not exceed the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Fixed Rate Loans at the end of the corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the corresponding Due Period.

(ii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date either:

(A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the then Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating Prime Rate Permitted Excess Amount; or

(B) the Aggregate Notional Amount for any future calculation period of all Hedge Transactions hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans exceeds the projected Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans for the corresponding Due Period by more than the Floating Prime Rate Permitted Excess Amount;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and, with effect on such next Remittance Date, one or more of the Hedge Transactions hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will be reduced or amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the Aggregate Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions hedging the Floating Prime Rate Loans will not exceed the Outstanding Loan Balance of the Floating Prime Rate Loans at the end of the corresponding Due Period or as projected to be outstanding at the end of the corresponding Due Period.

(iii) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, if on any date either:

(A) the then current Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions under all Hedge Agreements then in effect exceeds the then Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance; or

(B) the Aggregate Notional Amount of all Hedge Transactions for any future calculation period under all Hedge Agreements then in effect exceeds the projected Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period;

then, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Determination Date preceding the next Remittance Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies of such event and, with effect on such next Remittance Date, one or more of the Hedge Transactions will be reduced or amended in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedge Agreements so that the Aggregate Notional Amount of the Hedge Transactions for any future calculation period will not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period.

(h) In accordance with the power set forth in Section 2.01(a), the Servicer shall perform the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall consult with the Owner Trustee as the Servicer deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s or the Owner Trustee’s duties under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall prepare for execution by the Owner Trustee or the Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, the Servicer shall perform such calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to state and federal tax and securities laws. In accordance with the directions of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee, the Servicer shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Issuer as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Servicer.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall be responsible for promptly (upon knowledge thereof) notifying the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) to a Securityholder. Any such notice shall be in writing and specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent pursuant to such provision.

(k) All tax returns will be signed by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer.

(l) The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed under this Agreement, which books of account and records shall be reasonably accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty at any time during normal business hours.

(m) Without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties and subject to the satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition and the Xxxxx’x Rating Condition, the Servicer shall not agree or consent to, or otherwise permit to occur, any amendment, modification, change, supplement or rescission of or to the Credit and Collection Policy, in whole or in part, in any manner that could have a material adverse effect on the Loans.

(n) For so long as any of the Notes are outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (i) the Servicer will provide or cause to be provided to any holder of such Notes and any prospective purchaser thereof designated by such holder, upon the request of such a holder or prospective purchaser, the information required to be provided to such holder or prospective purchaser by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; and (ii) the Servicer shall update such information from time to time in order to prevent such information from becoming false and misleading and will take such other actions as are necessary to ensure that the safe harbor exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144A is and will be available for resales of such Notes conducted in accordance with Rule 144A.

(o) The Servicer will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchise as a Delaware limited liability company, and the Servicer shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and of any of the Loans and to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(p) The Servicer shall be obligated to make the Servicing Advances (but not Scheduled Payment Advances) incurred in the performance of its servicing duties hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Servicing Advances from the Collections received from the Loan to which such Servicing Advances relate pursuant to Section 5.10(d) and Section 7.03(h). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the application of Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances prevent a Loan from being or becoming a Delinquent Loan or Charged–Off Loan, as applicable.

(q) The Servicer shall not be responsible for any taxes on the Issuer or any Servicing Fees to any Successor Servicer.

(r) All payments (other than Prepayments) received on Loans will be applied by the Servicer to amounts due by the Obligor starting with the most recent Scheduled Payment.

(s) The Servicer shall be responsible for any tax reporting, disclosure, record keeping or list maintenance requirements of the Issuer under Internal Revenue Code Sections 6011(a), 6111(d) or 6112, including, but not limited to, the preparation of IRS Form 8886 pursuant to Federal Income Tax Regulations Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision and any

required list maintenance under Federal Income Tax Regulations Section 301.6112-1 or any successor provision.

(t) The Servicer shall notify the Backup Servicer of any material modification to its servicing system.

(u) The initial Servicer shall provide to S&P financial statements for each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool, within 13 months after the Closing Date and every thirteen months thereafter, until such time as the related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool. Any failure by the initial Servicer to provide financial statements with respect to any Obligor at such times shall result in each Loan to the applicable Obligor being deemed to have an S&P rating of CCC-.

(v) The initial Servicer shall provide to Xxxxx’x annual financial statements for each Obligor of a Loan included in the Loan Pool as promptly as reasonably practicable after such financial statements are delivered to the Servicer after the end of each Obligor’s fiscal year, until such time as the related Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Loan Pool.

Section 5.03. Liquidation of Loans.

(a) In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 5.02 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Loan, the Servicer in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy shall take such action as shall maximize the amount of recovery thereon and it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer, consistent with its Credit and Collection Policy, may accelerate all payments due thereunder to the extent permitted by the Required Loan Documents and foreclose upon at a public or private sale or otherwise comparably effect the ownership of Collateral relating to defaulted Loans for which the related Loan is still outstanding and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 and shall act as sales and processing agent for the Collateral that is repossessed. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion and any other liquidation action or enforcement of remedies, the Servicer shall exercise collection and foreclosure procedures with the same degree of care and skill in its exercise or use as it would exercise with respect to its own affairs, in accordance with prudent servicing standards, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may not sell any such Collateral without first using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain bids to purchase such Collateral from at least three Persons (other than the Servicer or any of its Affiliates). The Servicer may sell the Collateral to the highest bidder (if any bids are received) or the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a price equal to the highest bid, but in no event may the Servicer sell any Collateral for less than the then fair market value of the Collateral. If no bids are received and the Servicer has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such bids, the Servicer or an Affiliate may purchase the Collateral for a price equal to the then fair market value of such Collateral. Any such sale of the Collateral is to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee setting forth the Loan, the Collateral, the sale price of the Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such Collateral. In any case in which any such Collateral has suffered

damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

(b) Prior to undertaking foreclosure of any Loan secured by real property and any improvements thereon including any Mortgaged Property of a Material Mortgage Loan, the Servicer must investigate environmental conditions, including, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, the performance of a Phase I and/or Phase II environmental site assessment, to ascertain the actual or potential presence of any hazardous material on or under such property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term hazardous material includes (1) any hazardous substance, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. 9601–9675, and (2) petroleum (as that term is defined at 42 U.S.C. §6991) including any derivative, fraction, by–product, constituent or breakdown product thereof, or additive thereto. In the event that the environmental investigation determines the existence of any hazardous material on or under the real property in excess of minimum action levels established by relevant regulatory agencies, title to such property shall not be taken without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

(c) After a Loan has been liquidated, the Servicer shall promptly prepare and forward to the Indenture Trustee and upon request, any Securityholder or Hedge Counterparty, a report (the “Liquidation Report”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, detailing the Liquidation Proceeds received from such Loan, the Liquidation Expenses incurred with respect thereto, and any loss incurred in connection therewith.

Section 5.04. Fidelity Bond.

The Servicer shall at all times maintain with a responsible company, and at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $2,000,000, and a maximum deductible of $50,000, with coverage on all employees acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans or the Collateral (“Servicer Employees”). The Fidelity Bond shall provide coverage to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Securityholders, their respective officers and employees, against losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement or fraud by such Servicer Employees. The Fidelity Bond shall not relieve the Servicer from its duties or indemnity obligations as set forth in this Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or any Hedge Counterparty, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or such Hedge Counterparty a certified true copy of such Fidelity Bond.

Section 5.05. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.

(a) The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that each Obligor maintains an Insurance Policy with respect to any tangible, personal property Collateral (other than accounts receivable) in an amount at least equal to the sum of the Outstanding Loan Balance

of the related Eligible Loan and shall ensure that each such Insurance Policy names the Servicer as loss payee and as an insured thereunder and all of the Originator’s right, title and interest therein is fully assigned to the Indenture Trustee. Additionally, other than with respect to unsecured Loans and Loans in which the sole collateral is the related Obligor’s accounts receivable, the Servicer will require that each Obligor maintain property damage liability insurance during the term of each Loan in amounts and against risks customarily insured against by the Obligor on property owned by it. If an Obligor fails to maintain property damage insurance, the Servicer may in its discretion purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of, the Obligor. In connection with its activities as Servicer, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each Loan. The Servicer’s Insurance Policies with respect to the Collateral will insure against liability for physical damage relating to such Collateral in accordance with the requirements of the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Policy and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Collateral, including any Insurance Policy with respect to which it is named as loss payee and as an insured, and agrees that it has no equitable, beneficial or other interest in the Insurance Polices and Insurance Proceeds other than being named as loss payee and as an insured. The Servicer acknowledges that with respect to the Insurance Policies and Insurance Proceeds thereof that it is acting solely in the capacity as agent for the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.05(a), in the case of each Material Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall comply with the Credit and Collection Policy concerning the issuance and maintenance of fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. If at origination of a Loan, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge after reasonable investigation, the related Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer will require the related Obligor or other creditors to purchase a flood insurance policy covering each piece of property that is material with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property that is material, or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain, to the extent such insurance is available, and required by the Credit and Collection Policy, on Foreclosed Property constituting real property that is material, fire and hazard insurance in the amounts described above and liability insurance.

(c) Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Collateral, or to be released to the Obligor or other creditors in accordance with Requirements of Law or the governing documents) shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 7.03(h). It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Obligor or other creditors or maintained on Foreclosed Property, other than pursuant to such Requirements of Law and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder (unless

the Seller is a non–agent co–lender with respect to such Loan) shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with losses payable to the Servicer or its Affiliates.

Section 5.06. Collection of Certain Loan Payments.

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy, to collect all payments required under the terms and provisions of the Loans. Consistent with the foregoing and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as servicing compensation and extend the due date for payments due on a Loan as provided in Section 5.02(e).

(b) The Servicer agrees not to make, or permit to be made, any change, in the direction of, or instructions with respect to, any payments to be made by an Obligor Lock–Box Bank from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box Account in any manner that would diminish, impair, delay or otherwise adversely effect the timing or receipt of such payments by the Lock–Box Bank without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer further agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee promptly, but in no case later than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt, any notice it receives that an Obligor is changing the direction of or instructions with respect to any payments from any Obligor Lock–Box or any Obligor Lock–Box Account.

Section 5.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Loans.

The Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the FDIC, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the supervisory agents and examiners of the foregoing, access to the documentation regarding the Loans required by applicable local, state and federal regulations, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall and shall cause their representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with their obligations hereunder.

Section 5.08. Satisfaction of Mortgages and Collateral and Release of Loan Files.

(a) Upon the payment in full of any Loan, the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes or the deposit into the Principal and Interest Account of the purchase price of any Loan acquired by the Trust Depositor, the Servicer or another Person pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, the Servicer will immediately notify the Indenture Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that

all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 7.03(b) have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee shall in accordance with Section 2.08(c) release, within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. central time), the related Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable by the Servicer and shall not be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account or the Note Distribution Account; provided that the Servicer may collect and retain such expenses from the underlying Obligor.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a certification in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Loan File to the Servicer within two Business Days (if such request was received by 2:00 p.m. central time), and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Servicer shall return the Loan File to the Indenture Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Loan has been liquidated and the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Distribution Account or the Loan 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 or repossession of Collateral either judicially or non–judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to whom such Loan File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt relating to such Loan shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents provided to it necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of Collateral or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Obligor on the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement securing Collateral) or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the related loan agreement (including any Underlying Note or other agreement securing Collateral) or otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Indenture Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise adversely affect the Lien of the agreement securing Collateral, except for the termination of such a Lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action requested in such request, that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced by such request, required or appropriate by any state or other jurisdiction to discharge the Lien securing Collateral upon the satisfaction thereof and the Indenture Trustee will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any such documents to the Servicer, or such other party as the Servicer may direct, within five Business Days of the

Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such certificate or documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish to the Indenture Trustee’s satisfaction that the related Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor (or subject to a deficiency claim against such Obligor) and that such payment has been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.08 to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer possess in excess of 15 Loan Files (excluding Loan Files for Loans which have been paid in full or repurchased) at any given time.

Section 5.09. Scheduled Payment Advances.

For each Due Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) that was due and payable pursuant to a Loan in the Loan Pool during such Due Period was not received prior to the end of such Due Period or has been received in an Obligor Lock–Box Account but has not yet been transferred to the Lock–Box Account, the Servicer has the right to elect, but is not obligated, to make a Scheduled Payment Advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) if the Servicer believes in good faith that the advance will be reimbursed or subsequently paid by the related Obligor. The Servicer will deposit any Scheduled Payment Advances into the Principal and Interest Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Determination Date, in immediately available funds. The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Scheduled Payment Advances pursuant to Section 7.03, Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b).

Section 5.10. Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosed Property.

(a) In the event that title to Collateral is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or by other legal process, the deed or certificate of sale, or the Repossessed Collateral, shall be taken in the name of the Issuer for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

(b) The Servicer, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 5, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral for the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed or repossessed property for its own account, and in a similar manner to that of similar property in the same locality as the Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties.

(c) The Servicer shall cause to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account, no later than two Business Days after the receipt thereof, all revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition of the related Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral net of Servicing Advances.

(d) The Servicer shall, subject to Section 5.02(p) and Section 7.03, reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees, and the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account the net cash proceeds of the sale of any Foreclosed Property or other Repossessed Collateral to be distributed to the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties in accordance with Section 7.05 hereof.

The Servicing Fee is payable out of Collections pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b). If the Servicer is replaced, the Originator shall be responsible for the payment of any fee payable to a Successor Servicer in excess of the Servicer Fee to the extent such fee is not paid pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and Section 7.05(b).

(b) In addition to the Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain for itself as additional servicing compensation assumption and other administrative fees paid or payable in connection with any Loan.

Section 5.12. Assignment; Resignation.

The Servicer shall not assign its rights and duties under this Agreement (other than in connection with a subservicing arrangement) nor resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer except (a) by mutual consent of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Majority Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties, (b) in connection with a merger, conversion or consolidation permitted pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Person resulting from the merger, conversion or consolidation shall be the successor of the Servicer), (c) in connection with an assignment permitted pursuant to Section 5.13 (in which case the Assignee shall be the successor of the Servicer), or (d) upon the Servicer’s determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Requirements of Law or administrative determination and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel for the Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor has assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 8.03.

Section 5.13. Merger or Consolidation of Servicer.

(a) Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from such merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, or any Person succeeding to substantially all of the business of the Servicer, and who shall be an established commercial loan servicing institution that on a consolidated basis has a net worth of at least $50,000,000, shall be the Successor Servicer hereunder without execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary; provided, however, no such merger, conversion or consolidation of the Servicer or transfer of all or substantially all or the Servicer assets or business shall be permitted hereunder unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect thereto.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a change-in-control (including any merger or consolidation of the Originator or transfer of substantially all of its assets and its business), the Servicer shall (i) provide the Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Hedge Counterparties and the Rating Agencies with notice of such change-in-control within 30 days after completion of the same, and (ii) satisfy the Rating Agency Condition after completion of the same.

ARTICLE 7.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS;

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND

Section 7.01. Note Distribution Account, Reserve Fund and Lock–Boxes.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund with and in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The Servicer and Indenture Trustee are hereby required to ensure that each of the Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund is established and maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account with a Qualified Institution. If any institution with which any of the accounts established pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) are established ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Servicer, or if the Servicer fails to do so, the Indenture Trustee (as the case may be) shall within ten Business Days establish a replacement account at a Qualified Institution after notice of such event. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible for monitoring whether such Eligible Institution shall remain a Qualified

Institution. Each Qualified Institution maintaining an Eligible Deposit Account shall agree in writing to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee or, with respect to the Principal and Interest Account only, the Servicer directing disposition of the funds in the Eligible Deposit Account without the further consent of the Trust Depositor.

(b) If the Servicer so directs (or, if the Servicer does not so direct, the Trust Depositor has the right to direct), in writing, the Indenture Trustee shall accept such directions as directions of the Issuer and shall invest the amounts in the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Fund in Permitted Investments of the type specified in such written direction that mature or are withdrawable not later than the next succeeding Determination Date, except for investments in Section (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments. Once such funds are invested, the Indenture Trustee shall not change the investment of such funds other than in connection with the withdrawal or liquidation of such investments and the transfer of such funds as provided herein on or prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. Funds in the Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund not so invested must be insured to the extent and the amount permitted by law by BIF or SAIF of the FDIC. Subject to the restrictions herein, the Servicer or Indenture Trustee may purchase a Permitted Investment from itself or an Affiliate with respect to investment of funds in the Trust Accounts. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Servicer in the case of the Principal and Interest Account and the Indenture Trustee in the case of all other Trust Accounts shall have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the Servicer or its agent or the Indenture Trustee or its agent, as applicable, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, in a manner which complies with this Section 7.01. All Investment Earnings on investments of funds in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.01 and distributed on the next Remittance Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The Trust Depositor and the Issuer agree and acknowledge that the Servicer and Indenture Trustee are to have “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of collateral comprised of “Investment Property” (within the meaning of the UCC) for all purposes of this Agreement. In the absence of timely written direction from the Servicer or the Trust Depositor, the Indenture Trustee shall invest amounts in the Note Distribution Account and Reserve Fund Account in Permitted Investments of the type specified in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments herein.

(c) The Servicer and the Originator have established, or caused to be established, and will maintain, or caused to be maintained, various Obligor Lock–Boxes and Obligor Lock–Box Accounts, for the deposit of the amounts representing payments sent by Obligors with respect to certain Revolving Loans. The Servicer and the Originator have established, or caused to be established, and will maintain, or caused to be maintained, the Lock–Box and the Lock–Box Account, for the deposit of the amounts representing payments sent by Obligors and Obligor Lock–Box Banks, as applicable, with respect to Loans pledged to the Indenture Trustee as well as with respect to loans not pledged to the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer, as agent for the Issuer, and the Originator will cause each Obligor Lock–Box Bank to deposit within two Business Days of receipt all Collections that have been sent to such Obligor Lock–Box Bank into the Lock Box Account, and within two Business Days of the deposit into the Lock–Box or the Lock Box Account, the Servicer and the Originator will cause the Lock–Box Bank to cause the amounts in the Lock Box Account to be deposited into the Principal and Interest Account.

Section 7.02. Reserve Fund Deposit.

On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, shall deposit the Reserve Fund Initial Balance into the Reserve Fund from the net proceeds of the sale of the Securities.

Section 7.03. Principal and Interest Account.

(a) The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained one or more Principal and Interest Accounts (including for each such account two subaccounts, one designated as the Interest Collection Account and the other designated as the Principal Collection Account), in one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, which may be interest–bearing or such accounts may be trust accounts wherein the moneys therein are invested in Permitted Investments, titled “CapitalSource Finance LLC, as Servicer, in trust for the Hedge Counterparties and the registered holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series 2005-1 Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Notes.” All funds in such Principal and Interest Accounts not so invested shall be insured to the extent and the amount permitted by the BIF or SAIF of the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. The creation of any Principal and Interest Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and, upon request, any Securityholder or Hedge Counterparty. The Servicer may, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, transfer any Principal and Interest Account to a different Eligible Deposit Account.

(b) The Servicer and each Subservicer shall deposit without duplication (within two Business Days of receipt thereof) in the applicable Principal and Interest Account and retain therein the following amounts received by the Servicer (and shall segregate and deposit Interest Collections into the Interest Collections Account and Principal Collections into the Principal Collection Account):

(i) all Principal Collections accruing and received on or after the applicable Cut–Off Date;

(ii) all Interest Collections accruing and received on or after the applicable Cut–Off Date (net of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Loan and other servicing compensation payable to the Servicer as permitted herein) and all origination and commitment fees;

(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds (other than Insurance Proceeds covered under clause (iv) below);

(iv) all Insurance Proceeds (other than amounts to be applied to restoration or repair of any related Collateral or amounts in excess of the Outstanding Loan Balance of the related Loan to be released to the Obligor in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy);

(v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds and any other proceeds from any other Collateral securing the Loans (other than amounts released to the Obligor in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy);

(vi) any amounts paid in connection with the purchase or repurchase of any Loan;

(vii) any amount required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section 7.03; and

(viii) the amount of any gains and interest incurred in connection with investments in Permitted Investments.

(c) The Servicer shall have no obligation to deposit into the Principal and Interest Account any Retained Interest or Released Amounts.

(d) Not later than the close of business on each Determination Date immediately preceding a Remittance Date, the Servicer will remit to the Principal and Interest Account any Scheduled Payment Advance that the Servicer determines to make.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 7.03(b), if (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Principal and Interest Account in respect of a Collection of a Loan in the Loan Pool and such Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason, or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Principal and Interest Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

(f) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Principal and Interest Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments with respect to the Servicing Fee, together with the Liquidation Expenses, may not be deposited by the Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account.

(g) So long as no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, the Principal and Interest Accounts shall either be maintained with an Eligible Deposit Account as an interest–bearing account meeting the requirements set forth in Section 7.03(a), or the funds held therein may be invested by the Servicer (to the extent practicable) in Permitted Investments, as directed in writing by the Servicer, and, in each case, with a stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace period) no later than the fourth Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date next following the Due Period in which the date of investment occurs; provided, however, that Permitted Investments shall not include any interest-only security, any security purchased at a price in excess of 100% of par or any security whose repayment is subject to substantial non-credit related risk as determined by the Servicer. All Permitted Investments must be held by or registered in the name of “CapitalSource, as Servicer, in trust for the Hedge Counterparties and the registered holders of CapitalSource Commercial Loan Trust Notes, Series 2005-1.” Any Investment Interest Earnings on funds held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be deemed

part of the Interest Collection Account and shall be deposited therein pursuant to Section 7.03 and distributed on the next Remittance Date pursuant to Section 7.05. The amount of any losses incurred in connection with the investment of funds in the Principal and Interest Account in Permitted Investments shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer from its own funds immediately as realized without reimbursement therefor.

(h) The Servicer may (and, for the purposes of clause (ii) below, shall), at any time upon one Business Day’s notice to the Indenture Trustee, make withdrawals from the Principal and Interest Account for the following purposes:

(i) to remit to the Trust Depositor, in connection with the transfer of a Substitute Loan to the Issuer in place of a Prepaid Loan, an amount equal to the Prepaid Loan Amount;

(ii) to remit to the Indenture Trustee on each Determination Date immediately preceding a Remittance Date, for deposit in the Note Distribution Account, the Interest Collections and Principal Collections received during the immediately preceding Due Period less any amounts remitted to the Trust Depositor pursuant to clause (i) above prior to such Determination Date;

(vi) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Principal and Interest Account that were not required or permitted to be deposited therein or were deposited therein in error;

(ix) to purchase substitute Loans as contemplated by Section 2.04(a) to the extent funds have been deposited by the Originator for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(i)(B); and

(a) Each Securityholder as of the related Record Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Remittance Date by check mailed to such Securityholder at the address for such Securityholder appearing on the Note Register or Certificate Register or by wire transfer if such Securityholder provides written instructions to the Indenture Trustee, or Owner Trustee, respectively, at least (10) ten days prior to such Remittance Date, which instructions may be in the form of a standing order.

If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 on the related LIBOR Determination Date, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be determined as if the parties had specified “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” as the applicable rate. “USD–LIBOR–Reference Banks” means that the interest rate for an Interest Accrual Period will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the related LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for the One–Month Index Maturity commencing on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount. The Indenture Trustee will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Indenture Trustee, at 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for the One–Month Index Maturity commencing at the beginning of that Interest Accrual Period and in a Representative Amount.

(b) The establishment of LIBOR on the applicable London Banking Day by the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the rates of interest applicable to the Notes for the related Remittance Date shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding. Each such rate of interest may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at (612) 667–8058.

Section 7.07. Monthly Reconciliation.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 7.07(b), on each Business Day during each Due Period that Principal Collections are received in the Principal Collection Account with respect to any Loan in the Loan Pool, the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and the principal amount of the portion of such Loan not owned by the Issuer (if any) with respect to such Loan.

(b) Prior to (i) a payment default on the related Loan (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (ii) a Servicer Default, (iii) an Event of Default or (iv) an Accelerated Amortization Event, on each Monthly Reconciliation Date, the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance and principal amount of the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities and any co-lenders under the related facility (if any) with respect

105

to each Revolving Loan secured by Collateral (but specifically excluding any Revolving Loan that is not secured by any Collateral) in the Loan Pool, and on and as of such date will determine the net effect of the Principal Collections received from, and payments from the Principal Collection Account representing new advances made to, the related Obligor during such Due Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer will maintain the underlying data of all Principal Collections received and payments or advances made with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by Collateral from the Principal Collection Account on each day during each Due Period, and shall make such underlying data available pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03.

ARTICLE 8.

SERVICER DEFAULT; SERVICER TRANSFER

Section 8.01. Servicer Default.

“Servicer Default” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit when due any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, it being understood that the Servicer shall not be responsible for the failure of either the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to remit funds that were received by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee from the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or

(b) failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or any representation or warranty of the Servicer made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other writing delivered thereto or in connection therewith proves to have been incorrect when made, which failure or breach has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties and continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (if such failure or breach can be cured) after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, or a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by any Securityholder or Hedge Counterparty, and (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the Servicer receives actual knowledge of such failure or breach; or

(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any Insolvency Proceedings, or for the winding–up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days; or

(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any Insolvency Proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer’s property; or

(f) without the consent of the Majority Noteholders or the Hedge Counterparties, the Servicer agrees or consents to, or otherwise permits to occur, any amendment, modification, change, supplement or rescission of or to the Servicer or the Credit and Collection Policy, in whole or in part, in any manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Loans; or

(g) failure by the Servicer to observe or perform the Credit and Collection Policy regarding the servicing of the Loans in any manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Loans.

Section 8.02. Servicer Transfer.

(a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders may, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to the parties hereto and each of the Hedge Counterparties, terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer’s management, administrative, servicing, custodial and collection functions; provided, however, no Termination Notice shall be required with respect to any Servicer Default described under Section 8.01(c), Section 8.01(d) and Section 8.01(e).

(b) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (such appointment being herein called a “Servicer Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees, indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in such successor (the “Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney–in–fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination.

The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all records held by the Servicer relating to the Loans in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan Files in the Servicer’s possession. In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its premises (including all computer records and programs) to the Successor Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of the Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for performing the obligations of the Servicer. Any indemnities provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in favor of the Servicer and any fees, costs, expenses, Servicing Advances or Scheduled Payment Advances which have accrued and/or are unpaid to the Servicer shall survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer.

107

Section 8.03. Appointment of Successor Servicer; Reconveyance; Successor Servicer to Act.

(a) Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 8.02(a) (or, if later, on a date designated therein), the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice, appoint a Successor Servicer, which shall be the Backup Servicer, in accordance with Section 5.15(c), and named Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee; provided, that, no appointment of a Successor Servicer or acceptance and assumption by a proposed Successor Servicer shall be effective without the prior satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. If within 60 days of delivery of a Termination Notice a Successor Servicer is not appointed and the Servicer shall have yet to cure the Servicer Default, then the Indenture Trustee shall offer the Trust Depositor, and the Trust Depositor shall offer the Originator, the right to accept retransfer of all the Loan Assets, and such parties may accept retransfer of such Loan Assets in consideration of the Trust Depositor’s delivery to the Principal and Interest Account on or prior to the next upcoming Remittance Date of a sum equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Securities (other than the Certificates) then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date of deposit and all other amounts due and owing to any Person under the Transaction Documents, including amounts owing to each Hedge Counterparty, including Hedge Breakage Costs, it being a condition precedent to such retransfer that all Hedge Transactions then outstanding under any Hedge Agreements then in effect shall be terminated and all amounts payable to the Hedge Counterparties, including Hedge Breakage Costs, upon such termination shall be paid in full; provided, that, the Indenture Trustee, if so directed by the Majority Noteholders in writing, need not accept and effect such reconveyance in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of an investment bank or similar entity) reasonably acceptable to such Indenture Trustee or Majority Noteholders that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of the Trust Depositor or the Originator.

(b) The Backup Servicer may, in its discretion, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Majority Noteholders request in writing to the Backup Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the Successor Servicer in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer.

(c) As compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the Backup Servicer) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee, together with any other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided herein that accrued prior thereto; including, without limitation, all reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the servicing obligations under the Agreement and amending the Agreement to reflect such transfer.

(d) In the event the Backup Servicer is required to solicit bids, the Backup Servicer shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the

108

Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise that accrued prior thereto. Within 30 days after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Backup Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from the successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s successor. The Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with the Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Backup Servicer nor any other Successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer shall be effective until written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder and each Hedge Counterparty and the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto. The Backup Servicer shall not resign as Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment.

(e) On or after a Servicer Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Servicer Transfer; provided, however, that (i) the Successor Servicer will not assume any obligations of the Servicer described in Section 8.02 and (ii) the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein, including any Additional Servicing Fee. The Owner Trustee, Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. To the extent the terminated Servicer has made Servicing Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had continued to service the Loans hereunder.

Section 8.04. Notification to Securityholders and Hedge Counterparties.

(a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Trust Depositor and each Rating Agency at the

109

(b) Within 10 days following any termination of the Servicer or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and the Trust Depositor at the addresses described in Section 13.04 hereof, to the Noteholders and Certificateholder at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively, and to each Hedge Counterparty at the address set forth for such party in the register kept by the Issuer, as provided under the Indenture.

Section 8.05. Effect of Transfer.

(a) After a Servicer Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Loans and the Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations, except that the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Loans.

(b) A Servicer Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Loans.

Section 8.06. Database File.

Upon reasonable request by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer, the Servicer will provide the Successor Servicer with a magnetic tape or Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet file containing the database file for each Loan (a) as of the Cut–Off Date, (b) the Subsequent Cut–Off Dates, (c) thereafter, as of the last day of the preceding Due Period on the Determination Date prior to a Servicer Default and (d) on and as of the Business Day before the actual commencement of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer following the occurrence of a Servicer Default.

Section 8.07. Waiver of Defaults.

The Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all the Securityholders, and subject to satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicer pursuant to this ARTICLE 8; provided, however, that the Majority Noteholders may not waive a default in making a required distribution to the Hedge Counterparties without the consent of the Hedge Counterparties or on a Note without the consent of each holder of such Note. Upon any waiver or cure of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver or cure shall extend to any subsequent or other default or

110

impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived. No such waivers shall affect any Hedge Transaction that has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 8.08. Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer.

(a) The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Servicer.

(b) The Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the Servicer for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including (as deemed necessary by the Successor Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) Loan payment history, (iv) collections history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer, reflecting all applicable Loan information. The current Servicer shall be obligated to pay the costs associated with the transfer of the servicing files and records to the Successor Servicer.

(c) The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure or delay results from the Successor Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Successor Servicer or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party, including the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Trustees or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity, unenforceability of any Loan with applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Loan.

(d) If the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Servicer assumes the role of Successor Servicer hereunder, such Successor Servicer shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 5.02 concerning delegation of duties to subservicers.

Section 8.09. Rating Agency Condition for Servicer Transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions relating to a Servicer Transfer, no Servicer Transfer shall be effective hereunder unless prior written notice thereof shall have been given to the Rating Agencies, and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.

Section 8.10. Appointment of Successor Backup Servicer; Successor Backup Servicer to Act.

(a) The Backup Servicer may be removed, with or without cause, by the Majority Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee, by notice given in writing to the Backup Servicer (the “Backup Servicer Termination Notice”), a copy of which shall be provided to S&P promptly after it is delivered to the Backup Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall continue to perform all

111

backup servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Backup Servicer Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed by the Backup Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.

(b) In the event that a Successor Backup Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Backup Servicer has ceased to act as Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the backup servicing of loans similar to the Loans as the Successor Backup Servicer hereunder and the Successor Backup Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Backup Servicer in its capacity as Backup Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Backup Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Backup Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such backup servicer transfer (the “Backup Servicer Transfer”); provided, however, that the Successor Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Backup Servicer occurring prior to such Backup Servicer Transfer or for any breach by the Backup Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. As compensation therefor, the Successor Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation equal to the monthly Backup Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer be liable for any Backup Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the backup servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Backup Servicer to act as Backup Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

REMEDIES UPON MISREPRESENTATION;

REPURCHASE OPTION

Section 11.01. Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Loans for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

Upon a discovery by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or any subservicer, a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of a representation or warranty as set forth in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04 or Section 3.05 or as made or deemed made in any Addition Notice or any Subsequent Purchase Agreement relating to Substitute Loans that materially and adversely affects the value of the Loans or the interests of the Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties therein or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties

116

in the related Loan in the case of a representation or warranty relating to a particular Loan (notwithstanding that such representation or warranty was made to the Originator’s or the Trust Depositor’s best knowledge) (an “Ineligible Loan”), the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to each Hedge Counterparty; provided, that, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to inquire or to investigate the breach of any of such representations or warranties. Within 30 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any breach of a representation or warranty, the Originator or Trust Depositor shall (a) promptly cure such breach in all material respects, (b) repurchase each such Ineligible Loan by depositing in the Principal and Interest Account, within such 30 day period, an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount, or (c) remove such Loan from the Issuer and effect a substitution for such affected Loan with a Substitute Loan in accordance with the substitution requirements set forth in Section 2.04, not later than the date a repurchase of such affected Loan would be required hereunder; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the Loans in the aggregate and not to any particular Loan, the Originator may select Loans (without adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had such Loans not been included as part of the Loan Assets (and, in the case of a substitution, had such Substitute Loan been included as part of the Loan Assets instead of the selected Loan) there would have been no breach of such representation or warranty.

Section 11.02. Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Loans.

Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account of the amounts described in Section 11.01 (or upon the Subsequent Transfer Date related to a Substitute Loan described in Section 11.01), and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, the Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall assign to the Originator all of the Issuer’s (or Trust Depositor’s, as applicable) right, title and interest in the repurchased or substituted Loan and related Loan Assets without recourse, representation or warranty. Such reassigned Loan shall no longer thereafter be included in any calculations of Outstanding Loan Balances required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Issuer.

122

not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.06. Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the parties hereto hereby manifest their intent that no third party (other than the Owner Trustee and the Hedge Counterparties) shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and specifically that the Obligors are not third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

Section 13.07. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 13.08. Headings.

The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 13.09. No Bankruptcy Petition; Disclaimer.

(a) Each of the Originator, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Issuer acting through the Owner Trustee and each Holder (by acceptance of the applicable Securities) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, the then applicable preference period and one day) after the payment in full of all amounts owing in respect of all outstanding Classes of Notes rated by any Rating Agency, it will not institute against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, or join any other Person in instituting against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Indenture Trustee from filing proofs of claim or otherwise participating in any such proceedings instituted by any other Person. This Section 13.09 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Certificates represent a beneficial interest in the Issuer and Loan Assets only and the Securities do not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Loan Assets) of the Trust Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Loan Assets and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent that the Trust Depositor enters into other transactions as contemplated in Section 6.07, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein), other than the Loan Assets, conveyed or purported to be conveyed (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by the granting of a Lien) by the Trust Depositor to any Person other than the Issuer (the “Other Assets”).

(c) To the extent that notwithstanding the agreements contained in this Section 13.09, the Issuer, any Securityholder or any Hedge Counterparty, either (i) asserts an interest in or claim

123

to, or benefit from any Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any interest, claim or benefit in or from any Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of Insolvency Laws or otherwise (including without limitation pursuant to Section 1111(b) of the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended) and whether deemed asserted against or through the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor, then the Issuer, each Securityholder by accepting a Note or Certificate and each Hedge Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Trust Depositor that, under the terms of the documents relating to the securitization of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution under applicable law, including Insolvency Laws, and whether asserted against the Trust Depositor or any other Person owned by the Trust Depositor) including, without limitation, the payment of post–petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Issuer, the Hedge Counterparties and the Securityholders is deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 13.09 and that the terms and provisions of this Section 13.09 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.

(d) The provisions of this Section 13.09 shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon, including the Securityholders and the Hedge Counterparties, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.10. Jurisdiction.

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non–exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each such party irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this Agreement or any document related hereto.

Section 13.11. Tax Characterization.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 and Section 2.04 hereof, the Trust Depositor and Owner Trustee agree that, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701–3(b)(1) and for federal income tax purposes, in the event that the Certificates and the Class F Notes are owned by more than one Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a partnership the partners of which are the Certificateholders and the Holders of the Class F Notes, and in the event that the Certificates the Class F Notes are owned by a single Holder, the Issuer will be treated as a division of such Holder.

Section 13.12. Prohibited Transactions with Respect to the Issuer.

124

The Originator shall not:

(a) Provide credit to any Noteholder or Certificateholder for the purpose of enabling such Noteholder or Certificateholder to purchase Notes or Certificates, respectively;

(b) Purchase any Notes or Certificates in an agency or trustee capacity; or

Section 13.13. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.

Wilmington Trust Company acts on behalf of the Issuer solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against the Issuer by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall look only to the Trust Estate under the Trust Agreement for payment or satisfaction thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Notes, or of any Loan or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Loan, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Loan in any Collateral or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate under the Trust Agreement or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to the Certificateholder under the Trust Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation, the existence, condition and ownership of any Collateral; the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any Loan on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Loan to the Issuer or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Loan; the compliance by the Issuer, the Trust Depositor or the Servicer with any covenant, agreement or other obligation or any warranty or representation made under any Transaction Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation; or any action of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer.

Section 13.14. Allocation of Payments with Respect to Loans.

(a) With respect to any Partially Funded Term Loans and any Revolving Loans, the Issuer will own only the principal portion of such Loans outstanding as of the applicable Cut–Off Date. Principal Collections received by the Servicer on any Revolving Loans (other than Loans to SPE Obligors) will be allocated first to the portion of such Loan owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities and any co-lenders under the facility, until the principal amount of such portion is reduced to zero, and then to the portion owned by the Issuer; provided, however, if (i) a payment default occurs with respect to any of the related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (ii) the Originator has determined in its sole discretion that an Obligor’s credit has deteriorated or the Originator has determined in its sole discretion to reduce its

125

commitment to an Obligor, (iii) an Event of Default occurs, (iv) a Servicer Default occurs, or (v) an Accelerated Amortization Event occurs, then Principal Collections received on (A) the applicable Loan (in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above) or (B) all the Revolving Loans (in the case of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) above) will be allocated between the portion owned by the Originator, its Affiliate special purpose entities under the Warehouse Facilities (or any similar facilities entered into after the date hereof) and any co-lenders under the facility, portions owned by the Issuer in a Prior Term Transaction (or any similar future transactions entered into after the date hereof) and the portion owned by the Issuer pro rata based upon the outstanding principal amount of each such portion. So long as there is no (1) payment default on the related Loans (and in the case of Asset Based Revolvers, a payment default shall mean any failure to make a payment on the date such payment is due and such failure continues for more than one calendar day), (2) Servicer Default, (3) Event of Default, or (4) Accelerated Amortization Event, the Servicer will determine the Outstanding Loan Balance, the Retained Interest (if any) and the Principal Collections received with respect to any Revolving Loan secured by Collateral on each Monthly Reconciliation Date, and all other Loans (including Revolving Loans not secured by any Collateral) and in all other cases on each Business Day, pursuant to Section 7.07.

(b) With respect to any Revolving Loan (other than Loans to SPE Obligors), Interest Collections received by the Servicer on those Loans will be allocated between the portion not owned by the Issuer and the portion owned by the Issuer on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of each such portion.

(c) With respect to any Fully Funded Term Loans, Partially Funded Term Loans and Loans to SPE Obligors, Collections received by the Servicer will be allocated between the portion not owned by the Issuer (if any) and the portion owned by the Issuer on a pro rata basis according to the outstanding principal amount of such portion.

Section 13.15. No Partnership.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a co–partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, and the services of the Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent for the Securityholders or the Hedge Counterparties.

Section 13.16. Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 13.17. Acts of Holders.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever Holder action, consent or approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or approval shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be binding upon, all Holders if the Majority Noteholders agree to take such action or give such consent or approval.

Section 13.18. Duration of Agreement.

126

This Agreement shall continue in existence and effect until terminated as herein provided.

Section 13.19. Limited Recourse.

The obligations of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer and the Servicer under this Agreement are solely the obligations of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer and the Servicer. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing by the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer under this Agreement or for the payment by the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer of any fee in respect hereof or any other obligation or claim of or against the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any employee, officer, director, Affiliate, shareholder, partner or member of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Issuer or the Servicer or against the employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner or member or any Affiliate of such Person. The provisions of this Section 13.19 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.20. Confidentiality.

Each of the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the Servicer (if other than CapitalSource), the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees, officers, agents and Affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of material non-public information concerning CapitalSource Inc. and its Public Securities or about the Obligors (to the extent CapitalSource Inc. has advised such Person or such Person has actual knowledge that the Loan Documents prohibit disclosure of such information with respect to the Obligors) obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating, execution and performance of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except that each such party and its employees, officers, agents and Affiliates may disclose such information to other parties to the Transaction Documents and to its external accountants, attorneys, any potential subservicers and the agents of such Persons provided such Persons expressly agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and as required by an applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

Section 13.21. Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.

All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.
